Hi Glad you like the little add ons i made the Ouija Bored from pictures from the internet scaled it best to size and again with the pointer its stuck to card and covered with stick back plastic
Nice additions indeed! I'm really digging the Ouija board but this is the only one I found on eBay and it doesn't have a pointer. Is the one you have still available anywhere?

Thanks fellas. I'm still trying to get her in a pose that I'm happy with but its a really tough figure to work with. I had to give up the last couple nights and come back to the drawing board the next day. Sometimes the frustration was so bad it bordered on appearing as possession

Im wondering if Rainman will consider offering unpainted Reagan sculpts.

At his next restock? It's possible. But he doesn't restock Marla heads, and she had rooted hair too.
I finally spent the last few nights really getting acquainted with this set. There are great upsides with a couple downsides, but overall I’m lovin’ everything.
First I want to clear it up in case I was misunderstood in my post regarding the likeness; I do think that the sculpt is off but I was just stating a pretty obvious fact. Neither version look how Linda Blair (with or without make-up) appeared on screen. IMO that was pretty evident in the protos and I knew that going in, so a strong likeness is not why I bought this set. Normally photorealism or at least an accurate as possible likeness are big aspects in my criteria for collecting, but there were other appealing elements in this release that made me give that aspect a pass. V2 is a good representation of the character and V1 has a resemblance to the animatronic puppet, so all of that was good enough for me.
I actually love V1 for what it is. It’s so unique and super creepy. I give him all the credit in the world for having the courage to tackle V1 to the fullest. Really, this whole release is so unique and in many ways it breaks new ground in the custom 1/6 world. Just to have V2’s iconic bed done to this standard in 1/6 form is fkin’ epic. The bed frame design is pretty bang on and the padding is so well done. V1’s bed looks to be equally as incredible of a display piece but I didn’t assemble it yet. The paint and detailing on both heads are insane in hand, and of course Yunsil’s outfits are amazing and are a big portion of what makes Rainman’s releases what they are. Needless to say the sculpt of the crucifix is awesome and as tiny as it is he managed to paint the crown and detail below the feet a bronze-ish. I was initially disappointed with the size of the Pazuzu statue but after a few days it really resonated with me. It’s an incredible sculpt and at roughly 5¾” it displays better than I first felt it did. It’s a fantastic special item and I’m extremely happy with it, but I would’ve still preferred one more like 8” and would’ve happily paid extra for it.
The bodies are good and probably the best route of the available options, but they’re not nearly as versatile as I wish they were. While I love the sculpted feet, hands & torso there’s a lot of articulation sacrificed. The body is able to do what it needs to for necessary V1 poses and even for V2 I’m mostly able to look past the limitations, but I think it was a major mistake to make the torso one piece. No articulation in the torso greatly hurts V2 because it’s near impossible to get her in a natural looking pose while lying down. The solid torso makes her look very stiff and awkward in many positions, and it’s hard to get her just right. The joint could have easily been done right at the base of the breast-line and it wouldn’t have gotten in the way of the ribs or “help me”.
The only other downside is the hair and to me it’s a major disappointment to have them come out of the box this way. What we got is nothing close to what we were shown. The hair out of the box is a hot mess and I’m a little discouraged that RM would let them go out this way. Not all of us are as capable as Robbie or Ray. I’m sure it would’ve ended up being a lot of work to treat the hair and cut bangs on every figure, but I think it’s his obligation to put that work in and deliver a product that shows up as advertised. The upside is some guys who have done it well show that treating the hair the right way brings the figure to the next level. I’m glad that it’s fixable but I don’t think it was something that we should have to fix.
Mostly good, a little bad. All in all diggin’ the hell out of the DX and love it’s display presence!! To all the fans, we finally got our 1/6 Regan

Very well summarized! I think you nailed both the good and the bad pretty precisely!
On a personal front - I Don't have this and honestly no remorse for not picking it up / but the pics are looking great for the ones who wanted this release!
Once again very well articulated review and nice pics!

Great well balanced review Mike

I was thinking more along the lines of his customers convincing him to release the reagan unpainted sculpts. I'm well aware Marla (hair) was not released although Wonka (hair) was.
It's possibe also that since the sculpt is made specifically for that bjd body it obviously wont swap out easily, but I think things can be done some "Frankensteininig" mods that I want to get done to the body that will improve it more.
I personally want to experiment with it and see if I can get it modded with sculpted hair. I think a few of us convincing him to realease the sculpt could work.

Thanks boys. I'm really enjoying V2 on display. I know my appreciation for these will seriously spike once I get the hair sorted out. Deciding if I should take down the rest of my horror display to make room for V1.
I gotta get my head out of my butt because this is the second time I'm asking a question that I already asked
Nice job, looks good
Forgot to make mention of the lack of puke and I'm surprised that no one else said anything either. Even if he didn't want to add it on the sculpt itself, at least it should've been on the night gown. That's a pretty important detail to not be included in some way or another.
Forgot to comment on this also. You got the hair looking proper too! Right up there with Ray's

I agree...POP gave a really fair and accurate review....I have this figure and he totally took the thoughts about the hait styling out of my mind.
Haha thanks boys. I did think about getting into the whole video thing for a while but I think there are already enough dudes out there who have it covered. Maybe I'll just stick to ranting on this forum

I agree! You surely must do video reviews! You don't let "premature ejaculation" hit you -(for a lack of better word 
- you usually take your time, weigh all the pros and cons and lay out facts in a simple and precise manner! U must consider video reviews!

I finally busted out V1's bed last night. Didn't assemble it yet but I was only going off of pics until yesterday, and it's really beautiful in hand. The design and detail on the head & foot boards are so nicely done and the mix of paint tones and airbrushing give it a rich look. Gotta get this set up already!
