I'm not upset at the momentum of these projects. Just disappointed.

Are these (ever) going to be obtainable from within the US?

I remember Erick saying that these kits aren't selling so well. Whereas with private commissions, Erick already has guaranteed buyer/s. Therefore he gets paid right after he prints out his sculpt, artistic fee included. I think the only way for Erick to earn a profit with these kits is if he sold quite a few of them. So I can't really blame the guy. We all got bills to pay.

Couldn't have summed it up better. He is investing his own money to make characters for us the consumer, and people are wanting more and more dc characters. I don't think people realize just how much it cost to print these and package them. I can tell you now erick is saving everyone a ton of money for theses kits.

We should all be pretty greatful for the ones he has printed, I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't continue or want to renew this license. I wouldn't if I wasn't really making money off it .

I'm sure he will update everyone when he has more to share.

Something's going on behind the scenes. I hope we hear something by the end of the year. It's just odd to hear nothing during the big summer conventions.

Hi guys, I am so sorry but the reality is I have been doing side stuff to afford very expensive HD prints for our next 4 1:4th scale DC characters and 1/4th SF.
Truth is this has become a gamble and I am willing to bet my last chips. There's simply not enough sales going on. It is painfully obvious people don't want kits, specially at our prices.
Our next 1/4th kits will be in the range of $500-$600
For caped charcaters like Batman. I doubt we will sell but a handful. At this point my only choice is to cater to painters and customizers. No other way to stay afloat.
Here is hoping.

That really is too bad. I've really enjoyed getting the 1:6th scale kits and working on them.

Very sad to hear that, but it is understandable. Are you planning to release the 1/6 SF kits that are pending approval?

I enjoyed the 1:6 SF kits, and for what it's worth - they're amazing.

+1, Yes Mr Sosa, your 1/6th sculpts are out of this world. I hope the SF and DC line can survive.
