Sounds good to me. If Mikey can actually place the order and have them shipped to him that would make things nice and smooth.

I just emailed Lonnie to see if we could get a corporate rate on the heads and/or shipping. I won't hear back from him until tomorrow as his "work" day ends at 3.

Here's the costs at the moment: $10 sculpt, plus ship (figure $2 each) plus $15 a head painted, plus shipping to each of us (Mikey will have to give us each our own estimate). Roughly around $30, give or take. I think I can swing that

It's worth it, I'll let you guys know how CM wants to swing it but I say we paypal him like $27.50 each upfront and let him go from there. I'll get his email/paypal address and PM you guys with the info. W-G, you may want to get those ref pics ready along with the apone sculpt shots painted.

PM me if there's stuff not to be posted here, or if you need my own email, etc.

Will do. Just need quote for three heads plus shipping for now.

Great work Wor-Gar and pjam! Let me know if there's anything I can do. Around $30 or so per head, painted is amazing! Keep me posted with the $$$ breakdown and I'll submit my share through Paypal or whatever works best.

Thanks again for getting all this going guys!

Will do, I think we'll probably paypal Mikey separately and let him take it from there when loniies quote comes in. Standing by...

No problem.

Like I said, Lonnie (I love how P keeps spelling his name different every time I hope he's not reading this) anyway, Lonnie should get back to me tomorrow. Then we'll know, we'll have our price, and all we have to do is inform Mikey and PayPal his ass! Very exciting. See how things come together when you put your minds to it. Awesome.

Ok, talked to CM, he want it simple, his response:


Great! But I'd like to avoid getting into the ordering phase. I don't have the time to deal with any more sellers than I am already. You order. You send heads. You pay. I paint heads. I send email with pics. You tell me what to change. I do. You say, "Is good." I send to you. You so happy.

The shipping will probably be the same to as from me, so just include however much it costs to ship it to me in your payment through PayPal to my email address


Sooo, W-G, why don't you get total 3 head quote with shipping from Lonnieronniedonnie. IF and I will paypal you 1/3 share each and paypal CM paint and s/h separately. I have his email address and will PM you guys with it.

I have CM's shipping address in NYC, please ask lonnieronniedonnie if he will ship directly to Mikey.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Lonnieronniedonnie! HAHA!!! I'm glad everyone has such a great sense of humor!

Okey-dokey...

A masterful plan.

IF, looks like you and I will get funds to Wor-Gar, he'll order from LONNIE and we'll each send funds to CM once the heads are shipped. (I'm just gonna send CM $20; $15 paint plus $5 s/h)

Cool beans.

I check in with you guys tomorrow when I hear from Lonnie. Until then... its been fun!

Can't wait for my Apone now! And I almost passed on him.

Here's a few pics of Hicks and Apone.

Well, actually, that's more a pic of the alien kicking butt , but here's some better pics of the valiant Colonial Marines...

Hope this wets your appetite a little more...

 

[pjam]

Those are beautiful, great poses and photography, well done!

Can't wait to get my custommikey painted Apone head with cigar now!

Love to see a "breath mint" shot of Hicks with his shotgun inside the aliens mouth!

Thanks Wor-Gar, just did and sent you a response...My Bad, sorry about that...I've been following this thread and completely didn't think of checking my PM's! I am DEFINITELY STILL IN!!!

 

[PsychoCenobite]

Has anyone got the Vasquez Hot Toys figure? Can you do a mini review for me?

What are the arms like? I thought they were going to have a rubber skin over them but I saw pictures without - that's what put me off.

Thanks,

No rubber jointless arms that I know of, still an amazing figure and I ordered one now that Drake and Ripley are coming. You might be able to use an arm wrap (sleeve) but I don't know much about it...

I think there might have been a review done in Michael Crawford's site, should be in archives, I would PM him and ask for a link if you can't find it.

 

[Indiana Fett]

Hey Wor-Gar and pjam, check out this link over at One Sixth Warriors...GREAT shots using Lonnie's HICKS and APONE heads ON the figures!!!

[PsychoCenobite]

Damn! I might have to order the Hot Toys figures now!

I did spot in this thread someone might paint these heads? I rubbish at painting and could be interested!

[Wor-Gar]

Really great pix! The weathering on the uniforms is exactly how I'd like to do mine. Great reference, thanks IF!

BTW, I am ordering the Apone heads today! Yahoo!
