    It'd be too small unfortunately.

    I actually really like the IDW head on that mold. But you know, I am working on something similar to that G1 design, so you may be able to do a slight mod for that when I release it.

    Totally. That was one of the molds I really wanted to see the Oracle design on. Yes, please post a pic when you do the mod.

    lol....no comment

    Forthcoming but no eta yet. I'm working on several other projects right now, including the character that "could" be made to look like G1 Blurr with a little modification or should I say, a small addition. I'm trying to flesh out my portfolio and build the Viacon universe of characters. Its a bit time consuming due to test prints and adjustments of the sort. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and a lot of my characters need to look just right. But stay tuned.

    its called work ethic and being passionate about what you do. those who take pride in their work arent easily forgotten and noted for it.
    gonna beat a dead horse, greenlight head : P or, at the very least, a gears looking head for PRiD ratchet or Generations Kup?

    I agree, best Arcee ever!!

    You're on a role man. You gotta make all the girls!! Elita-1, Firestar, Greenlight, Moonracer, Ariel, Minerva etc. You can't go wrong. BTW loved your Chromia too. I'll be ordering both.

    i love this Arcee head. It works great with the RID figure. Do you think you will be making more heads? Something like a Orion Pax head for the Asia Swerve figure.

    We'll see. The head I was talk about "can" look like that character, but it won't be him. But the animated Blurr body has got me thinking...

    Yeah, XavierCal is always on the ball. I'm glad someone with his skills enjoy my work. He makes me look good. lol. But seriously, he is awesome. He told me he had picked up the Oracle head and was going to doing this. The guy works lightning fast!! But, check out the pre-photo op pic he sent me.

    Now that's what I'm talking about. This is what a fembot should look like. You definitely should have brought her to the Long Beach meet up yesterday. Again I honestly don't know why you like the FE version more-this is hands down the better mold. And that Frosted Ultra Detail material is definitely the way to go, I can't see any grain or print lines from the pics, it picks up so much of my design. I can't wait to see her done. And since you are going to do another Arcee with Oracle version 2, you have to try a metallic pink. Don't worry about this one going to waste, her pink color scheme is perfect for another femacon I'm working on.

    BTW, you're going to eat your words about the Exosuit comment. lol.

    I do have the file, but it has to go through a test print first.

    Honestly, me too. And I can't wait to see your version of her and possibly the other Femacons-that will be coming along eventually.


    Hey guys,

    I apologize for the delay. I have been getting a lot of inquiries on Oracle. The print above was the majority of the Oracle prints that "did not" have an issue. It turn out that since Shapeways outsources to multiple rapid prototyping houses, "one" in particular, could not print the "Oracle Head only for RID RC" file. Since I have no control over what print house gets the Oracle files, I had to do the right thing and remove all the "Oracle files." I have since adjusted the file and have even improved on a couple of things ie. more defined lips for easier paint application, filled in the gap between the top of her brow and her crest (the cause of the print issue) and increased the size of the ball joint to give her a tighter fit on the toy.

    However since I "just" submitted the file for a test print over the weekend, along with three other projects. it'll probably be another two weeks. Again I do apologize for the delay, but I'm confident you will enjoy the other models/characters that I've submitted final test prints for. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you. -Tecrom
