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

[Entropy]

I'd drop Zuno a note. He's been very good with communication.

I sent an inquiry to the Rainman address that sent the shipping notification and have not received a reply.

Not a good sign that neither the waybill or order number I was given works to track the shipment at the EMS site.

I'm not in full freak out mode yet. Hopefully he'll show soon... but spending hundreds on a figure from overseas with the days to file a paypal dispute dwindling is worrisome.

Tell it to me I bought a hot toys joker figure to a guy called guslinder718 for almost 200USD and never sent me the figure. Was a pre-sell and I lost my money.

But rainman looks a confiable guy.
I´m sure you will receive your items soon.

 

[litial]

That´s happened to me at ebay.

Zuno is a correct and honnest person, there is no need to doubt this.

If a package is delayed,, it will be most likely be caused by others.

 

[litial]

And a very kind guy I must add.

Zuno you´re the best!!

Hi Entropy Chicken,

I haven't received your email yet.
Please send me your name and shipping info to [email protected]
I'll ask him.
By the way, it is Saturday morning in Korea.

Sorry for the inconvenience...

 

[Entropy]

No inconvenience yet, just some worry.
Not worried about Zuno or Rainman at all, I've only heard good things.
I'm just concerned about it getting lost in the mail as sadly it's happened to me before.

email sent! Thanks for helping me sort it out.

Hi Zuno, I am in the same boat as Entropy Chicken. I got my shipping notice on April 28th, and the Numbers won't track. I sent you an email at the address you listed above. Thank You for any help you can give me.

Zuno...do you have more pictures of your blondie project??
Thanks in advance.

 

[zuno]

Rainman said that it's still under processing...
It's not final?...

Thanks,

Great work but i don't know why i don't see clearly clint in that headsculpt! I still prefer the one from Lonnie! But amazing work!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Not as spectacularly spot on as his Lee Van Cleef I must say, but still hope I can afford one.

Going to be an ace figure.

 

[Deckard]

I agree with Snake and Elvis, something is just slightly off, not sure what. Still looks incredible though, the best blondie around, can't wait to hopefully order one.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

The gun looks a wee bit undersized too.

Anyway, appears he is still tweaking it.

 

[Reinhardt]

fantastic! agreed, there is something off on the headsculpt, but it still looks fantastic. and yes, the gun appears a bit undersized.

Well, just an opinion.
That Clint Eastwood head sculpt it’s really nice and a dedicated work. But I think just like Zuno says it’s not the final, maybe if we suggest some ideas we could help to Zuno/rainman to accurate the head just a little more.

I think the dimensions are not really ok, even the expression it’s very close to the look of Blondie, Clint has a trademark expression in his look and even Rainman´s version it’s not so far from the original, some other modellers were just a little closer to Clint’s expression. The Beard it’s very well done. I think cigar it’s pretty well done too and even the lips are very well defined, that mouth it’s not like the Clint Eastwood one. I think it’s very important to rebuild the mouth, I think Clint lips are thinner.
With all my respect I think this other custom head (I add some pictures) it’s just a little closer and I’m pretty sure that with just very short changes Rainman´s Clint Eastwood version will be a great one.

The vest… I think rainman can improve the vest. The work he done with Coronel Mortimer talks about a very dedicated, detailed and fine model maker and I’m pretty sure he will be able to offer a better vest.

The shirt it’s nice, but I can not be impartial because I really love the Billyb shirt so I think I can’t say anything about Shirt and we can’t see the trousers but regarding pants I will not be able to be impartial too because I’m in love with the pants that Jimmy Meservey made for my Blondie figures during last months. The hat it’s very nice but I think it’s just a little short. And it looks like the version that Clint uses in the first part of the Good, The bad and the Ugly, but it’s not the hat of the man with no name.

I hope this opinion helps.
Thanks

Amazing post Zuno. The head sculpt is headed in the right direction. This is going to be such an iconic figure. Cannot wait to see it.

fantastic! agreed, there is something off on the headsculpt, but it still looks fantastic. and yes, the gun appears a bit undersized.

I have to agree with the comments about the smallish gun and something off about his head. IMHO his hat size seems abit small and it looks like the style is not quite right. The detailing on the spurs are a nice touch, but they are not the right style and they seem too long. I agree with litial his shirt is not screen accurate and there could be more attention paid to correcting his vest.
I think the craftsmanship is superb and first class.
I do think Lala's paint on it looks amazing. All in all, Rainman's work on it will be another fantastic masterpiece, as all his figures. I am really looking forward to the finished figure.

 

[litial]

Yes me too.
