Just a quick note to clear up about a thousand misunderstandings.
In an age of small-screened Smartphones and Google Translate no posting is without miscommunication: We are still producing and selling ALL 25 inch Ultimate Bruce Sharks. We will be releasing updated yet different 3 foot sharks soon. We will be releasing updated yet different 1/6 Busts soon. We are selling off the last handful of unclaimed 3 foot sharks and 2015 Busts now through Wednesday as the last posted article details more below.

Plus a few other out-of-left-field SURPRISES ☺ > Here is one of our favorite photos of Cal Acord holding his own copy of our 3-foot Tow Sled Shark which he more than earned in guiding us through designing it to be historically perfect. -Mike V.

As you all know, when we announced that we were ending the runs on both the 3 foot sharks & the current 1/6 Bruce Busts we were then FLOODED with contacts. More than ever before!
However there have been the usual small number of "no-shows". A "No-Show" is someone that had previously begged for a shark replica but they are now not responding to their requested invoices. Who knows the reasons why people promise to commit yet cannot follow through. Yet, all this while MORE people are still contacting us wanting these particular production sharks every week! So Cathy and I have decided to give up on these no-shows and >relist< these already numbered & pending-sharks. In the case of these production runs closing we have those sharks cast already, but shelved without final assembly & painting- pending responses from their initial contacts. I'll know better by Wednesday the 11th what is left unclaimed and then will post up here what we have to offer. So if you are still wanting EITHER 3-foot shark or bust then PM us before then or catch us when we post up Wednesday. ** First come first serve. ** I won't have final numbers until then as that is our deadline for the no-shows we have written one last time to respond by. If this means you then contact us and whoever does so first and pays their invoice first gets their shark. I hope they go fast either before or when we list up on Wed 11th. Also, I now spend well over an hour a day answering PMs. Every single day. I am sorry but I cannot remember everyone's desires. If you contacted me before wanting one of these ended-production sharks then contact me again please. Cathy & I feel we have thought this through and believe it to be a fair offer seeing as these sharks already have their numbers and were part of the initial runs, yet unclaimed. Let us know if you disagree, or want one of the sharks. Thank you friends. ☺ PS: another cool photo of 3 of the 4 Ultimate Collection Set Bruce Sharks waiting their turn to be packed and shipped ☺. With the continued unparalleled success of the 25-inch Ultimate Bruce Shark Collector's Set complete-line, we now turn our attentions to the impending pre-order releases of the next 2016 Film Shark Catalog additions:
All New Items available for Pre-Order *SOON*! 1.] The All New 1/6 Bruce Shark Chomping Scuba Tank Bust 2.] The All New 1/6 ScarFace Brucette Bust 3.] The All New 3-Foot Long OPEN SIDED BRUCE SHARK! * Available in EITHER closed or wide-open mouth pose! 4.] The All New FULL SCALE GREAT WHITE SHARK BUST *In full attack pose. 5.] The All New ½ Scale Bruce Shark Dorsal Fin * Because ½ scale Bruce Shark = Life Sized Great White! Plus a few other out-of-left-field SURPRISES ☺ - Mike We have been swamped with last minute questions, orders and contacts and had hoped to be caught up by Sunday night but we are back at it again today playing catch-up. It simply takes time to meet each person's needs properly. Again we apologize for the minor delay in sending out order confirmations and answering questions etc.
Anyone that still wants to order it is only fair I include you with all the other last second orders, but in all good conscience I have to draw the line by at least midnight tonight, March 4th. If you still wish to place an order for one of the recently closed out Sharks listed repeatedly below, then please supply your personal contact email address to us by PM and include precisely what you want and where to ship to, and then we will then forward you a PayPal invoice to complete the transaction. This different process since we have turned off the 'Buy Now' buttons on the now closed out sharks on our website. I ask patience and understanding from everyone as we have just received a record number of orders for one week's time. My best guess at this time is a 5 to 8 week turnaround on building and shipping out a paid in full shark. Especially the 3-foot sharks, they are simply an enormous amount of labor each. I MUST close out this extended offer, and all other transactions by midnight tonight, March 4th. There has to be an end. I hope that everyone understands we are doing our best, but it is only 3 of us working through all these builds, questions and orders ☺. Thank you all for your orders and your encouraging and patient postings.☺ PS: Doesn't Joe Alves look Fincredible with our Ultimate Bruce 3D Shark?! Here is another tempting teaser of: THE ALL NEW Ultimate Revenge Bruce Shark prototype. 1/12 scale at just about 25-inches long. This shark completes the Full Set of Film Sequel sharks in our Shark City Ozark ULTIMATE BRUCE SHARK Collector's Set. * And just wait until ya'll see the new Display Stand....☺ REVENGE is a Shark Best Served by Sharkcityozark.com >> More details to be shared soon << As a reminder we are ending the production runs of the following three items at the end of this month:
