Great work and video GRR.
These guys were a little out of my budget but the custom is great to see!

So are there 50 total or 50 of each version? I needs me some Landsharks.

How'd you get the idea of using BH Bulkhead for Landshark? It's... genius! :APPLAUSE:

I'm confused. Is this a custom you made, or is it a conference exclusive? Or did you customize a conference exclusive? Or you're making custom figures and selling them at the conference?

Custom figures that are exclusives for the Charticon convention up in Charlotte, NC.

Those are so beautiful, I'd love to get one in my possession. Unfortunately, that's about a 12 hr drive for me. But best of luck and keep crankin' out these wonderful customs you've built.

Those look incredible.. I would love to go and get one.. Unfortunately it is too long a drive for me right now.

So they're all hand-painted?

glad that someone finally did it! and they really do look fantastic. I think the original head in new colours would work fine, but these guys look the part even more with the new heads.

Thanks guys. The idea came to me after using a PRiD voyager bulkhead to make a super cute Omega Supreme custom. Eric Warren (super nice guy) asked if I was bringing anything to the show to sell and I really wanted to do a Sharkticon. My first thought was PRid Bulkhead, but the cost and availability wasn't doable. SO, Beast Hunters Bulkheads were everywhere and I think worked even better.

To Clarify, there are 50 boxed Landsharks. 10 Carded Comm. Landsharks and 100 Do-It-Yourself kits with the three new produced parts (head Gun and Mace) and a paint guide with the exact paint codes to duplicate the design with a BH Deluxe Bulkhead. I might be making extra DiY kits but I think I've painted enough Bulkheads. Interesting factoids:
50 landsharks
1500 = parts exactly.
10 comm. Landsharks
300 = parts
New parts=180
1980 individual parts. All dissambled, cleaned, toothpick airbrushed with multiple masks and layers hand brush details, protective coats, reassembled and packaged by ONE person in 6 weeks. Including designing the boxes and drawing the artwork. I've spent 100's of hours on this and found time to cast 300 additional DiY parts. For a grand total of 2280 parts handled by yours truly. Oddly enough, the boxes cost more than original OEM Bulkheads did! Here's the video of the cute Omega if anyone is interested. Thanks for the support peoples, and hope atleast some of you guys can come by and check out the booth! Especially you RhA =P~
