Awesome!
Great job jokabofe!

DD - did you get my Scout Trooper yet?  Can you ask Red5Sixx to use our basic template?

So everybody went quite regarding these auctions. I'm a little disappointed to see only two auctions after all this talk. Mine ends tomorrow so if you haven't bid get out there.

So, when are we going to see some new auctions??

Hello every one. I'm new here, was sent here by the boys over at rebel scum. Anyhow I wanted to share this figure we made with you. It is to help the victims of hurricane Katrina. 100% of the winning bid will go directly to charity.. So bid now, before its over. Alot of work went into making this figure.





Bid here:  eBay

There's a new one up today, and it is one hell of a 12" figure.

I never even got around to making one, I haven't had time for customizing of any sorts in over amonth. :'( Stupid school.  >:(

Do you mean this one? I'm watching it too. It's a heck of a doll.

Anyone know when the others are going up? Or did this project/idea just die?

Personally, I think it was a way to increase DD's custom collection.   :P

Just kidding. ;)

The problem is time is of the essence. The general public is starting to no care about this anymore. It's falling off their radar very quickly. An example of this is how the first auction made $41 while the second made $24. I should have made mine a five day auction instead of ten.  Another would be the complete lack of new auctions and updates. Third would be no more postings to this thread.

I do agree that this has kind of died down.  Seems like every emergency eventually dies down in the public mind and people start focusing more on their own lives (which is only natural).

Mine was sent in, albeit a bit late (sorry DD and Ennis).  However, judging how some very shitey customs are selling, I'm not worried about our well-made customs doing well, dollar-wise.

Just do a search for "custom clone" on Ebay and you'll see some serious crap selling just fine.
