Okay, folks.. This is STRICTLY hypothetical for the moment. I haven't discussed this in-depth with the Weiners yet. I wanted to see what the fan reaction was first to see if it was even worthwhile.
As some of you may know, since becoming Captain Gimp Heart, I've started working with polymer clay. photobucket.com/albums/y18/gimpheart/Polymer/
Well, anywho.. I thought it would be interesting to make some FW figurines. Here's a ROUGH pic of the project.
Basically I'd widen the lapels, take off the rose, add the FW embroidery, and define the face more. Each member's figurine would have different hair based on who it is.. The guitars would go with Atom, Josh, and Andrew and you can choose the color of the guitar. Jeff's figurine would come will miniature drumsticks.
So.. Whaddya think.. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Just any kind of feedback in general would be GREATLY appreciated.. If you kids like them, and they meet with FW approval, then I'd start making them immediately. As for pricing.. Materials per figurine will run at least $5. I won't know until I get going.. And it takes hours and hours to make them.. Bake them.. Gloss them.. Glam them.. So.. That will all be discussed at a later date.. But I know that they will be at least $10 each. That may sound steep, but you wouldn't think so if you realized the time and care that goes into these projects. So yeah..
Feedback.. The end..

I remember ages ago, you were talking about making something with that stuff, and i said you could make me something.... That has nothing to do with this...
But i would buy them, would you sell them altogether or individually... Cause i'd have to think real hard which one to get first as it'd take me ages to get all 4

I'm so glad you guys like the idea! Yay!
As for your question, Amanda..
I would probably sell them individually for like $15 each.. But if you bought all four as a set it would be like $45-$50.. So it would be a $10-$15 discount.. Like getting one free..
AND.. I thought about it.. And I'm gonna ask Ben about it.. But if it meets with approval, I'll make a special edition Ben Weiner, for all the Ben fans.. WITH curly hair.. Oh yes.. A Ben figurine without curly hair is just not Ben at all.. Haha..
This sounds so gay.. Haha.. But I'm glad you guys like it.. [/b]

Cost-wise.. What's your thoughts?

Hmm a little pricey, but considering how much effort and work and stuff you put into it, plus the cost of the materials it's reasonable....I'll start saving my money now!

It seems expensive to me, but i have no money, so everything is expensive to me.
The prices sound good, especially the 4 pack idea.... That way you get all 4 at once and its cheaper than if you buy them seperately. Reasonable prices i'd say, as you'd have to get tons of materials, you'd be spending so many days and nights on these. Plus the shipping costs... So i think its good
