Resin Pimps update 12/09/2007

If someone could PLEASE translate this for me, so that all the French collectors can understand it ... I would greatly appreciate it.

*********************************************

Hey guys,

Just a quick note to let everyone know, what's happening.

As most of you know, our house was broken into last week, we had over $7,000.00 in electronics stolen and our entire house was ransacked AGAIN ... check out the picture, this was just one of our rooms, but they were pretty much all in the same condition.



It's taken us over a week to get everything cleaned up, figure out what was taken and file all the proper paperwork with the insurance companies, and have our alarm system supped up. We now have sensors on every window and motion detectors in every room and even got a DOG! But we finally got everything done, so it's back to work.

That being out of the way, I'll be dedicating the entire day today, to catching up on shipping wayward kits. I know I still owe a couple of Isis, Talisman, Photons and Wonder Woman kits to various collectors. The Wonder Woman and Photon kits didn't arrive as quickly as I hoped, I checked the tracking, they are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday of this week, I will pack and ship them as soon as they arrive. Isis and Talisman kits are in house, and will shipping today.

If you haven't gotten your kits, and would just like to confirm, PLEASE CONTACT ME!!!

As a matter of fact, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND contacting me anyway, as I don't trust myself right now to have not missed anyone, especially after the mess of paperwork that was scattered throughout my house because of the robbery.

Even then, I want to make sure that everyone knows, even on good days, I'M NOT PERFECT ... I MAKE MISTAKES ... FREQUENTLY!! But, as anyone that knows me will tell you, I gladly admit and correct my mistakes, when given a chance to. (The parties that I'm specifically addressing with this will know who they are, and the ones that don't ... it's just good information to know. )



So with that ... here's what I have in stock right now, what's coming up .. and what's going down.

**********************************************

KITS CURRENTLY IN HOUSE:

MON-EL:

I still have some left over Mon-El kits in house for anyone that wants one.

Price on Mon-El is $60.00 plus shipping and Paypal.

Remember Mon-El is the first in a series of kits featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes ... Wildfire and Dawnstar are the next 2 Legion members to be done. Wildfire is finished and at the caster and Dawnstar is in the final stages of being completed.

We're also thinking of making ALL the Legion pieces available as both BUST AND FULL SIZE PIECES ... please let me know what you think ... should we do this?

We're issuing the Legion kits waves of 3 ... alternating with 2 boys, 1 girl in one wave, and 2 girls and 1 boy in the other.

Wave 1:

Mon-El - Boy
Wildfire - Boy
Dawnstar - Girl

SO ... the next 3 Legion kits will feature ...

Karate Kid - boy

and, since (honestly) we can't make up our minds which one of the lovely Legion ladies to make, we've narrowed the choices down to 3 and are going to put it up to a vote from the fans on Garage kits, Statueforum, The Clubhouse, Universe Marvel, and Marvel Collections and Customs.

The contenders for wave 3 girls will be

Dream Girl
Phantom Girl
Princess Projectra

the 2 highest vote getters will be issued in wave 2 .. the 3rd place winner will be issued in wave 4.

Wave 3 of the Legion kits will feature the 3 founding members ... Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad.

***********************************************

MARVEL GIRL & BEAST:

I still have in stock Marvel Girl and Beast castings for anyone that hasn't gotten a casting.

Price on Marvel Girl is $55.00 plus shipping and Paypal.

Price on Beast is $60.00 plus shipping and Paypal.

***********************************************

TALISMAN:

I have 3 Talisman kits in stock and if my calculations are correct, 2 of them have been paid for already, that means I have 1 left. I believe the molds on Talisman are pretty much shot, and she will need to be remolded before anymore castings are made, so this might be your last opportunity to get your hands on this kit for some time.

Price on Talisman is $55.00 plus shipping and Paypal.

************************************************

ISIS:

I still have a few castings of Isis left for that might want one.

Price on Isis is $55.00 for the Mini Bust & $100.00 for the Full Size (I only have 1 Full Size left in stock) plus shipping and Paypal.

*************************************************

KITS IN CASTING AND SHIPPING TO ME SOON:

JOHNNY STORM:

Johnny Storm kits will be shipping to me early next week. I was forced to ask the caster not to ship the first batch of completed kits to me because my house was a complete disaster (because of the robbery) and the last thing that I needed was more stuff coming in, when I didn't know what I had to begin with.

That means that the complete order of JS kits will be shipped to me at once and will be shipping out at once as well. So anyone that hasn't paid for your kits and want them in time for Christmas, now is the time.

Pricing on Johnny is $55.00 plus shipping and Paypal.

PHOTON:

More Photon Kits will be arriving to me early next week, anyone that wants one, please contact me.

Pricing on Photon is $60.00 plus shipping & Paypal.

RAVEN, STEEL & WILDFIRE:

Raven, Steel and Wildfire have been cleaned and molded, but casting will not begin on these pieces until the end of December or early January.

**************************************************

Currently still being sculpted, in line for molding and coming up soon.

STILL BEING SCULPTED:

SASQUATCH - the bust is complete, the legs for the Full Size are being done.

BIG BARDA - I haven't forgotten about Barda, she is still in the works, but the armor is proving to be more complex and complicated to sculpt than we thought, and as everyone knows, I'm a stickler for perfection.

GREEN LANTERN (HAL JORDAN): Sculpting on Hal (the first in the GL series) is complete, (RICK did an INCREDIBLE job on Hal! Look for more kits from this terrific talent coming soon! Namely Guy Gardner) and he is on the way to the caster as we speak.

KILOWOG: Keith is doing UNBELIEVABLE job on Kilowog ... I can't wait for this be finished, and I've already confirmed that he wants to do more pieces for us ... so any idea of pieces that you'd like to see from Keith, please send me your idea's ... personally I'm thinking HAWKMAN and HAWKGIRL!!!

***************************************************

Okay, my brain is full and this update has gone on forever already, so I'll leave it here for now.

As usual, any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me!
