 Re: Mockbat
I got one, but haven't received it. The arms are connected with magnets. I don't know how does it compare to the original resin, but from the pics I got its about 4".

 Re: Mockbat
^ It is the same as the original resin but with magnetic parts.

 Re: Mockbat
Thanks! I didn't know how much it shrinks. I just got a resin seagool and compared to the vinyl it shrinks quite a bit.

 Re: Mockbat
I think this is as "metal" as the resin Mockbat could get. I own a gold and a black myself and I absolutely love them and play with them often.  I'm painting my black. ( I think it's just copper painted black honestly! But don't hang me if you mess with it!) Bottom line... Thanks to all who purchased them, they will outlive all of us. You have to figure too, each casting takes one wax! It's crazy. It was a real I FART A LOT for them to figure out the gut hatch and added to the production time. But I insisted on it. A figure with the Takara "magnemo" system would have been better (polarity bro!), but it wasn't up to me. If I had a foundry at my command, there would be some serious crazy sheesh! But the $300 on the bay? Nutbag...please. Anyway, prepare for MORE vinyl Mockbat insanity in 2014. Assured.

 Re: Mockbat
Thanks for the info, Paul!
I was thinking the same thing, one wax per cast, that must have been a pain.
I hope that nutbag doesnt get any bites and just has to suck it up and sell it at retail eventually.

I like this very much. ^^^ THIS ^^^ I was very impressed with how the metal bats turned out, but I bleed vinyl. Probably should talk to my doctor about that... After the beautiful SDCC release, I'm eagerly looking forward to Paul's next mockbat colorway.

 Re: Mockbat
Sorry, no NYCC this year.
Needed to invest in ramping, and revamping the PK machine for a solid 2014.
That alone is one climb!
Plenty of US East coast makers and shakers bringing the goods.
Sorry I am missing it.

 Re: Mockbat
Thats The only show I'm able to get help in getting some PK. Sadness. On the other hand, glad the machine is getting revamped. This year was great, one can only hope for a better one in 2014. Now to wait on the king jinx preorders so I can have a fix.

 Re: Mockbat
Getting to know my fig the past few days. Really intensive masking work. Lots of tape use and layer after layer and repeat. That's what I get to have sculpted myself into a masking situation.  But thanks to ILU ILU and similar companies who've really inspired me this past year. I accept the game. It's all for the better.  Dcon 2013 WILL ROCK!
