Card Art Question

I'm getting ready to work on the card art for these figures and wanted to get some opinions on what style to use. The choices I'm considering are either the classic G.I. Joe style card art from the 80's, or a much more detailed Alex Ross style. I'm leaning more toward the Alex Ross style but the price is almost double of what it would cost for the classic Joe style.

Great stuff man, here's a question, need an extra writer?

Thanks! Sorry to say but aside from the toys I'm not involved with the comic book at all so I really can't answer your question. I'll be happy to pass it along though.

I think a GI Joe style card (complete with bios on the back) would be cool for these figures.....Do you have any mockups of either we could see?

That's the style I've decided to use and the cards will have some type of bios on the back. The card art is being worked on now so as soon as I have some mockups I'll be sure to post them here.

Wow, what a fun project to follow! I look forward to seeing the cards and then the finished product.

The painted prototypes and the tooling masters are on their way to China now and according to my factory contact production should be able to start immediately after the package is received.

That's great news!

Here's the latest update I got from the factory, a picture of the tooling sample for the Dax Northender figure. According to my factory contact everything is going well with production so hopefully the final product will be available fairly soon.

Cool stuff!

Thanks for the peek behind the scenes sir!

[thunderbolt]

Cool, thanks for the sneak peek. So far so good.

What does this cost if you don't mind me asking?

I'd rather not give an exact amount but it's very expensive to fund a project like this. The tooling alone was $15K and that's just a small portion of the total cost.
