I'm not really following this man. Besides the color being a little brighter on Rainman's, I don't see a major difference. :huh

Shorty if you can help with this, will be greatly appreciated. Its a very subtle and fine detail but very important. The fanatics always scrutinize the patch.

Well, the font is different, theres quotes, the eyes, teeth, the graphic in general used in the movie looks drawn not stitched.

No one has been able to get this right and all rainman would have to do (I'm assuming) is get a screengrab of whats been provided and transfer it over. Theres a video that I posted thats super clear and big enough to trace the detail of the Gorilla.

The patch he is currently using is an exact copy of the bros production patch.

The Kong graphic is much better on the accurate one. And of course the missing quotes. Hope this gets fixed.

Can you post a REALLY good reference pic if you have one Turbo? I'm gonna try to get this fixed. :)

This is the best we got. Its the closest images of the gorilla. It was probably drawn or painted since it was a movie prop and no such patch existed before it. If you can print a pic of the screengrab and show him the detail that would be great. It really is an important detail. Its always done incorrectly.
 
Ive been working on the patch.. its a WIP, let me know what you think...

Thats very good Siquishiri. The image of the Gorilla looks on point but I think what we're missing is that the gorilla has to look drawn not stitched. The only stiching on the patch is around the graphic of the gorilla. This is a very nitpick detail but heres why its so important. Back in WWll it was very common for soldiers to draw cartoons especially of Popeye on the back of their jackets or sleeves. This was a tradition or trend that was followed in Vietnam as well with soldiers writing or drawing on their garments. This was probably the case for Bickle and that King Kong patch. The gorilla should look inked/drawn in not stiched in.

Thats why a screengrab transfer of the image of the gorilla from the video will work. Its highly detailed and close enough to get precisly what it needs to look like.

Ok guys, I need your help choosing the four figures I will put into my new individual cases. I have four of the LED Studio cases with the little spot lights. I currently have my figures in a large curio cabinet.

Here are the choices:

Anton
Bateman
Angel Eyes
Blondie
Tuco
Col. Mortimer
The Bounty Hunter (Eastwood)
Dirty Harry
Doc
The Godfather
Steve Jobs
Batman
Robin
Superman
Indy
Brando
James Dean
Carlito
Leon
Arnold
Lone Ranger
Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee Kato

*Bickle will be eligible when he is in hand.

That IDM Ranger is pretty sweet. That whole project completly passed me by.

Well, you're going to get a mixed bag of answers from all different folks with that question and that list :lol.

It boils down to preference and what means most to you or what your favorite pieces are.

My personal picks of that list would be Anton, Bateman, Carlito and in the last one, of course...... all 16 versions of Bickle packed in at once :D
