Fellow customizers, I have the great privilege to present a set of customs by the talented team from Fox & Otter Studios.

First, a quick backstory:

Up until this year, I've felt that there was enough offering in the club's FSS service to sign up, figuring I'd keep the ones I wanted and selling the rest. As a matter of fact, I was part of a group that went in on 3-4 sets every year, and divided them up based on what particular figures everyone in the group wanted. And then this year rolled around, and I maybe wanted two of the figures. And of course they were the same couple that everyone wanted, so to fill the requests, I'd have had to sign up for 4-6 subscriptions, and because I have had such little luck selling off the remnants of the other sets (also available on the club site) I decided that I didn't want to subscribe to the FSS this year, and dissolved our FSS group.

One of the members of that group, who was also 'non-plussed' with this year's offering, felt he could do much better with a selection of figures.

So I said 'OK.' I'm getting a set of 12 figures and a Mystery 13th from Fox & Otter Studios instead. (actually, they're all mystery -- I had/have no idea what was/is coming, I just trust/ed them)

And the money that I had set aside for the club's FSS I sent to them instead.

Round 1 of my AltFSS showed up the other day, danielb and RoxiT, take a bow, I'm blown away:

The builds on this pair are amazing. The paintwork is amazing. The filecards are amazing.

My two single favorite parts? The custom base for each, and the addition of the holster behind the bow case for NCE.

*danb cautioned me to be careful opening Finch's case ... yes, that's a 1:18 jump drive.

What do you guys think?

Well, I'm not certain, but I *think* this is a unique set.

That being said, I bet you could pm danielb for further information.

Very cool concepts. I like the swap-able gear on Sneak Peek. The idea of him going undercover is a neat one.

no doubt you are in for a treat. The fact you won't be able to even realize how much of it is original sculpt work is what will set this project apart.

I asked danielb some questions about these :

Jm7o wrote:
Why start the AltFSS before the cub FSS? Why did you make these characters? Why did you decide to lead the AltFSS with them? What are the base figure parts? What parts are modded? How did you make the little periscope? What's the ratio of fox vs otter in the figures? the card? the bio? How soon will the next one(s) arrive? Also, btw, that card is super quality -



danielb wrote:

I didn't know when the club was shipping, i had been told it would be november.

I lead with these two for a variety of reasons, Sneak Peek is the only figure going directly against a club release, he is essentially an LBC, just with more thought behind his design and in how the character would function in general. The Cadre is basically how i use range vipers. So up dating a range viper into a sensible outfit with a more modern approach to their concept was fun for me. Plus the two play off of each other, for the most part I have a small vs. Story in my head for all of the pairings. With a larger story in my head for the set.

SP is all 50th 3 pack grey viper, with a starwars head and updated gear. RV Cadre is renegades ripcord torso and upper arms, retaliation joe trooper legs, and poc recondo lower arms, with a custom sculpted head. And gear..
I want all figures to have a unique head, and as many underused parts and accessories as I can . While at the same time utilizing certain basic parts that can and should be used more often.

Other than neck socket mods on SP he is all pretty basic, RVCadre has a sculpt and cast head.

The smaller periscope is a big ben machine gun barrel with scope bits attached. The barrel has pegs so it was just a matter of adding holes to the scope bits, and gluing them onto the pegs.

As for the ratio, fox did the card back design, i did the card art painting. Fox sculpted and cast the RVC head, i did the rest.

The next two could ship next monday, but i will try to stick with the clubs schedule.


and a couple of brief additional notes:

[SP] I actually cut gear from his original design. I wanted to do a brief case with a little drone, but it was just sooo much stuff with him. [little periscope] it should be tough, melted and glued -- the lenses are on pegs not just loose. [big periscope] yeah the big one is j mans ...i think it works for what it is
