If anyone has any, can you please posts detailed pics of it. I really like the figure and theme but paint seems rushed. $65 seems way too pricey.

I've followed him on IG for a while, but he doesn't post that many pics of his figures compared to other stuff he posts pics of. I've actually never spoken to anyone who has any of his figures. He tags the pics of his figures with the 'fine art' hashtag, which could explain why he's asking so much. I've never seen his pricing, but if he's asking $65 for a painted resin mini, then yes, that seems way too much to me.

The mini mutants are really cool. Probably really pricey as well.

Cool sculpt, but I wish they had singles. Not sure I want 6 of the same fig.

Going by his pricing, Im sure you only get one.  Comes out to $45 total shipped in the states. I wonder how many he has sold.

I think $35 bucks for a 3 inch hand cast figure with a 3 1/2 inch accessory isn't bad at all. Adding $30 bucks for a paint job isn't bad if you like the paint work.

 

I think people seeing this stuff from a mini-figure background can be a little surprised by the price but people coming from the resin/vinyl toy world probably see it as a good deal. It just all depends on how you look at it. If someone is making a small run of any toy then the cost of clay and silicone and resin factors in and makes a pretty big difference. If it's a larger run those costs can kind of be negated.

I am new to this whole custom figurine game with only a handful of figures sold. I'm not 100% sure on my pricing still. So I look to compare. I stumbled upon these and really like them but I like to measure value not only by the concept but the discipline and execution. But hey, art has no rule book for pricing.

Way over priced to me, and I believe these have been for sale for a long time. Sculpts are neat, but not amazing, same goes for the paint apps.

Of course anyone can make their own figures and sell for whatever. I just think stuff like this hurts the hobby.

I just don't see it. Two pieces both over 3 inches tall for $35 bucks total isn't that bad. If they were sold separately that would be like $17.50 each which is more or less what most people charge for stuff that's the same size or smaller.

Isn't it $35 or $40 for one figure?

It's $35 bucks for one 3 inch figure and one 3.5 inch monster surfboard thing included.

So that's £26.53 for a 3 inch figure plus a surfboard - definitely more than I'd be comfortable paying when I consider the awesome custom pieces I've bought from people for nowhere near that price, especially with a simple paint appliction.
