If I'm not too burned out on Dark Knight later on Scarecrow is a possibility!

The others are coming along. I'm approaching this a bit differently than the last few. This is how I used to like to work in the commercial world, I work on multiple projects at one time. That way I get a fresh eye and don't get too fatigued on any one head.

I'll post some photos soon as I get one far enough along.... that will be a few days from now.

I can't wait to see the Alfred sculpt..."a ruby the size of a tangerine"...that line makes me crack up every time I watch TDK.

Just started getting these going, actually.

Now that I have a few of these under my belt and see the pitfalls of poor organization so I've come up with a much better less random system that I'm also employing with my Summer Glau commission. Summer Glau commission.

If you would like to order any or all of these heads, please send me an email with "Dark Knight" as the subject. Then state your screen name, real name, heads you would like and quantities of each, painted by Kuato or unpainted, neck drilled or not and finally your shipping address.

My email address for orders and PayPal payments is [email protected]. Please also note your screen name in your payment so I can cross reference.


You can copy and paste this in you email to use this as your template:

To keep things simple, from now on, my standard SSF precasting discount price will be $20.00 per head. This is a significant discount over the eventual full price of $35.00 per head. The drilled neck option is $5.00 per head. Shipping will be $5.00 shipping in th US ( up to 5 heads, add $1 for every head over that ) for unpainted heads from me. Check with me for international shipping (should be about the same). If you are having Kuato paint yours, do not send shipping charges to me. I will send a large batch of heads for painting to Kuato, so you only need pay him for shipping.

However, Kuato has requested that you NOT send him any money until these heads are ready to go. He's got a lot on his plate now, too! But I will keep the record of whether you want the painting option. I need to confirm Kuato's price for these and will update it soon.

The full price will be in effect fat the point when I begin casting. Any order placed AFTER the cut off date will be charged the full price of $35.00 per head. Shipping and neck drilling remain the same price.

As orders come in I will create a chart with order info that I will post like I eventually did with the Joker and Wayne heads.

I will be working on these heads concurrently, but will be finishing them at different times. I will try to stick to the order above. I will also try to get them all done in a fairly speedy fashion so you won't have to wait too long to get your orders!

A note about neck drilling: I will drill out the neck wide and deep enough to accept any neck joint. Simply custom fit your neck joint by filling the cavity (with epoxy putty for a permanent fit or sticky tack for a removable solution) and insert your neck joint until it is fully potted in. then remove any excess material that has been squeezed out during the process.

Thanks, I'm pretty excited about these heads! A whole Dark Knight collection.....

Thanks for putting this up, Chris. Email sent!

I cannot wait to see these finished, Chris! I'm particularly interested in Gordon, Alfred, and Fox. I'd love to ask you for a special commission down the road, but that will have to wait until your TDK portraits have been completed.

Those are the highest quality photos of Two-Face I've seen. Thanks! Where did you get those?

So do we have to pay upfront to get the discount price or can we wait a bit closer to completion to pay?

You can hold on for a bit if you like, no pressure. It would be great if I could have payments in right before I go to casting.

Here is the beginning of "THE LIST". Doesn't that sound ominous?

 

[vader]

Chris - emailed you my wants list.

So what do you guys think would be the best body for Alfred and Gordon? The HT Truetype would be way too built in my opinion, and as far as I'm aware they aren't selling the new smaller body developed for Michael Jackson. Any suggestions on clothing too?

 

[S-Ramos]

For Alfred Ignite had a "chubby" body with their last samurai fig. But Soldier Story just released a fig with a "fat suit" you could probably use on alot of bodies.


Hey Chris did you figure out how your gonna go about doing the glasses, or are getting a sculpt without them?

But Michael Caine isn't fat - he might have a slight middle-aged paunch and a bit of the old "turkey neck" going on, but I wouldn't be putting a fat suit on any figure meant to be him. He's tall (6'2") and of average build (actually looking pretty good for a guy in his 70's!)

Chris, please put me down for Dent, Two-Face and Gordon for now.
