Your 30 and still haven't got a sense of humour ?.

Just because its awesome doesn't mean you should have it.
I hope that the head never gets recasted regardless of who owns the rights to what. In this hobby the artists and people here have respect for each other and most of us have been talking on here for years.
If someone ever did recast a head such as Les's Hicks head they would be flamed to hell for it and rightly so in my opinion. Les may not own the rights to Birhns likeness but hot toys never complained and neither did anyone else so if he supply some of us with an awesome sculpt ( myself included ) why not ?.

Seriously though I wouldn't carry this on. You need to look into it more before bringing things like this up , ecspecially with alot of artists being members here , Les included.

supply and demand.truth is I wouldnt do it and Im very sad annoyed at myself for missing out.so I apologise for the offence

 

[uscmhicks]

Theres no offence. Your simply new to the forum and not 100% on everything. Welcome by the way.
You should post a WTB in the commerce section for Les's head. You never know.

dude I have a sense of humor.I just dont get the noob thing.I know what it mean and Im not offended.Im just not used to forums yet,have never done them before.

I'm not sure if you know but xenoviper made his own Hicks sculpt similar to the FML one and he might still be selling it. You should send him a pm.

I shouldnt have said that I knew it would get me in trouble.shouldnt have said it.In my opinion every hicks should have that head.I bought the hicks from,I cant remeber his name,but its the guy doing your apone.his sculpt looks a bit older,too many lines in his cheeks,other than that he looks pretty cool.
