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

i really would love for this to be a double release since both are such iconic looks. but if not then i would prefer the haired version to the mohawk and with a serious expression because i feel smirks and smiles are limiting and often very difficult to pull off well. i doubt i will be able to score a DX set as im not yet VIP and they always go quickly--and i imagine with this release they will literally disappear. hopefully rainman will capitalize on the massive interest in Bickle and give us two separate versions: i would definitely buy both.
also i agree 100% with turbo in that the bruce lee body is the way to go and would be willing to buy a body on my own and send to rainman for him to work with. but maybe im just a freak and want everything to be as near to perfect with this release as possible.

Rainman did a great smirk with Doc Holliday, but. . .if you're looking at accuracy of sculpts, the hit to miss ratio on Rainman smirking sculpts could be better.

thanks PCK. great to be back with news like this. funny, i just rewatched taxi driver last week. so my thirst is unquenchable at the moment. such a massive picture. everything about it is about as close to perfection as i think something can come. that shot where travis is on the phone trying to call the campaign worker to take her out again and the way the camera pans past him, landing on the empty hallway and just sits there. pure poetry.
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

yeah youre right about doc's smirk, karamazov. but i would prefer a stern look for bickle, all the same. seems to suit the character more in my opinion.
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

think the smirk will work great when we get RM to do johnny boy from 'mean streets'... hehehehe
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

The movie is indeed tremendous. It's been playing continuously in the PCK household lately.

I haven't kept up with all the thoughts on the mega DX vs. two separate releases but I'd be game for which ever works out to be the more sensible decision of the two. Either way I want both long haired and Mohawk versions complete with the werks!

That sounds about right to me. I wouldn't mind seeing all 5 guns for an additional price. Doesn't he have two rigs? A holster on each side?
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

He doesn't use 5 guns in the final shootout. Only the ones mentioned are really neccessary to complete an accurate Mohawk Bickle. The extra rig would be nice but I can live without it if it adds to his schedule.

His next up at Bat.....praying for a Homerun! :pray:

Was just looking over the Brothers Production Weapon selection. It was very good.
A Rainman version of these pieces (3guns .45/snubnose/pocket pistol, knife, gunslide) would be fantastic!

Sorry guys but as simple as Vince and Jules were accessories-wise I'm surprised you guys expect the man to provide more for this one.
