I hear ya Brian. I went with the classic Iron Man that I read when he was doing it. I also wanted him to do Thor, Hercules and Hawkeye. I threw She-Hulk in for good measure.
Beatty's commission work has really stood out to me over the last couple years. Our schedules finally lined up so that I could get something from him. I love the old school look to his figures. The signature at the bottom reads, "With A Tip O' The Hat To The King!" Gotta love it.
Bob does commission work sporadically these days. He fits them in in between his Hollywood work. He also mentions when he's free on this ComicArtFan page.
And, Joe, I'm jealous of your Beatty. When I contacted him he said that he was busy and wouldn't be able to take any more commissions until some time this spring.
I think you have to catch him at the right time with the right request. I think this was the third time I had contacted him for a commission and it finally worked out.
