So what do we speculate John will have? Considering he's beard doesn't grow like Arthur I would love to see an alternate outfit (Maybe the one with the eyepatch or the elegant suit that he wore on the games cover) and it's a hail Mary but I would be happy to throw down some cash for some zombie John Marston accessories a la carte like the mid-beard sculpt for Arthur
I hope they give him head sculpts from both games and a butt load of cool accessories! :D
 
Absolutely not to all of this.

His face is consistent through the two games, so they can save on head sculpts and go deeper into accessories instead. Zombie head is a waste of resources. Hard no.

Would much rather LIM work on Charles, Sadie, Dutch or Javier instead of wasting time on unnecessary things like extra outfits that aren’t canon and silly heads.
LIM always stack their figures with accessories, as far back as Venom Snake I cannot see them doing any of those figures except maybe Dutch, and the time required to make and release an entire figure is probably not going to be impacted by adding some of that stuff. Undead Nightmare was a popular game, canon or not, and I would love to see something representative of it, although I think that's very unlikely. I'm not sure what all you could give John aside from a few guns not already covered by Arthur, Red Dead 1 was pretty light on toyetic (accessory-etic?) stuff, and with the Gunslinger he has the winter overcoat, which is why I speculated about some additional costume pieces.

I'm having fun here! I hope you don't think my ideas are threatening the prospects of them making other Van Der Linde members
 
As others have said, this is a terrible idea. If you want Roger to sign anything, get a photo or something to display alongside the figure. Hell, even a basic blank 1/6 figure base would be better than anything relating to this figure. I know you most likely didn't ask this question with malicious intent, but please, for the sake of the fans who ordered this figure (and would quickly order any others that LIM makes), don't jeopardize it.
I already said I won’t do it.
 
Hey R_R_X, on behalf of all of us I would honestly like to thank you for keeping us informed over the last few years. I think a lot of us would’ve given up on the figure by now if it wasn’t for you. I know we’ve been a lot to deal with but you’ve been very patient with us and we’re so excited to finally get this figure in just a few short weeks.
 
A kitbash spotted on Facebook can be a good distraction to imagine what Marston could look like if you squint.

I think my response came off a little more aggressive than I meant it to haha. Although I hate the zombie head idea and would rather them make other characters from the games, I wasn't trying to hate on you for saying it. I think Hirsch has annoyed me enough that my blood pressure was up haha. Thanks for contributing to the discussion with your ideas!

That Deadly Assassins costume is pretty cool, ngl, but the chances of that costume coming to reality are pretty low.

That's okay! Tensions are running high here lol, I definitely understand.
We're all just excited to get our cowpoke on home
 
Hate to bump this with no news but given we're heading to the end of the month, I'm hoping we get some updates on shipping and everything this coming week!

Fingers crossed!

10 days ago R_R_X said it's very very likely to release this month, but not certain. They only have to do some clothing tweaks and a final check of every figure. I think we can wait another 2-3 weeks / early September. We waited this long.
