Really hadn't even considered this because of how bad the Mohawk sculpt looks, but that haired version (which is the look I'd prefer) looks amazing from that one angle.

I'm not even sure that is a possible at all tbh. It will require some serious work and i'm not sure at all it they will look good cause they are made to fit the rubber torso.

Where theres a will theres a way ........hopefully haha

Any pictures of clothing yet, besides the jacket?

Shirt, jeans and boots. I saw that belt buckle, that is unreal

Also, any idea on price for the Full set or DX set? H+C sets are usually around 450 correct?

What about the seamless Enterterbay Bruce Lee body?

There's a way.

It works there, only thing not nice is the gap between the arm and the torso.

agreed.

There will be a gap between the upper arm and the shoulder.

Everything that you've been saying were my original thoughts but it looks like Robbie pulled it off better than I expected. I agree the rubber torso is more seamless and hides the mechanism but with RM's torso, this is as good as it's gonna get

Usually prices on each of the H&C sets I'd imagine, 1200 on the FS and 1500 on the DX but nothing has been officially announced yet. Prepare for the higher end of the spectrum just in case then all that can happen is you can be pleasantly surprised if its lower lol

Thnx, i am considering the h& c or just the clothes

Back in the game?

The haired version is sick!!!

Hope Rainman does go with that sculpt for the mohawk version as well.

This kind of torso can accommodate muscle arms? I thought the mechanism inside the torso and the way the muscle arms (BL, 19) vs. the regular arms connect were different. If this can fit BL arms naturally then problem solved!

Its really not that hard. Trickiest part is getting the peg out of the Bruce shoulder joint. Once that's out, its pretty much reassembly like a standard shoulder. You do have to dismantle the torso, which could be problematic if Rainman is gluing his shut.

Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

Straps should cover the joints.

That's what I'm wondering; glue or screw...

That is a very good point!

Robbie proved me wrong. Glad it will be easy for all of you guys ;-)

My guess is glue. The switch can be had without cracking the chest but it makes it a lot easier. Either way, Im going to do this switch on mine. I have had an extra Bruce body laying around, so Im good to go.

I have a BL body lying around too but I'm certainly not good to go! You gotta remember Robbie things that are easy to masters like you and Seb make people like me cry when I attempt them!
