Will any European retailer sell these? I remember OSB sold the Wallstreet killer.

Not sure. Thats a question for Denny.

I like how you titled it "Vulcan Fist Officer" hahaha.




Denny... I think the likeness can be improved more with a better jawline and the hair should not be cut straight across the front. It looks too much like a toy/fake with such a clean cut. It should have tiny little gaps/parts to increase the realism. And I hate to say this... but the ear also looks off as it's sticking out too much. It should be closer to his head. The nose could also do with some small adjustments such as making the nostrils flare out more.

I think this picture has a good angle to show these potentially minor corrections. (Jawline/face is not minor change, but I think necessary to increase likeness)

New pictures look great and its about time Iminime got somebody on that. Lets be honest its always been there major failing. I've lost count of the number of figures that really havent been shown off to there full potential when the full reveal comes around. Must have cost Iminime a fortune in lost sales so congratz Omar and a good start .

Personally I don't see the need for a second site though. Is likely to do nothing more than create confusion. Either Wakes new site should become the new Iminime.net or the new highly improved pictures should just be sent to Denny for use on the existing site. As a non US based english speaking customer in the UK where do I now order from does it make a difference which site I order from? I just don't see the need tbh I believe that any purchase I make will come directly from Denny still correct?

I personally don't see the need for a US distribution centre either the current system of Denny shipping to individual customers where ever they are in the world seems to work fine. I may be wrong but all I can see the new site adding is a middle man to communicate with. Any repairs or replacements would still need to go through Denny in Korea as Iminime is his company. Whats the point of having to communicate with someone else in the US who then needs to communicate with Denny in Korea anyway for the parts needed etc. Just appears over complicated to me.

Anyway the site looks sharp Omar and the pics look great! However I don't see why they couldn't just be sent to Denny once completed for use on the existing site. Or better yet as I mentioned earlier the new site just becomes Iminime.net

Re: [iminime] Trekking into the Dark - The Brash Captain, The Vulcan First Officer PI

No problem at all! Im here to answer questions!


Ok, sorry for the confusion... here's the answer. CINEMASCALE.com will handle any and all North American AND Sideshow Freaks Forum orders. Exclusively. You could order through Iminime, but the money will be refunded or transferred back to Cinemascale and so will the responsibility of customer service.



Cinemascale will sometimes have exclusive items available only through cinema scale (much in the way that sideshow works). Broad releases will go up at the same time or within a few hours of each other. Cinemascale will make ALL of the normal Imnime releases available through the website.



The costs of shipping are the same for you. Iminime will see a slight reduction (very minor) in their shipping costs to the US because instead of shipping 30 individual boxes they are shipping one or two large one to a central address where they will be distributed from there.

Additionally hopefully cinemascale customers will benefit from having immediate answers to questions and concerns (kind of like these! )



Just answered this above, but to reiterate... YES to all releases and configurations.



Yes. Still have to get pricing on this.



That would require printing the fabric pattern which for orders of less than 1,000 yards is impossible and/or cost prohibitive. Unfortunately that is a limitation of NOT being mass produced.



I don't know the answer to this. I suspect when Denny reads the reaction he will gauge wether or not to make the call here.



I need to discuss some of your questions with Denny to give you the precise answers your want. To my knowledge:

1. DX would entail a separate HS and I do NOT believe either Angel Eyes or Tuco will have that.
2. The inhouse project isn't any cheaper, contrary to popular belief. It's just different.



Yes, the one you pre-ordered. LOL. Relax, Yuanmei, you are covered!



I answered this above!

As far as the DX thing goes, that was mainly referring to Tuco, as there was a whole vote for which Headsculpt to do, and I didn't know if they were maybe pursuing a more limited run of the other option that people voted for as an extra.

As for the in-house thing, I see. I was just curious why the price was higher and if these two would follow suit.

Hey Denny. I'm not sure if I'm getting the newsletters even though I signed up. I will send you a PM with my email address.

[Important notes in response to a few questions we received]

1.Please do not share links in the newsletter with others. This is a private link for our trusted customers only.

2.This is custom handmade 1:6 scale artwork and because of this pricing is set higher when compared to China or HK based companies who offer mass produced items.

3.We are open to feedback and are willing to modify the piece, however please be aware this may cause production delays.
(Normally even relatively small mods can delay production a few weeks). Of course we want to offer the best product and once we make the changes a new set of promo photos will be taken again.

[Important Annoucement]

North America based SSF customers should now preorder our custom work through
www.cinemascale.com


The reason we set up this new partnership is as follows:

1.Due to license issues, we as manufacturers of the artwork cannot show images officially. While a third party site may.

2.The communication & all related customer service for US & Canada customers will be much easier.

3.All suggestions and customer based feedback can be gathered through cinemascale more effectively in the future.

4.VIP members of iminime will be treated in the same manner as on the iminime website.
Just email [email protected] with your VIP information and you will receive a coupon code if you intend to preorder.

Because our limited ediions products may sell out, missed items may sometimes be available through cinemascale. (This is not 100% of the case but it will help some customers to not to miss out on items in the future)

I have a very trusted person in charge of handling this new partnership and to take care of the customers in North America. Customers will be pleased and everyone will be taken care of eventually.

Of course, people who prefer to preorder at iminime.net with the provided hidden link, are free to do so. It's all up to customers.


Payment plans are not an option currently nor are they planned for now.




Thank you for reading!

Denny

Re: [iminime] Trekking into the Dark - The Brash Captain, The Vulcan First Officer PI

Hey guys,

Just to piggyback on Denny's post...

I've already done some quick mock ups in photoshop and sent Denny some addtional references regarding Spock. Hopefully the likeness will be improved. Please offer any suggestions for improvements!

Also, Im keeping the figure and denny will ship a new head to me to do another round of promo photography.

Re: [iminime] Trekking into the Dark - The Brash Captain, The Vulcan First Officer PI

Okay, here are my quick recommendations and a photoshop mockup.
1. Lengthen/narrow face
2. More forehead
3. Slightly enlarge eyes
4. Reshape chin

Not perfect, but I think it's closer.

Re: [iminime] Trekking into the Dark - The Brash Captain, The Vulcan First Officer PI

I agree that the likeness is off enough that the price tag makes me shy away. Someone made a point about the ears sticking out too much, which I would agree with. The eyes also look a bit light in some pictures - Quinto's got fairly dark chocolate eyes.

I'd be willing to pay a lot for this figure, but for that price I think I need more accuracy.

We aRe working on it! Denny has seen some of the above references. He's gonna get started on the changes ASAP.

Also the captain prototype should be ready soon too by the beginning of oct the latest. At which point you may see pictures of both soon!

Wow that looks dead on!
If the sculpt looked like that this would be an instant buy.
