Side note:

I received my custom Chun Li from you, and I'd just like to say thank you so much! You've made me so extremely happy.

Thanks for giving us amazing pieces of art and top quality customer service.

You've raised the bar.

Jerry asked on Facebook if we love him or hate him?

I just google him and I don't like him. I want a juri!

[Grayfox117]

I personally don't care for him either. Many more characters I'd like to see first.

Also, when will you announce or notify the winner of the Shao Kahn AP facebook contest?

Lastly, would you ever consider doing a premium membership club to allow paying members exclusive pre sales on a limited amount of product and/or a percentage discount; Possibly have insurance for paying members whose statues broke on accident, etc?

I know Gentle Giant has something like this. It would be cool that you had one, since you have a large following just purchasing only specific lines from you, one after another. And it would ease the burden a little bit from our wallets.

The statue ES numbers are not tied to the orders. That would be a nightmare to try and organize.

The Shao Kahn contest ends tomorrow.

Ive thought about the 'club' thing...not against it but also not convinced yet.

Something to think about

We're rethinking what the 'Ultimate' line is going to be now...

Basically, I want something in my collection to represent Toxic Avenger and I can't foresee much being released in the future . I came across this CFX silicone mask (officially licensed through Troma) which looks pretty great.

What's ur oppinion of it? Half decent for something 'ready to go'?

Which skin colour and eye colour do you think is closest? Also I know you could 'go to town' touching this up on a person, but what are 1 or 2 small details you would ask them to add (i.e. is there anywhere you think a strand of punched hair should go)?

I hate to say it as you sound pretty excited, but its not very accurate to any of the 3 official versions of Toxie, other than having one eye droopy and lumpy skin. The shapes are incorrect.

As far as color, the online template doesnt do a very good job of representing what those will look like in real life.

Toxic is mostly painted with burnt and raw umbers. i would say a darker hispanic skin tone is closest.

You had mentioned before that the website should hopefully be ready by 15th of Feb, but you still needed a week for testing it. As another member suggested you can put a dummy product up there and ask us to order it, to test if it doesn't crash.

And if you dont think that people might join in you could possibly offer them like a $5-$10 off the next purchase if they take part, so that can just be credited to any account that they make or register?

That sounds complicated.

Glad you like your Chun Li.

We have not started work on a Cody

Are you able to disclose a concrete date as to when the unveiling of the Gouken Vs. Akuma Dio will be shown on the newsletter please?

B.Is the deal with Ikon collectables going to officially happen, or not?
C.And finally, was the email lottery for the MK9 1/4 Shao Kahn statue the LAST email lottery you will have for any other MK statues?[including MK9 Sub Zero, as i just CAN'T miss out on him].Thanks!

A ) Probably next week
B ) Its not looking like it is going to happen
C ) I think the website should be up before the next MK pre-order

I'm sure Street Fighter fans would love to get some as well.

its somethign I think about and would like to try.

Jerry, not a question, but I love the MK print idea included wit the statues, especially for the MK9 pieces.

No, all good, I appreciate the honest oppinion as it's what I wanted Thanks for the info. I did pull it up next to a screen cap and, though the quality looks good, it did look quite 'off' - just got pumped to see something Toxie. I'll be passing on this and put the funds toward an inevitable epic Shao Kahn bust

Yes please rethink this, I also was looking forward to the 1/3 Ryu. What are +- the chances we will see a 1/3 mixed media line like this? Imagine Ryu, Ken, Akuma, ... all in 1/3 with real clothes, maybe with the movable eyes from the busts, limited run, all of them instant grails!

Please no not everyone collect prints. Maybe sell the separately on your site would be a good idea. I would not be happy tp have to pay more or loose a accessory over a print. I never collected prints and will not start now.
