Sci-Fi Metropolis Spock AVAILABLE

[DarkArtist81]

Now we just need to find a way to score some serviceable uniforms! I really can't wait to paint this head, should be a lot of fun.

Payment sent : Any news on when these will be despatched? :

I'll try and check on them tomorrow.

man i'm tempted to see if i can still get a spock but without kirk it just doesn't make much sense for me to jump into this.

the sculpt looks fantastic though

Chris Howes has a Kirk & McCoy almost finished if you don't mind splitting between sculpters

I hope enough people support these versions of the heads that they will keep making more characters. They already have a radiation burned Pike WITH the chair, and a Yvonne Craig Orion Slave Girl I'm dieing to get. Although I already have a Scifimetropolis Kirk I will gladly purchase another one if the tweaks turn out good.

If you are worried that your sculpts won't "match", SFM told me that the other SFM Trek heads WILL be forthcoming.

This is really good news. Howes is talking about doing more characters beyond Kirk/Spock/McCoy and I have seen some of the plans that the sculptors for SFM have. Should be an oppertunity to build a great classic Trek collection that is way better than the figures offered by Playmates a few years back.

I don't know Howes or his plans but I do know the SFM stuff ROCKS!! Certainly a lot of Trek to be had here suddenly!!

Agreed. Nothing against Chris but it was amazing how fast those sculpts showed up after the SFM stuff started being offered. Having been to the Snyder's studio I have seen the potential the SFM line has. I still can't believe that they can't get those sculpts licensed. It's madness.

So does this mean I should make more uniforms and accessories? Red Uniforms and maybe those sexy female uniforms too? I have to give this some good thoughts. Because if I do all these together with the TOS 3 kings uniforms and accessories at the same time, the prices will be cheaper. (All the cost can be distribute across the board thereby lower the per unit price). Otherwise I or whoever doing the uniforms and accessories have to pay the Production company to make the accessories Mold, and the uniforms pattern again, which are the most EXPENSIVE parts! (All my prototypes, patterns, and molds for the TOS will be vaporized at end of the production).

I am definitely down. Just one question based on your other post that these will only be available as "sets" ? Does the set just cover the main 3 (Kirk, Spock, Bones) or are you going to extend it past that to Sulu, Chekov & Scotty ?

This is why I was asking on the other thread about being able to purchase the uniforms and accessories without the Howes sculpts. I already have the SFM Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty. One of each crew member is enough for me, but I currently have no uniforms.

 

[nanjin]

We started out with only 3 head sculpts on the other post. That's why I am only doing K,S,M. I will make extra for those how are not buying Chris's sculpts. But according to the PM that I received, I did not order enough. Once all the prototypes are done to my specification, I will start a new post for those who want the uniforms.

Sometime, in some thread, I hope you'll share your experience with them.

a buddy of mine who is a massive trek fan was able to acquire both of the original spocks and the rest of the unproduced hand painted prototype figures

So what's the ETA on Spock?

 

[Ironman1188]

Ok, sorry for the delay in responding, the 1:1 reared its ugly head again. Anyway, here is the response I just got:

They will start shipping Tuesday. People should start receiving them by the weekend.

Hopefully this is to everyone's liking. I hope that all goes smoothly and that soon the next SFM Star Trek head will be available for you.

i'll make sure i post in that thread when you do. you don't need pms from us right now though do you?

I'm about to drop off the radar for about a month due to 1:1 work, so let me just say in advance that I commit to buying one each of whatever becomes available, in case I don't have time to check in and I miss the announcement.
