Rainman Artwork project 2013 "Pulp Fiction"

[Cap'n Cook]

We could set up a superhero group like the avengers or justice league! Call it DOR 'Defenders of Rainman'

Truth. Justice. And the 'I'm now so poor it hurts' way.

I ship to France all the time never had a problem. Worst places to ship in my experience are Brazil and Italy everything has to be tracked or you run the gauntlet

Just got my tracking for my H&C this morning. It shipped out on the 29th and is sitting in customs in my country (Canada).

Customs retention reason : Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner

Thanks guys! Some better futzing.

They look like a couple of dorks!

Haha! They're your clothes mutha****a!

Love it!!! ULTRA TRAVOLTA!!!!

But surely the time scale will be no different if offered as a twin set or singular

Overheads I get, but this really felt light for $800. I am pretty sure a twin set offered at $1200 with just pistols and a briefcase would have more than covered his overheads

True, that would be better for us. But I think splitting it means more profit, and I don't really blame him.


I shipped to France a couple of times, never had any problems.

I like the idea of the full treatment. That's what this is all about. If it were to be a "light" set then this could have easily of just went to Iminime for $800 for the pair. If it goes to the man it should be all or nothing.

If FC got the 3 character, 1 with a V2 treatment then I think this line is worthy of the same style release. I think that JRS well deserves a set of its own. The outfit is distinct and not just his black suit with a bolo and trench. That approach goes against any reason why RM should even touch this to begin with. I liked the fact that he even went as far as doing a different distinct shirt for the JRS proto; different pocket, collar and stitching on the collar. It would be awesome if he made the sleeves a mm or two longer so the shirt could easily peek out from under the jacket sleeves.


For Vince to be fully worth of the nut his work up should've been everything that we got plus the brief case and the book could've been bound with a hard back. Gun, case, book (better quality), watch and dork clothes as a bonus to balance out the simplicity of the accessories and outfit.

The big thing that's throwing of the balance is the case not making it in with Vince. I hope that Jules doesn't suffer because of it

. . .and yet, it seemed to be one of the most popular/quick to sell out pieces yet for Rainman. What kind of message do you reckon that sends?

 

[Hydeous]

Good point.

Sam also said another good point of the lighted up briefcase for another $200 seems unwarranted. A normal fullset with a non operational briefcase would be better IMO as well.

But I gotta disagree bout the iminime part though. The outfit wouldn't be tailored as good as these, and the shoes would be too big. Not to mention a knock off body.

Same message as the ones to HT - make more Iron Men

 

[meth head]

Yep, I agree, this is not Iminime territory!

Also, honestly, I couldn't give a flying f__k about the light up briefcase. I would hate that to be at the expense of other accessories! A non functioning briefcase is perfect.

 

[karamazov80]

I'll join the chorus re: Iminime. I'm an Iminime fan, but until/unless something changes, if we're looking for truly high end clothing then we really should be looking elsewhere. Rainman's tailor + material is as good as it gets.

Can't wait for Rainman's next Iron Man figure

Pop....For the Love of Christ! Iminme and Rainman comparison again? Still can't tell difference?

The same message as we've always sent! We're addicted, insane and vulnerable and both customizers and toy companies drag us around by a leash clamped to our wangs

Pop....For the Love of Christ! Iminme and Rainman comparison again? Still can't tell difference?

I have several pieces from both parties. I know the difference well. Part of that difference is price. And I'd agree about the Iminime of old but they are finally getting up to speed. At this point they would have been able to offer a VERY good J or V set (barebones: guns, case, 3D printed shoes) for around $300 a pop. I'm sure $350 would cover a real TT and padding.

But that's not what I was looking for. I'm saying that I'd rather go RM $$$ but it only makes sense when the contents of the set match the price. We should've got the briefcase with Vince

 

[Hydeous]

But the tailoring, patterning and skill of choosing fabric would be different. Iminime's tailoring is no where near that caliber.

 

[uscmhicks]

Haha , I didn't see this , that looks great.

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

No argument from me there, We should have got the briefcase. I even made mention of that as well, but this release was out of nowhere quick and there was alot of confusion with what version of Vince we were going to get.

Of course! That extra $500 better go somewhere!
