None here yet either. And at the risk of upsetting thenammagazine, it hasn't snowed in a week here [although, UPS, USPS, and FedEx have ALL been delivering]
Did you not get the package today? If not, I'd think you'd definitely get it tomorrow. It finally went out Weds via USPS Priority Mail. I had to ship yours outside of the Paypal click-n-ship system since it was a M.O. That's why it didn't send you an automated tracking no. like the others.

Yours went out Wednesday as well via UPS. Don't know why you weren't sent a tracking email. If the package doesn't arrive by Monday let me know.
Everyone who has paid had their stuff shipped out last week or this Wednesday. The only exception is LordAzrael, who paid last night. Yours will post out tomorrow (Saturday) via Global Priority Mail. You may have already received a shipping notice from Paypal, as I just printed the label.

Howdy, Carl! I know you're busy & all, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask again if you'd found my remake Jason's head & jacket amongst all the mess. Josh said the jacket was done and the head only needed the eyes painted - it should already have the hair attached. Thanks!

Hi. I've looked and cannot find an additional remake Jason head & jacket that were not already listed in the spreadsheet that Jen had from what I brought back from Josh's in October.
But I will do another thorough once-over yet again just to be sure. I came back with about 7 large boxes of stuff.

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't understand that from when you said on the 1st that it would ship tomorrow.
Regardless, it did arrive today. After almost 4 years I am only one head away from being out of this thread. Hopefully that final head will actually be able to be used.

Got mine today, thanks Carl and Jen. Now I just need the refund Josh and I worked out and I'm done with this thread!

Micro, I will try to figure something out. I must have either made a mental error and put that coat in with Sined's figures, or else I just misplaced it. I can try to either walk you through it or see if I can put one together for you.
Steve, about the Gorilla... I am trying to get that done along with other stuff (LOTR and Eli's Jokers) as well, so things are still moving over here. I have a few things that need to go out to people soon, Jason kits and a few put together figs that I must not have sent with Carl.
We just had a death in the family over here and I've been swamped with school on top of it. But I am still doing what I can to resolve a few things at a time.

Just received my package a couple of hours ago. Thanks again Jen & Carl for your help!
My figures are about 20-30% done.
The whole sets look like a mess.
Jackets falling apart, heads made very bad, almost nothing in common with a prototype pics. No sack-heads, but hell with that, most important - NO MASKS. Cool Jason without a mask.
Tiny t-shirts (for such a huge figure like Jason), no weathering at all.
Pants that can't be used on any bother body than bbi G3,5 (crappy old body that was laying around here & there on ebay for 0.99$ about year ago or so), no weathering. But the main thing still - pants themselves looks so ridiculous. He looks like a clown in those. They are almost on chest level on the body & almost higher than boots on the legs.
So the main question is - what about the mask's?
I can buy the new pants & new t-shirt, but I can't find Jason mask on ebay.

I was having trouble with the mold when Carl came in, so I can get a pair cast and out to you within the week. I am currently casting for the rest of the Jason commissions, so that won't be a problem. Send me a PM with your address and I will get started on it for you.
As for the parts, the pants in question are the EXACT pants I used on my prototype. The jacket is constructed exactly as I constructed it before, and was actually IMPROVED from the original.. you have that one too I think. The shirt was the same as well, but the shirt and pants are just not weathered yet. After weathering they look much better, obviously. The shirt is meant to be tight fitting, as Jason's shirt was also tight in the film and it needs to hide the seam on the head.
The head is a perfect casting of what I made, but I admit to my failings as a sculptor. It's not pretty, but my customs aren't really pretty. I honestly don't know what to say, it is exactly the same stuff I used for my prototype.
As for the body situation, I use cheap bodies. Usually Soldier Story, BBI, or Dragon/DML. I could never afford HT bodies or anything like that, so my stuff is always gathered to fit those "cheap" bodies.
The sack mask was cobbled together from scraps, I could make you one or walk you through the making of one. I just used T-shirt material and glue.
If anyone needs a tutorial for weathering for their kits, I can post a step by step here for you guys. I know that it's not optimal, but it's better to get parts back than to wait another year for something that you have already waited a long time for. It's the best I can do with what little time I have available to me right now.

You are talking about masks now? I just don't understand about masks or about the head. If yes, well, that's obvious - masks are a must-have for Jason.
Yes, of course, if it's possible, I would like two sack-heads.
About the rest - we can argue about that but there is just no point in this. The prototype looked like a kind of a 1/6 grail for me. This two sets when assembled doesn't look like it. I can make photo. but again, there's no point in this. I understand that there is nothing we can do with it now.

I'll make the masks for you ASAP.
But expecting ANY artist to replicate a piece of artwork exactly as it was is expecting a lot... I doubt I could remake that exactly as it was even if I tried, it would be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle.

Thanks. Please, let me know about it in this thread.
As I said - we can argue about that for a long time, but there is a big difference between a masterpiece that was shown as a prototype & the set that I got.
Basic example is a size - yours looked like a big guy with a endo-mesomorphic proportions (remember, you had a family Jasons photo where he towers over rest of them) & the sets when assembled looks like a midgets.
And there is a lot of artists who make full-set figures here & they are equally to each other for 95%-99%.
Just let me know about my 2 masks & 2 sack-heads please.
