Sometimes it can be hard to get a reply fom them.
Just keep at it.

When I inquired last, they told me that some of the statues had already been retired. I also believe that they come unassembled and unpainted; one guy I talked to said that he spent something like $400 to get ONE of them painted. Who knows if any of it's true, but I backed off because of all of the seeming extra work involved.

thanks for the information... i sent them an email

yeah if that is the case, with them being sent out like that i may give it a miss to.

I am pretty sure i saw someone on here had one of Leo painted close to toon colors? looked amazing

And Navin is right. I tried for like 6 months to get a response (but also not sound like a pest) and eventually I got through.

I infact just got Leo in the mail yesterday, Donny a few weeks ago and Raph is on the way (waiting on mikes release!)

They do come unassembled and it is definitely work to build the kit and paint it. I enjoy projects like this so I knew what I was getting into but it is a lot of man hours. With that being said the kit being assembled and a professional paint job would definitely cost you unless you are able and willing to do it yourself. You can find artists willing to paint for less but you get what you pay for

As am I.. I've actually spent most of today cleaning the Leo kit and will be moving onto Donny next. If you dont already have them I recommend a dremmel, a modeling/ craft knife and some sandpaper... it will make the job a lot easier for you especially the dremmel

Thanks so much for the advice. Are you painting them a similar color to how they are on the website? Keeping red bandannas to?

post some progression pic's if you get a chance.

No problem. I love building kits like this but unless you've done it before you might be intimidated. The most important tool for these is your own patience.
I haven't fully made my mind up on the bandana color. I was introduced to them with multicolor bandanas but honestly these have such a dark tone to them that I might go with a deep red for all of them. Another matter that I'm trying to decide is their skin tones. I'm not sure if I should keep them all the same or have some differences. I dont want something as drastic as what the Playmates toys did but some variation may not be bad either... Its a work in progress but if I do keep them all the same Ill be waiting to paint these guys until Mikey is released so I dont have to try and match

I absolutely will... I think I finally finished cleaning Leo and Donny... I need to work work on their assembly and minor sculpting to the connection points and bandana knots. Plus theres a few airbubbles in the resin so I'll fill those too.

I think I will go with toon colors plus I did want to give them all different skin tones. Will keep you updated on my progress.
