    Factory just informed me that they will be sending me test shots of vinyls and then painted vinyls of this (resin prototype) baby. So far we're still looking at a Dec- delivery date. SOOOO stoked!!! I'll post pics of the test shots when they arrive. :D

    Thanks all,

    Lgcoldrink, I'm def anxious to see the painted samples myself. I specified some metallic finishes and i hope it worked out.

    Poysntixels, Manimal, The CRZ will be 9" of Bot goodness. The bulk actually makes him look even bigger.

    Devilboy, Yes very satisfiying, like having a baby except without the morning sickness and the xxx hours of labor pains :lol: maybe,, ;)

    Frank, very possible, just fo you mang :D

    Not many things really. Arms move up and down and waist will pivot. The legs are glued in place to insure the figure will stand indefinately. I have the unpainted sample and it really dosn't need any other points of articulations to have fun with :)

    Looks awesome! Congrats man, I can only hope to get my own toys produced!

    Will these be boxed or bagged with headers? :lol:

    We are TRYING for a $50.00 price point. So far so good. Keeping fingers crossed :D

    It was bag with headers but there was an issue with the fin on top of his head and the bulkiness overall. I didn't want to drive the cost up with a fancy box from the begining so we are going with a (hopefully) recloseable clamshell packaging.
