OK, you know, we want an unique Forum fig. Read for more information and excellent Drawing of Eric Roof - http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?t=1006
This pool is for the figur subject choice. Some of you wanted to see Prof.Witchheimer in 28mm :) What should it look like?
-
definitely both of them :D
-
Both of them:
But we are in the 21 century so we need a male and a female.
Can there be anything more mysteries and weird than a woman ? :lol:
-
What a bunch of metal junkies we are. :lol:
Almost everyone is voting for two figures.

I accidentally selected only one :oops:
Two for me! :D
-
The "Mysterious Mastermind" fig should look like the Prof's old avatar!

I what 10 different figures !!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'd go for the Adventurer now, then save the other ideas for special occasions, a new model very year maybe?
-
Now that I'm not rushing to work and have time to think I find that I am inclined to agree with revford, two figures means double production costs and not everyone wants both figures.
A better way would be to make one figure, available to members of this forum for a limited time, then slightly alter the mould so that a different figure is made. People would buy the first because it is a 'limited edition' and the sculpter could then add the altered figured to his range as a normal figure for sale to anyone.

I must say, that this is very economic way.

Ok, looks like, we need both figs but you would give priority to the adventurer one.
@revford, Big Guy - of course, i'm going to start with just one figur, i just wanted to know if the people would like to get both figs. But two minis for start cost too much.
-
Just curious...how much does it cost to commission a figure anyway?
This just came into my mind. Too late probably. But Mike Broadbent who sculpts for Eureka could also be a possibility. His Flashman figures are excellent!

different, depends on sculptor, 250-300$ and more
-
Does that also include the mould making and casting charges?

no :) that's just the sculpt/green. Moulding/casting is extra and cost additional 250-300$ or more.

Two, of course... Why conform with one?? :D

You're looking at $500 on up for the sculpt and casting of about 200 figures. A lot will depend on whether a sculptor discounts for the Professor or anyone steps in to help. Casting will be basically a fixed cost since it's material costs.
