Another sneak peak for you GL fans. I have a few tweeks to do, and a couple of heads aren't the right color, but you see where I'm going.

All orders through WE 8-3-13 aside from a couple who I emailed have been sent out.

Also I'll be closing my store down for a little while this evening. I'm not exactly sure how long, but it'll be at least a week or so.

Ok I just reopened after adding 23 new items including 3 different "Satellite" kits, and even chairs that'll actually fit your figures better.

I'm getting ready to head out to the post office right now with all of the orders for WE 8-10, and 8-17. For those of you wondering why those 2 weeks haven't shipped yet here's a pic of the volume of orders for those 2 weeks:

Also I was wondering if you guys could do me a favor. If you're going to a convention, or you happen to know a few people around your area who customize could you print up a sheet or 2 of these, and hand them out?

Happy Thanksgiving week! In the spirit of giving thanks to you my customers from Sunday 11-24 through Saturday 11-30 ALL orders will get an extra item from my big box of freebies. In addition the standard $50, $100, and $200 (before shipping) levels will get 2 at $50, 3 at $100, and 4 at $200, instead of the 1 at $50, 2 at $100, and 3 at $200 I usually do.

Well guys the last order for WE 12-28-13 went out yesterday as did the first order for WE 1-4-14. If everything I put in last night comes out looking good then I'll be about 75%-80% done the orders for WE 1-4-14, so things are moving right along.

I added a few new items last night including a flame thrower back pack.

As of right now I'm all caught up on orders through WE 1-4-14. The last few orders from last week will go out today. I've only had 3 orders come in so far this week, so start getting some more orders in here guys. I'm all ready for you.

Found Mr Freeze today, so I figured I'd try adding my ice plume to him, and the fire plume to the MKI, I just twirled a small drill bit by hand where I wanted the plumes to protrude from.

Alright guys so the first box from Stocos came in the other day, and I'm going through trying out all of these great new molds. I'm not sure of what all of the molds are for, but as I make each new item I'm putting them into my store. I just added the female Ninja torso, and a military looking male torso, as well as a couple of new X-belt sets that I think you guys'll love.

As always if you put in an order early in the week, and see something later on, and order that too I'll throw in an extra item to cover the shipping.

I added 3 more female torsos, and the high heels.

Ok guys 23 new items, and 2 new services added (Furball kit, and suited figure assembly). The store is now back open for business

Hey guys I'm almost caught up on making molds of the parts that have been sent to me so I'm getting ready to start up the celebration of the close of my second, and the start of my third year in business by rewarding the artists that help me out with their sculpting, shrinking, and 3D printing skills. Going forward these artists will not only get their names in the description of the piece they designed, but also will be financially rewarded for their work beginning with the items that have recently been sent to me by a couple of artists, and going forward starting 3-1-14:

VCA artist incentive program

I've been thinking about this for a while, and the artists
that contribute to my store should be getting more than just
a single copy of the item they sent to me. A copy is a good
payment for those who send me an item to copy, but the artists
should get paid for their work. So going forward all items that
are sculpted, shrunken, or 3D designed for me that I put in my
store will earn money for the original creator for the first 12
months that the item is in the store.

Now I've gone over the figures of what I make off of each
type of item after materials, and to be able to do this w/o
losing money I'd need about 90% of the value of the items.
So I'll be paying the artists 10% of the price I charge for
the item for 12 months. Every month I'll send the designers
a paypal payment for the 10% of the amount that their items
made during that month. I'll put an * on the spread sheet
next to the item that artist made listed under their name,
and multiply the number of * by the 10% amount.

Here's how I'm going to lay out the spread sheet for each
artist:

"Artist 1"
head price 4.5 10% .45 *** 1.35
torso price 10.5 10% 1.05 ** 2.10
weapon price 3 10% .30 ****1.20
total 4.65

Now I know that this doesn't seem like much, but it'll add up
trust me, and the more items you guys make, and send me the
more money you'll get.

Anniversary month week 2 kicks off another new deal for you guys. Now I added assembly as an optional extra service towards the end of last month. However going forward all orders of $150 or more *before shipping* will get free assembly of 2 suited figure kits, or one Furball kit (only assembly is free you will have to pay for the kit itself). I won't be adding the flame wheel motorcycles to this because they won't fit into the boxes we currently use assembled.

The last of the orders for WE 3-8-14 are ready to go, and my shipping clerk will be packing them up, and sending them out tonight. So when I get home from work in the morning I'll be getting started making the orders for WE 3-15-14. I already went through my premades, and pulled out the items that I had already made, and that actually put a pretty good sized dent in the list of items that need to be made.

Well this is the last week of the Anniversary month. So let's end this 2 year anniversary with a BANG. DOUBLE the regular extras. So at $50 you'll get to choose $10 worth of items for free in addition to your order, $20 worth at $100, $30 at $150, or $40 at $200. So go through the site, and make your list of items you want to get, and add it all up, and see how much you can get for free. This has been a great 2 years, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where this is heading the rest of this year, and beyond.

Hey guys don't forget that there's only a week, and a half left for the Easter egg sale (you get an egg for every $50 you spend on my site before shipping. The eggs contain 1 piece of Hershey's candy, an item from my store that fit in the egg, and one in 13 eggs has a code for $20 worth of free items w/ free domestic shipping). I had 3 eggs left over after last weeks orders, so the left over eggs will be added to the 13 eggs for this weeks orders. If the code egg is still left in the bag then there's a 2 in 16 chance that you'll get a code egg, if the code egg from last week is sent out with one of the orders for last week then you guys have a 1 in 16 chance of getting a code egg. What ever eggs are left over this week will be added to the bag of eggs for next week. So far there are only 2 eggs spoken for so far this week.

Don't forget guys THIS Saturday the 26th of April is the last day I'll be open until Sunday June 1st. So get your orders in, before I close at midnight on Saturday.

If you are ordering from another country, please do not try to pull a fast one, and order with a US address, and then ask me to ship to an address in another country for the US shipping cost. I never would have thought that I'd of had to post something like this, but this actually just happened, and I want to make it perfectly clear that I WILL NOT do that. If you do try to do this then I'll do the same thing with your order that I did with the order that just tried to get me to do it, I'll refund your order. I can not afford to cut into my finances to ship your orders out cheaper. The money for my business only comes from my business. I don't touch the family budget for my business anymore, and haven't since about 2 months after I opened back in 2012. So sink, or swim it's all on what I bring in through the business. I hope you guys understand. The international rates include the customs fee, and other charges that are put on an international shipment. Not to mention that I have packing costs that I don't even pass on to my customers ie boxes, paper, and ink for the invoices, and shipping labels, zipper baggies to contain the parts, tape, and then there's the money that I pay my shipping clerk. Granted my shipping clerk is my father, but I still have to pay him for doing my shipping.

Thank you for understanding,
Dennis Plourde

3 hours till I close for the next month.

I just went through the male head sections, and renamed all of them by numbers so that they'll be easier to sort, and find while I'm filling orders. It's been working pretty well w/ the female heads so I figured I'd give the male heads a go.

So as always I'm trying to add more, and more variety to the color choices for my store. So on a whim I tried making gold items. After all I've gotten pretty comfortable w/ the silver coloring, and the new formulation that I had to do for that to work out right. The colorants that I use for silver softens the plastics, so I had to mess w/ the formulation a little for a more sturdy result. Here's the results.
