Wattographs New CS piece!!!! Jabba!!

[Joshua_B]

They have gotten some amazing signers for this Jabba series.

Mike Edmonds (Jabba's tail and the first signer to repeat during a Connoisseur Series)
Dave Barclay (Chief Jabba puppeteer)
Toby Philpott (Jabba's Head & Arm)
Howie Hammerman (Jabba's burps!)
John Coppinger (Jabba sculptor)
Jez-Gibson Harris
Bob Keen
Richard Padbury
Mike Quinn
Tom McLaughlin (Fiberglass & Foam)

Getting Bob Keen is amazing, can't wait for this to get started!

Should be a great boost to those that have already started a Jabba photo too.

Oh, Heck Yeah!!

This is goona be AWSOME....cant wait to add a bunch of sigs to my 16x20

 

[Spiffy]

Money well spent.

 

[Abstractharmony]

I don't like their choice of photo.

But this is a stellar CS.

 

[Only1Kenobi]

Good stuff!

 

[Joshua_B]

I don't like their choice of photo.

But this is a stellar CS.

Only photo OP really has for this. You can ask Ben if he could look for some new photos in the archive for us. That would be cool.

 

[Abstractharmony]

SW-1260 would have been a better one.

 

[Joshua_B]

heh, not much difference between 1260 and 1001...just lighting I guess. but ya, there isn't much choice for this piece. I wish there were more but they can't do anything aobut it.

 

[Archer]

This looks like a cool piece. Most of my photos are either 8x10 or 11x14.
Is 11x14 big enough or is everyone pretty much going with a 16x20 on this one?

 

[Holla300]

I ordered an 16x20.

I just hope it doesn't take forever to finish like the others.

 

[Kronet]

Definitely going to be in for this, but I'd rather send in my own photo.

Could someone tell me how to contact Wattographs? I've used their Contact Form before but didn't get a reply. Do they have a phone number?

 

[zhamlau]

just ordered. im not a huge send in or limited signing guy...but this is one of thoes products you would be nuts to pass on. i can honestly say im more excited about getting this piece then any other ive gotten this year. well done gary. Seriously, first the ewok piece, then the mcdiarmid from OP, then Harrison ford...its just really neat to see all the options available for such a wide base of star wars autograph collectors now versus even 5-10 years ago. cant wait to see this when its done.

 

[Joshua_B]

I ordered an 16x20.

Well, they usually do 2 signers a month. Kinda hard to do any more than that really with shipping times. So I would expect it to be around 6 months before its done.

The other cool thing about it is you don't have to come up with the money for a cool piece like this. Just pay monthly for that duration and its not so hard on the pocket book. I think the Ewoks one came out to like $500 or so when it was done but I have seen 3 or 4 sell for about $1000 on secondary market. I am so sorry I didn't get in on that one.

 

[jedibill]

what color do you guys think would look best??

 

[dxdave]

I'm thinking about adding all of them to my 16X20 SW 1415 shot since these group of signers played multi parts with the palace crew! What a great opporunity!

 

[madchimp]

Gotta go with the biggest size you can afford/have room for. I have the Ewoks piece, and am so glad I went with the 16x20 to allow space around the autos.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I opted to order one of the canvas banners. I don't know where I will put it, but I like the imagery on it.

At the risk of sounding like a dope... how is the billing working for this? It says it's for the 1st two signers then billing each month for the next 2 and so on. Does that work out to $80 each month? It's a great opportunity, I just want to be sure I know how it all works.

thanks in advance.

In the past, the CS has worked like this:

1. First payment includes photo and first two signers.($79.99 for 16x20 of Jabba)
2. Second and subsequent rounds = Cost of next two signers plus share of shipping (Est. $40-$60/mo)

As a guess, you could probably figure $20-30 per person plus the cost of the photo...give or take. Cost per signer depends upon signer's rate. There is some shared shipping in there as well.

Hope that helps. It would not be the $79.99 each round.

Usually, the sigs fall in the $25-35 per graph range ($50-70 per month), depending on who the signers are. Don't forget, your $80 covers the photo as well as the two graphs upon initial purchase.

 

[tk0316]

what color do you guys think would look best??

im saying silver to offset any chance of a dark area affecting the signature but i look to the group for their input also

 

[Joshua_B]

I would love Liquid Copper Deco on that photo....just love that pen color

 

[dfmaverick]

I have been tempted to buy that color every time I see it when buying Decos. I, too, think it looks great, but I mainly stick to gold. One of these times, I'll have to pick up the copper.

 

[Cperry06]

Wow, I can't beleive they got Bob Keen, I am so IN!!!

 

[Cperry06]

What did Richard Padbury do? I did not have him on my Jabba list. I also hope Howie Hammerman signs a full sig, I got him before and he only signed "Howie".

 

[dxdave]

I'm curious to know this and if all of these signers would be suitable for that 16X20 I had Corey get me signed of the palace crew. Anyone know for certain?

 

[Joshua_B]

Wow, I can't beleive they got Bob Keen, I am so IN!!!

Bob Keen is just huge. I have like 25 Yoda photos I need him on. Not counting posters. He is a real tuffy for Yoda and Jabba collectors. Only other person I have seen come up with him was Maki on a few signed photos he got at CE.

Thanks for clearing it up for me. Your help is much appreciated.

 

[JustinH]

Ouch..120 for the Canvas? It is half that price on Zazzle.com

 

[sucho23]

That canvas price comes with two signatures though through Wattos.

 

[JustinH]

Ah that's a much better deal...Although I can see some people being confused by their wording. Under the one price they list all signers and their wording can mislead people to think all signers will sign for that one price.

 

[DarthPotts1975]

After giving it some thought I'm leaning towards doing the CS piece in addition to my 16x20 of Jabba's Palace.

Probably sounds like I'm going a little overboard but I'm a Jabba freak!!....Haha!!

I did the same thing by getting the CS Crumb piece as well as adding them to my Palace photo.

There's no such thing as too much Jabba stuff in your collection........Lol

 

[Joshua_B]

I have thought of sending in another photo or poster too. Most of these guys don't sign too often.

Again, does anyone know what Richard Padbury worked on in regards to Jabba? Also, what did Bob Keen do with Yoda?

 

[sucho23]

According to Barclay's site Padbury controlled Jabba's smoke, for what its worth. It looks like to get a full CS piece you would also have to add Mike Osborn and Tim Rose according to Barclay. Also Scott Schumann.

 

[Joshua_B]

Bob Keen made most of the mechanical parts that moved yoda, he also help construct the puppet itself.

 

[Joshua_B]

So how do you suppose Tim Rose did Salacious Crumb and Jabba? Wierd.

 

[sucho23]

Yeah, According to Barclays site, Rose did Crumb and assisted Edmonds on Jabba's tail.
