Executive Replicas 2001 Space Odyssey Astronauts

Not to start an argument, but I feel that I'm the biggest 2010 fan th. . .oh, wait. Never mind.

Thanks spindrift! By the way <<< I >>> am the biggest 2001 fan. Sorry.

Good news: I sent my images to the manufacturer; The president of Executive Replicas emailed me back only a couple hours later, and said that he wants to use my images for the final figures. That means
1) I won't have to have them printed as delicate water-slide decals,
2) they will be machine-printed directly onto the plastic,
3) I will be credited, and
4) my efforts will be rewarded with a free blue suit, the other one that I wanted. (I pre-ordered the red Dave Bowman already)

Congratulations!

I think you could have held out for a complete set of all three astronauts.

That was generous on the part of ER.

I plan on getting these as well, but I have this custom from the board. Are you planning to make the decals regardless? (hope its okay to post a pic of the other suit)

That custom looks very nice itself..!

Well done Anthrapoid!

 

[Anthrapoid]

Thanks galactiboy, yodasan and all of you.
Here are all the finished images I'm sending to the company:

 

[John Atreides]

Congrats Anthrapoid, we will all benifit from your hard work, thank you!

Cool that they are going to use the decals.Did he say the the head sculpts are final because? Preordered all three.

 

[Anthrapoid]

We didn't discuss the head sculpts in the emails we exchanged. I hesitate to bring it up, because I don't want to insult anyone or to sound like I'm wanting too many changes. Honestly, I think there will be many tweaks before release.

 

[SpaceCrawler]

They seem pretty proud of those head sculpts in all the advertising. I'm not sure they plan on changing anything, it certainly doesn't sound like they are. To me the sculpts are far too cartoony.

I think the Kier Dullea is better than the Lockwood, but either way - the helmets will save us all.

 

[yodasan]

I wonder when GuruAskew will be checking in here.

Yeah, displayed with helmets will be the way to go.

It is...!

 

[Anthrapoid]

Here's a couple updated/improved images I'm sending to the company.
Besides the decal printing, I hope they make the box itself more accurate.

Anthrapoid deserves a whole stack of rep
