It honestly looks like something out of Final Fantasy. That being said, I would pick one up for the shelf/ display purposes only.

Also the upper body looks too busy... too many arms crammed into too small of a space. Four arms would have been better than six.

All in all, I think that most I would pay for this is $150 USD. I mean, a Knucklebonz limited edition figure/statue costs about the same and it comes assembled and painted. Yes, they are just nice to look at, but this would be the same for me.

It has a sort of... 'pit fiend' vibe to it, almost.

I like pit fiends.

First of all , thanks for all the different feed backs , they are all important and correct in their own ways. So its a BIG help , thanks again Dakka.

There seems to be conflict with how to price this. Some user says worth goes up if usable in wargame , some worry if excessively handled it'll be worth less than a normal display piece.
What if , its sturdy and resilient enough to be used in war games while functioning as display? ( the base is almost like a movement tray , we dont just grab its limb and move it around xD )

Thanks for the feed back on the aesthetic issues , i agree it does not fit into warhammer. Its more of a display of sculpting skill and manufacturing results of Original Work . Which im glad people seem to agree of its quality.

Which company makes these? None. Its private ,commissioned , and produced. Which still gets boot leg recasts. Hence making me think twice if i want to commission a warhammer version into N.America to make profit ( hehe! )

Price to produce? sorry i cant discuss that , I still need to factor in commission cost to make one from scratch ( If for Warhammer usage ) , and pay them to produce each kit.

Again please do leave comments , feedback on what you think about it. Every response is valued info i need to consider.

Commission?

Is it your own sculpt? or are you re-casting these?

Pkking sculpted it.

Is PKKing the OP?

No PKKINg is the sculptor.


**Edit**
I stand corrected and apologize.

You could investigate that via the links Neconilis provided. It looks like there might be a complicated answer to that question.

No, that is not the case at all and you really ought to read more carefully before making that kind of accusation.

I misread. Fixed.

Links dont work for me, hence, the questions.

I'm in the $0 club as well. Awesome sculpting and detail but it's way too busy with all the arms and tentacles. I'd ditch 4 arms, the tentacles and the wings.

Hes a very nice model. Just to many arms.. and to clumped up.

Who made this one ?

as for buying, it doesnt really fit into any of the tabletop games i play so probly wouldnt get it.

Seems like a display peice ?

I wouldn't spend anything on it. It is just so over-crowded.

In one of the links there appears to be allegations of stealing as between some of these companies. I can't tell if the model we're talking about is involved (because I didn't read further).

Honestly, I wouldn't pay anything for it. I just don't like it at all.
I'm surprised to say that, actually. I've got a wde range of 'tastes' in models.
This one was just too busy for me with too many contrasting elements vying for my attention.

Also, all the detail seemed to be focused on the intracies of the armor and not enough (comparatively) to anatomical (not genitalia!) details like raised veins, etc.

It's not suitable for GW because it's
A: HUGE!!!!
B: It's far too eastern and ornamental in it's design.

If i wanted it, I would pay ~60% of the Y7500 price quoted on the website ~$120-$180.

If you want a cool Final Fantasy XII boss which appears to be very detailed and well cast (You can't sell it as No pinning BTW) go for it.

@Neconilis: Thanks for Exposing the OP, was fairly suspicious of this thread, now i know the facts not so.
You should be a PI!

Exposing?

Pfft. whatever.

You could read a little bit before going off the cuff.

That looks cool but I have no use for it so wouldn't but it. I did used to make Gundam Kits before I got big into 40k but now all my model fund goes to 40k so have no use for this. If I somehow hit the lottery or got rich all the sudden I'd consider getting one to paint up but as it as now nah $0. Some of the lineage models look pretty awesome. The sculpting is really good and stuff looks awesome but again no use for it so no buy.

I think Luna actually is in contact with PKKing and is trying to commision something for 40k and is trying to gauge how much people would pay for a cool 40k piece in the style of this model this model.

Now if they made something like a bloodthirster or fateweaver counts as that looks really awesome then maybe I'd be interested.

Just the fact lunar hound was being less than transparent in the OP. Seeing as how he was withholding info without stated, clear reason in the OP (Even if the reasons are obvious it is not enough to imply it) i call any unearthing of said info 'exposing'. I don't think reading has anything to do with it.

You're more than welcome for the info. I was as curious as anyone else and wanted to find out as much as I could about the model in order to share it.

What an interesting accusation. I want to sell recasts? no get some info straight first.

1) The sculptor is free to take commission after he finishes his current contract. Hence if i think enough people will purchase his work after seeing the quality,
we can start something us warhammer players can use.

2) I dont want to reveal the sculptor right away incase bigger companies snatches him away by paying him more than i can offer. *Cough since i know chapterhouse is confident in its standings vs GW
and probably wouldnt mind venturing into the larger scales. While we have also seen companies such as Ultraforge been successful in creating medium size GW count-as sculpts.

3) Necronlis found "source"? well guess what , we gave him the source on 4chan , via /jp/ and /tg/ ask him yourself. I KNEW it was someone from Dakka easily
due to the file name posted , im not dumb.

4) IF i have the capability of recasting things , i would prefer to recast FW then this , for obvious reasons FW gets to sell small amount of resin for higher price.
Not to mention all i have to do is recast and not have to pay the sculpting fees. Like i mentioned in the first post , there has been people recasting his work.
The last thing i want is to pay for commission and for people to just steal the kit and recasts. Then what the hell am i so dumb to "pay" the sculpting commission fee for?
Its like buying something just to have it stolen.

6) Lastly , i saw this as a chance for me to both make a small profit and bring in a new sculptor that can make us beautiful large scale warhammer monsters.
I would be happy to give out all the info about the sculptor once the contract was set in stone. But you guys use that as a base for attacking and accusing me of recasting?

I wont ask for apologies but some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

FW GD size?
Hmmm around €100-150 I'd feel for me personally.

So, it's probably an unfair comparison, but I'd have to have someone explain to me why more than US$100 is fair for a resin model before I'd want to pay more than that. How much does a model that big cost to make?

Dude, you got seriously ripped off. An MG Zaku should only be around $50 USD before shipping at most, even when the Yen was stronger. They've always been around 3~4000 Yen.

My mistake. I started typing, then looked up the model, and forgot to correct myself. I meant the Perfect Grade model: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN72361, 12,000 Yen retail, weighs about a pound when assembled, includes a batter powered red led.

That is what I've been conditioned to expect for that price range.

Its nice, I used to collect Statues, and this reminds me of some of the resin kits. I have to say though, it doesn't compete with the new Maelstrom range.....in looks, (or price it seems)

I like it but i'm broke so $50.00 is all I have.

Ah yes, then good price for the PG.

I don't believe anyone ever claimed that you were dumb. Anyway, I did indeed ask over on 4chan when I was searching for info last night, and the information that I learned helped me out a lot. I did some more traditional web searching as well and got the rest from there. After that I shared the info that I discovered with everyone here since there was a definite interest.

Sorry that part wasnt directed at you Neconilis , i was agitated at the 3 that accused me of counterfeits.

Perhaps being more forthcoming and direct in regards to the origin of the model (keeping the original model sculptor anonymous) would of probably been more beneficial.

Being indirect and roundabout in presenting the model made people view this model in other ways than what you intended them to see it as.

I gave the reason for it , if you find it to be unsatisfactory , please give a solution to what you would have done differently.
