It's finally here. 7-inches tall, hand cast resin, small batch, designed and produced in the USA,
Huck Gee's "
The Skullhead Blank v1.0" will see the light of day starting tomorrow, October 2nd, at 12Noon PDT. Each figure is signed and available for $75 (with free domestic shipping). That being said, the price is a touch high... but Huck mentions "
The initial production costs were higher than anticipated. I did everything possible to keep the price low but manufacturing quality goods in the USA is not cheap. The Blank's price reflects the cost of paying employees a living wage, with quality oversight, and doing so in a safe working environment. However, with that being said, we have learned a lot, improved our manufacturing process, and we may be able to bring the price of the Blank down in the future as we streamline the process further. Or... I'll add more details and complexity and it will go higher. :) But this is what it is: A quality product designed and manufactured in the USA." NOW... if you are just collecting these as is, $75 is an ok pill to swallow in our book, but if yo are an artist looking to customize this and sell it for profit, $75 is a big number for anything blank... meaning you have to mark up the custom pretty high to recover your cost. Hopefully Huck will be able to get the price down to around the $50 mark, that would be awesome! In any case, we are happy to see these finally released, and be ready starting tomorrow to
snag one up as soon as the clock strikes 12Noon!
