Yeah it’s going to be worse by the time all of the orders are out there I imagine. It’s a good sculpt, I just like seeing small runs...

You’re right, most likely will be sold out by the time Heise is ready. Would be a shame to miss it, especially if it turns out good...

I’ve never talked to John, but the $100 markup while knowing this Yi Xie sculpt for $210 was in the works doesn’t make much sense. If...

Me too, I’m actually pretty excited to see it painted.

He may, he may not, certainly won’t miss a sculpt I like worrying about his decision though. I’m thinking of painting this one myself...

We’ll have to see I guess. Hoping for the best, I would love to own some work by him.

Well Dai makes them by hand, which is far more difficult so I can understand his pricing. Completely agree with that. I honestly can’t...

If I get it, I might hold onto it till Heise opens his commissions again.

I see where you’re coming from but ultimately both are Yi Xie’s sculptures.

I agree they look very much alike, but at this point most popular expressions have already been done. So it's difficult to come up with...
