Thanks Rock! The list has been updated. 
Anthony let me know that the casts are all complete and he shipped out the casts to those of us who were paid up to today. I'll have pics of the casts soon!

Where are they shipping from, Bee?
Also - everybody here should be entering their bashes into the Toy Anxiety "Dealers" thread - they have a contest every month and someone wins a $25 gift certificate. That's probably old news to most people but I see a lot of cool figures in this thread and TA is always saying they don't get many entries. I just entered my John Locke for March. They don't have to be made from all TA parts or even any TA parts, they just like to see what we do with all the junk we buy.

Anthony is in Montreal, so they'll be shipping from there.
I've entered my Locke, Jack and Sawyer in previous months. Those are all my finished customs (and 60% of my total collection!). But a good tip for people who don't get over into the Dealer section!

I wonder how long Nek will do this,keep them coming Anthony...Jacob,man in Black and Richard are my Top 3 but i would also love Sayid,Jin and Faraday.Hurley would just be too damn hard.

I don't know if 11 'interested' people across the last 2 sculpts (to my knowledge at least, going from the 2 threads I've been involved in) is enough to warrant Anthony to keep going for us. I'm afraid there isn't much interest out there anymore with the series being done. I think a lot of 'us' have moved on, save for a handful.
I mean, even Jack who Anthony was BEGGED to sculpt and was the main character only garnered 12 interested boardies here. And if that thread is up to date with who paid, Anthony only sold 6 casts (including multiples to AllisonAmy) on the boards. Again, going off the info posted there. To be honest, I think it's a miracle we got any more out of him.
And to be clear, I'm not putting words in his mouth as I haven't talked to him about doing any more LOST sculpts. This is pure conjecture on my part based on what I've seen in these last few threads.

Oh, and remember, AllisonAmy is on Sunohc's commission list for later this year for a LOST sculpt. So we have at VERY least one more coming.
AllisonAmy
Hoarder of Larimar
Anthony told me he would welcome more commissions, but money is getting tighter for me, right now. I anticipate that Sunohc will begin my sculpt sometime this summer. After I have that paid off, I hope to commission Anthony, again. It all depends on $$$$.
After Sunohc starts the sculpt, I'll let everyone know who it will be.

Got my Ben head today, thank you!!!! 
I have a short Buck from Bespin Luke I am going to use but after popping the head on he's still taller than Jack! I realized I have to take about a quarter inch off Ben's neck.
I hope to start painting him soon...

I hope he will consider more Losties even if the interest is low,i think his own personal interest in LOST is what kept him motivated when he made the latest sculpts,because the interest for Sawyer,Desmond and Jack was not THAT high.

That is a looong neck... Thanks for the pic!

Oh, I hope so too. It's more the interest is dropping. A solid 15 - 20 interested people across the board is better than 20 for one, 16 for the next, 11 for the next, 6 and then 4...
But it's totally up to Anthony. I'll bash any LOST character that a sculpt is made available for. So there's at least ONE cast sold. lol

I'm going to ask Brent to maybe sand the neck down a little shorter pre-painting. Let me know how you make out YoNose so I'll know how much to tell him.
Edit: Actually, mine is going on a Slim and they don't have the short neck adapters so I might be alright with the length. I may need to do some mods post-painting to get it to fit though.

I couldn't resist - I've been dying to see some flesh tones on this sculpt so I went ahead and got started. I'll tape it off when I cut the neck....should have done that first but my excitement got the better of me.
Anyway, aside from my "flat" flesh tone drying quite glossy, I have to say I'm very happy. I would agree that this is Nek's best LOST sculpt yet. There's no doubt who this guy is!
Can anyone recommend a good dull-coat? I use Tamiya acrylics and I have their matte-clear spray but I've read that it sometimes has nasty side-effects on the paint job.

Great job so far! Can't wait to see it done! I love the glimmer of a smirk he has on the left side of his mouth that I didn't catch on the sculpt!
*and I'm no help in recommending a good dull-coat. Sorry.
