Isn't that the little packet that says "Do Not Eat"? Should you just swish it around in your mouth for a bit, or just apply to the lips and let the magic do its thang?

no silly, you just buy the pack and youre sorted!;)

Well, I'm running way behind my intended schedule (which was to launch in January) but that was kinda expected what with setting up a new company and dealing with all sorts of people. The website is going to be up at the end of March with Henrietta Jekyll up to order at that point. She's on an initial limited run of 250 and I will be shipping her out mid April unless she happens to sell out before then, in which case that's when she'll be shipped.

There will hopefully be a model a month out from then on for the first 6 releases.

I wasn't going to Salute, but then you just mentioned it, and now I think I might get a ticket. I've been curious for a few years but never been before so might have an explore. It's Saturday 21 April right? I may even paint up one of my own models and enter it in the comp :D

And/Or are you going to Salute?
I have my Salute tickets, so hopefully I'll see you there! :) I may bring a batch of her with me if that's going to be better than sending her through the post to people. I'm also going to be entering my paint job of her in the painting comp. Oh and I'll bring the one I've just had painted up by a multiple Slayer Sword winner too. :D

Was talking to pete about the paintjob the other day, cant wait to see the whole thing finished. (I keep reminding him that he's going to salute every day and that he doesnt have a choice)

Alex - Ha! Keep up the pressure. :D The paint job is finished now and looks really good. As I prefaced that message to Pete with something along the lines of 'keep it secret, keep it safe' and he showed you anyway... sigh! You've probably been shown the finished paint job too by now. It's nice that he's being enthusiastic and wanting to share to tell the truth so I'm not really cross with him.

The first run of the model is 275 and I'm only selling 250 through the website, so I'll have a decent amount to bring along to Salute should it be required. Two reserved for you Mike. :)

Unfortunately I do, yes! ;)

He's done a blinding job on the model. I'm really pleased. My plan was to use different painters for each mini, but I may have to give that some fresh reconsideration as I'm massively chuffed with the quality to price ratio. Tell Pedro to show you the finished job on my Facebook if you fancy a look, or just add me.

Iono, will cmon be carrying your new mini or is it only through your website? Any idea on shipping costs to the USA?

I contacted CMoN in the early days of my setup but didn't hear anything back so she will just be available from my site at the moment. Perhaps once I have a few products on the go things will change. I don't have exact shipping costs finalised just yet, but I'm hoping to keep them as low as possible whilst ensuring good delivery times.

I want to be as transparent and fair as possible with everything about the company, so overseas people should be aware that I will be releasing minis every month from April. Although they will be limited runs at first, if those sell out I'll get them re-cast some time later, so they won't be totally unavailable forever. Therefore, if shipping cost was an issue and you wanted to wait for a while, you'd be able to get a few models at once and combine the shipping costs further down the line. :)
