Molecule8 - 1/6 Scale Willy Wonka

[siquisiri]

The clothing is decent probably the only thing - looking to get a custom sculpt done to use what can be salvaged.

Head body etc can go in the box as no one is buying this for near cost. The clothing works well on a normal body.

Id get this, but unless they fixed what they did to the artists, hell nah

I tend to agree. Even though I would LOVE to add this figure to my collection, I just don't see that I can given the circumstances.

Fortunately I predict that M8's inability to deliver this figure will spare everyone the ethical dilemma of whether or not they should purchase it in support of M8's theft and exploitation.

This will never be released unless another company buys the rights and sculpt, M8 is dead in the water at this point

Be no news on this advice is those who are silly enough to buy it from the site contact paypal get your dough back. This ain't happening hopefully a 3rd party company will make this happen for you guys.

Wonka is a money maker if a legitimate trustworthy company wants to get the license.

Yes it is which is why it surprises that not even an unlicensed company has touched this. Baffles me why companies like Blitzway have got cut throat island and not this?
This and Wizard of oz are 2 that would sell super well.

Kinda wish Blitzway would of done them.

 

[greatlakes6]

I agree, Blitzway would have made a great Wonka.

They are shutting down / dissolving. Anyone who has money out to them on Wonka better seek a refund ASAP.

From the Molecule8 John Lennon thread...

https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/general-collectibles-action-figures/178711-molecule8-john-lennon-update-5-10-18-scam-company-777.html

To quote Muhammad Ali, "Slim, and none. And Slim just left town."

I may have missed this earlier in the thread but M8 have applied to be dissolved. Not surprising really and a fitting end to a disastrously managed company.
Still can preorder wonka on the site though apparently which is bloody awful.

Well on the plus side... this was the longest running thread I ever started.

 

[Godfather1408]

Spoken to Xensation about tackling Wonka, they have passed it on to the team so possible chance it could happen if enough people want it?

Hopefully you guys will get a Gene Wilder Wonka soon!

Would be all for a Wonka. Been on my bucket list since getting into 1/6 scale figure collecting.

I hear you man I made a small run happen with a few artist as wasn't paying Rainman prices.
It's really odd that no company or 3rd party company has made a Wonka as of yet.

What is really fascinating is that we were able to get 38 glorious pages out of a non-existent figure that most at the very least deep down knew would never exist.
