Do the kid version instead

So if lee charged $6,000 for the DX no one here would be dissecting right!? We would all keep our mouths shut, not talk 1 word about it, right....!?

Calm down everybody

Calm down everybody

To be honest, everything was perfectly calm, with myself and a few others casually discussing the pricing and saying jokes having a few laughs before others came and said we were being disrespectful and ignorant haha.

You know you're in a rainman thread. Right?

Hmm, if DX really is Jack and Danny, then I'm tempted to go Jack and the twins. Over $1,200 just for the bike and Danny?

That does seem surprisingly high... Danny looks like a pretty complicated figure, but it's still hard to equate smaller figure as having an equal value to a larger one. Kind of like the Hobbit's being a tough sell in the Sideshow LOTR line; $70 really wasn't a bad price when you considered how much they came with and it being a new body. But a shorter figure makes you feel like you're getting less

I was hopeful for the whole kit and kaboodle for being around $2000 total... but $2700 is definitely out of my range and/or love of the movie. So I might get a FS, or one of the lesser options. At the very least I do want that sculpt as it completely destroys the Subway version.

I don't think a dude talking about dressing grown men up as twins and hookers and mail order brides counts as discussing pros and cons. I'm not surprised it's coming from Lakhota though, 90% of what he posts is offensive or distasteful. It is a lot of money but it's a lot of work too. This is a job, a business that he uses to make a living.

What! Who said anything about hookers? We are just having a laugh, every post doesn't have to be so serious. When Turbo goes on about something he's nitpicking, when we have a laugh were disrespectful, I guess I don't understand the proper etiquette of RM forums . Obviously if we are talking in this thread where excited and we are customers buying the product. I bet Lee has a sense of humor also.

Hahah what? Who said he can't make a profit haha, no one said that anywhere. And why can't there be dissecting? Who is it hurting if the price is already established, why can't we talk about our thoughts on it? So people can dissect his WIP Photos and nit pick every detail but price is off limits? Where was this talk about his amount of work sculpting certain details that people wanted changed?

Believe me, it's far out of my price range but I don't think it deserves the grief it's receiving. I am all for discussing costs and speculating different parts of a figure but I feel the way it's being handled is a bit childish on some people's part. I don't mind jokes and laughs but people nitpicking the way they are is the reason so many creators don't frequent these parts anymore.

I guess we can sit here and discuss and dissect an ARTIST'S WORK but we can't discuss and dissect that artist's price haha, you'd think the artist would care more about people dissecting his work/talent then his pricing.

Agreed. As much as i want both, the price is just far too high for me.

Sorry, banging mail-order brides is what I meant. I think the things you say (like kimchi jokes for example) are just a bit rude towards someone who's offering their work to a large group of collectors. I don't see Rainman stopping by here and laughing with you, so I doubt his sense of humour matches yours.

I think talking about both are fine as long as it's respectful to the artist and their work.

 

[Ajkhunter]

Talking about work or price is always going to seem disrespectful to one person or not, you can't appease everyone, the thing is this is an open forum where everyone is invited to come and talk about their opinions, some comments may seem rude, others quite pleasant, but to call them out and say they are ignorant and disrespectful is more rude than the comments I think, especially when there was no malicious comments or name calling to begin with.

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

I can't lie if Danny looked as good as the twins, I wouldn't question any if it. So mines is a bias that it's looks very weak. The likeness, size of body and feet, hair is not hitting the mark for me. At $1230 I got that gut feeling. I can't justify it. It feels like that accessory is gonna hit the aftermarket hard. I gotta go with the gut. Not feeling that Danny no desrespect to Rainman because he absolutely Aced it on everything else.

 

[meth head]

I don't very often see eye to eye with Mags, but I tend to agree with him here. Voicing opinion on RM's pricing, and trying to apply logic to it does seem rather distasteful. Nothing wrong with saying it's either in or out of ones price range, but anything other just starts to come off as entitleist imo.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I'll wait to see more of danny but, I HATE to say it; I agree with Turbo.

 

[Ajkhunter]

I can't speak for others, but for myself, never did I say I was entitled to anything else, everyone one of my posts was me just verbalizing the thought process in my head of what I could afford, breaking it down, and if I could justify the prices per offering. I guess people are more touchy when it comes to pricing then the actually details of the product, and for that I guess Ill keep that thought process in my head and not share it from now on, thought I did so in a respectful manner towards a mature discussion with no malintent, but you live you learn.

 

[Levit05]

don't be deterred AJK...if you can't hold these artist liable for large amounts of money...then you as a consumer will not understand that you as a collective community have more control over situations like this with your wallet then words....people can argue all they want about what is disrespectful and what isn't...like I said...as a businessman I can respect it but I sure as hell won't like it specially when you start to the math and in some cases the "work" is not up to parr with the pricing or the main figure it is paired up with...if I can't question that then that's the day I become a crony for whatever gets put out


FYI...

I am of course a Hot toy marvel crony....

I was in the process of giving some insight to the prices when my computer crashed. Ill write it again if people care, but if not, I won't waste my time.

Whether you agree with me or against me I'm always interested with what you have to say man.
