[Mr.E]

[mosaicsquare]

its all those cigarettes lol

 

[Mr.E]

Probably all those kids doesn't help any either...

 

[mosaicsquare]

thats a whole different story we collect figures and statues he collects a kid from every country of the world.

 

[Mr.E]

very true...

So it doesn't look like we are getting any close fisted hands for him. Was kinda hopin that for the full set that rainman could throw in a few of these as well.

Maybe it's just me, but for $650.00, I'd expect more. I don't care that there are only 15, 20 or whatever number is made. The sculpt and paint are subpar for a Hot Toys release that would be $150.00.

Good news from Rainman.

Now, he is modifying the head sculpt for more likeness.
... hair, eyes and etc...

he said to me, "You will love it."...

I'm really looking forward to see it soon.
It is not for the 2nd version. It is for the head sculpt which you just preordered.

I'll post it soon.

Thanks,

Very nice! His attention to detail is one of the reasons I love Rainman and keep returning for his work.


Add the sunglasses too and it'll be perfection.

 

[Hydeous]

That's awesome news Zuno!

Does this go for those head/clothing, unpainted head etc as well?

I'd be interested in those bunny slippers as well if you are making those, EC. Since I doubt that rainman will make those for us. Let us know how it goes.

 

[Hydeous]

I kinda have to agree with you.

At least for the full set, he shouldve come with the bunny slippers if he's giving us the robe. And also those red shades.

If its HT, they might have given us an extra beat up headsculpt as well. But then again, these aren't HT

Wow, Rainman is amazing! Can't wait to see the final result! He can take all the time he need

I think we got to thank shai hulud, vorhees27 to thank for that. Since they are the ones who insisted that the likeness isn't perfect, compared to inae's version.

I think the 15/20 is what really worked to our favor. I'm happy for us so to speak because just a couple months back we were polling and posting our Rainman requests and Tyler Durdan was at the top or near of almost everyone's lists.

Fight Club is interesting to me on a whole new level, I watched it the other night and saw it through a whole new set of eyes. Being 10 years old now, I could really see the 90's-isms in it. It didn't seem so revolutionary to me this time around because of the precedent it set for this type of moves. You could really get the sense of the post Generation X pre millennial pre Iraq war, pre 911, pre recession time period it was made in.

A time where there were a lot less things to worry about it seemed more of a priority to combat the monotony of every day life by filing it up with a slew of material possessions. Although apparently the problems of today does not stop us from dropping this kind of money on something like this.

One of the reasons why I wanted a fight club figure so badly is because of the ultimate irony of it all, any merchandise from fight club automatically becomes ironic because of the film's message. It really puts the icing on the cake that it comes with the big pink bar of soap, except I always hoped Tyler would have a big cheesy grin on his face, almost as if he's in on the joke so to speak. Though I like that rainman picked the neutral look. Could have went with a beat up head though I reckon, may have like that just a tad bit more.

So in actuality, it seems only appropriate to spend near 700 dollars on a fight club figure to further reinforce the irony. Only, the uselessness is debatable, because at least with Rainman we have a true piece of art, and art is something I personally believe is a necessity and not a luxury.

Well said Ray!!! Also great news Zuno. I cant wait to see what Rainman comes up with. BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!!!

 

[DarthMagnus]

Quick question Zuno. I paid through paypal and recieved my reciept payment email from them. Am I also to recieve a confirmation email from Rainman? If so I never got one. I checked my order status on his site and it reads confirmed receipt, cannot cancel. So I guess it went through and all is well. Just curious. Thanks
