Isnt it kind of bad ethics to mold and cast a production piece like this?

 

[swgeek]

Yes, yes it is.

 

[NakedMoleRat]

Oh, snap! Here we go...

Did you use any kind of soap or compound on your thumb? Or did it liters take nothing more than a bare thumb and some pressure?

Yeah that’s what I did! It’s as simple as rubbing it off! Just gotta watch how much pressure to use or you can take off all the pink. Here is my before and after. View attachment 1364181

Yeah just some pressure and natural moisture from my thumb. On some parts that were really heavily painted I licked my thumb as if I were changing a page in a book lol. I would assume each one will be different depending on how far the airbrush was. That’s why I practiced on the overspray on the ears so get an idea of how hard to push down. (I didn’t want to remove all of the paint)

Nice good to know !

 

[RSutter]

Nice to know the thumb gets rid of some of that excess red!

I think I am going to try to add some ratchet joints to the body, At the very least to the shoulders and elbows. Would be nice to get a basic pose happening with those The body looks like it would lend itself well to it, and I am not as sad about messing the body up where it has no real detail and is covered fully by the robe.

 

[Jaymig926]

Nice looking forward to your mods

Excellent fix gabe3666! It's much improved, thanks for the tip
Now, if only they would ship mine!!! I've got my thumb ready!

I just went on and paid the balance on mine. I wasn't aware I needed to. I just assumed I'd get an email when they were going to charge my card (I just did the full balance preorder rather than a payment plan). I ordered in January as soon as it was released so hopefully I get it soon.

 

[BlandoCalrssian]

I ordered on the 29th, probably 12-18 hours after it went up and I just got my shipping notice. Due to arrive on the 5th!

 

[Rusty85]

What's the shipping cost on these? I paid off my remaining balance but I'm assuming the shipping isn't part of that.

 

[rockbottom]

Mine was 29.71 to North Carolina. Final payment and shipping being charged on the 5th.

 

[Jaymig926]

Anyone else try the fix in the cheeks ?

 

[BudaFett]

So who's gonna make a run for "Christmas" themed robes for this little guy?

Wait, what, they're waiting on us? I was waiting on them!

Yeah, I'm not sure, but I saw somebody else mention they went on and paid the balance, so I checked my account and it gave me the option to so I did.

 

[teecrooz]

They will email about a week before they will process your payment so that your payment info is up to date. No need to sign on and do it unless you want to pay early. Doesn’t hurt to do it, but I was told it doesn’t speed up your ship date.

 

[OddballFett]

Weird. Didn't seem to give me the option to pay. Says I already paid, but that was only the deposit. Guess I'll have to wait. I don't mind waiting for the item but I'd prefer to pay it now while I have the funds ready.

I got an email on Friday (October 30th) saying that the item was arriving into the warehouse and I’d be charged on the 2nd. I was, and it shipped out today. I ordered on the 29th of January for reference.
