Realistically we all know he wont spend days tweaking it. That's why I ask

 

[ShortRound]

This is such a good mock up. Has anyone showed this to Rainman?

I believe army sent him this. Let's hope he takes note

 

[PopCultKid]

There was a lot of good talk about the two mentalities of buyer and seller/fan and artist that I wish I didn't miss. I have to much to say about all that but I'm on vay-cay so really couldn't get to it.

I do hope that he takes the frown lines into consideration (he already confirmed the eyes I believe).

 

[PopCultKid]

Is this the longest time sets of any kind have stayed available?

Usually things sell out from a minute to a day & a half. Then after that things will pop back up throught the next week - 2 weeks because of cancellations (full set here... H&C there), but after the initial sell out those pop ups never last long. The one thing that I saw that was available on his site for a long time was Pee Wee; I think that's the record. IDK if it was 1 or 2 full sets but it didn't say sold out for three weeks to a month.

i may be the only one but I think rainmans head is spot on and does not need any changes.

 

[ricardobsn]

How many days we have until send the payment?
i bought a sculpt, but i want to see the final version before payment.

 

[karamazov80]

Usually 7, but he restricted it to 3 for Vince after Anton stuff remained unpaid for past that point.

 

[ricardobsn]

i see.. so i will wait a bit until my credit card turn to another month ( i dont know how to say this in english)
i hope until there 2-3 days, we have some news

yep, your the only one..seriuosly though, to each his own,,,here is a case where "you" might not like the changes.,,have you bought a set..

read through all the posts, ray, levit, robbie, all have good points, but lets be rainman for a minute, i make a figure, jules. he sells out within hours on the full sets, the h@c sell out in a few days. i must be doing something right!! why should i listen to 3,4,5, guys about changeing this changing that, and risk getting backlash for all the supporters who have just bought me out in a few days time!! maybe the majority love the sculpt and figure the way it is.,,,, why in the world would i change a thing because 5 people want this sculpt their special way. and you know rm has a special relationship with a few on here. if they arent complaining then it really justifies him not doing a thing to the sculpt, or doing just a minor change. and also lets be honest people, and i am "NOT" saying this happens , but lets say a few of those people that rm respects a lot are emailing him and saying to leave it well enough alone? then what? and i agree with "marlidesign" there are enough rm fanboys that they will buy whatever he puts out no matter what. point being stansfield...he isnt even close to be a huge must have figure for people... and he was released before leon, and he did sell out.. and rm is way way more popular now than then. what i am saying is a lot more goes into it than just whats on the surface. rm may also say to himself, there are people that i can never please, no matter what, so i wont worry about it, not specific people, but like any artist there is always backlash no matter how great the release.

disclaimer- i make no accusations or implications at all, just trying to think a little outside the box with things. i own both figures. i am in the camp that the perfect character cannot be made into a doll. if i want perfect i will buy an 8x10 pic and be happy. an artist doing his best and getting very close to a likeness is good enough for me. again i am bringing up ponits and possible scenerios,,,not trying to start something or accuse..just saying what some people think. you have to think of every possibility if it occurs or not.

I agree with Robbie fullstop.

Also I can't believe people think Vince is anything other than superb! Light in accessories yes, but absolutely nothing wrong with the sculpt and clothing etc.

True. That sculpt is almost perfect. On the other hand, Jules without mods is at the same level than his dexter sculpt imo.. I think everybody did good by sending RM emails. That's the best way to tell him what we think. He could ignore everything and maybe it would still sell out fast. But that's the proof he doesn't make it (only) for money.

The only thing that really sucks is that he doesn't make the choice of the characters anymore.. I'm more than happy with the Pulp Fiction line though, but I hope he will make something he likes after Taxi Driver!

Rainman figures always change hands the first few weeks and even first few months. Then they go to the real people that are happy with the figure and then poof! They are gone!

Haven't seen a Pee Wee in the F/S section in I dont know how long.
Wish the HS was better

I love how Vince came out and I agree its light in accessories, but at the end of the day its the best Vince available out there.

I agree, Vincent came out close to perfect but Jules is definitely in need of modification. Let's hope it happens.

I concur with that most definitely.

so true, it seems like rm is easily influenced by the peeps he respects and likes..cant complain so far as i like the choices,,

What was the last figure RM chose on his own?
