I assuming that the resin sword will have the stamping.

The prototypes are on the way to me now. Pics this weekend

I think honestly the best approach is to do metal swords with decals. Sure it will not be as cool as real metal etching but metal with the printed detailings as opposed to resin with the recessed detailing is the way to go IMO

I just looked at images of the swords decals would be a peice of cake and look pretty convincing I really hope they go with metal because I could even do the decals myself and offer them to others.

Decals are cheap way out in my opinion, it's like you said it can be done by practically anyone, and certainly no one can do it better with clear detail at that scale than Corrose. It's already been confirmed that Iminine will not do the swords in metal so the least we can get is the talented sculptors to do that fine detail. Hatori Stamp is a must though. The sheath would need the decal.

There are alot of fine details involved with that sword, O'rens as well. Needs to be done right.

Here's some close-up reference.

LOL.. Ive talked to more than one expert in metal scale work and no one seems to think this can be pulled off. Maybe with mass production facilities. Maybe.

What can't be pulled off, the sword in metal or the sword and stamp in metal? You've already confirmed that this can't be done by Iminine in metal, so I'm asking if their resin version will at least have the hatori details on the blade, sheath etc. Will the sword be missing the fine details as well. How much is this gonna retail for again? LOL.

Will Denny offer the option of separate headsculpts? Honestly other than those phenomenal sculpts how will this be any better than the playtoys offering?

It's a fair question given that we don't have a clue what will go into the sets - and yet potential buyers will be expected to shell out the full PO amount up front in the coming week or weeks

A fair question?! Im in the right mind to ban you both from this thread! LOL Seriously?! How can you sit here and insinuate that Iminime isn't putting for its best effort?! Have you learned nothing in the last year about denny and his people?! Its insulting. Its no wonder the man left the boards.

For your information look up the playtoy set. You get two jumpsuits (one with a terrible blood effect), a sword with a stand (no scabbard and when was the stand in the movie?) and shoes that look terrible in proto form so you can imagine how the production peices will look.

The iminime bride will bring two outfits, biker helmet, sword, scabbard and 3D sculpted shoes.

In the end if you want the headsculpt only im sure it will be an option. This is going to sell out regardless.

Re: [iminime] The Deadly Vipers - The Angry Bride, The Yakuza Queen

That's great but what about the details? This is custom work so it's a legit question to ask where the money's going to. And ban us from "your" thread for asking questions? Lol. No one said anything about Iminime's effort but I have some questions because guess what....I'm genuinely interested in buying this. So back to my initial inquiry, I just want to know if the details are going to be on the sword and if not you might want to mention it to someone that's it's pretty important to go all out on the sword because the quality of that and the sculpt are what's truly going to separate this from any other existing offering. Again were talking about the Iminime version here, or is the sword going to be exclusively handled by fullmetal? See wake, questions bro just questions.

I never claimed ownership of this thread. Notice is 'THIS thread'.

Regardless, the sword will be handled to the best of Iminime's abilities. There's no shortcuts. If the final version is not to your standards then so be it. It will be to the highest level Denny can make it without bankrupting the operation. But that fact remains that inquiries have been made and its been determined that a metal sword with the detail you want is out of the question

Calm, but in your right mind you reckon I should be banned from the thread. Nice.

However unfair my comment sounded its not anymore unfair than the insinuation that Denny and his team's final output wont be better than some hackneyed bootlegger's with a $100 product.

Exactly! We're probably jumping the gun here because we haven't even seen what the sword looks like. But Wake....if it doesn't look better than that cheap metal playtoys version, I'm holding your feet to the fire buddy! I gotta do it.

The comments that some of you are making on this thread is the reason why 1/6 collectors stay away or leave SSF freaks. Just calm down! SOOO damn ridiculous.

That was your inference but it wasn't my insinuation. The biker outfit is an obvious point of distinction, but my question was more related to what options Denny & team will be offering - ie standard set and/or DX set or just a DX set.

My understanding is that the fabric outfit would only be offered in a DX set, with a standard set comprising of just the biker outfit - basically to set it apart from, and negate any commercial advantage afforded by, the Playtoys offering. Maybe it has been raised earlier, or maybe it hasn't yet been decided, but I'd also be interested to know if sculpt-only will be an option. In light of the Playtoys set, I'd guess not, but Iminime did offer the Maximus sculpt on its own when ACI's set was brought out.


I'm very happy you've stepped up to manage Iminime's threads, and I appreciate the frustration of having to respond to comments that get under your skin. Rise above it mate. The discussion would travel a lot smoother if you played a straight bat to comments that get under your skin. Emotions can take a perfectly fair and reasonable question and turn it into something that was never there to begin with.

If all of these options have already been discussed, my bad. I'm not following this thread post-by-post.

Fair enough.

There will be many options on this project. Biker, Jumpsuit, Bloody Jumpsuit... I've yet to fully understand the permutations myself.
