Reproduction G1 Parts / Weapons and other Pieces
On a related note. I'm in the middle of doing another project which involves having several thousand plastic cases reproduced. Which are not related to transformers.
However, the wife reminded me of how years ago I attempted to make a clone army of cassettes and seekers. I just love decepticons. This project failed,due to my lacking of skill.
I digress, I'm thinking about potentially sinking thousands of dollars and having a professional company make the 3D scanning of G1 Parts/Pieces & weapons etc. Which then can be converted into a CAD format, allowing for a injection mold made.
However, I occasionally get a little zealous. I want to know what would be the interest. The goal would be to have the majority of items in the $2.50 to $5 each or as a set. Perhaps very select items would be higher then that.
I will be limited to what I can do. As the company, for the price range requires a max use of 16 oz including the tree per mold.
Additionally, because of the CAD work. They say its no problem for them to label some where a R on each item. To clearly mark them as Reproductions.
Aditional Ideas My wife and I have been bouncing of each other.
Are not to just offer the standard colours. However, potentially offer parts in Transparent colours. Like, red, blue, green, aqua, charcoal, clear. The list goes on.
This Idea is not limited to G1.
Part of the key Idea with this, is to pick parts that have an overal size less then 2.5cm or one inch. This way they can be shipped OS Lettermail. Which depending on volume could be shipped for as little as $3 and up.
With all that said. What happened to Darkvo on TWF2005? It seems he disappeared sometime in 2012.
Any suggestions, recommendation, critizations are welcome.
