Im taking some numbers before I undergo this project. Im gunna try and make her very show accurate, somewhat in scale, with a material skirt.
What kinda money would you pay for one of these. Of corse like Kat and Nova,she would be sculpted,painted,sealed and ready for play and display. If I like the numbers,ill undergo this project as quick as possible. And who would deffitally bid. :023:

You're supposed to do it for your love of PR with the monetary gain being afterthought.

Lol, like any custom I buy, 40-90$ is my range
BTW, if you make Elsa, are you going to make her when she got really sexy? (with the long hair)

Thad be a nice touch. But with my orders comming in, Im lucky if I get to make her staff. What I CAN tell you is..........
Shes gunna be multi-jointed for the best posing possible.
She'll be in scale with the 5 inch line.
Her skirt Will be cloth
She WILL Pwn your fucking Lord Zedd figure's ass.

Yeah, I was always disappointed with the Zedd figure... always looked so... misplaced
Luck on the project :)

I don't think you'll be getting any less than $200 for any Rita figure, period. I'm surprised that no one has customized one recently, actually. But if you're going to hold off on it so you can work on your abhorrent spelling and grammar, I think the fandom can wait just a little bit longer.
Neon Sentry
02-28-2006, 08:22 PM
I, actually, have a few concerns about the project... are you going to do each one as a custom build-up, or are you going to actually make molds and cast the pieces you need?
Hm... if this project actually gets finished, I'd like to tackle a Zedd figure (in 5 inch and 8 inch scale just to shut people up) on my own time... maybe it'll lead to some good things :D

Spelling and Grammar are for people who give a shit. I obviously dont. Would you rather have money,or good grammar? Lets be realistic.
200 sounds nice to me. :023:
As for if its a mock up or a casting,itll be a hand made item. With figures I like to do each diffrently. :)

:eusa_danc Some of the greatest artists alive live in boxes and speak spanish backwards, yet can craft a small man with his nose out of clay mixed with smashed children. That my friend, is talent. *Applauds*

Will there be a staff included?
Bradlee_Scott
03-01-2006, 12:12 PM
yes, we would need the staff too Andros...
I honestly would rather have a 12' line. Thats just cause I want Rita to kill Barbie... tha lil ho.
AndrosTheRedRanger
03-01-2006, 01:59 PM

Sure will be. Im haveing it NOT fit in her hands,but be a attachment (so its more like the lord zedd figure. Ya know with the plastic connectors? Im not going for OMG THE BEST LOOK EVER, I want it to fit in with the bandai line as close as I can get it.
Notthing I hate more then having one toy look outta place.:023:

The 5" Zedd's staff did fit in his hand though, as did the talking 8". It was only the first 8" that had the plastic connector.

Ah yes,thanks you sir!
Eighter way, I like the closed hand better. But thats just me.... But her staff will somehow clip onto her hand.

Update........ The main sculpt is almost done,Im just havin a hard time with the arms cause I want her to be multi-posable but still look like shes in a dress.
PS - To answer a question before,this will be YOUNG Rita. When she got re-juvinated.
The old Rita was awsome,but just is painfull to watch.
zeogo
03-10-2006, 03:42 PM
what size is she gonna be? 8" hopefully.
AndrosTheRedRanger
03-10-2006, 04:03 PM
Funny this thread gets bumped,Im sewing her dress right now.
Shes in a 5 inch scale,and i have to say looks almost IDENTICAL to the show. Her staff kinda sucks,becuase im doing so many projects at once,weapons never were my area.
I eventually will do a 8 inch Rita for thouse who want her, but due to the tons of material Ill have to use she'll be HELLA expensive.

Could you do the fandom a favor by watermarking any photos of this with "CUSTOM" so we don't have n00bs screaming it was a release for the rest of our natural lives? That'd be dandy.

Make sure they can't be cropped, if you're that worried about it... paste it right over Rita's face :D
Luck with this, I can't wait to see the pics :)
Abaranger
03-10-2006, 11:26 PM
Um andros...
Your not going to give rita a...."smile" are you? I find it reaaallllyy creepy for her to be smiling. Be it real or a figure of her :005:
AndrosTheRedRanger
03-11-2006, 02:09 AM
No she has a dead on look. Her make up was a bitch to do. To be honest She looks pretty much 1:1 to the young rita on the show.
I think you guys are gunna be really suprised. But I dont wanna leak pictures untill I sew the sleeves of her dress tommrow. I also just need to paint her staff (wich Im not a fan of,but like I said,Im a figure maker,not a weapon maker) And I need to make her hair ties (even though the hair is sculpted).
Im assuming since shes almost 1:1 if I sold it,shed go sky high. But to be honest, its so good Im not sure I wanna sell it. :023:
AndrosTheRedRanger
03-11-2006, 09:14 PM
Pictures will be up tommrow.
I tried to make a Dumpster box for her,but it was flimsy. So While her dress paint drys (yes I finally finished sewing it) Im gunna work on a box for her. It maybe sometime before I get to the box as my computer is pretty fried.

Make her the same size as my Snape figure - 6 1/2" tall. Then they can get married and rule the world! LOL
AndrosTheRedRanger
03-13-2006, 02:33 AM
Sorry,I decided to cut her up and make some more realistic parts today. Plus you guys are gunna LOVE the case im doing for her. I dont wanna spoil the suprise by half assing it.
Tommrow for sure,im just letting everything dry. Sorry for the wait...but I promise you,she makes Kat and Nova look amaturish (and they were amazing)
AndrosTheRedRanger
03-13-2006, 03:30 PM
Just finished her up. Rather then a carded figure,I decided to do a sealed dome for her with a montage of her and her baddies in the back. And I modified it by having a stand for the figure and staff for Maximum protection and display.
Im going to borrow the camera now. When I tell you this is the Best custom yet. I mean just that. Stay tuned the coutdown begins!

You set the bar quite high far yourself by saying this. It's better to let the pictures speak for themselves than to hype it up and put images in people's heads that are far greater than what you actually did.

I was JOKING! Sheesh, dude! I am well aware that Andros is more than capable of making a superior PR figure without my advice.
With that said, I am seriously interested in a Rita figure. I've wanted one for a long time. There are so few "great" PR/Sentai female figures that appeal to me. Rita is one, as is Magimother. So, I am quite excited to see the final product here.
(I'd still let Rita have her way with my Snape figure. I think those two were made for each other. :005: Of course, she'd leave him eventually for Voldemort. But still.)

his profile says New York, so same East Coast -0500 time as me, and he has 2 minutes left... I guess you could say I'm anxious to see this, as he's hyped it up so much, but his first custom left me wondering, his nova was good, but I just want to see for myself how this one compares...
