I'm out! I'm out of town for a b-day dinner Saturday night! Oh no! OH NO!!!!!!

No one's birthday is that important. You simply have to explain to them they are not nearly as cool as an action figure of Jeff Bridges.

From what I hear, that'll probably slow him down too much to make the cut.

I am absolutely stoked over this figure! I am so glad Rainman gave us the outfit most people wanted. That sweater really ties the figure together.

Just unreal!!! That sweater is off the hook!! (as is everything else). And I love how we are all a dysfuntional family of toy addicts.

Agreed! The sweater and pants are unbelievable.

Looks amazing. Anyone else see in Rainman's email that he switched clothing designers on this one for better quality? I wonder who he's running with now.

Yeah that's why I thought it was Kato's work, but Teddy has confirmed that is not the case.

Whoever it is did a great job

Only things missing here for me are his rug and tape player.

Id rather have a sculpted magnetized finger/hand that will fit a bowling ball + a bowling ball than a walkman.

Rug would be gold. But I got a reply from rainman, saying that he did try to make the rug, but couldnt find a good factory.

The Walkman is more appropriate to this costume. If he were wearing the bowling shirt that would be different.

Besides, the cassette player helps date the story and is just more fun than a ball.

I'm actually quite surprised we aren't getting the rug. Just a thick piece of printed material with added fringe would have done the trick. Since we were promised lots of accessories, I'm gutted the rug isn't one of them. If we can't have the rug, then why aren't we getting a bowling ball and bag? Everything else about the figure is outstanding though, and that White Russian couldn't be better! It really looks like a shrunken down drink. Unbelievable workmanship!
