We all know he is doing them in one run, but he could update us on the situation.
And since he will not come by here! I will mail him this link...

Sorry, guys!! I knew pjam had updated here a couple times, as we talk frequently, so I've gotten a bit lax with the older threads. Thank you, SPAWNFAN, for bringing this to my attention. All of the Newt figures will be taken care of soon. There are 8 orders outstanding, 4 will be finished up over the weekend and shipped early next week. I've got the last of the bodies on order and the rest will go out by mid December. That will complete the list, and that will be it for Newt.
I want everything outstanding done by 09. It's getting too stressful, for me as well as my clients, to constantly be so far behind. I've found a great group here, with the patience of saints, but it still weighs on me heavily when I can't manage everything I need to in a timely fashion. I have to balance current projects that people have paid for with the next projects in line; one eye on the present and one eye on the future. The development of new stuff eats a tremendous amount of time, which is why I've worked pretty much 7 days a week, 10-16 hours a day for nearly 8 years
Happy to say though that I will be done with that in the new year. Hopefully, for a good long while. I've got a couple forthcoming projects that seem very promising in the long term and I have no plans to even think about developing anything new at least until mid summer. That will free up a ton of time to get stuff out to you guys in the time frame you deserve and maybe even spend some time with my family for the first time in a very long time.
Sorry, didn't mean to dump all of my problems on you guys. It's important to me that all of you know I'm not just collecting payments and being lazy. I take my work, and all of you, very seriously. It just takes forever when you're a one-man team doing R&D, fabrication, accounting, advertisement, promotion, public relations, shipping, etc. I'm doing everything SSC does, alone. On a much smaller scale of course, but you get the idea. It's also a weird way to work, going from one project to the next. It's a lot like working really hard to get a great job, getting fired after six months (as the project runs its course) and having to start the whole process over. And add to that the fact that if I see a better way to do something along the way, I WILL take time to make those upgrades/improvements! I can't imagine sending stuff to people, knowing it could have been better.
Anyway, didn't mean to rant. I'm sure it's a boring read but it feels good to convey to someone the stuff that usually just sits heavy on my mind. Thanks for listening. I sincerely appreciate all of you guys; your enthusiasm for what I do, your support.... All of it. Eight years and I'm still amazed and humbled that people all over the world are willing to spend their money on things I've made with my own hands. That's awesome. I'm going to bookmark all of my threads in one place so I can keep on top of things better. And here's hoping the new year starts on smooth pavement!

Thanks for updating us on this project Shawn! This figure is definitive grail of mine so I want it to be perfect.

Happy now, Guys? I hope that's an "Ah-firmatif"
It's a terrific figure, the outfit is dead on... wonderful craftmanship.

Did you Guys catch this?
"That will complete the list, and that will be it for Newt."
So this will be a rare item indeed.

Wow, I really "missed the boat" on this one! Now that Shawn has said he'll soon be through with his awesome custom Newt. I made mine last year using a 1:6 Anakin Skywalker Episode I figure. It's okay, but not even in the same league of Shawn's as far as craftmanship and quality. I kept stalling on sending payment to him, and now I've missed out. 
It's my fault. I should have sent him payment a long time ago for the figure. Oh well. I've now learned my lesson about waiting TOO long to get in on special projects like this one.

Send him an email, Mike. I'm sure Shawn will make it happen for you as you expressed interest and may already be on his list.
These Newt's will be extremely rare now. You don't want to miss out on this, believe me.

Thanks pjam. I just sent Shawn an e-mail about 10 minutes ago. I was on my knees begging him. I hope he still allows me to get the Newt kit I should have paid for a long time ago. I did get on his list for the kit. I was just debating which head to get. The "rooted" hair, or the later molded/cast hair. Which one did you get pjam? Which one do you others prefer that already have your Newt, or are getting one from Shawn? Let me know. Thanks.

You already have your own sculpted hair Newt. Get the rooted hair, it's amazing...

You're right. Mine has the molded hair. It's...okay. My first full custom child figure. I am still proud of it, but it's not even close to Shawn's as far as screen accuracy and craftmanship. But, I tried.
You've helped me decide. Rooted hair it is! Hopefully Shawn will reply to me soon.
Newt looks great with the helmet! I've got a custom-made helmet from the late, Chris Chulamanis that will fit perfectly on her head.

Thanks pjam. I sent him an e-mail last night, and I was waiting for him to reply to me. It's good to hear that I'm still okay with him, after you talked to him. I appreciate that. Thank you. I will send the money to him as soon as I can. I just want to be sure I have his correct Paypal e-mail address. Do you know pjam, if it is the same e-mail that is used on this website to e-mail him? Please let me know. Thanks again.
