"The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" Custom Figure Project

[armysoldier74b]

Thanks! I think the sculpt is a bit more realistic, but the more I see Rainman's sculpt, the more I like it. Chances are I will likely keep it as is. As for size of the sculpt, they are both quite similar, and are both undersized actually. When I put Blondie next to another figure, the guy is TINY. I might lengthen is legs a bit to compensate. Right now next to my Indy he looks like a midget. But Indy's head is much much larger.


If I get a new one that I like more than I will. I will post a note here if I choose to go that route.

Long Pegs should do the trick, but yes very very undersized. Makes a big difference when you put some long pegs on him. He looks and feels more stoic

Thanks! How do I know what pegs are long? I was looking on ebay, but they all look the same.

They come inside the CPT America and Nick Fury Boxes.

3 pics of my Rainman Blondie. I will be getting a new vest for him and fixing his belt. Other things I'd like to do when I have the time/money:

1. New poncho
2. Custom base
3. Replacing his head with velvet morning's
4. Weathering him

If I may respectfully ask you to clarify here.
You are showing a $ 600 RAINMAN figure here---That you entered into the RAINMAN contest ?
You will be replacing his vest, his poncho and his head with things from other makers ?

Just a quick heads up. the "Redemption" (Shawshank) figure is showing up again at Monkey Depot. Although they have not broken it down yet the shirt is quite appropriate for Blondie.

Do any of you know what boots I can use for Tuco? I'm finally putting him together and I just need his boots.

Sounds great and all but have you noticed that banner that says:

Don't quote me on this, but that Harmonica auction looks like a re-cast from Mr. Barlow's sculpt. If you could you might check with him to see if he plans on selling them again. Could be the lighting, I have an original and the resin looks like a different color.

 

[Mr.E]

That's what I figured. I sent him a PM last week, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

its been saying that for awhile....BUT....if the $$$ is right...I'm sure he can squeeze me in lol

So I've been bidding on this Tuco in hopes of one day, down the road, having Elvis repaint it for me. This to me is the definitive Tuco. The seller looks like he is bidding on his own listing or having someone else bid on his own listing.

Check the bidding activity and tell me if it looks suspicious to you or not
