Sweet Magnus I'll come your house next weekend to check it out first hand "12" figures forever"
Also I noticed in the full set certificate that it says painting by DF studio:
I thought rainman's painting the fullset ones
I was thinking the same thing before. Maybe Zuno can clear that up.
No doubt my dude!!! You gotta see this badboy up close!
A lot of that minor stuff comes down to futzing and variations between each piece.
I dunno, EC.
When I saw pics of the GBU figures, they all look really2 good, especially tuco. Those 'sweat' on his sculpt is unreal, especially at 1/6 scale! It kinda has that handmade, art figure sort of thing. Even from just by looking at the photographs.
But this one just doesnt have that feel to it. I hope it'll be different once I have it on hand.
the missus was looking at the pics earlier, and she thought that it doesnt look quite like BP
Although it might be a bit early, but I think I might just stop after this figure, and not go through with the rest of the fighter1999 series. I'll just use the money to get a tumbler or something

just found another certificate from his other series.
Heres a certificate of one of the GBU fig:
its the same certificate, so its possible that its a typo or somethin.

well now you're griping about likeness and not looking like an "art figure" in addition to the fit of the clothing before you even have it in hand?
The fit and drape of a piece obviously can look differently just out of the box or carefully adjusted, water treated, etc. It literally took me hours to get the previous releases looking to my satisfaction.
Paint tones and such can look so different in photos. And I'll wait to see it in hand but I think the likeness is really solid and captures Pitt as Tyler well. HT's for instance looks like Pitt sure but also looks goofy and lacks on swagger.
And I've seen good pics of Rainman's Gunmen and bad pics alike. I wouldn't really judge from 1 person's quickie photos. There are minor issues I have with each figure, it's to be expected to some extent, but all in all they are fantastic and I wouldn't change them anymore than I would think about adding eyebrows to the Mona Lisa.
all the pics I saw of his previous gunman were top notch actually.
Not one pic I saw that was poor or didnt look good.
I didnt have to have it on hand to appreciate the quality and the effort put in this figures. But this one just didnt 'wow' me for some reason.
That said, I do appreciate your feedback mate. I hope it'll change my opinion once I have this figure on hand. I guess I just need a veteran on rainman figs to convince me, thats all
I've seen bad pics that did not represent how they look in hand and made them look subpar but won't call them out here. 
Getting exactly all the joints posed naturally and the clothing adjusted just so can be tricky. Blondie's poncho and Angel Eyes' scarf were especially frustrating.
But I agree that he's lighter on accessories than the Gunmen were, and that may lessen the 'wow'.

I agree with the lack of accessories compared to the gunman.
Also, does anyone else notice that tlyler's shirt was supposed to hit and end right on the hips, this ones a bit too long, that's why it needs to be tucked, in order to look screen accurate. Maybe I'm nitpicking and am in the minority here.
