Guest guest Report post Posted December 6, 2002 I am definitely up for it -- we need to speak with the artists at Madame Tussaud's, though if you really want these things life-like -- unless we are cloning, of course, which would save us A LOT of trouble. tee-hee! jojo nikki_mackovitch <nikkimack wrote: Good Morning JoJo!Hmmm.... sounds like that might just work!These will definately be to scale er else the idea won't work. i am thinking more or less forgetting the packaging and flying them to their destinations. After all, they are an exact replica of the person they are taking the blame for etc. So the actual styling will need to modified a little for each. Shipping and handling (er plane tickets) are to be included in the purchase price.Think yer up fer it?nikki :)Once what you have learned finds its emotional place, it is never forgotten.F.

I really like the concept of the various incarnations of twins. I think that would appeal to a MUCH wider target market. Apathetic twin, for instance, should be dressed in neutrals -- maybe a Gap logo on the shirt. Definitely a cell phone in hand. GD should be carrying a canvas shopping bag with an earth-y graphic on it. ET? Definitely a suit. And probably a notebook computer. But what about packaging? Are these things to scale or what? If you want to box these up, it will be really expensive -- you'll have to consider that when your figuring in the wholesale pricing of these things...

Guest guest Report post Posted December 6, 2002 Hi Jojo / Fraggle > Well, the thing is that these items will be relatively delicate and placing them in an individual box would be like loss > prevention, you know? It would really help protect them. Very simple - make the packaging out of thick layers of rice paper, TVP, etc. and then the ET, DG, AT, HWT (etc.) can consume the packaging as a source of nutrients - it will save the consumer the cost of feeding for the first couple of weeks (so we can charge more), and of course be totally biodegradable.

That was the plan, but if you think there might be a market for Miniature Evil Twin, I don't see why we couldn't do that as well.

I believe our best bet is to build them from lollipop sticks - it may be time consuming, but in the end you'll get the best product possible.
