XPhil - He never told me the price in the beginning. I asked over a dozen times, but the creator is a little off, claims he is "autistic", so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He originally told me someone paid $1600 for one of his dolls, but followed up with "that's not to say I'm going to charge you that", so I assumed maybe he'll do a few hundred off that, and everything will be okay. He said he'll customize a middle finger (in which he really just chopped off the middle finger, and added resin to make it appear taller instead of curved, looked fine though) for free. But things got a little weird. I commented on the eyes and the teeth being slightly off and he got very defensive and refused to take criticism.
I asked him yesterday for the final price because he said construction will be done soon, and told me $1689. I argued with him that earlier he said someone only paid $1600 and you said you weren't going to charge me that. So I showed him a screenshot and at first refused to acknowledge it, went on to say that I'm only pissing him off and if he lived closer he'd do something to me (wtf?). But shortly after he followed up with "you're a real nice guy, and if I must say so myself, in a non-gay way, you're pretty sharp" (again, wtf?). At this point, he told me $1600 including shipping and I just "agreed" for now.
This was all in facebook conversations. He makes some cool Chucky's but they're not as accurate as tenoch, but he at least modifies the original molds he made to create custom faces for whomever. Still, $1600 is very expensive for what he claims is 100% homemade (BS, he buys the plush body off some site, he buys the clothing off ebay or someone else, and buys the eyes off ebay too).
So now I have a fake grenade that I painted up for...no reason. Anyone need one? LOL I'll give it to my CP2 chucky even if he never uses it in CP2. It'll look cool for halloween.
