opinions please! Retro/geekery

[smiles7964]

Hi

I would like some of your opinions please. I enjoy making various crafts and already sell miniture tv/film etc characters, but would also like to start selling 80's/90's retro related and geeky things. I'm unsure as to exactly what though. I am pretty good with most crafts, esp painting designs on various surfaces. Has anyone got any ideas as to what I could make, esp things you just don't find online that you wish you could buy? I'd esp like to make 80's/90's tv/film/game related things. I'd be grateful for any comments. Thanks.

Personally, i would like to see a really good version of Pin Head from the Hellraiser films. The ones i have seen online arent up to much, and cost a fortune.

Hi

Thanks for all of your ideas. I had planned on doing a few of the suggestions actually. I doubt I am allowed to post a link to my current site, but I'll put some pictures on. So far I have only made Lady Gaga ones and various other singers, apart from men in black. But before long I am going to make a whole new batch and website and hopefully start selling on a bigger scale, concentrating on more sci-fi/geeky/cult stuff as that is what I'm really into. If anyone has any ideas of other crafty things I could make on the subject, other than figures, I'd like to hear them! Thanks

Re: opinions please! Retro/geekery

Ive a feeling that if you are planning on making something from tv/music/movies etc then they would all have some sort of copyright stopping anyone making anything to do with said person/brand.

Id look into it first before making money of it as you may end up owing more than you made.