* The 2015/2016 Battle Bruce Bust 1/6 scale * The 3-Foot long Platform Bruce Shark - "The Shark" * The 3-Foot long Tow Sled Shark We will be replacing these sharks with totally different & updated variations very soon. Each offering new found perfection and NEW features never yet dreamed of ☺*! We will also be replacing the Bruce Bust soon with another variation of a 1/6 Bruce Bust when we release our 1/6 ScarFace Brucette Shark Bust. Again, the 1/6 Busts will be a complete collector's set with all Sequel sharks represented by at least one shark-bust. I am also reworking the Life-Sized Great White shark Head Bust into a new and exciting product which will be released quite soon also☺. The 3 SCO shark products well exceeded their sales goals and are already considered Sold-Out products. As expected the new surge of orders has been quite large. At this time due to last minute order volume I am not able to promise 2 to 3 week delivery on additional last minute orders of these 3 items. 3-foot sharks especially, are a ton of labor and simply take time to assemble and customize properly. My very best guess at this time is approximately a 3 to 5 week maximum wait time for whatever orders are coming in on these 3 items until the end of this month. As usual we will continue working 6 day weeks to get everyone their All New Customized Shark finished and shipped to them much earlier than expected. We do so love to surprise people shipping early this way☺. Last item of business is that we will most likely be able to post up the All New 25-inch Ultimate Revenge Bruce Shark for Pre-Order within the next 7 to 10 days. This depends on finishing a large vendor order for Japan this week. That's it for now; LOTS of Awesome New Film-Sharks are coming your way soon. Start getting excited friends, you ain't seen nothing yet! ☺ Here is another tempting teaser of our fincredible ALL NEW Ultimate Revenge Bruce Shark prototype.
1/12 scale at just about 25 inches long. This is the shark that completes the Full Set of Film & Sequel sharks in our Shark City Ozark Original 1/12 Ultimate scale. There is still a smidgen of clean-up and detail to be added to this prototype before I commit it to a hefty production mold. Oh, and just wait until ya'll see the new Display Stand....☺ *REVENGE is a Shark Best Served by SharkCityOzark >>More details to be shared soon We wish to release at this time that we are ENDING the production runs on both of our best selling
3-foot Bruce Sharks at the end of this month, as well as our current 1/6 Bruce Bust - March 2016. This includes both the Tow Sled and the Platform Bruce Shark. All three Sharks have well exceeded their sale's goals and I wish to retire them before their molds lose definition. We will be releasing several other 1/8 scale [3-foot sharks] to replace them later including an Updated Cal Acord Tow Sled Shark and of course another Platform Bruce Shark. Another 1/6 Bruce Bust variation will be released later along with the All New 1/6 Brucette ScarFace Shark Bust☺. 2016 is going to be the best year yet for SCO Sharks! For now, here is another tempting teaser of our fincredible ALL NEW Ultimate Revenge Bruce Shark prototype. 1/12 scale at just about 25 inches long. This is the shark that completes the Full Set of Film & Sequel sharks in our Shark City Ozark Original 1/12 Ultimate scale. >> More details to be shared soon! UPDATE:
We wish to release that we will be ending several shark production runs very soon. We will also be releasing M*A*N*Y New Products for Pre-Order very soon as well! There will also be MANY-MANY more options on how you may have your own Sharks built & customized. Along with all this we are in the process of upgrading how we do business, as well as upgrading more of our production line equipment and production methods. As to the specifics of all these things we will release further details soon, once we have the time to get things completed and implemented. * In the meantime please ENJOY this EARLY-Release Teaser photo of our ALL New Ultimate Revenge Bruce Shark prototype. 1/12 scale at just about 25-inches long. This is the shark that completes the Full Set of Film & Sequel sharks in our Shark City Ozark Original 1/12 Ultimate scale. >> More details to be shared soon ☺ << In gearing up to our All NEW Release of our final Bruce Shark Replica in the SCO 1/12 Scale, Ultimate Bruce Shark Collector's Set, - The Revenge Bruce - Well, I just wanted to post a few more commonly found photos from the internet of the various sharks used in that last film.
Remember now, The Revenge Bruce was actually a heavily modified ride shark in appearance. It really looked like this...☺*(See photos below) So, I wish to share some extra photos of the various sharks used to sell it onscreen. Please note the stark differences between some of these sharks in appearance, paint, wounds and scars, water-logging, gore, and teeth arrangements [and counts] etc... Also note the extreme differences in the rigid Tow shark previously posted with these flexible sharks whose fins are many times thicker than all other Bruce Sharks- ever. Very thick fins! Note the extremes in skin textures as well. From various rough grits, to bare foam to water-bloated foam to dried and cracking foam rubber☺. What I am trying to do is put fresh images in everyone's minds before we release so that it is very apparent that we nailed all the details both major and minor.☺ OK then, we are close to wrapping a photoshoot - maybe this week☺ Enjoy! ☺ |
