Looks fantastic BB. Did your status change from Before shipping? I ordered a painted head as well and my status is still "before shipping"

Edit: I just checked again and it has shipped and was in NY yesterday morning at 7:13am. Hopefully I will receive it by the weekend.

 

[bigbrocha]

I hadn't even checked, i thought maybe the painted heads might take a little longer but to my surprise it arrived today!

Aeon really does do a bangup job imo.

That looks awesome!!!

Of course! That extra $500 better go somewhere!

But you're thinking of fullsets, and when you figure the costs of clothing/accessory sets by themselves, you really aren't paying that extra premium for the clothes. Look at Iminime's outfit set, no weapons for Daryl, and you're still paying $220. Rainman charges $350 for the outfits with accessories.

Rainman actually gives you a much better value in that department IMO when you factor in outfit quality. Fullsets are paying for the paint job for the most part IMO. With the instance here or there where the accessory is really worth some extra $$.

Head is definitely a tad on the large size. Some better shots.

I found some perseus legs on the cheap

Definitely agreed on all of that

FS pays for the prestigious RM handling (paint, assembly, no extra work) of the figure and in some cases, a really good FS-only item. Personally, I'd like to get FS as well but to save a little cash I prefer going H+C and going through the trouble of assembly myself. The only saving factor for me is that Aeon's paintapps are great and the difference between Aeon and RM head sculpt paintapps is insignificant to me (maybe I'm not as keen on paint app quality)

 

[PopCultKid]

No, she does add a lot of value to the H&C, no doubt about that.

The sculpt looks great Brocha! Congrats!

Thanks man, I couldn't wait to bash this so I took the head off my Transporter and put Vincent on then just padded the body with the extra inner foam Rainman provided, just had to reshape it a little but looks decent IMO.

Was so excited I received my H+C set today before going off to work but I also paid for the tshirt/short set and did not receive it. Did anyone else have this issue? I have emailed Rainman but am awaiting a response.

Had to put my full set up for sale. ;( Along with a h&c set.

Just $100 more. Already being trolled for that. Some people just don't get it.

 

[vareika]

$100 isn't that bad IMO this is a RM piece lol. Can easily cover the $100 extra by selling it right after they get it...GL with sale!

 

[TotalDominAsian]

Aww Shortround. Did you just not like the figure? I love looking at your collection thread, and I think the Pulp Fiction guys would have been great!

Hi BB, wich body do you use and how you adapted it?
paint looks really good!
thanks

 

[Rdeezy]

Just got my set today, it looks great in hand! The shirt and tie look awesome once futzed. Aeon did an amazing job with the paint up..and RM killed it with the likeness. Pics to come this weekend. The only issue I had were the buttons on the suit sleeves were really loose out of the box. Had to cut one of them and super glue it back down. Anyone else have an issue with the buttons?
