Mando Custom

I'll probably just make up 10 and that's it.

When they sell I'm done.

THIS is part of the issue, I believe. It was believed to be a limited run, and that was it, and while two more were made past the ten, everyone who had one of the helmets knew why and was fine with it. And yes, the arrow linky button thingie goes to the original post.
 
Like I've said to a couple people, I'm just going to back off on this for a couple days and let people think about it. I don't want to be a come off like a jerk about whole thing. The word "probably" makes the post a bit vague on the accual amount that I was going to make and at the time I believe I made a helmet for anyone who had expressed intrest and yes that meant I made more than 10.
I've also been informed of 1 member, (NOT Talon who I think was trying to get ahold of me about casting this), who has been telling people they had my permission to recast this peice for there own personal use which is NOT true, SHE or anyone else has NEVER had my permission to recast this helmet.
I'll be in touch about this.

with ten more helmets wouldn't it still be rare?

The issue isn't the rarity, so much as the fact that it's something special for those of us who have one. Those of us who have one and have been talking to each other about it all feel as though it'd lose a lot of the special-ness if more were made as-is. None of us are opposed to even a slightly altered one being produced, either in another limited run or as an open run. Personally, I think that either the ears or the back should be changed if another run is done anyway. The ears to increase strength (I know several have cracked around them) and the back simply because it looks great but there's so little that can be done with the details on the back.

Think of it this way. You're told that there's only one chance to buy X item, be it a car, a prop, a costume piece, etc. So you go and find the money however you can and buy it. And then a few years later, you find out, oh, there's another run of them being made. It's also limited to just ten, but, hey, who knows if it'll be the ONLY other run of them produced, or if it'll be a regular occurence.
 
Also, Talon and I were both trying to get ahold of you about casting it, for repair/replacement reasons, never for producing more for either personal use or otherwise. I think I may have actually planted the idea in Talon's head, after I told him about the cracks in the ear of mine. There's another helmet maker who had offered to do casts of the helmets, with your permission, in his ultra-durable resin, ONLY for those who were able to prove both original ownership and total loss, as in, the helmet could only be used for even display if it were completely stripped of paint, glued back together, repainted, and never touched again for fear of it falling back apart.

i think i see what you are saying...then i will be up for a V2 and be put on the list for wanting one.... but i would still like an original :D
 
Hey MS, nice to see you back man! I think everyone has echoed some valid feelings in regards to the original helmet. I could get behind a 10% changed helmet on a limited run as there's no reason that others can't share in the fruits of your labor.
 
I think ultimately Marrow Sun is the maker of the helmet and he should be able to do whatever he wants with it. You never know, he might could use the money from selling these helmets and I don't think anyone should get in the way of that. But either way, I would buy an original or a modded version because I've held and worn Novall's helmet and it is niiiice!

and I've had to wipe my drool of of Ceric's the originals just ooze awesome sauce so I'd love to try & get a hold of a 10% mod one
 
I would be interested in a modified or an original version myself. Love the look of the original! An updated version could only get better. Either way, put me on a list!
 
Just to put all doubt to rest, I will simply retool the original helmet and mold it up. This way I will not be stepping on anyones toes by possibly breaking promises. That being said, as this really is a second run of a known helmet I will do runs, but there will not be a limit to the number of runs I might potentially do. This protects the last remaining MSC helmets keeping them rare.

THanks,

MS

Put me on the interested list. I can send you a PM if you'd like with some of the weak points I discovered by accident, so that you can look into fixing them when you retool the helmet.
 
I would really be interested in one as well depending on the price. Not sure I could swing $300 for a helmet as my wife would beat me over the head with after I got it, but that might still be worth it. Agreed that even with a 10% change would be awesome. As long as it looks like the same line of helmets but completely different I would still be up for it.

I've never publicly stated a price but I can tell you it will be conciderably less than $300 when ... if this happens
