Tyler durden without those glasses would be most likely a pass for me as well.

The glasses, to me, is a vital and important accesory, that's quintessential tyler durden. Without it, it'd be just another brad pitt sculpt. I could live without the rings, but those shades are the deal breaker.

Congrats to whoever got it later, as I'm gonna wait out for V2 fighter 1999.

Same here!
 
Here are the times for the screenshots if you can take some bluray pics
33:02, 51:20, 51:31, 51:43, 1:21:28, 1:23:37, 1:52:23, 1:52:28

I too am bummed the glasses won't be coming with him. :(
I agree that if he can find a way to make them he should, or just send them separately when they are done.

A second version would have to be the shaven head, fur coat version, right?

Which would be weird, since he didn't exactly wear those shades in the final battle scene. As he was wearing an oakley shades..

Zuno, was wondering if you could get a confirmation from rainman's side, regarding which version is the V2 gonna be (cause a few pgs back, someone said that you have confirmed rainman wouldn't touch the final battle version of tyler, as INAE has done them before.)?

If its the shaven head, then I'm gonna get this one, but if its still the spiked hair ones, then I'd rather get just the v2.

Thanks Zuno ^^
 
Yeah, I know. A final battle Tyler, which should be a V2 look, wears completely different sunglasses. :confused:

And a second version of the same spikey haired Tyler doesn't seem like a good idea to me. The sunglasses are an important part of the costume and it would stink for one version to include them and another version not to.

Well, he could've done a clean spikey haired for the V1, and the bruises and wounded spikey haired tyler for the V2.

But as these aren't exactly priced like HT, I can only buy one version. And I'd buy whichever include those red oliver peoples shades.

A bit OT, but my shades is on its way now via DHL, so I'm expecting it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow :rock
 
The glasses are definitely a must! More than the rings. I hope Rainman can work everything out and get us some full pics before the preorder. This is getting really iffy right about now.
 
IMHO, rainman should just make 1 tyler. The shades can be sent later; a week, a month, or as long as the metal sculptor need to get it right and done. As long as rainman has given the word that hed be sending those out, I'd be totally fine.

I think he should focus more on other characters from fight club. Just like what he did with the GBU series.

He can do a edward norton, marla singer, jared leto, I'd be more excited in those. Rather than having rainman make another tyler not because he wants to, but because the sunglass maker requires more time, and that he can only give it to us on a v2 tyler.

No offense to rainman, zuno or anyone here, just my 2 c :peace
 
Of course you've got to have access to the equipment, but glasses like these seem fairly straight forward.

Thats machine cut metal with the proper depressions to allow it to bend without breaking at the side points. Not exactly something a guy with scissors could do.
 
I would too, but prolly more of disappointed than upset.

I mean, everytime HT did this (joker, ironman mark 3, predator etc), I felt like I should have been more patient and wait.

I really think if Rainman offers this Tyler, than a better version of tyler down the line there are going to be some pretty upset customers :(

Besides, I don't think that glasses that came with the HT men suit is up to rainman's standard.

From what I have seen from his past work, I think he'd want it to look, and be as close as the real op 523 as possible

Agreed. but for a guy who has produced machine cut working metal spurs before, I didn't think the glasses would be a stumbling block. :rolleyes:

Didn't you know that rainman spins each outfit out of gold and dyes them by hand with unicorn tears and leprechaun blood? It's true. :p

Don't set your expectations too high. While awesome, there are some minor weak spots. The pocket watch face, for instance, is just a paper decal instead of micro printed in paint the way HT might have done it.

You mean they aren't 1/6th scale of a working, mechanical wound, pocket watch?!

:lol

Yeah, I guess so. We'll see what rainman has in store for us in 7 days.

So are his previous custom threads normally cluttered with whiners like us, who complains and demands perfection :lol
 
most definitely. I hope Rainman understands our passion for these are as strong (if not stronger in some cases :D) than his own, and if we get crazy sometimes it's out of love for what he does. :banana

He hasn't really let us down before (maybe the one sided Blondie poncho ;) ) and hopefully he'll find a way to include the sunglasses.

I guess the other option instead of cut metal frames is sculpting a pair and casting them in thin, tinted resin. But then the silver paint might rub off against the head paint. :huh

Yes, I hope so too!

Also, could someone who has the blu ray take hi res pics of the rings please :peace

Man, I think rainman should pay out a small dividend of his sales to EC for doing some research and diggings on the rings details and costumes :lol
