Rise of the RadioactiveUppercut!

So here is the first character in this fight-style Series.
There are about 50 designs solidified, 2 in sculpt, and about 20 more in rough concepts.
All figures will have the same sockets for head, arms, etc (so they can be interchanged like SB, Gargamel and RxH do)

Just want to get some feedback and gauge interest.
Figure will be made per order in case anyone is interested
LMK what you all think

i think it looks great. Though I will say, I don't see the relation between the 8-ball and all they eyes. And would rather see the 8 ball as an additional eye, or at least something that seems to connect the rest of the figure to the 8-ball. But I'm not a big tattoo guy and maybe I just don't understand it as a symbol.
But other than that. I really like it and think it's very well done.

 

[stamp of approval]

 

yeah the ball in the chest is all painted, so i guess the deco on there could be diff with each version (maybe a change of name would be in order too)
still trying to feel it all out

would $150 for a made per order piece be too steep?

I would hollow-cast samples and have a few styles to chose from

 

thanks for taking the time to check this out guys!

 

I'd say yes - by a lot. Not trying to be a dick. But IMO vinyl figures should be more expensive than homemade resin figures (unless it's an absolute knock-out, highly detailed kit), and vinyl FFs go for about $60.

 

yeah i figured....trying to figure all that out


since they would all be hand cast and handpainted...

 

I like it, but it would be hard to get more than $50-$70. too much competition for the same dollars.

 

so if it were at like 60-65, that'd be cool?

 

You are putting intense amounts of detail into that paint too. I'd say experiment with some simpler kaiju style sprays and save these detailed paints for customs and one offs.

 

glad the design is being received well so far
(that was a big concern...the other characters, i think, get better)

 

yeah, that is my ultimate idea...but i wanted to try out a super detailed few, since they sculpts will be more detailed than the norm

 

good ole fashined paint rubs haha.

 

Nice design and nice colors, but will they fly at $60? That depends on so many factors.

You should do a short run of 10-20 figures and sell them and see where it goes. You might also look into joining some shows by sending in your toys. As you build your brand, if the hype is right, this may make it.

 

hope i dont sound like a broken record with all the thanks....but its genuine


and yeah, the more info the better....i am looking to release creativity, thats my main goal

 

I make resin figures too, and always try to price equal to a viny of the same size. There are some resin dudes though, who can price much higher even 2x what you'd expect an equivalant vinyl to go for and sell easily. I know how labor intensive resin is though, and the effort put into that paint ap, and know $150 for your hardwork is justified for that figure. Unfortunately just unrealistic with the pricing of the competition out there.
What Grzlli is saying is spot on. try some simpler paint aps, to decrease your labor time. maybe even unpaints.
Looking forward to seeing the other figure you have ready.

 

I like it alot I'd buy one if the price is right. The 8 ball is throwing me off tho. I think another eye Gould be cooler. The paint is awesome but looks time consuming. Very nice indeed

 

Just to clarify (because "Fight Figure could mean 4"-6"), how tall is he? If that dude is 6" of solid resin, $150 might make a bit more sense.
Love the design, though, man.

 

he's 4.75" to the tip of the horn...the other figures will be a bit taller

 

I really like it. and like everyone else, Im not feeling the 8 ball. I think the 8 ball throws monster aspect of it off. I think if its 4.75 inches I personally would be more apt to purchase if price was more like $60 -$80. Great detail and paint job. I really like the sculpt
