Freaked Out
I always loved David Boreanaz work on Buffy/Angel, and I like even more him as Booth on Bones. And Emily Deschanel as Bones makes a perfect partner to him, remembering the good old times of Mulder and Scully. So, I thought that would be a good idea to take a shot and see if there is other people like me around who loves this duo.
I've spoken to Chris Howes, a AMAZING sculptor, and, if made, these heads will come after he gets through most of the current active commissions.
As usual we need at least ten people on board for this to happen.
Head Details:
Booth
The head should be made for the Hot Toys body. It will be a David Boreanaz as Booth, from Bones, version. While Chris uses as many reference photos as he can get to base his sculpts on, the photos above and at the bottom are the two I'll ask him to use as his primary guide (maybe not for the hair). I'm open to discuss his looks later (inputs are welcome), but I think a lighter, not to serious expression fits better with the character. Not too smiling, just a bit. But a more neutral expression works too, if requested by the majority.
If there is enough interest, Chris told me that he could think about making a Angel version too, later. But starts with Booth (that can pass as Angel too, since is the same actor and the characters visuals aren't that different).
Bones:
The heads should be molded to fit the Cy Girl style neckpost (i.e. no neck) as the vast majority of female action figures use this type of neck (Cy Girl, BBi Perfect Body, Aoshima, Soldier Story, Triad, etc). Please be aware that the conical style of the Cy Girl headpost was originally intended to be used for vinyl heads, and may require an adhesive such as Blue-tack to help keep the head on your figure.
Her expression, like Booth's, will be also lighter, not too serious. Unless anybody prefer another expression. Based on the photo above (mostly) too.
Prices:
$35.00 plus shipping per head for 10 people. If we get 15 to commit, the price drops to $20.00 for his standard precasting discount.
It returns to $35.00 after casting begins. To get the presale discount, payment must be sent before actual casting begins. Chris will announce when the presale period is closed.
Shipping Cost of $5.00 within the USA. $7.00 international.
Painting:
Like on Howes' other projects, Kuato will offer a discounted price of only $30.00 plus shipping per head for the FIRST 10 paint orders. After the first 10 orders, his regular price of $45.00 plus shipping per head comes back into effect. I'll keep a list of in what order people ordered a paint job so if people drop out the list will move up and whoever was next in line in the full price zone will be bumped up to the Special Discount Zone.
If you buy a painted version, you don't have to pay twice for shipping. Chris will send them in a large batch to Kuato for painting, and you need only pay Kuato for his paint work and final shipping to you.
Payment:
Paypal is the preferred payment method, but both Chris Howes and Kuato are willing to accept payment via Money Order if you do not use Paypal.
Further payment details will be put up when Chris and Kuato say so.
How to get on board:
Please send me a PM or post a reply (PM is preferred) that indicates how many, if painted and then I’ll add you to the list below.
