Dr. Dude
Bally, 1990Quoted from TroopMac:I purchased one from the guy in Germany. It was a little rough but not too bad. I painted it and it turned out alright. I can get a pic if you need one. I think I paid $25 shipped.
I would like one of these Big Shot figures. I would love to see your picts of it.
Maybe Izzy & I can get 2 shipped. Izzy?
I saw a sad sight at the local acrade/barcade: "Big Shot's" last stand!
I knew NOS replacements were getting harder to come by, and prices are raising. But, Imagine my amazement to see $200 and $350 auctions over on eBay today!
There is a third auction for a reproduction figure on eBay too. Much better price; an awesome compromise for anyone looking for an authentic-look and complete PF.
Okay Ive owned my Dr Dude for 16 hours at this point and Ive decided to go ahead with making some Mr Big Shot recreations.
That Mr Big Shot thinks hes so friggin special but he isnt. For anyone who wants to tackle this project with their own 3D Printer - here is the .obj file that I pulled from the VPX version of Dr Dude - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoaN3QWnEIMIhMwBYH-APv4ZsFNUXA
I am talking to 3D printers to see if it can be done and an approximate cost - feel free to send me a message if anyone is interested in one and I will get back with details when I have them
Hey mitchzizzle ! Any chance you would want to share the file you used ? Looks awesome and could use a replacement. Mine broken in half and has been superglued many times ! lol
Just FYI, I found a seller on Etsy (Brady @ FactoryOfFun) that was willing to take on getting the Big Shot toy reproduced. After sending me a few prototypes, he arrived at a beautiful finished product. It's solid (not hollow like the original), hand painted, and fits perfectly. A great upgrade.
