Mummy Ring Replica - Fan Feedback

[Trap-Door Maker]

Sounds quite tasty, indeed! Count me in!
Looking forward to seeing your Comic Con showings in person next week!

This sounds awesome. Any price range yet?

It should be in the same range as their James Bond SPECTRE Ring, which is $200.00.

Very cool Idea! I'd love to own one.

I was hoping we'd get some WIP pix by now, especially of the display hand.

Speaking from personal experience, one of the issues with showing work in progress pictures is that you may need to make changes. Then, after the changes are made, you will forever here complaints from some people that the item looked better before the changes. often this is worded like "I don't know why those idiots changed it. They had a great sculpt and then ruined it!"

It is much easier to wait until a sculpt is approved and the item is in production before you release any shots (of the already approved sculpt).

That said, I think it is great that they are doing a hand display for the ring and I look forward to seeing, and eventually owning, one.

Yeah, but they promised!

Thanks everybody some great feedback...  look like Screen accurate it is :-)
We hope to have some prototypes to show you all soon....

I'm fairly certain you are just kidding. Saying I hope to do something and saying I promise to do something are not even close to each other.

Patience patience... something we need to make clear. We are not allowed to share or release anything until its approved by Universal. Images, text, product you name it. Sometimes that process takes a little while.

As you also wisely pointed out showing in development stuff can cause headaches/confusion as people cannot always tell final from prototype etc. We also like to get approval from all the other parties involved in a project as well first, like Tyler, the sculptor of the ring. Even though its only a stand, we just think its better to get the creators of a project happy with everything that's going to be included with their work. We don't just do work for hire, we like sculptors and artists that we work with to feel part of our gang and involved in the process.  He loved it BTW..  I think the exact words were 'Fantastic!'

Earlier this week we got the final clay sculpt for the hand stand and it looks great! Creepy and delicious, it has Karloff's long slender fingers, heck it actually looks like somebody chopped Karloff's hand off.... which is nasty and cool at the same time. At the moment its only brown clay, which looks a little funny. It's gone off for approval and we will share some images as soon as we can.

Yes, just my exhuberance over the upcoming release spilling out.

No, we understand you need approvals and all before releasing images. That's OK. And, at least we got some news on the piece's progress!

I'm glad I don't have the torch and pitchfork concessions in YOUR town. Killjoy.

Thanks for the update, Factory! I really like that you are a member and are willing to listen to fan input and answer questions.  It's really classy of you!

[Count_Zirock]

I think we're overdue for an update with images!
