It'd have been smart to have a way to get your personalized head from the game on the Shepard figure. I'd have to buy at least two. Note: I'm offering you money.
I think those would be exorbitantly expensive no?
We're already paying 20+ dollars for a hunk of plasic and paint. Only the head would be diferent and that could be acomplished with a mold done on the spot with a CAD and kept for repeat orders then paint by numbers. Even if they weanted to capture neck thickness thats pretty doable as that's only an extra part to glue in.
The problem with that is that the molds are the most expensive part of the figure making process. And to make different molds for each different figure's head (so it'd look like your customized character) would be prohibitively expensive on a ridiculous level. Literally, you'd have to spend like $20,000 per figure (realistically more) for this to happen.
Sorry, guys, but some requests are outside the realm of reality, and this is one of them.
really then how can i get a CUSTOM figure for only Price: $129.95 USD for a WoW toon, i'm sorry but you have no idea what your talking about. for one most stuff is done in 3d on a computer and then molded like that so it's very easy to make custom figures.
The molding process is still expensive. People who do customs mold and sculpt, and paint figures themselves. A custom is different from a professionally made figure molded, sculpted, and painted to look exactly like your Shepard.
I know what I'm talking about. I'm not a toy company exec or anything, but I've collected figures since I was a kid, and I know whats involved in the process. 3D modeling is just a modeling process using computers, which then laser etch the mold into a piece of metal. This is the expensive part of the process.
Why am I even still arguing this?
Can you post a link to this custom WoW figure you're speaking of? I'd like to look into it to figure out how they can afford to charge only $130 for a custom figure. You are saying you can make this figure appear however you like? How do they do this? Again, molding (the metal MOLD that the plastic is poured into to shape the pieces of said figures) is an expensive process, and would require a ridiculously large amount of molds to fill everyone's orders. As I said, it would be prohibitively expensive for a company to do so.
I have a feeling you're just talking about a custom MODDED figure, meaning an existing WoW figure which is re-sculpted or re-painted or whatever by an amateur. These sell all the time on Ebay, but are not at all what I have been talking about. In the end, I think its you who has no idea what they're talking about.
