Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "Driver"

[philmah]

I watched the movie last night. Good movie but I need some time to soak it in or I may watch it again now that I know what the movie is trying to accomplish.

Guys, this character is going to require alot of accessories so there will come a point where we're going to have to narrow it down for Rainman to consider some of these things. At this point I'm just putting up the essential, but collectively lets try and narrow it down to whats essential.

So far here's what I got as essential (Most of it based on Rainman really only being the only person able to do it)

Sculpt:
Mohawk

GUNS:
Smith Wesson Model 29 Magnum
Smith Wesson Model 61 Pocket Pistol (Gun Slide Pistol)
Smith Wesson Model 36 Snub nose (Nickel Plated with Pearl Grips Version)

Accessories:
Gun Holster (.44 Magnum)
Gun Slide (Forearm drawer slide)


Clothing:
Randolph Aviator Sunglasses (Green Lens with Gold Frame)
M-65 Military Jacket (Olive Green)
King Kong Company Patch (Accurate design will be posted)
Para Wings Patch
Cowboy Boots
Cowboy Style belt
Blue Jeans
White Western cut Shirt

Very pleased this is being made, probably my last Rainman figure if I can snag one( unless he ever decides to do a dandy butcher).

I'd lean more towards the Mohawk look, so I'd like that as the standard sculpt.

The hidden, sliding gun would be really awesome. But I wonder if it will be able to fit easily underneath properly tailored 1/6 scale clothing.

Not essentially essential but...

Hope we get to see the expression/style/outfit, etc. soon. Will be easier to zero down on the accessories then.

Para "Wing" Patch
The M-65 Jacket in the film is old so the correct color of the patch should be Yellow Wings Parachute....Brownish Background

"KING KONG" COMPANY Patch

This is the Movie Accurate graphic and font.....YES!

Most accurate Reference for the "King Kong" Company Patch (Very Important!)

This is not correct/not accurate!

Cool news, I'll probably pick up a painted Mohawk head if they turn out well.

Same goes with the Long Hair version, which I hope he tackles too, would be great to have both. Luckily I'm good with both outfits already.



Still have the tanker jacket somewhere...

This is THE grail for me and always has been. Glad I have the readies spare and can't wait.

So whats your take on the expressions for both heads. Curious!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

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

Hmmmm. Now THAT'S a question and a half.

When I have a good think about it I would like a crazed/smirk expression for the Mohawk and a serious/depressed look for the haired one.

Smirk:

Serious for haired:

How about you?

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

I'm definitely leaning towards the second pic for the mohawk. It will work great with the arms crossed and for holding a gun. Plus how many figures do we own with a smirk and such an iconic one at that!

As for the regular head. Somber but stern for sure. Could work great for the talking to me scene.

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



Good stuff. Hope it goes that way. I was leaning towards the second Mohawk pic I posted also.

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

I'd like to see a smirk also. It would definitely make for a unique look although it might be harder to capture the likeness.

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

Like these for expressions

Also hoping the DX is the bloody version mainly because I would love to buy a 1/6 couch and have this as a figure. Pointing Joker finger would be perfect too.

And this picture is just cool.

Congrats bro I know this is a grail to many of us but this is THE grail to you!

Great screen comparisons with the IMFDB shots. Love that vid on the patch too. Keep that proper reference rolling!

I don't see why we should expect to cut down too much on your list here. These are great and necessary choices! You left out the belt buckle and the We Are The People pin

If anything I rather him up the price to $920 and get all of the goodies in (maybe $1100-$1150 for the DX if it needs to include the plaid shirt and bomber jacket) than sacrificing an accessory or something

Soldier story JUUUUUUST released a new 82nd airborne figure with a Travis Bickle Deniro headsculpt. Real hair. Likeness is good.
