Looks good!

I like how you filled out the body. You replaced the boots and web belt, right? Anything else?

Shaping up nicely!

Thank dude,
So far:

- Hot Toys Regular TT
- Hot Toys Godfather Fat Suit
- Web belt (got it from Ebay)
- Night Vision Goggles from One Sixth Depot
- Sideshow Darth Maul gloves
- Diamond Stargate SG-1 black boots with laces

I'll eventually use DiD Che Guevara's belt and boots...
 
Hey guys I just wanted to reiterate some points about this project especially for those who have come in late to the game.

Why this project is slower than others:

From the beginning because most of you guys went through so much crap with Howes I wanted to give you the best possible casting of the heads I could. So I asked and Ryan “Blindvoyeur” volunteered at the same time to pressure cast my GB sculpts so there would be little to no clean up involved and would catch all the detail and overall be better castings than I could do myself.

Because I have to abide by Ryan’s Schedule and the fact the a lot of you have ordered one head or multiples of another have caused me to have to break up sets, so I have to call Ryan for replacement heads so I can complete sets for the next in line. So that is causing some delays (however this is going faster that I thought it would.)

This means I’m not in total control of the project, and that means I can’t give a solid concrete shipping time. I’m very sorry about that and this is most likely a onetime thing with this type of project. I don’t foresee me doing another four head sculpt set project like this again (after the Beatles project that is.)

Most of you, and by most of you I mean the majority of you guys are very understanding and very appreciative about the wait time even with all the other customizers out there who have taken the money and run, so too say. And your confidence in me after all those others have failed you really means a lot to me.

As most of you know I’m what you might call the anti-Chris (Howe’s) in that I don’t start a new project until the current project is done (sans the odd late comer who comes in after a new project is started) and it will remain that way.

As you can see by the list in the first post we’re nearing the end of this one. I mostly have painted sets that I’m working on now and as it’s the holidays the post office is running a lot slower but I hope to have everyone else’s Ghostbusters out to you by the end of the year.

Updates will always be in the first post, just look to the list!

So in conclusion I say thank you SSF for your trust. :)

hey, if we can no longer trust the cream of the crop of this board, and the most trustworthy and professional, because of a few sad "incidents" by lesser humanoids, SSF wouldn't be worth coming to anymore. i wasn't around when SSF started, but i'll bet it was awesomer than it is now.

Well I tell you this. Guys like Spense here... make SSF amazing for guys like me !

And I know I will need to send some money his way soon ! :rock

Thanks Spense.
 
Howdy, folks! Two things...

A) Egon is available for order at www.mattycollector.com as of 9AM today. Go get him!

B) Can anyone tell me how I go about attaching these heads to true type bodies? I don't have the heads yet, but I'm trying to plan in advance. Will I be using the necks provided with the true types? Do I need to pull the plug off of the heads that come with the body and attach that to the new head? If so, do I need to glue anything?

Thanks in advance!

i think most people will be attatching the head to the hot toys neck by glue.

Feel bad for the poor schlump who cancelled. Got my unpainted set and they absolutely rock. Spence has never been anything but outstanding in my experience. Great news about Egon being up for order as well.
 
i not got my heads yet but from what i see they are awsome. i cant wait tosee them in person!!

good stuffs need time.. so we don't mind the wait... and since i bought from you before... and know your quality..its worth the wait!

trust you cause, sadly..from all the customizers i ordered.. only you, susula and Z actually fulfilled the order... lol:chew

True! And it is even more worthy that Spenser decided to go the looooooonger way (usually you place an order and immediatly after paying via PayPal the postman is knocking on your door holding your freshly casted head in a lovely packed box presenting it to you as it was your newest baby) just because Chris FU Howes screwed us. This wasnt Spensers business, but he is the one who stands up. I really respect that kind of business/promotion and I love to be a part of it (except for the Howes-screwed-us-part). :cool:
Guess you get my point. Im confused, have to sleep, refresh energy. :duh

Same here... Annoying isnt it?
 
I finally had the time to take a close look at Mattel's Egon... I really thought the likeness wasnt that bad. Yes, it is definitly a hughe improvement to Ray but these heads simply look silly... Further they are far too big for a HT TT body... :(
Good I have Spenser's set on order. :rock
 
More painted sets out.

I’m whittling it down little by little; I hope to have all other orders out before the end of the month.
 
Any chance you might re-do Ray someday, Spence? I love all four of the sculpts, but the Ray head, in my humble opinion, shows the least personality of the character. I would love to be able to get one with this expression:

I'm with you bro.

I am going to get my first two soon, just need to catch up on my bills first.
 
As the members above have asked I am also wondering if the head sculpts are available all the time or are they only available for a limited time? I am very interested in getting all four. Possibly not now but by the end of next month I will have enough funds to make the purchase.

I was also wondering about the question MicroJow made:

If this is a possibility I would hold off on buying the Ray head sculpt and purchase the other 3.

Thanks in advance Spenser if your able to answer my questions.
