    Bummer! I have little to no patience and now you're making me wait longer!!:drool: 
    I know the end product will be well worth it, but I'm one of those guys that can't even wait for normal release. I always end up ebaying figures from china a couple weeks before they come out.:rolleyes: 
    Thanks for the update!

    Back in the states :) 

    heres the initial pressure cast part test. he did the color match to the wrong sample i supplied, but it is a perfect match, so waiting on the match to the sample to the right.

    well theyre being made one at a time with a pressure made mold, so the guy is doing them when he can, hopfully it wont be TOO much longer, as its already been way longer than i thought the project would take. The only paint ill need to do on them is the gray and silver once i get them in.

    nothing yet, theyre being cast slowly, as theres just a mold of one piece and ive got him making about 15 sets, so its just grudge work at this moment.

    trust me guys, when i have ANY bit of info, it will be here right away. As I said, hes doing them one at a time since he has the one pressure cast mold, and hes doing it for me as a favor so I didnt have to charge extra, so its in his free time. Ill pester him again for an update.
