Default Fiberglass Cobra And Pony

An artist came to our company wanting to help him mass produce these signs for him. The Cobra is 36" tall and the Pony is about 65" wide. They are both pretty good sized and I think would be more marketable at about half the sizes. These are 100% hand made currently out of fiberglass and hand painted to order. The guy pitched them to Ford and they head honchos loved them but he can not make them far enough. What do you guys think about these? Would you buy one? How much would you pay for one?

Check out the artists myspace for more pictures.

Yea, I'd buy them. Hell I'd have to see them, but off the top my head up to $20.00.

I'm not big on the Cobra but then again I might if I owned a cobra lol
but I really like the running horse but I wouldn't know where to put it.
and as for a price I would like 35.00 for the horse if it was paint how I wanted.

These 2 were just samples that were brought to us, we would be able to do different colors. A price tag of anything less than $200 would just not be feasible for these products. Our cost to our warehouse would be way more than $35 and you would have to include licensing and everything.

$200 is WAY too expensive. That sucks.

When you say sign, what do you mean? $200 would be outta my range for sure, and I'm willing to throw down some cash for "art" when it lights my fancy. At $200, the artist would have to be someone rather notable or the piece would have to be a sculpture, or it'd have to be something done by hand like a painting. But if it's $200 for a lithograph, mmm.
