Let me hold onto one of those Gumball Carps for $20+Shipping !
Thanks

[Zion808]

Hey that carp looks familiar... it came out great... Put me down...

[ez8o5]

awesome carp! i'm in

[Ericnilla]

Once I make a few tomorrow and know the Mold will hold up, I will start a list. Hopefully tomorrow night we can start one and I will begin accepting payments.

As you might have seen in another post I was lucky to receive your Cobra today, and as expected you did a great job on him!
Due to some trades I don't have the real deal anymore (at the moment) so I can't do the side by side in person but at first sight he looks just a little less flexible to me but for the rest he's awesome.

The detail is just great and it looks like the Carp is going the same way.

BUT where can I find the Ericnilla stamp on it?

The next Gumballs i do i will add a little sculpey to their back somewhere and add my initials and mark it as a custom. This shouldnt hurt the original i am molding, especially on the LB's.

You know my position in this and I don't mind it to be missing in the Cobra or other serie 2-3 figs you expect to produce but with the upcomming Carp................

[Ericnilla]

The cobra was already made so everyone after starting with the Carp will have a EN on their back.

Perfect!


Looks like I'm annoying someone with my messages!? --> -1
The EN stamp is something that has been discussed within this topic before and I believe we had agreed on it? If its about something else let me know.

UPDATE: oh I can click on the reputation thingy's LOL

The customs are matte in color not glossy like the originals.
You can see where they have been molded and cut.
You can see the custom cast production from the bottom of the feet.

I just think people are worrying to much over them being faked as reproductions.

Look at transformers, every G1 is being reproduced and koed.
It does not affect the originals value.

Someone just purchased a original Gumball Carp for $450 just this week.

I am so very excited to be able to put together a set without the unnecessary price tag.

Sorry about the negative I just got hasty.

I knew it was you!!!!!

I can see it you can see it and I believe most boardmembers here will know the difference as well but I just want to protect future collectors or people who don't know it from being ripped off buying a EN gummy as being a real one.
So its better to prevent these things than to get people back here complaining about fake gumballs being sold. Within 3 years nobody will know where these EN gummy's went and they might end up in the wrong hands someday so I think its also our duty to prevent it for the sake of BB.

There was another Gumball fig out there for $450 which suddenly dissapeared, I believe it was Pirate Lion, wonder where that one went

I'll forgive you on the negative guess I'll survive, at least now I finally learned that I can click on them, thanks! Should I leave you a +1 for that

I will buy every sculpt Eric chooses to produce.
But I really want the complete original 12 produced.

I was angry when we had member fight against their production.

I would purchase all 76 in Eric's Gumball form.


Here are a few that I feel Should be produced at the very least outside the original 12.


Humongous Hippo
Major Moose
Delta Chameleon
Sabre Sword Tiger

Black Panther
Musky Ox
Crooked Crow
Pugnacious Penguin

Anyone else have certain sculpts they want ?

Sawtooth Shark.

[Ericnilla]

Snake then Hare next... then Shark and Penguin, but need them first. then maybe Pirate Lion and Gator. All i know is i will keep making them if there are people wanting them.

[eightystoynut]

just outta curiosity how big "EN" are you talking about? cause honestly the REAL gumballs have 3 circles on there back from the mold I'm guessing and the cobra had no circles, plus the real one's have a shine to them.

[Ericnilla]

its across the back. about 1/2" tall

[NamaNiku]

Mad Skills Eric.

[b00sted]

Could do engraved one in the square where the rubs go then can be covered up with a repo rub so don't got a 1/2in EN on the back.

[ironmask]

I think the point is that there is a clear indicator that it is a repro, and not a counterfeit. Putting it on the back, seems like the best place to put a marking to ensure that the original lineage is protected, which seems to be a large (and fair) concern.

[b00sted]

but on its purdy back? lol hot iron brand it on the bottom of the feet?

it will be all the fun of cattle prodding without the burning flesh smell

[Ericnilla]

It's in the molding already, I don't engrave it into the figures.

And I was kidding, its tiny, about 1/16" - 1/8" tall.

[eightystoynut]

Can you sell me the first one you poured for more money?

[Venom]

Me too..

[Ericnilla]

Of course

[Onyxiaphil]

Put me down for a carp, please =)

[koppenschevelle]

Someone mentioned Delta Chameleon. I have to second that. I would love to see a Delta Chameleon Gumball! Easily my favorite. Here are the others on my wishlist:

Triple Threat Snake (Already being made/considered)
Sawtooth Shark
Grusome Gator
Sledgehammer Elephant
Grizzly Bear
Pew Trid Skunk
Leapin' Lizard
Tangolin Pangolin

and if you are considering doing Laser Beasts:
Skull Grotess
Puzzlecolor
