    So I've finished up production on a lot of the pieces for Trivia, but several of the joint pieces were coming out wonky and lose. I've tried what I can to get it to work, but I'm not happy with the result and don't want to release a figure with weak joints.
    In the middle of redesigning the affected pieces, but I won't be able to start shipping this month like I had hoped.

    These are about the injection molded pieces from NonnefProductions.

    Alas, I'm sorry to hear that. I know how high your standards are and I know that the end result will be really awesome. Doesn't make the wait any easier to bear.

    You have me full support!

    Any idea when Trivia will be ready for shipping? The shipping address I have set is my college address, but I won't be there anymore in a month, and I don't want to wait until August to get him if he's shipped there.

    Have to completely redesign a lot of the pieces and mill out whole new molds. I'll post up once production of the final pieces has started and you can let me know which address you'd prefer he be shipped.

    Hey Fakebusker & Nonnef,

    I would be interested in buying shapeways replacement "innards" for the ratchet joints inside of CW Motormaster's pelvis (the joints that move his legs forwards and backwards). Mine is really loose, and in trying to tighten it, I think I've damaged the plastic somewhat.

    I know this is a very specific request, but I thought it might be something others would be interested in as well. So I thought I'd put that out there. Any chance that this is something you would do?

    In any case, thanks for all you do for the fandom. :)

    If the gears are the same then the ones I have for his side hips would work. Check the store.
    Otherwise I'll be doing something to fix the loseness, as mine are as well.

    How's the process for creating the molds coming along?

    Slow but steady. Fakebusker does a very good job at making sure his designs are not production ready. ;)
