anazing paint and face details...but there is something about the eyes don't convince me in todo..
there is a little black stain in the upper side of the head near the hairs..
the material of the clothes doesn't look so good...maybe is the pic..

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....

Dude, if you came in with this post, I'm sure people wouldn't mind as much. Your free to express your opinions!

But a few pages back you said "if you want to throw away your money is your choice". That's a very lame statement. So people who bought this are throwing away money because supposedly you think its not worth the price? No one is blaming you for not liking the RM Vince head sculpt. People are just annoyed that you show no respect and blatantly accuse us of buying trash. Yeah, throwing away money is pretty much on the same level as buying trash.

That's pretty much all the evidence you need to know that claims about this abrasiveness being a language issue are BS. But if folks keep responding, he's gonna stick around.

Finally have a chance to post these.

Awesome shots!

The size of the True Type hands by HT are huge, but I think that the Luke Skywalker hands are in the best scale of any that I have tried to use. I just got a second set off of eBay for $9.99 shipped. For the time being Luke is yielding his light saber and Vince is gripping his gun solidly.

I was playing around with some different hand sets as well.

Here's a side by side on the HT & ACI.

Strangely enough, the ACI skin tone matched the paint app on the
head better than the HT.

Here's him with 2 ACI hands.

Anyways, here a shot with my gun in the ACI hand. The gun should be very close to the RM gun size.

As you tell, the gun looks bigger now..

So if anyone is looking for some other hands, this may be another
route to go.

Bolo tie is part of the dancing Jules outfit. Which would be released with the pony tail ver.

Not really man.

My wife is Italian and there was an adjustment period, because some of the things she would say translated over real bad in english.

On the flip side my wife would get frustrated, because to her I always seemed to "sugar coat" EVERYTHING" and she preferred a more direct answer.

Its a language barrier and hopefully by bringing this to light both sides can understand this.

Its not easy though. I've been with my wife 6 years now and still don't understand her sometimes, but I think this is normal in any relationship

OK, so I compared Vince's gun to Barney Ross' and Royce's (Predators). Not only are they the same exact size but they are so identical I wouldn't doubt that Vince's gun is a recast of the HT .45 with some little tweaks added.

So I apologize if I started any hysteria with the small gun talk, I was wrong. With the flood of super heroes that's been rolling in I haven't posed/reposed a dude holding a pistol in a quite a while so I forgot how this particular gun fits in the HT hand.

Next time I'll do a little more double checking before flapping my gums

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.

I didn't take it as a shot at me at all brother; I hope that you didn't think my reply was a shot back. That wasn't my intention and this is all good convo, not an argument

There's nothing wrong with being a fan and liking particular artists’ work. It's only natural to want to defend them if you are a believer and supporter.

My thing about texture is it takes away the toyish look. It's just another technique for added realism. Of course likeness is a more important variable but the best sculpts out there have both likeness and texture. I don't think that the pores are meant to be in true scale as that would be pretty impossible to pull off; again it's just a technique so the face doesn't look like.... plastic. Also the pics where the texture is most apparent are usually at least 10X bigger than the actual sculpt. When guys like Robbie are using there super sexy high res. equipment, their camera will always pick up things that are much less evident or sometimes totally unnoticeable in person. Also there are a lot of things about these figs that aren't in true scale and would look ridiculous if blown up to 1:1, but it works in 1/6.

There will be a lot of nonbelievers because of the simplicity of the outfit. But that's all that Jules and Vincent are... they're dudes in black suits . This release is for true fans as only people who love the characters and movie can see past the plain outfits. For what they are we're still getting a RM quality release. The suits still have to be tailored, right? So whether they're pink, orange, blue, brown, white or blonde (see that? ) the same work has to go into creating the suits. I know that there are other suits available on the market but IMO (and no offense to those who went that route), none are on par with RM's suit, shirt and shoes; the tie should've been full instead of the elastic neck but the tie itself is good material.

I'll say again the biggest things that threw this set off (aside from the lack of planning) is not including the brief case and the book should've been bound properly. If you add that you have a solid RM set of accessories:

Brief case, gun, watch, book (better quality), dork clothes

Talk about language barriers! People from Venus and Mars RARELY understand each other fully

These pics are fantastic, I'd love to see some in the dork clothes, that's my favorite scene in the movie.

Does anyone know what shoes (if any) they wore in that scene?

 

[PopCultKid]

They wore flip-flops but I can't remember what they looked like exactly

Thanks, I'll have to start looking for some 1/6 flip flops if such a thing exists .

If I end up getting Jules I want to display him in that outfit, now I regret missing out on Vincent as I wanted the pair from that scene .

There are a few members selling their Vince fullset figure on the commerce currently.

Sorry for the stupid question, what is the commerce? For Sale Figure section?

 

[TotalDominAsian]

Yes, it is.

But is there really? I thought I saw 1... and I'm pretty sure it was Shortround's.

Not gonna get overly vocal about it besides this post but I'm just not a fan of this effort... Rainmans craftsmanship is off the charts as always and of course in terms of refinement, realism and detail nothing has come close to this. But I'm not a fan of the final result despite the fact that I'm a lifelong Rainman fan and have no plans to sell my Vincent.

It just looks like some other dude, I don't see travolta in there at all, the suit fits a bit too poorly and the hair is just a little bizzare. I know he had to do that extender peice on it but it became too long and the zig zag pattern at the bottom looks really stylized, reminds me of dragon ball z or something... I can't explain it.

I was a big fan of Anton, thought it was perfect bill and Daniel are downright perfect... Didn't get it but Val Kilmer looked insane,

Not sure what went wrong here ah well can't win em all.
