Clinton Frankenstein bucket

[Palifan]

Well, he paid immediately and received it and a lot of other goodies two days later -- the day before Halloween.  He left very nice feedback for me on ebay and seemed happy.

There was no shill bidding and I resent the suggestion of it.  Also not real pleased with the misrepresenting (from some here) of what I was selling.  Beware, take care!

Well done for getting so much for a copy, amazing that someone would pay so much but it shows it was worth doing. As for 'Beware' though, seems a bit threatening to me and unnecessary, I'm not sure if you thought this item would achieve anywhere near the amount it went for so I think it's fair enough that people wondered about the whole thing. Good to be set straight though and best of luck with any others that you produce.

Caveat emptor.

I see more sense in buying a perfect repro, reasonably priced, than paying a grand for a beat, holely, faded original. These things NICE were going for about $300-$500 a couple of years ago, and now a beater commands $1000? Just...no.

I disagree about the perfect repro.  Its still a repro.  And I love my beat up holey faded originals.   ORIGINALs.   Thats good enough for me and money well spent in my humble opinion.

so..... yes.

Just saying, many monster fans can't or won't justify the $1000.
At least ithe resin doorstop is an alternative for people. Am I for an exact copy in plastic? I vote no. But spending a couple hundred on a resin copy isn't that wacky. Look what garage kits in resin retail for.

Maybe, just maybe at $100 (although $60 feels about right), $550 though is beyond a pass for me although each to their own.

I'd be OK with an EXACT duplicate - as long as it was done in a different color plastic.

As always, price would be determined by the market - regardless of what any individual thinks it should cost.

But then, it wouldn't be an exact duplicate. 

[Monster Bob]

The crappy plastic and orange color were terrible choices to show sculpted detail. Probably why they shot green paint on it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[hugohernandez]

I can't believe the resin copies are commanding into the hundreds!!!   202 for the bucket, 280 for the lamp, and a 142 for an unpainted bucket.

thats redonkulus.

hee haw.

Well, at least its very colorful, and quite impressive, but still.... sigh.       If you the seller are reading this thread, why don't you attach the handle?  is it because resin is too fragile for punching holes, etc?

You'd have to drill.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see what member dirtyhorse Dan could do with one of these things?

I'm sure he would sharpen up the detail a bit before painting.

What this person has is a copy of a Speaker Head.....The Hole in the top of the buckets is bigger than on the the speaker heads which would be much more noticeable if attached.......Maybe that's why.
