Here is my First in a New Line of Gumball Battle Beasts.
Same Battle Beast size and articulation of the original, and comes with a rubber version of his weapon.

Lookin' good so far!

[BigSerow]

Looks wicked, thanks for the sneak peak.
Do they all come with series 3 rubs too? Cause that's rad

[organicbeets]

Nice work...looking really sweet...

[Beastformers]

Good job!
Are they as 'gummy' as the real gumballs?

Hope you'll only make the figs that are never produced as gumballs to prevent mistakes, but guess this is a discussion that has been active on this board already a couple of times. But looking at the actuall gumball prices this is really something to keep in mind and not start messing with.

Its color is great as are its arms so he's really comming close to the actuall gumball look!
Any other figs in mind or in progress or is it just the Cobra for now?

[Ericnilla]

yeah he is the same rubber i do all my customs so he is a keshi battle beast.

And the cobra is the first, i plan on making a couple different ones. Like you i love Hare Raising Rabbit, so he will most likely be the next (although i dont have one right now), and yeah obviously im not gonna make any that have been made already, but even if i did you could tell them apart in hand easily. i pour through the feet so there are no markings.

Really good work mate looks great. I also think staying clear of the real gum ball molds is the best idea. Jay

GREAT!

And a Rabbit would be totaly awesome, I'm sure that somebody on the board living in the US is willing to send you a Rabbit for a cool project like this.
If not PM me your address and I'll get you a Rabbit.

Only issue is that the real gummy's don't have markings on their feet either........

Maybe somekind of burnmark or stamp on the bottom of their feet could be an option than, so its also clear that you made them.
Could be a nice gimmick as well.

well is that case i definitely wont be making any existing gumball figs, dont wanna deal with any problems it may bring up. i was maybe thinking of it for people that want some but cant afford an original, but some new sculpts i believe will be better anyway.

if people wanna voice which they wanna see made i will take the more popular into consideration.

[WhiteLeo]

Very Nice Eric!!!! We will have to get together some time for some Custom LB Gummis.

[eightystoynut]

put me down for 1 cobra Eric please, GREAT JOB, and Shark is my choice for ericnilla custom gumball, just a thought. also I REALLY want a set of the original one's so G's suggestion about signing the bottom of the foot would be how we could tell the difference. if not a whole set I'd love the lion and carp?

[ironmask]

I hate Eric Nilla.

[SaltLakeToyJunkee]

Do you have a price in mind for these Eric?

[Ericnilla]

Price added above, $20 + Shipping

[FANtomCore]

very cool, so how did you figure out the color match? did it take alot of trial and error or you got it first try?

[lord]

Can I asked for Laser Gumball ? If so I would like a Sea Panic.

[gilgar]

Please put me down for a Cobra too! I want one to go with my custom clear Cobra

[Ericnilla]

This is my first casting, i just went for a White/Cream color. Just turned out nicely.

Im up for making some Gumball laser beasts. I only have a couple low enders so i would need to borrow one to cast. if i do a Laser though, i would like it to be a well rounded fan favorite. I dont wanna make one persons fav and not have anyone else buy any. unless you buy 10 off the bat.

im buying some repro rubs too so these will come with them.

[jkaris]

You ought to make a rub with your EN symbol in it.

[Ericnilla]

That would be awesome if it was possible.

[Ericnilla]

I've gotten a few people interested in some of the original Gumball sculpts. I'm thinking of doing a few, but not release them in the white/cream, they will have to be an alternative color to distinguish them from originals. Maybe a light blue~?

what do you guys think~? still a bad idea or should it work out ok as long as i stay away from white/cream~?

[jkaris]

I think you should do the cream. It will fit in better with the originals in people's collections. Maybe just mark your initials on the foot or engrave your logo onto the foot instead?

BTW, I'm game for some of the lasers.
