[Rainman Artwork]The Butcher "Bill 2nd"

[PopCultKid]

I'm not taking sides in an argument if that's the way it came across . I wish that they all came out equal and accurate too, I'm just saying I understand why they didn't. But now that I'm looking at the vest there really isn't that much space between the rows of ovals so maybe there wouldn't have been that much waste.

As for the shillelagh, I think it's awesome. Sure I would've liked 4-5 more notches just for accuracy sake but it's such a cool accessory.

The staches are a problem and I can't say that I like the responses that were reported so far

Whoever wants notch 45, i'll come over and mark it personally and proceed to club you with it and steal your collection hehehe

 

[marlindesign]

Oh same Mike... I am not arguing the point... Just pointing out how easy it would have been to do it right in the first place... And something that is that Visual should have got that attention... I am also oval-less, but I am also stoked over this amazing masterpiece...

 

[Lakhota]

Man this figure went from I ****ing LOVE it, to being sold on evilbay for no ovals. I am so confused, I understand Mikes frustrations over the missing base and broken stash. I guess just getting a clothing set And head made me happy

Awesome! A small fortune portraited in this picture. V.2 Bill is a lot cooler than the V.1, can't believe I missed it. Again.

Stuff from Rainman is really hard to get, in this point Denny Kim wins by far... better communication, better prices, more quantity, similar quality.

Man, Phil's making bank on his H+C, 5 days left and he's already at over 600...Did he buy an extra H+C to put on ebay? Just wondering, not acusing the man of anything. Before we jump to conclusions, which is what the freaks are notoriously known for.

I got an extra set for the belt & knives. I bought MJ's head to bash a v1 but I'm going to go with robbies belt and knives set instead.

 

[karamazov80]

I considered doing that because the V1 knives are lackluster in hindsight, but considering the popularity of this one I didn't want to deprive someone else of having a shot at one.

And I just got an e-mail that Rainman will fix my damaged sculpt if I ship it to him

Also heard from the man...
HE WOULD LIKE A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEST LAPELS...

Anything Bill the Butcher/Rainman will always remain awesome. Looking at most of these pics posted the figure does have a lot of charm. With that said, I think V2 misses the mark in some important areas 1) The hat color 2) The vest color 3) The inconsistency of the oval pattern 4) The 40 notch shilelagh oversight 5) Overcoat color and texture.

Missing a detail like the extra 5 notches on the monks shilelagh just doesnt make any sense. Why leave out that detail? That 45th notch was the monk kill. The entire figure is based on the monk scene. The smallest of details is what makes these figures really interesting. People who are impressed by the amazing craftsmanship of a figure are even more intrigued at the challenge of trying to find somthing "off" or "inaccurate" when they can't because the custom artist has dotted the i's and crossed the t's, so to speak. When innacurate details start to pile up, the challenge is lost and in a sense the custom artist loses his or her ability to communicate effectively through their work....but ehh, the overall vibe these days seems to be it's just a ******* doll.

And how is this going to work? Send in the vest for an exchange or just get on the list and he'll ship out a replacement?

ya! I thought of doing that too but then robbie announced he was doing the belts so I gave up on that idea.

Damn! Way to come through Lee!!

Originally it was send the vest back - but after the list, I will see what he wants to do???

Some good points raised in your Post above!

 

[Phine1]

If we are talking about a new run of vests happening, shouldn't everyone get them...? not sure how it makes sense some people get a brand new, most likely updated vest. then where does it put equality. on the run - especially if you have an extra vest to sell or do as you please with. I'd send my vest back if it is being updated with guaranteed oval placement. what about the people who's are there but off centre? curious how this works and who's eligible.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, mine is OK. I wouldn't have thought to complain about it to the 'Man. But it's not perfect. And if others are going to get an even more improved one, then I guess I would also send mine back.

 

[chubbyman]

Mine's good, but if it's a new pattern/color, i'd definitely want to send mine back as well.

 

[marlindesign]

I don't think we are talking new, improved, revised vests.... The issue is no ovals on the lapels, or off centre ovals or whatever where there should be. I would assume the collars or lapels will be redone with the same material... No discussion of New Pattern or Colours has been talked about...

Basically - If you want the ovals on the vest like it should be, and like some got, let me know to add you to the list...
If you are happy with what you have now - no need to be added to the list...
