hello all, y'kno what?
i've been watching this develop with much amusement!
i *did* used to work as a modelmaker for Kenner Toys (now Hasbro)
in Cinci for a year and a half...
i made 'Jurassic Park', 'Aliens', 'Littlest Pet Shop', and 'Star Wars'
prototype figures mostly!
i'll just have to see what i can do. hrmmm....
(it's just their darned marketing department that makes me question
the whole feasibility of this endeavor...)
or, better yet, SCREW THEM! we'll do it ourselves!
to make these on a prototype basis would *not* be extremely difficult,
we'd just need access to some silicone rubber, Hexcell urethane,
clay for layup, and an air pressure tank. oh, and sculpting wax.
anyone have these things?
i know how to make the molds and urethane reproductions. i can
even make the deluxe kind of shoulder/hip fitted joints with o-rings...
(maybe Jack can have a James Bondish guitar that morphs into a Claymore!)
(just a thought)
feedback?
