2010 MegoMeet Exclusive Custom Figure Announcement!

[jp1969]

What a tease!
I was born curious you know!

[JediJaida]

Aw c'mon! Post the clue! Please?

[Chris DVM]

Hey,
OK, this is not a clue as much as it is a dead giveaway without actually telling you the name. Any doubts should be erased with this. As for the original three clues, I will explain the last (the first two should be obvious once this clue is given) when I make the official announcement next week.
The final clue:



Chris DVM

[ScottA]

I believe I will be getting one of these. Yes, yes.

[B-Lister]

I still don't get the "NTF" thing.....someone wanna just spell it out for me?

[Toy Talk]

I too am lost on the NTF but I am so getting one of these. My money is yours...

[MegoSteve]

Hahahah, here I thought it was Mr. T.

[B-Lister]

How much is it gonna cost?

[JediJaida]

AHA! I was right!

I definitely want at least two of them. How much are they going for?

[JimCem99]

How can I get one of these without going to the meet? I won't be able to make it. And how much are these going to run?

[JediJaida]

Ditto. I can't make the meet because of work commitments.

But I really, REALLY want this figure!!!!

[megojim]

Sounds like you need to make few extra chris . . .can't wait to see them!

[JediJaida]

How many are being made? And how early do we need to call dibs?

If you're taking calls for dibs, I CALL DIBS ON ONE!

[Mego Milk]

YES! I'm gonna get one!

[Chris DVM]

Hey,
OK, the info on the figures:
1) There will be 40 figures made. Each one is hand painted, the hats will be removable and all painted and molded. The pants, shirt and shoes are removable, of course. The jacket is made of pleather and is being produced for me by Brian Leitner, who, if you do not know, is an absolute whiz when it comes to clothes and costumes. He did the Kromedome outfit last year - I am thrilled he works with me on this. Each figure will come with the above items, as well as a gun holster, a gun, a side satchel, a small golden Idol (from Raiders beginning) and a machete. The box is being produced by Mego73, an amazing box maker who always does my boxes - I tip my hat at his skill and abilities. The heads are a Medicom head shrunk down, done by MegoWGSH (Austin), one of the best oiut there.
2) 40 figures made. I keep one, 7 set aside for the people who have helped produce the figure. 1 for a special reason (see #3). So there will be 31 figures available for purchase.
3) One figure is very special. Usually I donate one to the raffle. However, as there is no raffle this year, one will go into the custom auction. This one, however, will be a figure done as Old Indy, with an eye patch, wire rim glasses and a special box.
4) In the past, I have set the price on the customs at $45. This year, due to the many parts and pieces, I am raising it to $50 (still hopefully a good deal for anyone who wants one). For those worrying that this is the norm, I already know what next years Exclusive figure will be, and it will probably only be $35 or $40 due to it's relative simplicity compared to what I have done in the past. (Slight tease on that one, but trust me, it will be a figure that will be very desirable to Many Many People!!).
5) The way it works is this - I sell the figures at the meet. Everyone there gets a chance to by one to start with. Once everyone who wants one gets theirs, then I allow anyone there to buy one more if there are some left over. If there are any left after that, I sell them to those who have PM'd me on a first come first serve basis. If you are not going to make it to the meet, PM me and I will put you on the list. I already have had one person PM me, so the list starts now.
