In all seriousness, something to point out here - Calimacil's designs all are made on the basis that they are A) made from a mold, and 
intended to be mass-produced. Their market niche is specifically NOT custom or made-to-order items - that is the strength of Ateliers Nemesis and Iron Liege. Asking them to make custom weapons would be akin to asking someone to hand-craft 20 identical latex swords - you're asking them to do something that other people can do easier, and you can get done better somewhere else, most likely. You don't go to a KFC to order a Whopper, or to Burger King to order a bucket of chicken.
I like Calimacil - they make excellent foam weapons, and I think they are ideal for arming NPCs or PCs who don't want custom high-end latex. No one else matches their capacity to do this, not even the vendors that batch-produce basic / stock weapons.
