This one that you glossed over.



Same as Yogi's spot on one that you ignored. Where's the awesome 'Tvs.O' comeback on that?

What was the point of the argument that wasnt even yours Snake. Do yoy mean an old youtube video that you guys dug up in desperation to continue to troll me like you do. Whats your argument? Is it relavant to what we're talking about now because this certainly is.

Let's not put too much emphasis on him being shirtless. Seriously, nobody is going to pose him like that when all is said and done.

Much like the dork clothing. All that fuss for absolutely nothing! A complete waste of time and resource, and what made it worse was we got less in the way of accessories for it. Please, let's have some serious focus on this one!!!

Yup, Wrong Again!

Meanwhile....

He's the Best......EXCORCIST!



It would be interesting to see if Rainman goes neckless/ball jointed on this for the shirtless look. The Bruce Lee Bodies are pricey but maybe he can get some of the battledamaged ones and mod them or create a special chestplate like he did for The Dude. The casual Bruce Lee bodies arent as ripped so maybe those will work out a bit better. Lets see what happens.

I don't know what the current situation with bodies is but it appears that there is some kind of drought going on. I'd love to see this on a ball jointed bruce lee body for the shirtless pose. i'd even go as far as suggesting a BYOB system, or Bring your own body (Provide Rainman with the bodies..shipped to him) If he cant aquire all the bodies himself.

We've got some time on this it appears....Rainman is still working and focused on Jules.

The fact that people are practically begging Rainman to take $1,500 from them for a toy. . .we live in funny times.

Haha same in many walks of life as I'm sure your more than aware. Cars, Watches, Homes, Clothes, Shoes etc etc the higher quality and lower the production the more desirable they are. Just cos these are action figures doesn't really make them any different to any other product. If the quality is there and the demand is there the price usually goes out the window lol

 

[karamazov80]

Seems like Rainman is offering these up as "made to order" so not very limited since he will have pretty much satisfied the demand at these prices.

It's not the first time he's done this. In fact, he did this before you even joined this forum. It's a very reasonable and generous move IMO. Rainman pieces shouldn't be so restrictive that serious fans don't have a fair chance to buy what he's selling at the time of release.

Of course, I agree. But there is a real absurdity to the whole thing if you step back and think about it. I'm a big fan of the absurd, so it's all good with me

Rainman could have been the central character in a Samuel Beckett play.

Haha it is a little odd I guess when you really think about it. Least with our expensive toys we get something to show for it.

I know people that spend hundreds even thousands on Whisky or Cigars. Something you actually consume all that's left once that bottles empty is memories haha

You insulted me in a post for no reason so I brought up the fact that long ago you insinuated that 'a members post count denotes their worth'.

It was 'tit for tat' if you will. I never troll you so throw away your sympathy card. I just defend myself in a natural way when attacked.


No idea what you're on about re a YouTube vid etc. Just don't like being insulted out of the blue for no reason. Especially when it was so hypocritical of you.

 

[PopCultKid]

Yes I did and I think the interest most definitely does.

When I saw members like Gruff, Ray Ferraro, and of course my boy POP post their disappointment, I felt it couldn't hurt to ask. These are guys that rarely even post in these, at times, crazy Rainman threads.

That's my dude. Come on in for the real thing brother. No, no....seriously... bring it in ..... *virtual man hug*

 

[Raymond F.]

Don't kid yourselves guys, it's boraderline insane absurd. There's no way to really justify this I'm afraid. Yes its amazing handcrafted and inanely intricate product but it's still a doll from a movie and it's 1500 bucks.

We all belong in the asylum.. I'm just glad I'll have some company there with you all

That's one way of looking at it haha but it's only 1400 bucks! Surely that makes it much more acceptable? No?

 

[Raymond F.]

Shorty you are the MAN for asking to up the rounds.

Good luck to us all my brothers, let us all walk away satisfied and with light pockets!

LOL you're right! it's totally acceptable now with the extra hundred I can get half of a HT figure... now I just have to decide which half

 

[ShortRound]

Forget a HT Ray. Put it toward a custom.

Toys???????

That was for the gesture and good words . But I text him exactly what you just said. I'm biting nails over tonight

Here's to fat detolfs and empty pockets. SALUTE!



Good luck to tonights remaining warriors

Always top half when I am cutting HT figs in half (happens all the time) I always keep the torsos and sell the legs on eBay!

 

[karamazov80]

Toys???????

Pop. . .I think you should saunter over to your shelf, take a deep breath, carefully peruse your collection, and shout to them, as loudly as you can. . .

It was be a real catharsis for you, I think

I'm really feeling this comment nowadays. After I put my order through and it sunk in, I asked myself "did I really just spend $1500 on this". No one forced me to do it, but the hype machine is atleast 70% of the equation. A real strong push.

 

[ShortRound]

Toys are for children. Figures are for men!

There's some of us that are passed that point. Don't forget what Rainman secondary market prices are. And some have paid those prices.

We should start a Collectors Anonymous group. In fact, I think we just did.
