Any chance of some repro webbed hands for Aquaman? LOL

Without original webbed hands to mold off of.....no.....at least not if it can truly be called a "repro". Plus only one specimen is known to exist with the webbed hands so unless the owner wants the hands molded directly off the only one known to exist I'd say there's a better chance of winning the lottery 3 times in a single year. Besides......they're not really necessary as Aquaman was produced with his famous Mego green mittens and I don't think the webbed hands will fit inside them.

We're looking to produce a static model as the first release and then go from there if anyone is wanting a working model.Last edited by reevefan78; Feb 5, '11, 1:52 AM.Comment

No worries my friend......I can assure you that the resulting repro shark will not be a waste of anyone's time. We are working as quickly as we can so please be patient with us in the meantime. I will be updating this thread as often as I can so that everyone will be made fully aware of the progress we make on it. More to follow.....please stay tuned and thanks in advance for your patience and support of our efforts.

Thanks Meule for the support. I've been involved with enough projects (my own included) to know that you just can't rush someone else when you're depending on them to produce a superior product for you. Here is an email message I received from the mold maker this morning:
"Running a little behind due to the weather here. Been trying to primer/paint sharks between snowstorms. Still trying my best to be able to start Aquashark on schedule."
The mold maker is working on finishing up a limited edition project that was years in the making......another shark project and as a proud owner of one of them I can tell you with absolute certainty that the mold maker is a perfectionist and the "Aquashark" will be absolutely perfect! I chose him carefully and wisely for this project because he's a perfectionist. Stay tuned and please be patient.
More to follow shortly.

Thank you for your patience and support. Believe me when I say that no one could be more anxious about this project than I am. I've been wanting to do this for years but this is well beyond my level of expertise so I am leaving it in the more than ample hands of the mold maker whom I befriended a year or so ago.
I can assure everyone that once all is said and done......no one will be disappointed in the final results. My friend and I are VERY picky. Please continue to be patient as "all good things come to those who wait".

I am but some our members are waiting for his mold maker.
Sorry about that, Kris.Woh....hold on there Great White hunter....have you ever tried taking on a project like this before? If so then you'll know there is much to consider before rushing in with both hands and feet. This one took some study to figure out how best to approach the mold making to produce the best results without ruining my original. I don't think anyone else would possibly sacrifice their personal Mego shark for a project like this.....at least no one has before me anyway. My friend wants to make sure that he does not damage my original in any way shape or form and in fact he is going to restore it to minty condition.
Four months is not a long time especially given the fact that there were 3 major holidays in the interim - Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. I am not the mold maker here....only over seeing the project like an art director. I am waiting on the mold maker to get a break in the steady stream of projects that preceded this one that keeps him in his studio 10-12 hours a day, seven days a week with little to no family time. Please be patient. We are working as quickly as we can.
I've been waiting on Hot Toys to release their Christopher Reeve 1/6 Superman figure since it was announced in August 2010 (although I had heard about it months before the official announcement). It seemed to take Mattel forever (well over a year) to finally release their Christopher Reeve Superman 12" figure and these are big companies. We are just a two man operation. We are not in the business of rushing a project only to produce an inferior product.
If we are going to do this we will do it right or not at all. I know how impatient folks can become waiting on projects like this......I've experienced it first hand and have watched friends being "burned at the stake" over stuff like this. I do not wish to become another victim of circumstance and more importantly I won't let criticism turn my friend off to producing this product. I do not want to stop updates for all those who are willing to be patient for someone who wants this yesterday but I will say please don't post if you don't have something constructive to add......it only turns things ugly and it's unnecessary. If you read one of my recent posts you'll see where it says the mold maker is scheduled for beginning this project during the second to third week in February.
In closing I want to add that we are not responsible for what you do with your time......if you feel this is a waste then we won't be hurt if you chose not to follow this thread any further. Like the old adage goes, "you can't please all of the people all of the time".
