I've been holding it for you for a few years now! Actually, I have TWO.
When I first got all five, there was a Demona with Black hair, Lex, Brooklyn, and two Hudsons. I regret selling the Demona, and I've always wanted to sell them all... but procrastination and my love of Gargoyles made me not do it. You asked TWICE to buy Hudson, and after the second time, I "figured" I'd just hold on to it in case you wanted it again.
"If it wasn't for Greg Bishansky, it would still be gathering dust."
I'll send you the better of the two. Both have sat on my shelf for years and are quite dusty, although in great shape.

It actually occurred to me that the Kenner Lexington is in scale with these customs. He always was a bit large, if you imagined him standing up straight, next to the other Kenner figures, but seems perfect height-wise for these customs. Whew, that's one I can cross off the potential customs list.
I'd love to see Demona's Clan, too. They're not on my tentative list, however. I have no idea when I'll be able to afford another one, though I will commission more; sooner or later. I will say this, if I ever commission Thailog, he's definitely going to be wearing the armor.

Matt> I can wait, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who is eager to see them. :D
I have a Coldstone, he is very detailed. Compared to many others of these figures he's pretty cool; probably everyone who owns him will tell you that. But I think it's a bit strange that they made a figure of Coldstone, but none of characters that appeared in a similar frequency, like Thailog or Talon, or any Pack member... I don't like Talon, but I like Thailog, and action figures of the Pack would be cool.
Of course I'd still be happiest if there were figures of Demona's Clan (and other medieval characters), but I know that these characters would not have had the slightest chance for ever being turned into official action figures. It's a wonder that Macbeth is available as one although that figure is not good.
And does anyone besides me think that the Bronx figure looks too bulky and the teeth are espically too big? He almost looks like a mutant hippo. But many people like this figure.

Battle Beast> <<are they very expensive?>>
Yes, they are.
As for what's coming next. I have a wish list of characters that I intend to commission when I can, as I can. I'd rather not share it at the moment because, and just surprise people with who comes next. I don't know when the next one will be or who it will be yet.
Gargoyles cost more than humans because they require a lot more work and a lot more of his time. Not to mention that finding wings is very hard. And since we're doing these in a different scale than Kenner, I can't really mix and match these with the Kenner figures. Not that I particularly want to anyway, I wasn't satisfied with that line.

Count me in as someone who would love to see some more gargoyle Gargoyles figures. Kermit would be cool. And that's even though I made a custom Kermit out of a Lexington figure and some Brook pieces long ago. It turned out alright, but I'd love to see a more professional job. True would be fun to have. Ophelia. Boidecca. Kai. Any of the English gargoyles. And Zafiro.
And a Redemption Squad era Fang would be very cool.
And in case you are wondering, these are the custom figures I made years ago: Kermit, Second, Angela (who didn't do a Demona repaint), Thailog (again, easiest repaint ever), Boidecca, Zafiro and a Coldstone (using pieces of a Goliath, a Steel Clan robot and some sculpty). I also made several gargoyles of my own invention including a green Ishimuran female, an English gargoyle in the likeness of a heraldic bull, a female gargoyle based on a Lexington figure but with blue-green skin, brown hair and a small crest, a beefy and dark green gargoyle with Goliath's body and wings and Brooklyn's head and probably several more I'm forgetting. They are all in a box in my mom's basement, so I can't check right now.
