Likewise the madball scale of the beholder! If only N2 hadn't cut costs! I'm sorry to hear you had a bad time with them. I guess the proof is in the pudding! They're long out of business and people are still paying top dollar for the Lo Pan figure you sculpted way back when (even with the cost cutting changes!). That's so cool you met James Hong and he knew about the figure and liked it! Thank for sharing this!<br /><br />What other stuff have you worked on over the years that we might have seen? Or still own?

Cost cutting everywhere, and they owed me money and I had to hold onto this sculpture until they paid me ( wired money from China ). I did this sculpture twice the size about 12 inches. The beholder was supposed to be large about the size of a madball. But cost cutting made it into a marble.Lo pan also had legs feet and his oversized boots. I was surprised to see when the toy was released that the feet were edited out because of cost. Best thing about it was I discovered a new technique doing patterns on clothing. Many years later I met James Hong at San Diego Comicon, And he told me he always like that figure. Anyway, great shots of the figure anyway.

Or just keep them. It's really up to you.
