Rainman's Next Project: The Priest

Aha Gotcha! I remember now. Well, whoever has close ties with Lee might be able to talk him into offering up a sweater?! And a bible!

Bible is being considered as is the sweater but he said the sweater might be hard to do. He will consider both after Regan ships.

Yay!!!! I hope he decides to do the bible and sweater. They are pretty essential [emoji4]

He wears the sweater earlier in the film as well, not just in that one scene.

However, I'm really not that fussed about it not being included as I'd probably never use it. When I think of that character it's not an itchy arl sweater that springs to mind.

A bigger miss for me is the black coat he sports much of the movie.

That would be the extra item of clothing I'd rather see included if I could choose one.

I think the bible is a must but I can't see myself ever displaying him with the sweater.

And the exorcism rites...

Yes he also should add the Roman Ritual bible. I'll post a pic

Good to hear.

What's putting you off the rest of it? The Karras likeness itself, lack of worthwhile extras, or just that you don't feel it's necessary to compliment Regan?

I love the look of the demon head but I've got no idea how I would display it with the rest of the stuff. If it stood taller, to give the illusion of the head being suspended in mid-air, then I'd probably have gone all in without hesitation. As it is, I've just gone for Karras (and will maybe try and commission a Merrin somewhere down the line).

Actually as far as accompanying pieces go, I don't think it gets much better than Karras for Regan. That fact and the Pazuzu bust is what kept me on the fence but I checked back in today and everything was sold out, so my decision was made easy.

Overall I just see a few major aspects that could have been done better and I think he could have made better decisions on what direction to go with the overall package. I wasn't pumped at first but the idea really grew on me and I was hoping for this to be the knock out I needed it to be to pull the trigger without a thought. But it's an unfortunate pass, and the first one in a long time.

I am interested in the Pazuzu bust though, so if anyone got a DX and wants to part with it, please PM me

Awesome News! The sweater doesn't have to be made thick just good enough to fit over his priest outfit. It's essential because he wears it all throughout Exorcism Ritual and I'm convinced that it will bring out the character so much more than just that priest outfit. The Roman Ritual bible is needed too.

The jacket is easy enough to get. I've actually had my eyes on the black overcoat that comes with the Hottoys Wolverine, the suited one. It's the same material and similar cut as the one worn by Karras

Got that pic bud, and a sweater shot I'm trying to find a generic one but having trouble. :-(

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

Awesome. I have some screenshots of the sweater that I'll post. It's just basically a army & navy surplus sweater in navy color.

Kinda regretting skipping the paint job on Karras, do you think Lee will let me get it painted?

reading this was a rollercoaster of emotions

The movie sweater is super thin. At this scale I'm think a navy shirt will be best especially with the frock coat.

I take its the same sweater that ends up with pea green puke on when he first visits Reagan?

 

[bates82]

Might see if this works...

Here are some screen grabs

 

[robbiethepainter]

Yeah I'm still going blue shirt and coat. Probably try and make a dicky surplice too.

I think people have managed this before. Send him a message, you'll have to pay quite a bit extra.
