ok these dudes just walked in the door. all blank. I thought they where going to be painted.



so...my question is...what to do.

wtf the poll wont add option 3:

PAINT THEM ALL WEIRD

as much as i like unpainted clear purple vinyl,
this sculpt seems to need some paint to really work, imo.

WEIRD! ( i actually wan't planning on getting one (as i don't really collect the cats)... but if they come out gnarly i might change my mind). but yeah.. they don't look right w/o paint

+1 for weird paint

maybe do something like this guy...

I say paint MOST, leave a few unpainted. These can't be seen in the box right? Always fun to have short packs. Anyway, since I'm not going to the con and will most likely miss them (unless some one is totally cool ) I say painted no matter what. How weird though? Like individually different? I say make the coin crazy no matter what!

My vote is for weird. How about just painting the face, collar and plate he's holding? Kinda like he's disappering.

I say do jour mayic mang. Option 3 !

theres no way I could make em look factory, since I cant make latex spray masks.

so I guess i will just paint them weird. no idea if I can get them done in tme. so thats a major blow.



*sigh*

what does the factory say about the issue? can you get it straightened out and just sell them at a later time?

can i stop by and paint a few just for the hell of it?

Nice to see you had a plan in mind for these when deciding that this would be your next project.

it would cost another 1000 bucks to ship em all back to Japan and then back here again.

plus whatever they charge for the work.

not really feasible unless I raise the price to like something insane etc.

the 'plan' was they where suppossed to arrive fully painted from the factory.

the showed up blank. so wtf dude.

The factory should def compensate you in some way for their mistake.

I can uderstand your surprize if the figures showed up looking differently than you had anticipated, but unpainted or not, it just seems like you had no idea what it was you were going to do with these in the first place.

"Paint them all wierd" What's that?

You're the artist. Isn't that what people are paying you to decide?

They send unpainteds? That is weird....for this sculpt.

Just my opinion but it seems like its gonna be a mess to go weird /no masking.....maybe let em be delayed and send back for the standard masking and pick the colors?

Seems like a lot of work/handpainting to get these looking right otherwise.


*******Sorry my damn computer/this board is acting funny...I didnt read Franks post about 1000 bucks back and forth to Japan...damn...must be a solution on the RxH end of this.....HIRO?

I just have to chalk it up to my not speaking/writing japanese and vice versa.

mistakes will happen.

I am sure since all the other toys I have ordered have been blanks they assumed this was to be blank as well, even though I asked for paints.

I am not upset with them, just frustrated theres no time really to get them done before sdcc.

maybe I should glue them all together into a GIANT fortune cat.

it looks awesome blank!

I wasnt going to 'do' anything with them except offer a special clear purple/factory paint colorway.

the TRADITIONAL Fortune Cat pattern.

why cant you understand that?

Seems like Hiro might be of help here...Hiro speaks Japanese well...right?Hiro brings us the RxH Story so he speaks to Mori. I hope you guys can work it out with RxH so they end up as you expected Frank.

There's a lot I don't understand. Carry on.

from how i'm understanding it, they DID arrive looking differently than expected

frank was expecting a painted cat and they arrived blank

Blanks would be best. Then one can fill them with stuff.
There's enough painted ones out there: white, black, red, gold.

I am unsure if selling blanks would be 'ok' with RxH.

I feel it wouldnt be.
