Nightgown
In the film Reagan wears 1 pajama set and 3 different night gowns. There are 2 different Blue nightgowns. The blue nightgown with the frill (Levitation scene) is the Classic clothing and should be used in my opinion.

Amazing clear angle footage of the entire Bedframe
 
I'm going go ahead and bump this........

I don't get the call for static arms and legs at all. The figure needs to retain posability to enable people to pull off other looks, rather than Regan just lying prostate in bed. Ok, the levitation scene is an iconic moment in the movie, but designing the whole body to homage that one moment seems pretty redundant because, really, who would risk trying to string a pricy piece up and leave it dangling in mid-air? If the figure is not going to be 'floating', then what's the point of it being stuck in a starfish position whilst lying flat on it's back in bed?

I was just going to get to that. The approach Rainman should have to the bed is not to treat it as an accessory but rather more like a Hottoys base. This way the elevation pose is possible.

I've had a lot of time to think about how to get the most use from the bed and easily you can get the 3 most iconic poses (1.Laying flat on Bed arms and hands tied 2.)Sitting up at Bedframe Headpost 3.) Mid-Levitation) if it's approached as a base rather than an accessory.

Levitation
Magicians use a trick plank to perform levitation tricks. That same idea can be applied to the design of the bed. For example, Hottoys uses a stem that plugs into the base for their stands in order to hold up the figure. The Reagan levitation is possible if a stem is used like a magicians plank in order to rest the figure on it. The plank will be hidden from view because it will slide right up inside Reagan's nightgown and since the nightgown drapes it will cover the plank and a bit of the base of the stem that's plugged into the bed(mattress) or the opposite side of the bed that's not in view when displayed. This will give off the floating illusion of the mid levition height, not super high but high enough to allow the fabric to drape a bit and give off the floating illusion.

Please guys, study the pictures. Take a close look at this one for example. Notice the board underneath Reagan's gown and then attaching (plugging) into the mattress. Examine the photo. This is the key and it is very possible to do this for a 1/6 figure.

MAGICIANS PLANK Technique (This is the optimal height)
el-exorcista-exorcist-elevation.jpg

Kellar_levitation_poster.jpg


This is the same technique they used in the film. For most of the scenes to hold up Reagan's body they used a magicians plank.
Static, minimal articulation, finely detailed sculpted arms, slightly bent knees, legs with wounds and tippy-toed sculpted barefoot is the way to go. The only articulation of real importance is the "wingspan arms" for levitation pose or tied up pose and the torso/waist so that we can sit reagan up when we detach the plank stem from the bed.

Rainman can do this...EASILY, it just has to be explained and sketched out for him. The key words are MAGICIANS PLANK.

Levitation Video Tutorial (Important)

Rainman doesn't even have to have the plank attached to the bed. He can make it a separate plastic peice that we can use when we want to do the levitation pose. Somthing with a plastic plank with a stem and bottom base you can slide underneath the other side of the bed.

Somthing like this (minus the fork lift obviously substituted for a plastic plank with base of course, lol) but pretend the forklift is a weighted bottom base. This WILL WORK!
Reagan Levitation Idea



Super easy to achieve this illusion and it will just add great creativity to what I predict is going to be an outstanding work of art from Rainman.
 
What are the chances of this being released like the dull boy for 24 hours, because I don't thìnk I would ever get a chance of getting this if it's released as a limited number run
 
I'm not getting this release... but I can help someone attain it if they want. PM me for details.

So he is going for the scene where she turns her head at 180 degrees and is therefore sitting on the bed...

yeah...easy pass...this might be as bad as the Vincent "peace" sign hand...lol...but I'm not gonna pass judgement yet until more is revealed...:-/
 
Lee just dropped a hint in the comments to that photo, he's planning the preorder in July! What a machine!
 
Whoa! He's doing the F' me scene! So it's raw wound reagan!

This is gonna be a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!
 
Pre-orders in July! Phew.......need to get organized here, Lol
Reagan's a must have and that cross hand is F'ing Sick!!!!! :panic:

This is gonna be a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!

Is that confirmed or just speculation at this point?

As you know Turbo, I was a big advocate of him tackling Regan, but that's the one scene I was kinda hoping it wouldn't be based on.
 
I know posting pics of the crucifix was a hint towards him heading in that direction, but I was thinking it might just be a nice little extra thrown in and not necessarily scene specific.

I'm with you there. It's not just that specific scene isn't something I'd want to immortalize, but that look isn't the prime iconic look

I hear ya. You say to me 'Regan...The Exorcist' and the first picture to form in my mind is something like this:

HalloweenExorcist-thumb-330xauto-27691.jpg

.....the 'fresh cuts & crucifix thrust' look trails in a long way behind:

(although, if it is this stage of possession Rainman is going to plump for, I'd presume the actual sculpt would be based on the reversed head, 'You know what she did?', Regan).

Obviously, being a big fan of the film, I'd find it hard to resist any version buuuuut....not being from the latter Exorcism section and missing that iconic, frilly, filth fronted, night gown? Bit of a bummer.
