[iminime] (The Cowboy), The Bounty Hunter & The Bandit

I got the DX Cowboy from Wake.

Congrats on your acquisition! It's a great piece

 

[mmmmBrains]

Can I get some upgraded boots for my fullset Cowboy? Bummed I'm stuck with cowgirl boots or cowboy boats (BGT) as my options.

Congrats, Shells! It's a beaut, isn't it?

Sure is, My best pick-up of the year no doubt, the quality of the sculpting is crazy.

I took a few more pics. I think in natural light and without using the flash you can see the quality even better.

Trevor sure can sculpt a good Clint.

Maybe interesting for european fans. Onesixthbruce UK has one complete trio set left for pre-order: https://www.onesixthbruce.co.uk/the-cowboy-the-bounty-hunter-and-the-bandit-1272-p.asp

I love this figure , what a great purchase , the only think though is he looks too clean too me. Would you not be tempted to add a little dirt to the boots and jeans?

 

[Rdeezy]

Congrats Shell the DX looks great!

Looks like someone sold a DX to Q...

EDIT: Looking through his seller history, it appears he has already sold over 22 recasts of this head!

 

[Ebeneezer Jones]

Be interesting when someone comes to sell one that's been painted. As i understand it, the main players will be refusing to paint them.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, that counterfeit/recast was discussed extensively in either this thread or the other one. Someone was inquiring about my DX, and in trying to negotiate price claimed he had 3 painters he could hire to paint the recast. I have no clue if that is true or not, but it's certainly possible that decent a painter or two would take that on. I'm pretty sure the established guys I'm familiar with here wouldn't though.

 

[youbastards]

I just like that he has sold 22 recasts already....but I'm sure that NONE of those 22 were bought by the loyal SSF members that condone such practices.

 

[karamazov80]

Hypocrisy by boardies? Say it ain't so!

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

Its still been awfully quiet about who actually helped Q out obtaining that Hatless sculpt......Things that make ya go Hmmmm...

 

[youbastards]

Not sure, but with the timing, maybe it was karma for iminime re-releasing the Cowboy in the three-pack.

condone? or condemn?

 

[youbastards]

condone? or condemn?

Oops, meant condemn. Must have been a freudian slip!

That could have something to do with the fact that everyone was told not to post any "theories" unless conclusive evidence to support them was presented. Hmmmmmm...

Yeeeaah, OK
I'm sure that person can continue to play dumb.....whoever it is until it's revealed.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, and frankly any attempt to engage in a witch hunt is going to be fraught with problems. Not the least of which is that some of these have already sold on the secondary market outside of this forum, and at that point, we may know literally nothing about what happens to them. The best case scenario is that someone gets held as a suspicious suspect, and that accusation could be completely off-base. As I said before, that is not something I am comfortable with, particularly given that every other member who posts in this section seems to have beef with someone or some group, and an agenda to promote trying to stoke flames. Folks are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt here.

 

[karamazov80]

Having said that, if folks want to do a private witch hunt, and come up with a compelling argument and suspect based on actual evidence, then it would be in the public interest (and interest of various 1/6 scale companies/artists) to have that heard here.
