Title: Living Icon of the Elder Gods released - website up and running
Post by: CrumbReaper on 30 April 2011, 09:45:15 AM
Yep, about time! I have the first cast through from the very excellent Geronimo of the Living Icon of the Elder Gods

It's 80mm high by 58mm across each face, high quality pressure cast resin. I've got this on a special release price until the 31st May. Thanks for all the encouragement and feedback that kept me going to put this together.

Wow it turned out really well and the price is quite a bit lower then I would have thought, definitely have to order me one.

Ordered!  Looks like a perfect piece to write a new Strange Aeons scenario around  ;)

Many thanks Jim, the response has been overwhelming and I'm glad I only launched on 2 out of the 5 sites to
start with! I've upped my stock request from Geronimo and will let you know when the extra stock is landing - won't be too long.

Anyone ordering this piece will be notified on a pre-order for the next release and will get a free cast of something very gribbly and limited to the pre-orders.

Thank you too, as mentioned I wasn't ready for the response to this and am ordering more
stock, will let everyone know by Monday evening the e.t.a but it won't be long....... and there
will be the limited edition freebie offered up on the next order too  :)

I would be mad not to get one so I did! Just placed an order. Suites perfectly for my SA scenario

keep up the good work.

btw: site looks good!

Many thanks for the order - please see posts above for very slight delay on stock due to response to
the piece, I just hadn't prepared myself for this level of ordering  :o

I've decided I'm the worst client I ever designed a website for - took 4 designs and many tweaks to get
to where it is but I'm happy with the graphics etc and hopefully I've made the pricing and shipping easier by
giving inclusive prices and shipping options.

Will update everyone Monday with news on stock, don't expect it will take long and then you will get pre-order offers
on the other items   8)

Don't worry mate :)

I got my hands full of projects so I have time to wait :)

and about the website graphs. They are spot on and it's your right as a customer to demand the best end result hehe :)

Glad you are on the forum as the email address is bouncing back where I emailed out a "sorry for a short delay" message, good job there's more than 1 way to contact folk these days   8)

That is a great piece with a "need to own it"-quality to it :D

Have you considered a pre-order option for the rest of the current releases? Might help you to gauge your demand. Personally I would order all your current releases especially if I could save a bit by shipping them all at once.

Many, many thanks I am overwhelmed and over the moon at the response to the release
of this and I don't just mean the sales, the emails and posts I've read make me feel on top
of the world  8)

I had but as mentioned in this thread the response to this piece has completely smashed me in the head with a
large reality check, I'd rather wait until I can guarantee the casts and then get them out - don't worry though as
more pieces are released I will offer sets of stuff.

The Sarcophagus Tomb set being the next one out, I'm holidng stuff back so I can get the lot cast and released
in one go, then I can offer individual pieces as well as sets and combo options......... I've put an email for info link on the site for the in-progress stuff so people can register an interest  8)

Thanks, my stance on the whole production thing is look at costs to get it molded, cast, packed and shipped and make
sure that's covered. I'm lucky enough to have a full time job, this isn't an income generator, I just want the stuff out there and get it turned over, yes I make a small profit but I'd rather see the stuff go at a good price and keep the customers happy with a good quality piece delivered for a reasonable price - it's nice to read feedback like yours on the pricing, thanks for posting it  8)

As I mentioned over on Frothers, ordered today, and can't wait. :)
I agree with the other comments, looks like for the quality and size of sculpt, it's a damn good
price. And if the casting is as good as the rest of Geronimo's work, it'll be magic! :)

Thanks, as a long time gamer and hobby person I want the price and quality to be the best they
can be, I'd rather sell a lot of items for a very small margin on each sale and get them out to the
gamers and collectors. I've made sure I can cover the costs for getting Geronimo to do the casting
as I totally agree - his work is up there amongst the best I have ever come across.

There will be a short delay in my stock landing approx 14th May due to the massive increase in
quantity I had to ask for, I am still in shock, seriously. I was pleased with my sculpt enough to
go for getting it cast obviously but the level of response has been overwhelming. A freebie sculpt
will be getting offered up for all pre-orders of the next release. Hopefully pics in the next day or 2
of it. 8)
Title: adjusted post and added multiple ordering
Post by: CrumbReaper on 09 May 2011, 11:23:06 AM
I've now added the options to order 1, 2 or 3 casts at the same time and save on some postage - UK costs are rock-bottom anyway so I've put a £1 discount on the casts if you buy 3.

Anyone that's ordered from the rest of the world will get a refund of the postal difference when I ship the stuff out.

Should have done it before launch, thanks for all those that asked for it, sorry for the delay.

Ordered one 8). Together with Fenris Games' Cyclopean scenery, I can do a nice and wicked Cthulhu table now.

The quality of the sculpt is excellent, I really hope to see some figures from the Cthulhu Mythos from you :)

Has anyone actually done the "about" 7 steps puzzle?

I've managed 2 steps but is it just a random thing or is there a hidden meaning?

I've got 8 people solved it so far - no gold bar at the end or anything, a nice bit of art
and you will get notified of a pre-release deal on the next releases......... it's a bit of fun,
solving it will not get you into the service of the Great Shoggoth  ;)

Thanks for the order, I'm looking forwards to getting the stock order this weekend and then franticly packing and shipping stuff out asap - then further stock will arrive around the 18th May........ I'm also looking forwards to seeing photos of the stuff people are making with them and the paint work too  8)

Thank you very much, I keep trying figures but no joy yet, am working on it though as I want to do something
figure wise - just trying to get my style to work on a figure.......  other sculptors make figure work look easy, I've
realised it's anything but!  ::)

The next 3 pieces have been sent to the caster and are the Sigil of the Necronomicon, Seal of the Cthulhuminati and
the Sarcophagus Lid.

More news once they are ready, hopefully will have an idea on the timescale for release next week........  :)

This stuff is amazing, a wide range of uses too - vague and eldritch as HPL's writing, I could see these things being models of Great old ones/deities, ancient relics or just something nice to put on the wall :D

Got mine too a week ago. Good quality and a piece that fits into many scales and scenarios. I will personally use it for my 15mm projects.

Just found mine in the mailbox, and am happy to report it made the transatlantic journey safe and sound, in no small part due to some very thorough packing.  As a former mail order professional, I salute you!

Coincidentally, I just finished writing up the first draft of the Strange Aeons 'Living Idol' scenario last night, so its here just in time for playtesting.  I'd better get painting. :D

Excellent news, glad to hear the USA destined pieces are starting to arrive and in conjunction with a great gaming configuration - the portents are good!

As with everyone else - please send pics of the the painted item in use, can't wait to see what folk do with it  8)
