Because I'm kinda new here, I'd like to get some advice from some of the senior members here regarding the pricing of custom heads;
I'm sure as most of you know, I became a member in here earlier this month (after being a member years ago and lurking since then when I could) and one of the things I'd like to try and contribute, is to finally get around to molding and casting the 50 or so custom heads I've sculpted throughout the years, and make them available to everyone in the forum.
The first two, being the Superman and Batman, respectively were very well received and I got a TON of PM's asking about the price, etc. I mentioned in an earlier thread, that the prices of these heads would range from 15-25 dollars, depending on the size, amount of silicone needed to make proper molds and the difficulty of casting the pieces. I'd say about 2/3rds of you who made inquiries, actually ordered the heads, which is still awesome, but simply because my presence here is much more about making money, in an effort to make these heads more available to everyone, I'd just like to know why some didn't order them.
Several of you made comments about the absence of a neck plug. (Thank You
) That has since been corrected. I have already re-molded supes with a neck plug, and plan on doing the same to Bats, next week. All pieces I will be offering from this point, WILL have a neck plug.
The only other thing I can think of, is that perhaps some of you felt they were a bit too expensive. I personally don't think what I'm asking for them is out of line, especially given my background in both the film and toy industries, but I do want some input and feedback. I'm also trying to give away DVD's, decals, promo cards, and other goodies with as many orders as possible, simply as a pay it forward kind of thing, because i really do get so much out of this forum. It also helps promote my films, etc... Like I said, the purpose of this for me, is to share my work and something I really enjoy, with all of you. Making some pocket money isn't that bad either, if there's anything some of the more senior or active members can share about how to make my work more "accessible", by all means, let me know.
Thanks!
