It's a pretty sad day in the hobby when money trumps fan support and loyalty. Its a really Tacky move to commission a figure that would have easily been greeted with anticipation and support had communication with the fanbase been healthy. Regardless of the bickering and different opinions shared here, we always look foward to Rainman's offerings and for some of us we sacrifice to continue supporting his business. I really feel like this was a sell-out move though, and the funny thing about it is that as amazing a figure as this is, Personally the tasteless move to deny collectors of another great figure kinda trumps any impact it may have had.
I can't even begin to wrap my head around the idea of how Jules may have suffered because of this. How it feels like this took precedent over the general fanbase offering Jules.
I also think that the community of collectors should have enough respect to not overstep certain boundaries. One off doesnt mean we weren't able to afford it or add it to our collections. One off just means someone just acted of off an impatient impulse, and pulled a cuthroat move.
People asked for this character Rainman. Check the wishlist thread, it was ask for repeatdly.
Commissioning a headsculpt alone is a lot a bread, but a full figure, clothes, accessories and all, holy crap!!!
I'm not sure which figure makes me more jealous this one or David, it totally sucks when people use a very well known artist for a private commission, besides their amazing talent the entire community of fans and consumers is what really makes these artists so huge, if we didn't buy their product in such high demand they wouldn't be available at such high prices, hence everyone helps build their names and product and the fact that we all aren't allowed to own it in any capacity is a real bummer.
