Just for the record, I am not involved in this project beyond what I have stated..which was providing scans only. I'm not investing any of my money in this, or trying to sell it either.
Your mocking remarks are off target in that regard, as well as your contention of anyone "joking around" about this. Who's joking about anything?
This thread is for those with "interest" in a "repro" Aquaman Shark set. If you have none do not participate, or if you no longer have interest, move on. The solution for anyone not currently happy with the set, or any issue with it, is to stop commenting here or following the thread. Simple.
I'm not speaking for Kris, just myself, and it's the reason I added my thoughts early on. This thread has taken on a nasty taint because some people don't "like" something, and feel the need to take Kris to task about it.
No one that I've seen, and specifically Kris, has been trying to hard sell this. In fact just the opposite from what I've seen.
Again, for those with no interest in the project, or just want to make back-handed remarks, or attacks, just move on to another thread.
Regards,

Price point should have been researched BEFORE you even got this project started. Having been in pre-press printing I know that artwork is expensive to work up...but that should have been thought of before you even got started with the box art alone. I can't even fathom what was spent on the Shark's reproduction...again, you probably had been told what it would cost before you went ahead with it being dismantled. That being said you probably have/had a price in mind of how much you want to get for the figure. Just tell/post what you think is fair for the work that has been put into the project and be done with speculation of how much this is gonna cost. And DON'T be upset or DISAPPOINTED if a lot of people here don't go for it. If this was truly a "Labor of Love" that has been stated in the thread then there really shouldn't be any complaints on the part of the people involved in the reproduction of this figure.
Here's what should be done with this thread IMHO...take all the so called "progress updates" and put them in the Custom WIP section in Customs. Cause that's all this project really is when you really get down to it. Never understood why it was in Mego Buzz to begin with. Everything else in this thread should be deleted. It's wasted space and time on the Museum for close to 8 MONTHS."When not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity".

I'm new here and maybe I'm out of line by saying this, but it seems many on here are jumping at an opportunity to poor mouth this project. I happen to be interested in this project and nothing that has been said changes that. From my standpoint, the price discussed earlier in the thread seems reasonable, considering the time and effort put into it. And anyone that disputes the quality of the project needs to take a look at the photos posted earlier in the thread. I, like anyone want the price to be as low as possible, but anyone expecting a bargain basement price is just not being realistic.Comment

it means - due to the attitude displayed by reeves (about the price discussion) he has probably alienated a majority of his target customer base at this forum.
Instead of him getting all upset, posting that insulting, long winded story how families need fed, need lucrative profit, etc...he could have instead explained thoughts on the tiered shark sets...
Instead of getting a bunch of us ticked off, he could have came in to the thread...went, "whoa folks...lets think of it like this - $XXX for a boxed shark...$XXX for a loose shark, etc.."
No. What he did was throw that tiered system right out the window and got ticked off and started writing.
so yes.
The shark is dead.Comment

dude are you seriously talking about trolling? come on man, I'll let this go as well....like I said before, it's his piece and he can list it at w/e price he wants...just don't ask people to discuss a price and then get mad when they ask questions...and I'm pretty sure he doesn't need a forum bodyguard, just let it be man"Time to nut up or shut up"-Tallahassee
