I just heated up the HT finger, moved it into a better position, cooled it down with cold water, stuck it where it belongs, and it works well enough for my purposes.

I'm surprised you even mention any of this as it's no different than the way you support, praise and defend Snyderman (I understand that you say that in the last sentence but it kinda makes the rest of what you said null & void).
I promise you that everyone here who is saying that this is a knock out in hand isn't not trying to convince themselves or anyone else. That is the God honest truth and all the Vince owners can attest (except Hydeous who seems to be the only person thus far with doubts). As I already said I felt quite the opposite. I was looking at all the pics and was really underwhelmed and disappointed but the second I unboxed this dude I was blown over; it was near instantaneous. I'm sure it sounds like horse s__t and fanfare to you.... but it's very true. You can't grasp the quality of the clothes thru pics; you HAVE to see it up close and personal. It's no surprise because all the pics show is a black suit & tie and a white shirt which appear plainer than plain. I have yet to see ONE pic that I can say did this sculpt justice. I PROMISE you that this is infinitely better in hand then these pics suggest. It really may be the most unphotogenic sculpt ever.
I know that you would never think it looking at mightyq's pic of all three next to each other. Even the Head Play photographs better. But this is Travolta to the bone from every angle (he captured him even better by puffing up the face; a vital change that he made thru out suggestion
) . The only thing that throws this off is there's too much Rainman in the eyes. Even still I fell that overall this is the best Vince to date.

The whole cultural thing is a toughie. We're all used to a set of our own social norms. I get that a lot of other cultures are rougher around the edges then Americans and what is everyday convo or actions to them may come across as very rude to Americans. I just find it funny that the most hated country in the world has one of the most polite and socially diplomatic way of being. Go figure
be?
I struggled with this as well as I do understand there are cultural differences, but I do think that this board has its own cultural norms, though they are probably really influenced by American culture given the high number of Americans on the boards.
The extreme behavior (particularly the mocking and gloating, which is jerk behavior in absolutely ALL cultures) that rubs people the wrong way have been explained to him yet it continues which means he's trolling.
Being upfront is fine and ive really learned to appreciate that from freaks as it only livens discussions and adds to the final product being better, but adding the mockery is another story.
Agreed
.There are definitely differences in cultural norms but I have to believe at some point there is a common level of a global (first world) understanding of what's polite and what's rude.
Really?............mine fits perfectly
Absolutely nothing wrong with the scale of the gun imo.
You have some better angles to show? If yours truley fits well then you're the one and only

How come no one is bringing up the true problem....that for 800 bucks we should be getting sculpted hands! These hottoys hands are pure sh:t!
I realize things look different in real life as opposed to pictures. This looked the same in several different pictures from different people. I learned a long time ago to never take anyone's word on what 's good and isn't when it comes to collectibles. This isn't a knock on you personally. I've just bought too many things based on rave reviews to find that they were not to my personal liking. I also realize I'm not adept at practicing what I preach. I'm trying to work on that.

1994. Back before the dawn of technology
. Back when people were still getting hard copies of pics printed out at their local photo shop/pharmacy. Sorry for the crappy quality but my scanner is busted so this is a pic of a pic

What was your opinion on the better of the Vince sculpts? Was it the Snyderman offering? It's very good but isn't it missing the fine facial details like skin texture etc.
Also, I've noticed no apparent short shrift on the paint on my Aeon jobs.

Well said if Serang can do it so can Rainman
You have it futz well but there's no hiding it's small. You can see it clearly the last pic. Look at the giant gap between the handle and his thumb. The handle should be sitting snug where his thumb meets his hand

These hands are oversized. The gun looks small. Didn't really get a good chance to look at him with all the things going in my life right now.
Still love this figure.
This isn't the thread to be discussing other people's sculpts but that is the one I prefer. Currently skin texture is very overrated in my opinion as most of it is out of scale. Most people with a nice complexion thier pores would be practically undetectable at 1/6th scale. People with rough complexions or acne scars would show up more. That is why nice paint jobs with five o'clock shadows can only be pulled off with airbrush as it would be very difficult to impossible to do all those hairs with a brush. A lot of detailed 1/6th scale heads would look really bad blown up to 1:1 scale. It would look like the pores were created with a pencil eraser. But hey that is what people tend to like and associate with a good sculpt these days so who am I to say different. I'm old school and prefer a good likeness above any other aspect. So different people will prefer one sculpt over another for different reasons. Out of respect for the artist whom this thread is about I'm done taking this off course.
I think in the same way but maybe I have wrong to write in the correct language (ok I admit I have used a little bit of sarchasm, but with no bad intentions)...in the past rainman has done amazing customs, eagle eye, dude, the bad, all perfect and flawless, now I read: the gun is undersize and barely detailed, the paint is not perfect, the tie is cheap,hot toys hands.. the button is glued...
for what you have paid I think you deserve more respect....but this include rainman, kato, iminime ,and all the customizers around the world...in my opinion vince head is not amazing like others his works,you don't think so? fine.. kill me.....but I will think in the same way ever..
is my opinion.... I have to free write it..no trolling... opinions....

Saying it once is an opinion. Saying it fifty times is trolling.
I wrote only once...

is not the gun small... is the hand in the wrong position to handling that type of pistol....is the sculpt of the hand itself
