I've never had any sculpting work commissioned and was wondering what it would cost to have a 28mm head sculpted. Specifically, I'm looking for a head for a "Bender" robot from Futurama. I'll supply the body. Also, can anyone recommend someone? Preferably a nice compromise between quality and price. |

Shouldn't be too hard to do: link Head is shaped like a medicine capsule, with an antenna sticking from the top. Dan |

Who would have Bender tattooed on their back?!? You'll have to click the link above to see. |

If you place the tattoo just right, and add the phrase "kiss my shiny metal ______" . . . Dan |

I picked up a pretty nice "not-bender" at Origins this year for $5, I think it was from the ArmorCast booth… |

"Who would have Bender tattooed on their back?" …she can have anything she wants on her back… |

I'd be *real* surprised if that's a permanent tattoo on Ms. Bender-Back. I'm betting it's either temporary, or, more likely, Photoshop.
Not that I'm complaining, mind . . . |

The girl poster is a fake…I saw that photo before without the bender tat. Depending on the shipping distance I would do the bender head. I am interested in the bender body choice. |

What body are you supplying? This one.

It will require some modifications, though. It's also a bit tall. By the time a head is added, it will come in just a little over your average 28-30mm mini. The "real" Bender on the other hand is on the short side. @jfleisher
If you could provide any more info, I'd appreciate it. I couldn't find it. |

I don't see him on their website, and he was sold in a ziplock bag with no markings… Here's a picture… link |

It's con-only. Next year hedonism bot and the cross-dressing robot are supposed to make an appearance. |

It's con-only Why is it minis companies punish those of us that can't attend a con when we should be getting consolation prizes. The closest con to me is almost 2 hours away. It's only about 4 years old and is still very small. I've only ever seen a few small time companies there. |
