Yes I hope RM will decide for himself, but if it's Torrance I will be in trouble!

I throwing a party if it's Torrance. That'll call for a cel-a-bra-tion!!

I would love a nice high end Torrance, but. . .he wouldn't be a particularly complex figure (a Rainman typewriter is an accessory I would love to see though), and the clothing isn't all that special. I think it's safe to estimate the sculpt would have a 50/50 chance of looking really exceptional and beating out the bootleg figure from a few years back. At that point, this isn't really a figure I would be pushing for the 'Man to do. If we knew the sculpt would be amazing, that would be a different story, and a simple figure of an iconic character like this would be great. My first preference would be to let Rainman do what he wants. But since people are going to lobby Rainman no matter what, in my opinion the better bet is to push for characters that will really have a draw in terms of their distinctive and/or complex clothing or accessories. If sculpt is great, fantastic. If not, it can still have an appeal on another level and get broad support because of that.

I know Rainman has mentioned in the past that he likes the older westerns. I wonder what else he prefers himself?

My opinion also is that Torrence is more of an iminime request than Rainman, I also think that this should have been the case with Pulp Fiction.

The bootleg figure from a few years back and rhe new brothers production one are not enough justice to the character though, iMO if iminime released a bateman quality jack it would be the be all end all for the character. The jeans are the only thing I'd worry about, those are tough to get looking good mass prodiction wise.

Maybe Rainman could do the sculpt too but in my opinion iminime is strongest on their own and Rainman is strongest on his own.

 

[karamazov80]

I'm with you, on Torrance and on Pulp Fiction, really. Don't get me wrong--I'm I like the Rainman PF figures quite a bit. I'm sure Iminime versions wouldn't have been close to RM quality in the clothing or accessory department. But Rainman could have done something more special and distinctive with those slots IMO.

 

[Raymond F.]

I agree also the accessories which is really actually just the guns and soft drink, might not have been close in quality but because they are relatively uncomplicated items I think they would have good enough that I wouldn't have been disappointed without better versions.

I also agree the suits would not have been close in quality but again if it were bateman calibre it's a quality I could live with comparable to the price.

 

[Raymond F.]

I also hope iminime considers reservoir dogs for the reasons i listed above that they should have done pulp fiction. Those are a big hole in my collection. I'd need at least pink, blonde, orange and white to be happy, brown and blue would be nice to haves.

Apparently it is Torrance next.

Would prefer Duke myself.

 

[greatlakes6]

How about "The Duke"?

 

[qbomb71]

I was really hoping RM would go back to a western figure as well. Would love John Wayne or we still need him to do Wyatt and Ringo

Torrence could be a real gem and would be a great winter release.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Why do 90% of people here spell it wrong?

Anyways. Indeed a perfect late Halloween/Winter piece.

 

[Greeny400]

Torrance is a fantastic choice for me! I was kinda hoping for one that didn't interest me so I could save up a bit of money.

 

[karamazov80]

If that's true, then I'll cross fingers for it. Definitely an iconic screen character and a great performance.
