Just the big ones.

I wish I coudl go to full resin production though. Ever since I first laid eyes on a resin castign of one of my figures I have wanted to do that. Metal REALLY does NOT hodl a candle to the fidelity of resin to the original. No comparison.

Not much really. Metal prices are sky rocketing, out sourcign production is a HYUGE pain in the ass, only two people in the industry ( production side ) seem to give a damn whether I make a success of RBG or not and one fo them is sellign me on resin every time we speak!

Basically I look at my current catalogue and see teh huge investment in metal. I have not yet recouped thsi investment to the fullest possibel extent, so switchign to resin seems also liek I have left money on the table.....But there again is the metal price..... It is absolutely insane! I was quoted $25 per lb under 40lb quantities, $21. per lb between 40 and 199 lb quanitites and $19.75 per lb for quantities of 200lbs or more ( and there is a limite to how much you can buy. ) That puts metal at a VERY scary cost level. Sure it fluctuates but damned!

The main concern though is whether or not people will react positively to resin product. I woudl LOEV to be abel to switch to resin, btu it is a tricksome beast.
