Anyone who is interested in the custom mini's my team and I are and will be creating please PM me. This will give us a great idea of the demand from the website. The finished products will look amazing.

We talked about this on the show tonight. Here are the issues as I see them. First, you're trying to gauge interest in the community by discussing and showing 'prototypes'. We have a lot of top notch customizers who post finished products. We're not told they'll be cool...they ARE cool. Why not actually do a mini and put it out there? If it is as top shelf as you say, people will be interested. The only time I ever commissioned a mini to be made was a request I made to an established artist whose work I'd seen (and owned) many times. Personally, if I'm going to invest in a custom mini, I'm not going to ask someone whose work I've never seen. But someone like Lily Wan, whose examples of quality are all over the place? Money.
Second, your price point. What is it? What range are you looking at? 60$ is too high for what I want to do. I want to play with the piece I'm buying. Maybe that price is in line with collectors. If so, that's who you should be talking to. No one that I know is dropping that kind of coin to put a piece on the table.
Third, this is a game. The characters all have cards. Have you looked into the newest Vsets out? What is being played competitively now? Have you heard of the Legends sets out of Tennessee? If you want to make game pieces...and that's ultimately what they are...then you should be paying attention to what is coming out and what is being played. Making a mini of a character that you think is cool is great, but if he doesn't have a card or stats with the above mentioned formats, then you're talking to the wrong people. We want minis that we can play, not display.
I'm taking you at your word that you are enthusiastic about the game and want to keep it going. I've said many times on the show if you are doing something that puts people in seats playing the game, I'm all for you. I hope you'll take these suggestions and maybe give us an example of your work...we'd honestly love to see it.

First I'm showing the entire process I will go through with making these, prototypes to then green stuff/adding light sabers/details etc then onto painting...then onto cards. I want to show the entire process and this will be done with the first set we are creating. When they are finished trust me I will post them that day. I expect no full interest until product is fully completed that is perfectly fine. Second question price point. I've already discussed this with several interested parties. The actual price point will be as follows: There are five figures in each set. If you wish to buy them seperately meaning 1 or 2 out of each set they will be $30.00 a miniature. However if you wish to purchase the entire set of five the total charge will be $125.00 for all five. Once all five figures are completed from each set I will also conduct a poll for a sixth figure that revolves around that set that people want to see. The one with the most votes I will produce. Third question. Cards. Yes all figures will have cards and are included in this price. The cards will be exact matches to the WOTC cards and will honestly use a lot of the stats as seen from customs on this website aka Darth Malgus from the V set his stats will be transferred to the cards I'm making. They will all fit perfectly into the game and reflect the V Sets almost entirely statistic wise. Four. Our main goal here is to bring life back into the game. The pieces aren't finished yet but they will be and everyone will have to take my word when I say they will be top notch. I don't want to post anything until these are complete I want it to kind of be like a surprise or grand entry kind of thing. You will all be pleased however. I am asking for no money or pre-orders till you all can see all five figures with cards absolutely complete and ready to be shipped. They will even be featured in a ebay store for secure sales. We are bringing life back into this game my friend. We have tons of ideas and sets in our mind. The first set is called Legacy of the Sith but P.s we already have the next two sets planned out. Keep your eyes peeled updates will come quick. -Sunny

Also another question that was brought up from someone else. I will give discounts for referrals. There are tons of ways I'll give discounts out on my mini's if you like my products once finished and buy them up everytime along with getting others to buy them up (spread the word) there will be nice discounts on the mini's you purchase.

Then this is all for casual play? Obviously if you're not using Vset cards or stats of Legends pieces but rather making up your own they won't be legal in either format for tournament play.

If that means using the Vset cards then yes that is what we will do. As I stated above Darth Malgus will use his existing VSet card I believe from set 6 if I remember correctly.
