Any interest in a repro Aquaman vs The Great White Shark set?

That is a pretty set

I'm ready for an update too!!

What happened to this project?

It Lives....It Lives. To paraphrase Scotty at the end of TWOK: It's dead already.

In honor of Shark Week (and my randomly re-piqued interest in this project) I am bumping this monster of a thread back to the main page, and inquiring if there has been any chance of new action w/ this project.

Progress?

What I would do, were I making a repro of the shark, is this... the shark is essentially a styrene shell I would have it tooled and produced as a model kit. Have all the parts on sprues and let the buyer assemble. There are some crazy short run model kits out there right now. The HUGE Aurora T-Rex is a run of 1000 if I am not mistaken. I guess the difference is that the molds exist for a lot of these, although I am pretty sure Mobius retooled the Monster Scenes stuff. But that is my 2 cents... approach a small model company, Monarch, Mobius etc.

If the "Jaws" movies taught us anything, we learned that no matter how much of a pain in the neck a mechanical shark can be, in the end it is worth the hassle.

Well said, well said!

Maybe the project was starting to smell kind of fishy?

Hook, line and sinker?

Sleeps with the fishes?

Sounds like it's pretty much dead in the water until further notice. That's too bad.

Currently this project is on hiatus until my friend can get back to it and figure out a way to make it to our liking. We have NOT given up yet though........I'm just not sure when he'll be able to return to it. Hopefully something will happen with it by the first of the year. I'll be sure to post an update just as soon as I know something. Thanks to everyone who is continuing interest in this project. I too would like to see it come to fruition one day.

So is anything going on with this?
