Doesn't he charge like 7k for a paint hair job though? Saw a few screenshots recently of him quoting a price.

that sounds like wild misinformation

Sounds like, or you know for a fact it is?

Seven thousand? We could make our own sculpt for that.

“Yeah but who’s gonna paint it, kid? You?”

I can see this turning into its own how far can we go thread lol

 

[Chopper Face]

I’ll paint all your sculpts for 5K a pop.
Just think of all the money you’ll save in the long run!!

I doubt he’s gotten any bites on that with that rate to be honest. Nothing against his work, but even the best of the best couldn’t command that at this scale.

I’m going to go right out on a limb here and say that’s about what these things should cost though. People ask me all the time why I don’t take personal commissions. The time I spent doing one of these heads I could freelance brand identity work or fashion campaigns which is what I do here in NYC in the same amount of time spent and make about what he’s quoting.

The artist in me, sadly to tell everyone, knows the going commission rate for quality paint job and hair jobs in this hobby is criminally low.

My advice to all the artists out there: charge way more… this is highly detailed, hand made, highly time consuming work that most don’t have the skill for. sorry collectors (I’m one of them too) I know that’s a hard pill to swallow.

Received my Doc from S_U_works. I love it!

Just got my Doc Brown. The HS could be better, but the attention to detail on all the extra is astounding. I really like this figure a lot.

Wow! That looks really good Pixel. I saw the preorder for a doc head on OSK. This might be better. Where did you get it?

Thanks!

As Hal9000 said, the sculpt is from Dean Tolliver.

Thinking about ordering it. It's definitely better than Hot Toys.
Edit-placed my order with OSK

Kit put up that sculpt for sale on his site. Not bad at all for only $40. It's not perfect but a great option for the price.

Better than the stock Hot Toys sculpt by a mile.

For $40, the sculpt is not painted, right?

Thanks and ordered. Looks much better then Hot Toys. And for the price anyway!

 

[Darth KirBayBey]

Yeah, best case it's a lot better than Hot Toys, worst case, I'm out $40

I think it said Q2 of this year.

Had mine painted and haired. Something is off thinking the eyes might be too small compared to other paint ups.

Dig the sculpt though.
