Any reason you don't want to use the Pig Iron heads or the West Wind SHS heads?

I'm not entirely sure they're going to respond well to a mass-mailing campaign, especially if it comes across as being coordinated by one guy.

For my part, I'm going to make an order from Artizan before the end of the month (while they're still offering the free christmas mini for all orders over £10) and as I want their Zorro miniature as well (which is not in the webstore) I have to e-mail them in the process. So I'll make sure to mention the heads while I'm at it.

If you're going to email Dylan about Zorro, ask if they can sell you a Lone Ranger mini too.  I got mine free when I bought the Showdown book but they may sell them too if you ask nicely :)

I'd be surprised if Mike and Dylan did it just because it isn't how they make and sell figures.

Oh for the love of Mike I AM! Why you no look at my other posts! ;)



Rhoderic: I wouldn't dare consider myself a co-ordinator of this I'm merely asking for support as those heads are great and would be perfectly in scale for the Aritzan minis of which Pig iron are too big as are a lot of WW's, I know I have them and I've tried them; the best fit is the Kroenenesque head but can't have loads of SS uber officers running around now can I?

Tell you what, I just do it myself.

Cheers

Then I really don't see the point behind asking Artizan to produce the same product as two other manufacturers.

Because I like the artizan heads too! If it were the same product I wouldn't be asking now would I?

It's another great take on this theme called weird war and would remove the scale creep issues of using other companies heads on Artizan minis.

Anyway, as I said leave it, I've contacted them myself.

Do you think that they are different enough that there is enough market demand to make it worth Mike's efforts to produce them?

This sort of banter can be better dealt with PM to be honest. But yes I do. Unless of course you're the press officer for Artizan?  :lol:

(tongue firmly in cheek here...they're only little bits of metal remember).

Leave this now please unless you've anyhting constructive to add my friend.

Laters.

Perhaps posting this in a public message board is the wrong idea then if you don't want to discuss the issue.

And please don't tell me what to do. Its blindingly rude.

It doesn't matter what Vyper thinks about the market demand for the Artizan heads are. That's for Mike to figure out. All Vyper needs to do is bring up the idea and hope that enough people do care enough to write in.

Artizan can see how many people write in and decide for themselves if this looks worthwhile for them or not. That's not Vyper's department, and he doesn't have to care.

Vyper's answer, "Because I like the artizan heads too! If it were the same product I wouldn't be asking now would I?

It's another great take on this theme called weird war and would remove the scale creep issues of using other companies heads on Artizan minis."

Is all that it needs to be. It is not appropriate to be rubbishing him for, frankly, being a considerate and activist hobbyist.

Keep it up Vyper.

Discussion is one thing that I'm all for my friend, foistering your opinion on me and rubbishing my suggesting is another thing entirely.

If Artizan choose not to come back to me then that's their call...with respect it's not yours to block.

Now can we actually stop this and get back to the good stuff.

And oh I have PM'd you on this.

Pnweerar: Anyhoo thanks for your support you can see where I'm coming from......now back to my super-solider Ultimate Captain America WIP. ;)

Cheers

Yeah I got one of the bob and tiny tim figures with my last order, probably won't keep it though once its painted. Nicely sculpted though.
