but the dude isn't slim also rainman will have to make a new neck connector for the body cause ht skimped out on us
Show me pictures. I'm not sure where you are getting it that Tuco is fat? Go watch the bathtub scene again.
As Blondie says, he's a "sawed off runt".
A proper neck connector is an issue. Using a regular TT's neck connector on a Slim doesn't look right. The other options are removing a portion of a regular Truetype's thighs or just live with them all being the same height.
Also, Rainman, Tuco's jacket is damaged and has a rip on the rear, right side beneath his arm. I'll try to take pictures but I can't find my DVD right now.

Mine is 14/20. I really love these figures! I'm hoping Rainman will do 1/6 Tombstone someday too, at the very least Wyatt and Doc!

From the item description:
"Painted Head sculpts can be slightly different from the image because they are hand painted.
The eye sight may different randomly by Rainman."
I apologize for coming across as a dolt. I did read this on Zuno's site, and expected the full figure to look great regardless how he was painted. I just meant that it seemed like all the 'complete figure' versions had their eyes painted looking up, while the separate head version(s) looked pretty much the same from one another wherein they're looking straight ahead. I was curious why there was distinction between the two, seeing as how Rainman didn't actually paint any of them this time around. My question was more of a curious nature. My initial guess was so there would be a bigger difference between the two, for those people who spent more money for the complete doll, er... figure.

Are you sure that all complete versions eyes are painted one way and all the separate head versions painted another way or are you just basing this notion off 2 pictures? If it's just 2 pics I'm sure that falls under "eye sight may be randomly different".
It's personal preference I suppose but I think the whites under the iris make him look better and more menacing. At least the eyes aren't looking to one side.

Tuco wasn't fat, but he definitely wasn't as lean as eastwood or van cleef. In terms of height, he'd obviously need to be shorter, but his body needs to be stalkier than the slim TT offers. some sort of undergarment would be necessary to plump him out a bit

heres a bit of an example as to how he's a little thicker than Clint
Between the baggy pants, open jacket and his splayed arm position which engages and extends the lat muscles and makes a person look thicker - wings they are called - I'm not sure that's the best reference pic for determining much about Wallach's body. If I can find my DVD I'll post pics of his shirtless.
It does show Tuco's costume decently, the suspenders over the shirt and his 2 striped jackets - the weathered and torn one he's standing on.
EDIT:
"Who are you calling fat?"
Keep in mind his body is smaller and 7 inches shorter than Van Cleef and Eastwood.
If only there were shirtless pics of all three men standing next to each other.
And for fun:

you've proved us all wrong. so psyched to see what rain will do with the full figure.
whatever happened to the slim body with c.bale's head on it. i guess rainman can always sculpt a chest piece

I admit, I haven't seen hardly any pics on The Bad yet. What got me thinking was seeing one of the loose Angel Eyes heads on eBay, where the eyes were looking straight ahead. I remembered back to Col. Mortimer and how the eyes on mine were like others I saw pictured on message boards, looking off to one side. I was assuming the same thing was happening again, and it made me wonder: are there many variances within a run, of say, the "complete figure" or "head by itself" versions, or is each run pretty much the same from one another (within reason since these are all hand-painted)? I assume your complete Angel Eyes has eyes that are looking a bit up, no?
And you're right, I'm glad the eyes aren't looking off to the side like Mortimer's. It kinda works on him, but I'm glad to have Angel Eyes looking straight ahead. He's so cool...

you make a very good point about the problems with the Slim neck post. I tried putting a regular head with neck on a Slim TT and it looked like a bobblehead. Rainman is very talented and almost as detail obsessed as I am. I'm sure he'll come up with something.
And as long as we are making wishes about future Rainman customs I'll once again suggest these as possible follow ups:
1) Bounty Hunter Blondie
2) Sharps rifle
3) Buntline w/ stock
4) Desert Tuco

Dang, Entropy, where do you get these wonderful photos? I've never seen that one of Clint before!
I'm obsessed with this project.
And yes my Angel Eyes is looking slightly up and my Mortimer is looking straight ahead.

yeah agreed we need a another blondie!
Another version of Blondie would be cool, especially for those who haven't got one yet, but the only things needed to make the first version of Clint into a SA GBU Blondie, I think, would be the addition of the Colt 1851 Navy cartridge conversion pistol he used in the film (see Entropy Chicken's pic of it below). The Sharps rifle would be a nice addition, too.
* E.C. - Thanks for the time conversion link, btw. Much obliged.
