A Message to DC Direct

Dear DC Direct,

I understand that you now have under your employ, Mr. Ray Villafane. As you well know, Mr. Villafane is one of the most accomplished and respected sculptors in this business today. I'm certain you realize this already, hence, your hiring him to provide outstanding service to your company.

Please know that you are advised to allow this gentleman all of the creative space you have at your disposal to create high quality statues and mini busts for DC Direct. If you allow him to shine, you will find that the quality of work he provides to your company will put you in dirct competition with Bowen Designs, Sideshow, and other high quality producers of comic sculpting.

I thank you for your decision, as well as your attention,

Sincerely,

Eric Redwine
New York City

I'm a little confused.... What good will it do for the manager of White Castle to read this?

DCD is tooling up with sculpting heavy hitters, so why not:
1. Open up your catalog and make a line of 1/8 or 1/6 scale busts at least as good as the Bowen line -- no more tiny characters with rock bases, too small females and representations of characters from 50 years ago
2. Make a line of museum quality 1/4 scale premium formats or maquettes on par with what sideshow is doing at least for your movie properties (possibly Ross-style as well)
3. Make a line of 1/4-scale maquettes on par with Sideshow's line
4. Make a line of Vs. dioramas

what he said!!!!!!

c'mon erick and ray, you guys can let the right people know or make the scale we want without telling dc!!!

please dc....no more 10" statues.. most people don't buy nearly a fourth of dc statues compared to marvel cause marvel has all the 1/6 and 1/4 all.

oh and by the way, erick and andy keep going at it...its so much fun to read your posts!!!

white castle..
