Gerry, that is a whole 'nother ball of wax. :/
I really don't know. I am an amatuer sculptor. I'm still learning. I was hoping to finish some projects like these here and then either try to mold them myself, or, if a lot of people were interested, then I would try to have someone else mold and cast them for us.
But, I was hoping to deal with that as I go along. Try to work all that out. I have to ask the guys at the Statue Forum and try to figure it all out.
If I was to cast them myself, I would probably just try to make a small bacth, see how much it cost me to manufacture them them with materials and my labor. But, I would probably sell them as cheap as possible because all this is a learning expereince for me.

That's great, Gerry. I would love to chat with him. That whole process is pretty mind-boggling.
I dream of having the ROG figure cast in metal. But I don't know if that's remotely feasible. :)
Edit: Thanks for the compliment on the Wolverine statue. :) Sadly, that Wolverine didn't come through. It was more like a study for me. I probably did 10 different variations in the process.
Here's another kind of version I did in the process.

Oh jeez. Probably off and on over a couple nights. Hard to say, because I would do so many different kinds of variants trying to get it right. I did these quite awhile ago, as well. I got sidetracked from sculpting and have been working on all kinds of different projects.
The problem I have when I sculpt is that while I am sculpting my mind wanders all over like crazy. And i get a lot of ideas normally. But when I try to sculpt I get an endless amount. So I end up getting sidetracked from sculpting. But I have to stick with it now. No choice. :)

Gerry, if you have any ideas of sculpts you would like to see, please let me know. If I am inspired by it I could attempt it and if you liked it maybe you'd want to buy it. If we can get it made in a price you would want to buy it.

Gerry, could you find me some images of this character? I'm not familiar with that one. Is this a character that doesn't have a good sculpt of him available?
It would be cool to do something that is in demand.
I will Google him and see what info I can find. Please send me some of your favorite pictures of this character.

I'll have to get some comics. See if I can come up with some cool ideas for a sculpt. A good pose. I could see his sleeves causing some problems. So, it might be tricky coming up with a pose to make them work.. but there has to be a way!
