Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry

Surprised you didnt go for fullset calcifer.
I'm not knocking any other custom paintjob but usually the best paintjob on rainman pieces has been rainman himself. The guy just know how to make his sculpts shine. I've seen some great custom painted rainman sculpts, extremely cool but they all just seem almost as good as rainman's.

Plus with the added out of this world sweat effect, it's gonna be hard to top. I've onle seen maybe one or two do this sweat bead effect perfectly. Lalla is one of them. The rest usually does subtle drips of gloss to mimick sweat.
Plus, clothing set+ht body+unpainted sculpt+SS painjob(which isn't cheap from what I understand), and basically you might have just saved $100, maybe $150.
If rainman had decided not to do the sweat effect and pale skin, then it would have been a good choice. I was actually gonna do the same as I have already a spare body but after seeing the proto with the sweat, I'm blown away completely.

Yeah I find once you have taken everything into account you have pretty much spent what you would have on a fullset anyway. Of course I am bias and would say a rainman painjob is pretty much as good as it will ever get.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry

Well if you figure the outfit/accessory set is $380ish, and the head by itself is $50-60, and if you use one of the "no name" Truetypes ($25 or so), then that's around $450-475 for all you need except the paint work. So unless SS's paintwork costs $200+, I would think it would be a pretty good way to go, considering SS is one of the best in the business and the full set exclusive isn't much to write home about. The biggest draw for getting a full Rainman figure, to me, is like Teddy says--if you are a hardcore Rainman fanatic, attracted more to the artist/brand than the figure alone. Personally, I am a huge fan of Rainman's work primarily because his sculpting, accessory work, and tailoring. And I don't feel that I have to get a full Rainman figure (including paint work) to have a figure that I'm satisfied with on my shelf. But your mileage may vary there.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry

The clothing and accessory set is listed up on the site now but at the bottom is states there will only be 10 of them, I though much more of these sets were due to be produced, I'm a little worried now.

Yeah i remember backing up rainman on a debate on him mass producing his stuff. They wanted him to put out more for people to buy....but i was stating that some of the things are a little difficult to mass produce...but now i'm kinda like hmmmmm.......you got a huge fan base...gotta do better than 10.
Good luck to those 10 because it will be sold in a matter of seconds....

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry

He's offer oufit set with HS and outfits by themselves before, so is it just 10 total or 10 with HS and 10 without?

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry

With Bill the Butcher, he did 10 outfit sets, but 20 outfit sets with painted heads (so 30 total beyond the full figure sets). I would assume he was going to do the same kind of thing here.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry

I'm interested to see who Rainman will get to paint instead of df studios, how will it work I wonder will he give an example of there work or something? surely he wouldn't have gotten a sculpt painted already to show.
