jovial_cynic Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Instead of posting each figurine in its own thread, I figured I'd just have a welded figurine thread with my latest greatest stuff. This figurine sold for $80. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Can you put a tape measure in the next one? I would like to get an idea of the height. Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well, I already shipped out that one... but it was about 12 inches tall, if that gives you an idea. That gives it about a 13 to 14 inch wingspan. Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 If you don't mind me asking, how much do you charge for them usually? Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Normally my figurines are stick figures (sheet metal and nails), and I charge $10 for a figurine, plus a few bucks for props (swords, hats, instruments, etc). Larger figurines cost more on account of the time I put into it. That Cthulhu figurine sold for $80, and it's the highest priced single figurine I've made so far. Here's an example of a simple figurine: By itself, I would charge $10 for the figurine, and $4 for the props (hat, hook, sword), and then I always charge $6 for shipping, so we're looking at about $20. And when somebody wants two figurines, I charge $6 for additional figurines. The cost of props stays the same, though. So the following set would cost $16 for the figurines themselves, $5 for the props (hat, hook, two swords), and $6 for shipping. So that'd be $27 for the set. Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I was busy this weekend. I cranked out another figurine. Clockwork Bird. You'd think I'd be working on my 510 instead of welding up figurines, but in fact, welding figurines is the only way for me to get money to buy parts for my 510. So it's all connected somehow.

Llittle_Llama Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 how much for the clockwork heart, and how big is it? i think i want an iron chef too.... love the ash, lol Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hmmmm, i like the atlas too.....2 of those would be nice...... Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 dwnshfter - let me know which ones you *actually* want, and i'll throw a quote your way. :) For reference, the clockwork heart was $45 before shipping. That one was a bit of work. But the standard people-sized figurines are a bit cheaper. Ash is an $18 figurine, Atlas is $19, the chef is $21. Shipping is $6, and is only applied once. Atlas is the only one currently in stock; I'd have to re-create the rest of them, since those were commissioned orders. Quote Link to comment
