Wow! That is incredible!! so glad to be getting this!

 

[Bullet]

The vest is crazy!
I think it would be a shame to make an inferior version for non FS listers. I can understand the exclusive head, or the accessories being limited to that list, but I would feel like I got an unfinished work or a prototype now that we saw this version!.. Anyway, amazing work xeno!

I don't think its a case of making an inferior jacket for everything apart from full set I think it's more of a case of Xeno had them made and already has them in hand and they have been paid for then he decided to go back and try and improve on it a little bit. The result is a slightly better jacket for full set and he can use the others he has already paid for to expand the list and make more people happy. That's the way I'm reading it anyway I could be wrong.

Ya that's how I see it too.

 

[Darthy]

Yeah I would probably say the same if I was in the Full Set list!

It didn't mean to be harsh with xeno, just saying the new jacket is way better and for that reason my interest will go down for the previous version knowing this one will be out. Not like if I had a choice anyway.

 

[xenoviper]

Yes Bullet is right.
When I had the old jackets made the material was the best choice at that time. It was not my intention to make 'inferior' version of the jacket for loose set owners. These are all final products, in fact I had the old jackets altered too so the loose set owners are getting a slightly better version than the original one. (added elastic to jacket cuffs and resized the length of the sleeves)
I wish I could give all of you the new jackets but 30 were made and paid for I could only fix up minor problems to make it better. Hope you guys understand.

 

[meth head]

My god that jacket is gorgeous!!!!!

Can't wait

 

[The Danger]

That looks great. I'm happy to be in on the loose set, just wish all the outfits were the same. I understand though so I guess it's all good!

It's not ideal man but you can't expect Xeno to just scrap the 30 jackets he's already paid for. He's fixed them up as best he can and they will be better than the original proto's just maybe not quite as good as the one's with the FS's. It's just one of those things

There's no way this was ever going to be an issue for me anyway there was no way I was signing up for anything other than the FS. This character deserves the full treatment for me.

Xeno has nailed it across the board!

Although I understand 100%, you would probably feel different if you weren't on the full set. I didn't think I could afford it after a few personal losses so I jumped on the loose set instead, which I regret, but there's nothing I can do now. This is one of my top 5 favorite movies so I'd do anything to get on the FS list, but even if I don't I'd still like the same things that everyone gets (minus the mask that is).

I mean NO disrespect by saying this so I don't want it taken the wrong way, I just want the perfect Drive figure, and it looks like those on the FS are getting it!

If I was on one of the other lists I'd want the best possible jacket I could get and with the way things have worked out that's exactly what your getting (the best jacket Xeno can put together for that particular list). I can completely understand the frustration but due to unforeseen circumstances this project has taken longer than some others take and because of that Xeno had the opportunity to utilise a new material that the tailor found. You can't just expect him to scrap material that he has already paid for and had tailored into jackets because of this new discovery.

It sucks that personal issues arose that kept you from signing up for the FS list it happens to everyone from time to time, real life has to come first but you can't expect Xeno to just throw his money away and start from scratch across the board. He want's to put out the best possible product and that's exactly what he's doing besides the new discovery means 10 additional people are getting in on this master piece so its win win.

Don't get me wrong I'd like to see everybody get what they want i.e. the same Jacket across the board I just don't think it's possible with way the project has worked out is all

 

[The Danger]

I would never expect him to scrap what he has paid for. Other things do come first before this so I did what I had to do and I'm happy to get what I'm on the list for. Actually - 20 people are! Awesome news for those who want this.

I wonder if those jackets from the loose set can be put towards the 2nd loose set and we can upgrade to FS jackets? I don't know how many have been made so far though, so who knows.

Fair enough I didn't know the jackets were already made.. I have been on many projects of yours and this one might be your best achievement yet!

Projects I'm on at the moment are from guys I don't really have respect for, doing it only for money, and I believe it's more and more like it. I wouldn't miss that drive project of yours for anything!

 

[Bullet]

I think all the Jacket are now made but I could be wrong. Was my understanding that 30 where made originally (20 for FS and 10 for loose set) and with the new material discovery another 20 where made now meaning (20 for FS NEW ver Jacket, 10 DX loose set Old ver Jacket & 20 Regular unpainted Loose set Old ver Jacket). I think that's how its worked out but only Xeno know's for sure

Basically the 20 new ones are for FS and the 30 older style one's have been split across a DX painted option and regular unpainted option making the overall release bigger

 

[Darthy]

He would sell his 30 older style jackets anyway. It's always possible for xeno to open 5-10 spots for people who want the new jacket only. (+hs) Or to open more spots for FS. Or to make the new jacket for people on the FS waitlist or people on the first loose set list. I see lots of options!

There are lots of possible options and I am sure Xeno has or is considering all of them

 

[Calcifer]

Xeno can we get a pic of the full figure like you have above but with the revised Gosling sculpt on it?

 

[snoop101]

You put a lot of work into this Xeno, it looks incredible.

Just curious, does he come with any accessories? Hammer, bullet, etc.?
