It would be the same size as last year. Yes, there will be an online event that will start at the end of June.

As odd as it seems, I'm already budging so far ahead lol.

Sorry, The Mule. I should have very much specified. By release I meant Pre-Order...not in people's hands.

really hope you keep the momentum going with this line.

The only changes that occurred with this piece are some additional cut and sew elements added to his 'skirt', new base, slight color scheme update, possibility a few slight paint updates, and the new beads/bobble additions that have yet to be added on. This piece will not include the switch-out portrait with helmet or the switch-out hand holding the sword.

Alex, as owners of the original Reaper will now own something equivalent to an "Ex", and as you know from your records which of the 300 or so customers ordered the original directly from you, will you be refunding the difference should this piece be offered for sale at less than the 2012 $999 asking price?

Thanks.

Sean.

Thanks Alex!
Last question: I've just read that a 1:4 scale Thanos by Canale is expected to be shown at this year's SDCC, can you confirm it? Or in general can you tell if you're working on a 1:4 scale Thanos?

Freaks board, first post:

There's no source and I haven't read anything about it before, but the guy there seems pretty confident and made me dubious hope for Alex to shed some light.

[Bullseye]

Hope your right.

The expected companion piece that's been hinted at would be several months away before it went up for Pre-Order as it's not a fully completed piece yet, so it's still got a ways to go (i.e.: full sculpt to be completed, mold/casted, painted, approval processes with the licensor and our own internal approval process, getting the factory cost, etc.).

The original Reaper General LSF is a stand alone piece and is not considered an Exclusive of the upcoming Demithyle - Reaper General piece. Refunds of any differences of costs between these two separate projects/pieces to those that own the original Reaper General LSF would not occur.

Not sure how rumors like this get started, ha! There is no Thanos piece expected to show at SDCC this year. As to whether a Thanos is even being worked on I really do not know. Hopefully...but of the pieces I do know coming down the pipeline in the near future, that particular destroyer of worlds is not one of them.

1. Are there any new DC comic version life size busts in development?
2. Did the Catwoman lsf get cancelled?
