Re: WGP's Classic Star Trek (being cast now)
Two different casters for trek and Supernatural, both beginning casting orders this week. Just a guesstimate, I would like to think at some point next week both will have the first boxes being sent to me.

Re: WGP's Classic Star Trek (being cast now)
I was just contacted by our molder. He has so far cast two of everything and will be sending them off to me for QC and for me to take pics of as he continues on casting the orders.

That might be more meaningful once I have them in hand to take pics, but Rands clipboard was cast in clear red plastic so once painted the lights will look lit up. pretty sweet. Can't wait to see it!

FIRST QUALITY CONTROL BATCH TO APPROVE
I think the male necks need to be dremmeled a bit shorter bit remolded. And Scottys neck can be made a bit skinnier, but otherwise they look gorgeous!

Interest lists are still open. Just let us know who/what you want to be on the list for.

SIZING UPDATE
WGP is using Lonnie Hale from Hero Heads/Frontline as our mold maker caster for the Trek stuff, and he very strongly feels the neck lengths are correct and should stay the same. His reasoning is the uniforms black collar factor which always sticks up making Trek figures look neckless/Jedi Luke frog necked and says the height will keep them looking normal.
That was a pretty good point, so we will not be shortening them on our end, (but will be making Scottys neck a bit thinner).
As to if WGP is making Trek costumes, it has always just been an issue of seamstress availability on out end since we had several other tailoring projects already going with no movement and when the particular seamstress we wanted to have to Trek was free. From us first she had in her que: Flash Gordon, Romana from Doctor Who, and classic Galactica uniforms. To date she has finished Flash and after a several month personal break has just come back and is nearly done with Romana, so hopefully not too much longer, but honestly, trying to place bets on a seamstress is always a good way to lose your money.
Lets just keep our fingers crossed there.

Re: WGP's Classic Star Trek (being cast now)
I see that these are being cast now, regretfully I didn't know about this. Is there any chance I can still get on the list for a Kirk sculpt? Also, are you offering them painted, and if so what's the price/quality? Thanks!
