Rainmans 'Killer A'

[Raymond F.]

Yeah i definitely reminded him of the problem (it was in the subject line also).

After I got the "UM?" email I followed up, I reminded him that he told me not to worry last week and said he had a clothing set but didn't say he would send it or when or what he planned to do other than he would get back and i totally thought i should let him sort it for a few days no pressure and i didn't feel sour about it at all until I got the "UM?" response. That threw me for a loop.

Then he did not respond at all.

I'm not jumping to conclusions just yet, i'm hoping he responds because it's awesome he did the contest and I'm totally humbled he chose me, but if i don't get this now because he messed up and send my clothes to someone else it's like the most unfair thing in the world, I just wanted the thing. and i would have paid and waited in line the second the preorder dropped had i not known I won and wouldn't have to.

Really upset...

^^^I'd like to see some pics of how that all fits together if you could

Some quick shots. After spending a little more time, I think the DAM body has the right width but padding on the stomach is probably still welcome (mine doesn't have any though, just old fashioned futzing).

Looks good Vareika! I'll be attempting the same, but worry about the shaving the traps thing. Nice Batman and Dredd there, as well. What body does Bats have? Surely not the stock Medi one.

Something got messed up obviously. I'd say give him a few days to figure it out. Maybe he doesn't have another set on hand and has to have another one made.

I have an issue too that I want to bring up to him. The collar on my jacket is really uneven. The left side is almost double the size of the right. I'm really hoping that he could replace it for me.

Also the white switch on my transponder came broken but that's an easy fix

I had an issue with my Doc Holliday coat, PM'd Rainman about it, and he said he couldn't help me because he didn't have any extra coats left. . .

Looks great! Nice full shoulders and the jacket sits nice and low under the belt. That's one of the only things that I didn't love about the Cap bodie is it hikes up the jacket a bit

Thanks! The DAM body traps are just a tad too tight for the Anton neck to fit; shaved maybe .2 cm off on both sides with a ghetto box cutter. I like that shoulder width on the DAM body and I think that gives it the balanced look. I opted to not use the body padding because I wasn't sure how to apply it haha...I don't think it would have fit in the waist because with this body, the pants are snug already. Maybe the padding is meant to go above the waist (above the belt), but I wasn't sure so just left it alone.

Bats is actually on the original stock body - 0 alterations made haha...

Damn man. I know that's what he's going to say.

I had a couple of issues with my Alex shirt and I was lucky enough that he still had one. He just didn't have the eyeball cuff links. So I sent him mine and he transferred my links to the new shirt. Im hoping to get lucky again

You can definitely put the padding above the belt.

That bats IS pretty awesome

Glad to hear you used a box cutter, because that's essentially what I was planning to do. And that Bats looks way better than I've seen in other pics.

Really sorry about Raymond's situation. I hope Rainman can make right on it.

I wasn't to sure what I'd do at first either , never carved up a 1/6 figure before but the DAM body was $20, so I just went ahead and did it.

The Hush Bats is pretty sweet indeed, but Seb's buffed up version is a lot better, the stock body is probably on the thin side.

Oh man..! Up late (around 3 a.m. my time) and just had to play around with my Anton. I don't think I'll have much time on Valentine's Day otherwise..! Tried futzing with him and added some padding to his torso and shoulder areas as well as his thighs. Just some ghetto style mods for now that hopefully look okay without having to get another body. Just had some fun taking pics and playing with the light & shadows on Anton!

 

[mightyq]

lol k and i both got a head and clothing set each and i got one with the transponder..........wahooooooo thanks rainman.

wait a minute, you bought a head and clothing set and got a transponder? did everybody who bought the same get one? if not and i bought the same and didnt get one i would be pi$$ed,..again this is just speculation, as maybe rm has done good and put one in for all....was this suppossed to be random? maybe i missed that, maybe somebody can clarify before i jump to conclusions

 

[Darthy]

2 transponders only for head + clothes set, random selection. I think that's it

 

[uscmhicks]

Really sorry to hear about your situation Ray , that sucks. So what's the plan from here , are you waiting for Rainman to hopefully reply again ?.

Great photo's everyone , customs still have mine of course , I've not beat Teddy Daniels record so far but 7 days is still taking the pi^^.

 

[meth head]

Mine is moving on the 11th day but the f__kers have hit me with charges! So for the pleasure of keeping me waiting this long they reward me with charges

Never had charges before on a Rainman figure

 

[Darthy]

Then you are lucky man, I got charges from half of my orders coming from the us....

 

[Raymond F.]

Yeah guys I don't know what I should do from here? I'm not going to harass him constantly but how long should i wait before I push him a little more?

I was pretty pissed off at his response. I'm not going to lie. Amd the longer wirhout the follow up is gettig me more upset. Even though it was a gift and all if he doesn't come through for me I'm going to be very pissed off and I think I have a right to be, just because I didn't pay for it does not mean I wouldn't have.

Not to mention that I've given him thousands of dollars of my business already, I own about 80 percent of his figures.

 

[Levit05]

WOW...Ray...i'm sorry to hear about whats going on...but I wouldn't wait too much longer...is there a language barrier or can you speak korean?...its just disappointing how alot of the communication is handled on his part....i HOPE everything works itself out with RM...:-/

 

[karamazov80]

That's a tough one. You don't want to make him upset to the point where he won't even attempt to help you anymore, but you don't want him to sweep it under the rug, either. Maybe wait a few days and then try to follow up again? I wonder if there is a language issue at play here. I posted somewhere recently that I really think it would be in Rainman's interest to have a customer service staff person work part time to deal with issues like these, folks getting access to the website, etc. Rainman seems a bit uneven with how he responds to people (or fails to respond to them). And I'm sure the language issue presents problems.
