Rainman Artwork 2013 Pulp Fiction Project 2- Jules the Shepard

The neck is a touch short but if you futz the shirt it can help. With tucked shirts I always strip the figure down and tape the shirt to the thighs and butt. I also did a tuck on the back so that the shirt fit the body a little tighter. Your really have the have the shirt pulled down to the shoulders for it to work right. Its not like an HT where there is a huge gap between the shoulders and neck. Other then the technical problems that can be had with the Enterbay body, I for one really like them for their proportions. The suit fits the body perfectly.

Thanks for the wisdom bro! Got some work to do!

I got a second unpainted head just to cover my bases in case I didn't like the paint job. For me, that was the only concern I had for this release. I put an HT neck connector on it and thought it worked better then the Enterbay one so I did a swap. I like it even better. It gives the slight height needed.

Noted! Tape clothes down. Use HT Neck adapter!

Superb mate

Thanks a lot

Well for me I think it looks great. I'm really pleased with the head and really the whole thing. Would have been great to get better shoes, but as a whole, I think its a win. Sorry everyone doesn't feel the same.

Nice pics Robbie. Not enough to assuage my concerns completely (hair, body, shoes still an issue) , but I do like what you've done with it. I'll definitely try to extend the neck somehow if I can figure it out. Briefcase also helps tie it together.

How the hell do I take the shirt off

It seems like it is stiched at the front collar

 

[DarthMagnus]

Probably gotta take the head off and slide it up and over like a tshirt.

There is no way this shirt is coming off

Calm down. This was so much easier to put together than Vincent.

What exactly are you having trouble with? I think Jules' clothing is better thought out than Vincent's! The shirt is indeed stitched at the front towards the top. But there are two buttons lower down that you can unclasp. You are not supposed to remove the tie/top of the shirt.

Pull his arms straight back... get the sleeves on over the arms... slip the top of the shirt, etc over the headless/neckless shoulders and voila. Easy peasy.

Yeah that's what I did. I did pull the head off the connector doing it but no biggie. I was going to do it anyway. I know people are in love with Iminimes Bateman but Iv'e spent the last two hours trying to get his suit to look right and finally just quit. This one fits perfect.

Im in the minority camp with robbie as well, that this looks very good like the usual rainman figures.


Also i strongly do NOT agree that rainman half heartedly do this, while giving 110% on the private commission. That just doesnt make any sense at all, considering hes getting paid more for regular release than private commission. But that said, i believe he did the best that he could for both sculpt. Just that some sculpts are hit and some are standard - just like what hot toys are doing. These are still, at the end of the day, a hand sculpted portrait; not a digital 3D photo.

Nah, Murray-fying things only makes them better.

My opinion is that Rainman tired his best with these two, but both are lacking, I have yet to get Jules in hand but IMO I'd say from the pics he turned out the poorer of the two.

Vince is along with Tyler V1 probably my least favorite Rainman figure, I still like it but just don't see much Travolta in there same as Jackson for Jules.

I do believe Rainman tried his best and obviously there's insane talent and passion in these, better than I could obviously do, but they are both really disappointing to me at the end of the day, that being said they are obviously quality figures and are something I'm glad I own as a fan of Rainman and of the film.

Has anyone discovered a cup holding hand or method?

Well put guys. There's always room for improvement for practically any 1/6 figure. The standard keeps getting raised (not referring to RM or any specific custom artist, but referring to the overall hobby). These are pretty good figures all in all. Whether it is worth the price point should be what it is, a personal opinion, nothing more. I get that many people in this particular PF release, probably feel slightly disappointed but lets just move on and try to do what we can to empower RM to make his next release another grail.

Man I just am sitting back staring at Vincent and Jules and am extremely happy, Pulp Fiction is a bad@ss movie and these guys are bad@ss characters and now I have both of them standing in my Shelf and they look so pimp haha, just like with Vince I am loving Jules more and more every time I look at him, very happy with these two!
