Use those super skills to add a third head in the middle, remove the NKE, add an LRG.

I'd buy several.

Eric, you should look into repro'ing these.

I thought about it, the size is the only think that would worry me, they are large. I'd have to charge around $50+.

If I can get at least 5 sales, id do it.

Yeah, those things are huge, and would take soooooo much rubber...
It would be neat, if we could cast it in some of that shrink resin, and then cast a mold of the smaller one. That would be a trip.

Actually... uuuugggh I can't remember exactly... but there's a chemical that you can mix with your silicone (one of the parts before mixing together) then when you pour your mold it shrinks the actual mold. I can check with my supplier since he's the one that told me about it in the first place. But yeah it's one of the chemicals I work with already and is pretty cheap at home depot kinda place.

would that work with a 2 piece mold or would i have to mold it in one piece~?

[imperfecz]

That's where I started questioning... but if it had to be one piece then you would be just cutting the figure outto create a 2 piece. But yeah I would really need to go back in and pick his brain about that. Been wanting to shrink something with that method... just haven't gotten around to it yet.

[poysntixels]

Anybody want to sell a pink, red or black one?

[Merovingian]

Still buying and trading for these if anyone has one.

Well, the first part of the mold would already be altered, by the time you went to do the second half... So that would have to be a one piece mold. That is why I would rather go after the shrink resin, to do that...
Not to mention, I think the shrinking silicone wars the dimensions of the figure.

Hah these are all awesome. And the original type ones at the bottom. Cool history. Might have to pick some of these up someday. Also remind me of Nerdone's Stereogons somehow.

Start time is just after noon tomorrow. They don't come up for sale often, thought you guys would want to know.

 I like this sculpt, so odd that it's a promo for Nike of all companies.

 

Looks like someone put a bunch of them (with tags) up on eBay about a few weeks ago with a $20 starting/$40 buyout and only one sold at starting price. Might not be the best time in the market for them right now if you've been holding onto these for a while but I hope you get some decent sales!

Yea, not in a hurry to get rid of them, Im asking 35$ a piece minimum off the bay.

 

They are well worth $20 especially with the tags... Wish I had seen those auctions
