Nope I am US Federal Employee serving the US Armed Forces so Italian holidays do not apply

BOOM when you clap eyes on that Oompa in hand your gonna wet yourself in excitement!

I agree that he does have a signature style that creeps in more or less in some sculpts. In some cases I think it enhances the figure in some ways (Ra's al Ghul), while in some cases I think it detracts (Pee-Wee, Lector). But I appreciate the little artistic stamp. There are some artists that seem more concerned with slaving over likeness, like Trevor Grove. But, love them or hate them, I do think these are conscious artistic decisions by Rainman, and not a result of his "rushing" in order to meet some deadline.

I would argue Trevor has a distinct style when he does his mouths. Mainly the lips. I don't know how or what exactly it is but there something similar with his mouths and lips. I can always pick out a Trevor sculpt looking at the mouths.

Trevors sculpts do seem to have a Mick Jagger type mouth on them....Pause.

Also I notice that when he does the eyes one usually is much lower than the other. It's probably a sculpting decision based on real anatomy not being symmetrical but it seems to always stand out in his sculpts.

Man your gonna love it! I couldnt get the smile off my face for days. Still makes me smile everytime I walk past them. It's all about the Oompa! Delighted you managed to score one congratz!

 

[emarae]

Oh man! I love this movie and of course Audrey Hepburn! So glad I was able to bash my Rainman version from this film!

Freakin' awesome..! Sorry, Steve!

HAHAHA! Love it!

So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

Amen to that! So glad you'll be getting your DX Wonka finally and since you've had the Wonka in the past, I know your excitement will be more towards the Oompa! That little guy does steal the show with that set! Just an awesome accompanying piece! Again, congrats, bro!

How much are Wonka DX's selling for these days? Willy just feels so out of place surrounded by Gangstas and Killers I might need to find him a new home.

Last DX set to go on eBay was 2250. Seen a couple of FS's go on here in the last 2-3 months for 1500+ a piece

Recon you'd comfortably get 2500+ for it

Whew... still...catching....my... breath...! Man...!

 

[armysoldier74b]

HAHAHA

Its safe to say it has entered Bill territory

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna take the plunge and join that club! That should secure me about another 3 Rainman figs!

Hey I can always just use recycled photos of my Wonka to shine! :lmao

The only other person that wanted a DX Wonka as badly as myself was Bullet and he got his DX.

I finally got my hands on one I don't think there is anyone out there who has been actively seeking a DX Wonka.

I could be wrong. Just put it up F/S and see who comes out of the woodwork

Appreciate the advice, but I need a number. How else can we confirm a sale with a prospective buyer. I like to provide precedent for my sales.

I would love a Rainman Marty
