We produced a low run of King Konga back in '01... about 25 with no pedestal base and about 50 with the pedestal base (as shown in the photo below). If we run him again, I'd like to keep the total run to approximately 50 as the latex tooling will start decomposing if we produce more, thus affecting the quality. We'd produce him here locally and to pay for a new tool, California production, Squid royalty & then do the handstaining in-house. I'd have to offer him likely somewhere between $75-$100 depending upon final costing. As I've been in the "mug zone" for so long now, I'm reaching out to you tc'ers to get your thoughts before I possibly jump-in. [ Edited by: MakeDaMug 2008-07-30 14:52 ]
