    That is the perfect size for my collection!

    I'd still be happy with individual parts option but if it is cheaper for the whole build I'm game!

    Nonnef is a guy on the boards who is basically building injection molding factory and working with some other Shapeways people here to make plastic injected figures.

    This guy is amazing and I am super tempted!

    In other words, buy the Shapeways model now before it gets taken down like Javaco's Whirl.

    But seriously, congratulations, Zoso!

    Thanks! But in all honesty, this guy was a lot to print. The test was about $90 and I really don't think many folks would have went for him at that price so he was never actually live on Shapeways. But now he will be $50 full assembled and plastic, everybody wins!

    What about just the head and front chest for some bashing materials? Or at least just the head?

    Regardless, $39 for early grab is pretty decent, it save me time and it's not like I don't have a ton of other bashes to finish.

    I think there is a set out there that is just a head and chest, I can't remember where I found it tho.

    Thanks!

    My only critique is that I think his shoulder pads could be a little bit more close to his torso, this is spot on! Depending on how good the final product will get in terms of quality I'll probably purchase one.

    I wouldn't hold your breath for the GCI figure. They're reasonably reliable as a retailer but entirely awful when it comes to original projects. I was lied to repeatedly about the status of my order for the Bruticus upgrades and ended up cancelling my orders for the upgrades and Gulper. I would avoid their original products like the plague.

    Is it possible that the set could be put back up on Shapeways so it's available in some form?

    Hi all, I wanted to let you know that since things with GCI seems to have fallen apart (have not heard anything in months myself) I am in the process of getting Guzzle back onto either shapeways or trying to figure out other means to get this guy to the masses. Sorry for the delays, I am just as frustrated as you all are that things have not worked out. I will keep you all posted as the progress continues.

    Also, I wanted to tease a project that I am working on. I will make a dedicated thread once I make some additional progress but here is a G1 style legends Warpath I'm working on.

    Thanks and stay tuned!
