yeah, it's nothing new, and it's weird how people on OT forum are not really questioning it.
like there could be an option that says 'pay 1500$ to have your figure tooled up and get 300 flesh versions of it' but here it would be made too easy for everybody and i can see the stop sign that says 'sorry, George Gaspar sculpts only'
Yeah I've gotten a bit of a bad taste in my mouth with some things...I still collect the figures but I sorta stopped myself before going too far with getting different colored OMFG (I still have a San Diego Comic Con set I want to sell or trade off)...I DID collect all the beets so far but I may sell them too, I really like them but I don't like the smell, lol. It stinks like a Skunk smoking pot survived a nuclear explosion 
. I have 20 beets I'm looking to sell now though, I'm not normally a colorway collector.
As far as I know there are other artists sculpting OMFG...or did that change now? Or does George always cast them in wax and then make alterations? THAT would drive me nuts and is actually one of my main apprehensions of doing a submission. I'm territorial about my work unless it's in a studio or something...for an indie toy thing I'd not want my art messed with, it's such a nice breath of fresh air with indie...having full artistic freedom. Having someone else refine my work for something like this would ruin the magic for me.
Originally my Big Rad Wolf minifigure was going to be a OMFG submission! I got impatient though wondering when series 5 would come along, and decided I could probably make my own series.... so I've gone completely indie on my sculpts, and I'm glad I have! This is much more fun. I'll most likely do a Kickstarter (I have 17 more sculpt ideas written out to keep figures coming for a while 
). This would be more simple than OMFG too since I'm creating and sculpting all my own stuff...I'm not using other people's designs or anything. If I get any artistic help I may see if my concept artist friend can do a promo-poster in his own style which would be AWESOME ...I'd ask him how much and include the price to pay him in the kickstarter, and have it be Kickstarter ONLY so I wasn't making money off his stuff.
As far as I know people who have made OMFG characters get a free pack of each colorway along with 200 AP casts of their figure. Since people buy the APs, if they sold each for $5 that would be a grand right? (I suck at mathszzz)....so in a sense they ARE being compensated, but not as much as George since they get no residuals ...if I understand it all correctly.
I will grab a set of Series 3, probably in flesh tone or whoever has em' in blue since I don't have any pale blue OMFG yet. Loving the metallic card with those gold figures though, nice rendition of the characters !
P.S. Why does everyone hate Pugnacious and pun named characters? 
.....I have a handful of pun related ideas, and Big Rad Wolf is a pun in a sense...I hope people don't hate my figures too! Personally I really like Pugnacious.
