See this thread for an overview of this project:

The actual action figure hasn't been aquired yet; I'll go to Walmart and pick an appropriate one tomorrow.
For this thread, I need to know who's willing/able to participate.
To be involved in this, you need to be willing to:
- Take pictures of or with HLP Carl, and post them in the thread (when it's created)
- Pay for postage of Carl to the next forum member on the list (the distance he travels will be fairly close, with the exception of one or two people that have to pay for international shipping. For a 6 ounce action figure it will only be a few dollars
- The above has to be done quickly. Within a day or two of receiving Carl. That way in 1 week, a minimum of 2 people have a chance of getting Carl. If we take too long, this could easily get drawn out over years, which I don't want. Ex: Receive Carl on Monday. Take pictures with him on Monday and Tuesday, mail him Tuesday evening or Wednesday latest.
If you want to participate, please post your country of residence - That way I can make sure HLP Carl does all his traveling within a certain country at one time, instead of going back and forth (i.e. more expensive, and more delays)
So I'll begin -

By the way, let's not use an anonymous action figure. We can pass Venom/Nico's Shivan model through the Pepakura Designer (http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/) or something similar, and create our own Shivan action figure. :)
-
I second that motion!

You go ahead and get on that in that case :)
Not made of paper though; it needs to be able to be in water.
-
Man, I wish I could do this, but my parents would flip if I got an anonymous parcel from shady internet people.
-
Eh, my mom probably wouldn't mind it, but my grandma would flip :blah:
-
Hence the advantage of living alone (or with a roommate) :D
-
Or being over 18 :)
And yes, Hippo, been here for the last 11-12 years ;) Since FS1 actually :)
-
i'm not terribly far north of you then
-
So a Carl handoff could be very inexpensive for one of us ;)
-

D'oh.
Anybody know of any plastic-compatible model prototyping system?
-
i'd volunteer my pepakura'd orion if i had finished it
-
I still think it should be a GI Joe, or something, named Polpolion.
-

Plastic ain't necessary.
Get it made out of paper and have it laminated. That should seal it adequately.
-
I agree with swantz. :D And no paper. NO. Even with lamination, that would fall apart too easily.
And I would like to say this: Detroit Michigan, USA
Unfortunatly, I am going to be out of town at semi-irregular scheduals in the upcoming weeks, so if you can fit me in, great, if not, don't sweat it. :)
Dates I am out of town:
July 24 -> August 6
August 17 -> August 23
August 27 -> August 31

Well, here is what Admiral Nelson found:
http://www.modellabs.com/modellabs/Welcome.html
All we need is the high-poly Shivan in STL format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)).
-
OMG this might be the origin of the Shivan race. A little innocent fun with a realistic looking doll mixed with some DNA in the machine and poof instant real Shivan. Carl could be the Father of the race. Explains how he fits so well in those small air ducts. :pimp:
-
And why he prefers lunchocide to genocide?
-
keep it on-topic people; keep discussions on what HLP Carl should look like to the other thread please!
-
I just want to add that I'll be out of town from August 2nd to the 16th. Hopefully this won't be a problem, but if it is feel free to skip me out in the lineup.
-
bump
-
Am I going to be added to the list? :(
-
i haven't updated it yet; waiting for a few more people. hang tight.
we need 25 or so total
-
I'm not available until August 24th, but...
since he doesn't mind, lives close, and agreed with me about this on AIM, Put me immediately after Watsisname (to be handed off no earlier than that date)
-
id join but id probably screw the whole thing up
-
IF S-99 and Rictor joined, postage wouldn't be much for you guys, it could go from you to S-99 to Rictor to whoever in Washington.
-
New York (USA of course) until September
September and later, Florida (again USA).
-
Admiral Wolf, GTA 3rd fleet Beta Aquilai
