Rainman's Projects... ^L^

Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
I'm with Raymond F, Gatack, and EC here.
Seems like because he had already had a date set, he's really rushing these out. Which I'm fine if everything is in perfection, with movie accurate costume and the shades, but clearly, this is NOT the case, I'm afraid.
Sculpt need more repaint on the hair and give him a bit of highlights, and fix those pink eyelids.
Movie accurate costume, that doesn't just cover the track pants, shirt area, but also accuracy on the prints and color details.
And also, not to mention the shades, which is a vital accesories in this particular version.
I don't mind PO this on the 15th and paying for it first actually, provided that rainman agreed to alter all these inaccuracies and give us the perfection fig that he has set from his previous figs.
Please let rainman know regarding this Zuno! Thank you

I'm with everyone else - accuracy is of paramount importance here. Afterall, this isn't a $125 custom. I'd even be willing to pay for the figure and wait a month before he ships it in order to get those shades, eye/hair paint and clothing fixes. *Any* shirt would be fine by me as long as it was screen accurate. I'm a little confused why Rainman is overlooking the usual detail-type stuff that he has delivered to us in the past.
I think it's unfair to assume Rainman is overlooking details or not committed to accuracy. As an artist, I would guess that he wants everything to be as perfect as we do.
The 'motocross' t-shirt, 'penguins' shirt, finale 'sabbath' a-shirt, etc are all difficult prints without good references, so that clothing item alone has been a stumbling block for many considering making this custom. I think hand drawing the penguin (I think it's wearing a top hat?) design, replicating it and laying it out over the purple concentric circle design on a computer then printing it to fabric would be the easiest shirt to replicate with no good scans or replicas of the original. Though it isn't quite accurate, this painter took that approach:
(note the accurate track pants and boots )
The penguin shirt is a personal favorite, the perfect Tyler shirt, in that it captures his goofy sense of humor, style and how it references his penguin "power animal". I know someone out there has made accurate replica 1:1 Durden 'motocross' & 'black sabbath' shirts, but I can't seem to find good pics or the source images for their replicas.

This might have been asked, I'm not sure and if it has sorry for asking again but is this going to be sold with just the head sculpt and the clothes and if so does anybody know how much it's going to be? I was looking at TGTBATU figure prices and I was thinking it's probably going to be more then them.

[Fighter1999 News]
Here is the first sneak preview of the clothing...
I'll post more soon!
p.s.
As I have mentioned, no shades at this time... Sorry...
Thanks,
Sorry but the figure looks more like this one than Brad Pitt:

The jacket and rings are fantastic, but I have to admit that I'm not crazy about the face. Maybe it's the eyes? He looks drugged.

Great news Zuno!!!!! You just made my weekend. If the pants can be fixed and replicated like my statue I think we can get an o.p. glasses add on at a later date and price. BTW the robe f'n rocks!!!!
still not gaga over this. The hair still kinda bugs me, I do agree he needs some highlights and the front part still reminds me of the damn dragonball Z pic. Curse you whoever posted it now i will never see anything other
The rest is good, all but the shirt. Really not crazy about that shirt (and pants but they are being fixed so thats awesome)

That jacket is amazing!! Definitely the highlight. 
Any chance the buttons can be changed to the correct red color?
I love that Rainman made the bathrobe!
I wish the coffee mugs were cut out patches of the same bathrobe cloth instead of just painted on. But it's very cool that he made it and announced the secret item.
Good news that he's working on the pants. I wonder which they'll be?
zuno, is Tyler's cigarette removable?

The jacket looks awesome. Wish the shirt had the penguin print. Will probably still go for a clothing set.

Yes, the cigarette is removable.
Thanks,
There's this website called filmjackets.com that specializes on movie costumes, and the have a thread specifically on fight club:
https://filmjackets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35
pics of shirts, pants whatever it is, its being discussed there. And I'm sure that they have all the patterns etc pics in that 80 over pages.
And Ray, it was me
But yeah, I'm not to psyched about this either, if thats the final paint job. Maybe my initial expectation was set too high, that's why I was a bit disappointed.
Still unsure if I wanna get this one

I think the clothes are fantastic and the sculpt is awesome...but I think it looks more like Benicio del Toro then Brad Pitt!!
I've looked through it, no great pics of the shirts I saw. It's mainly discussing the jackets. But the jacket buttons are the same color as the jacket. I suppose I can paint them if they stay black.
costume pics:
Will update these in a bit.

I know that I shouldnt have doubted you! You da man, EC I went through 20 pages, and my eyes are starting to hurt already. Maybe post a question there to request for hi res pic of the penguin shirt?
