that looks amazing ski. you should ask the client if they might want him with the sweat and even paler lips, like when he was really ill. one of the best paint ups i've seen on the sculpt.

That's hot stuff Ski! Fantastic realism. Definitely the best go at Doc that I've seen so far

I hope the client decides to add the sickly and sweaty look. At the moment Doc looks stunned.
Good paint up though.
Yours, Evlis1976 and Kuato's paintup look remarkable and each have their own flavor that is just awesome.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Yeah, he has a new home
kidding.......
But seriously, probably the best representation by rainman. Charactor choice is low, but exacution is high. Loving the figure.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Bump to this amazing rainman piece. I was just looking at it today and what a great figure it is. Man, the guns are a work of art! Head sculpt is one of RM's best. Everything is just up there with the best figures ever made in 1/6!
(and of course, The Dude back there. Abiding.)

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
I think this was about as nice a representation of the screen character as Rainman did. I would actually rank him and Bill as possibly tied for the best. I think the popularity of the character (or lack thereof) is the only thing holding this figure back from being considered one of his best. Underrated. I know folks love Anton as a character, but as a good figure I don't think it touches this guy.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
I agree Doc is right up there with Rainman's finest figures, but I disagree Anton can't touch Doc.
Doc photograph's beautifully, but in-hand Rainman was able to capture Anton's presence. I can't explain it, but only other figure I can compare a presence too is my Serang CPT Miller.
Its like Rainman included a soul with Anton.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
You took the thoughts right out of my head. I always felt that Bill has a soul
. It's the only way to explain that magic.
And it really is so bizarre how some figs are photogenic and others aren't. I have to agree in hand Anton is way more than any pic has conveyed so far. Frigin' weird.
To me Doc is amongst his top four sculpts. I personally rate them as: Bill #1, and Doc, Anton & Dude are nearly ties. It's hard for me choose but if I had to it probably be Doc #2 & Anton & Dude tied for 3rd.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
I should admit that I had the iminime painted Doc (which I personally think beats Rainman's based on pics) and the Aeon painted Anton, so that may give me a different perspective than others who had both the Rainman paint jobs. He did get Anton's expression down perfectly, but the head size issue and relatively hum-drum outfit hold it back a bit in my opinion. Doc had no issues at all in-hand apart from a QC issue with the jacket, and Rainman also nailed the expression/personality. Anton had the fancier accessories, but Doc's guns and holster were nothing to sneeze at.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
I don't see what everyone else is seeing with the head size. He has a big head in real life so it looks to scale to me
For me the Iminime paint up of Doc doesn't look like Doc to me. Rainman's looks amazing in-hand except for those pink lips.
Doc was an amazing figure and was sad when I had to let him go. Might try to get him back down the road, but its getting more and more difficult. Once a Rainman figure has made its musical chair rounds they become very hard to obtain and I think thats where we are with a FS Doc (at a reasonable price)
Saving up for Rainman's next three, four, 5 releases so no time for Doc

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Well it's all subjective but having a big head is one thing. Having one that looks awkward due to its not being in scale with the body is another. In the film, Anton doesn't look as off as the figure does without a body swap. So, it's either the head, or the body Rainman chose, but in either case the full set is his vision of what the figure should look like, and in my opinion Doc is a better reflection of the character/actor without mods.
We'll have to agree to disagree on the Rainman/Iminime head
I do wonder if we'll see many more Docs at the price we've seen them at before. I haven't noticed many going on sale for awhile.

Yeah there was that one week when 3 or 4 were up for sale at the same time (including mine)
I don't recall seeing anymore FS since then.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
I have over 50 figures displayed in my office and my Rainman/Iminime Doc is the one people comment on the most for it's awesomeness. I could never see myself parting with this figure. It is my personal favorite as well.
