Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Lots of people were pissed, you were just the most vocal
Thanks are probably in order, to be honest.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Yeah it did have the potential. There was just a Dexter wave at the time and it kinda got swept under the rug by all the bashing options. But the slide box is still a grail to have!
Im so hype for the next release
and then I can have my Rainman breather as well. God knows I need it!
Just the slidebox buddy?
I have to admit it was Rainman's weaker release. It had potential for greatness.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Had rainman started on his Dexter before or after Xeno and Kato started offering there work?..I can't really remember, I know Trevors sculpt was a while after that.

Xenos and Kato's work was out before Rainman started his, for a few weeks at least.

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
I fell in love with the Rainman Doc after seeing the initial teaser pics. After I found out the price I wasnt sure if it was worth it. Now im kinda kicking myself for not at least trying to pickup the DX version which might have not happened anyway although I probably could have snagged the full set. Im hoping there is a painted head and clothes set available that Ill be able to pickup tomorrow. Might have to sell off some of my other items in my collection but itll be worth it to grab a one of a kind piece like this.

Good looking figure. The sweat really brings it to life.

I do envy some of you guys that seem to only collect customs from certain artists on the board. I wish I had that level of restraint! As pricey as they are, I would be spending a lot less money in the year if I only went after Rainman full figures.
I do owe you a debt of thanks for sure if you played some role in getting some Dudes released to the public, because that thing is the jewel in my collection. The whole VIP privilege issue can make things very difficult for the rest of us, and I think the complaints by some VIP members at the time that Rainman only promised to make 20 was a really myopic and self-serving perspective considering that they were in our shoes at one time.
Well if I didn't have a mortgage, and daycare, and savings, and a million other expenses, and if I didn't also collect Hot Toys, and Sideshow statues, and pricey 3rd party Transformers, and various other things, then I would agree with you!

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
That is how I go about it now. Like you say actually works out less over the year.
I have one HT figure and one Peteskywalker ASH the rest is Rainman

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Not a bad way to go. Pete's Ash figures are really amazing.

As much as a Bill the Butcher fanatic that I am, and as much as I thought Tombstone was stupidest movie on earth! That Doc Holiday gets top dog. That's Rainmans best so far hands down. That sickly sweat puts it over the Top

It does seem like he's hitting his stride with likenesses now, doing consistently amazing work in that department recently. Bill, David, and this figure are among the best he's done IMO. I think his Wonka was also great, but for me, the hair detracts from it.
Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
Will the seperate sculpt come with the sweat? Or is that feature limited to the full sets?
And will those painted sculpts be limited or will there be plenty available?

Speaking purely from a vicarious standpoint as I don't own any RM pieces, I think there is plenty of daylight between Bill and Doc.
Many pics of Bill could be mistaken for screenshots, I simply have not seen that level of realism on any other RM piece (and very few 1/6 pieces in general I might add)

Re: Rainmans New Project: Dr. Huckleberry
I guess it helps when hot toys seem to only do figures from the recent blockbusters or anything super hero,predator or terminator related. I will be surprised if Hot toys ever touch on any of these classic movie characters but who knows what enterbay or Blitzway( who are off to a good start) has in store for us over the next few years.

Almost as good as a Rainman,
And for anyone wondering if this version is worth the money, you can always buy this:
