Suggestion A lifesize bust/statue sub-section in Replica Props

[thegreatgalling]

I can see how this might be a lot of work for the mods, but there is something about busts and statues that just don't feel right being in the prop section. They certainly aren't props, unless the statues themselves are in the movies!:lol

Neither are custom designs or toys but you know what i can live with that stuff being there rather than having yet more sections.

I respectfully disagree (with the OP). Props are essentially iconic representations of things seen on screen, and busts/statues of actors certainly fall into that category.

I'm also against further fragmentation of the board into subforums like that without an overwhelming need. I'm still getting used to the Movie Discussion forum! :lol

While it would be handy you'd then also have to make a separate section for video game and book props and I think it would get a bit hard to manage.

Ok, I see your guys' points.

I have a question all together about 1:1 busts or figures alone. Do people commision them off the site here or would I have to look elsewhere for those? and how much does a bust or statue usually cost?

For a full lifesize, or just a bust, it depends. REALLY varies. Materials (resin/silicone) painted or unpainted, etc. All these things change the price. Typically, just busts can go from around $200-$2000. Then you need a mannequin (check out Roxy Displays) and a costume.

Howard S. sells unpainted resin busts for a few hundred and they are unbelievable. Member Fettster also sells fantastic pieces.

Good luck!

Awesome. Thanks. Just needed a general idea of what to save up before i go making any orders and where to look also.
