The only thing I see that is a cause for controversy is saying it will be exactly like Bob C\'s version, why not just base it off the film, and say it\'s an upcoming Tall Man bust? Bob C\'s version is great to look at for detail and design of course, but to say it will be exactly the same is not only putting a ton of pressure on Erich, but just doesn\'t ring well ya know?
Paying for a piece sight unseen can be risky, but with Erich\'s portfolio, reputation, and skill, it\'s a real good bet. I\'m actually having Erich sculpt a Greedo mask and hands from Star Wars right now, did the exact same thing as this, got 10 guys to go in with 50% down, and Erich is sculpting the set right now! Didn\'t do a comparison with another piece though, I posted a link to Erich\'s site, and pictures of the Admiral Ackbar mask and hands set to show the caliber of his work and talent. From that people could see and decide to take the chance on a set before seeing a sculpt, judging by Erich\'s own work, not from another artists, know what I mean? Hope this goes great, I would love to see another Tall Man bust, and Erich\'s work on it!
