In this case, it's not really to make it look acceptable but to have alternate heads, some of which imports don't have and Hasbro still considers, against all evidence, a premium
A shame these are just for Legends because I'd love an alternate head with cigar for the Might Fix Wolverine.

You can get alternate heads for cheaper than half the cost that it would take for you to buy this guy's heads.

I got Cowboy Wolverine for 10 dollars on clearance, and use the alternate head (pic related) for a way better looking unmasked animated/aggro look than the terrible vagina eye head that came with the 3-pack.

Sure, but it's the base cost he's charging. You aren't going to get it for less just because he's painting it. It the bare minimum cost of the head itself for the customer.
>>9615118
Here's the thing; it doesn't matter if you're multitasking and doing other jobs at the same time, just that the job takes that long. You are paying for the allotted time. So lets say Anthony does two other heads in the same time. But all those heads will take a required amount of time between the first layer, letting it dry, the detailing, letting that dry, sealing it, letting the seal dry, packing , etc. You are paying for his time he could put towards other things and make money from. That's why it costs the way it does.

Everything has risen across the board due to the pandemic yes, and yet, this is the only action figure-related component that's asking for such a ridiculous markup. Especially when others have freight/shipping costs and don't ask anywhere near $55 a head.

Bruh, it's not that it's a "good" price (and I honestly don't like the sculpt), it's that $40 in extra labor is fair. Based on the quality of the paint job, about 2 hrs seems reasonable, and about $15/hr seems reasonable. I personally wouldn't buy it, but the pricing is logical.

It's really up to you if taking time out of your day to get paints, brushes, et cetera, wait for multuple coats to dry, do all the details, wait for them to dry, et cetera, on your own is worth saving $40 or if you'd just rather pay someone else to do it.

Literally take the time to learn to paint and just buy the unpainted head OR have another customizer paint it for you. If you think you can get someone to paint it for you cheaper than $40 then fucking do it. Holy shit.

What an annoying argument to read. He's not forcing anyone to pay the labor costs he feels are fair. He's literally giving people an option to do it themselves or get it done elsewhere.

So you expect someone selling heads, weapons and other small action figure parts, that cannot be delivered painted or even prepped, to invest in the most expensive method that Shapeways offers? To skyrocket the costs of their parts for a marginal increase in quality? You're literally posting a mass manufacturing option for large companies or companies that are selling components for the industrial sector and trying to compare it to making bits for action figures. Once again, you do not have context or knowledge, shut up and leave the thread. Your opinions are worthless.

My goalpost has been multimillion dollar company has more resources and more materials and more workers to create a product than whoever this anthony dude is since step one. Their injection moulding service costs thousands of dollars of overhead to enable much, much higher production rates. Someone selling a dozen heads a month does not need to utilize this and would actively be unprofitable to do so. Same reason that while yes, someone could purchase $10k moulding plates and another $20k in machinery to do the moulding, as well as thousands more for tampo and qualifications and staff to run it, that's fucking retarded for a single person in an apartment. Almost as retarded as you. Leave the thread, your opinion means nothing and is as uninformed as our seamonkey friend posting above.
