MSW, don't mind their jabs.It was supposed to be on the down low until their announcement but after having to turn down work at Sideshow some oranged haired "kid" from Sideshow spilled the beans early. So now I guess it's payback time. My very own press release.....
That very oranged haired kid (what hair is left on his head) is no longer or will no longer be "exclusive" with Sideshow in the very near future.

I just hope they put him to work on a big line of JLA busts and statues in BD scale. And maybe some 1/4 scale maquettes or PFs while they're at it.

Yeah but how do we really know that it is Ray posting?

I wouldn't be suprised if it was Zurb posting, pretending to be Ray.

Ray is just another one of the great sculptors in DC Direct's stable. Over the years, they've had mega-talented people sculpting for them (Cipriano, Paquet, Bruckner, Cleary, etc.) I mean really, these guys are the sculpting superstars of this business. I just wish they had better art direction (witness the Shazam light-up statue, statues unyieldingly based on a certain artist's vision of a character) and had the common sense to actually start making fullsize sculpts and charging a fair price for these sculpts. I know these aren't decisions that the sculptor makes, hence the reason I rail against their art direction. Nevertheless, I know this is "old" news, but congrats to Ray (and for finally getting your own press release, too). I can't wait to see what you have in store for us, Ray.
