Since he is making the finale costume, I just want the torn up outer jacket to be included as well.
I agree. Gotta have that ratty overcoat! I think he may seem a little naked without it, even though it looks like a fair amount of work for Rainman.

Good points made. In the pics he does look a little light in the beard area.
About the metal snaps, maybe he could use the smaller metal hooks and thread loops, like he did with the cuffs on Blondie's shirt. They don't show at all on my figure. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

As you may see on e-ureka shop https://www.e-ureka.com/shop , The complete sets were sold out.
The angel eyes was already produced two version.
I guess blondie would be produced another version... (I hope so...
).Anyway, Don't miss this 'the Ugly'.
The pre-ordering for 'the Ugly' will be started... probably early next month.

You mean "the Ugly"
What were the 2 versions of Angel Eyes? To my knowledge there was only one version.
Alos, can you elaborate on a second version of Blondie? Hopefully a completely different version, and not a better one, or everyone who got the first version will be pretty upset (me included).

Oh! I'm sorry I meant 'the Ugly'... I corrected... Thanks.
And I meant Lee Van Cleef...
I think the second version of Blondie should be a different head sculpt with a different clothing...

dude lets all hope the first version of blondie was blondie from few dollars more... this is somewhat correct since he was wearing the pistol grip. we need another version of blondie because i want to complete my gbu collection lol.

damn... different clothing... rainman should just improve the the clothing on the first release make the poncho better!
the bounty hunter blondie although it would be nice to have its not really iconic and wouldn't complete the collection for the guys who missed the first release.
I think it's an iconic look too. And sure it would complete a G&B&U set and at least an Eastwood, Van Cleef, Wallach set, assuming you already got a Mortimer or Angel Eyes. There's no look left for a third Van Cleef. Though if we go get a second Bounty Hunter Blondie, I wouldn't mind a second Tuco too in his desert outfit and sombero, so us diehards would have 2 sets of each actor.

blah i wish he would offer all of the figures in regular editions so its not so damn limited.
i can careless for the certificate of the fancy box.
even if he were to make a 2nd run of the first releases such as mortimer or blondie unpainted with clothing I would take it.
I only have angel eyes btw.... and theres no way im missing tuco he's my favorite of the bunch.
I don't mean to step on your toes EC but how is the bounty hunter blondie iconic? Do you see flyers, movie posters and dvd covers with with Clint Eastwood dressed in those clothes? .... not really... not at all. When people talk about Clint Eastwood in GBU do they ever describe him as the guy who wore a long trench coat and used a spencer rifle?... I don't think so.
If you search it out, there are figures and posters of Blondie in his bounty hunter attire. Sure it's not as iconic as the poncho because he spends the entirely of the next 2 films in that outfit. Considering GBU alone, he spends first half of the picture in the BH garb. Only at the end when teaming up with Angel Eyes does he get the other costume. Is the Werewolf Michael Jackson costume in Thriller iconic and memorable? yes. Is the red leather jacket more well known? yes as well. 
I'm with Reinhardt and against rehashes and improved versions of costumes Rainman has already done. Judging by the very long list of suggestions offered, Rainman has a lot of options for fresh designs.

The poncho Blondie is more iconic and I would prefer that one however, seeing as I missed out on that one, if Rainman offers a bounty hunter Blondie with revised headsculpt, I may be interested.
More interested in what else Rainman is going to be offering soon, but don't want to pollute this thread.

Please support your statement and show me some posters and figures of this version of blondie. Remember Raiman offered this eastwood right after he did mortimer plus he included the pistol grip he wore only in a few dollars more.... so why dont you take the former release for a few dollars more and not GBU. Hell I wouldn't mind if he didn't include the pistol grip or the saddle bag he included with your guys' version. he can throw in the spencer rifle and half of the gold coins instead.If you search it out, there are figures and posters of Blondie in his bounty hunter attire.

Against rehashes because you guys already got the figure?..... seriously thats selfish. It's not like you guys will buy every single thing rainman has to offer so I don't see a problem with the guys who already have the version 1 release to wait out during that period and save their money on future releases. Let's be honest here... how many people are actually going to get this "bounty hunter version" if they already have the definitive "man with no name" figure. The only reason you have people suggesting this second version to be in the bounty hunter outfit is because they don't want the one they already own to be inferior in design or lower in value...

I'm against rehashes when the originals are sold as limited edition items. If they were billed as 'open editions' or from a mass produced company, fine. When part of the appeal is the small number and exclusivity as art pieces then, yes, new or improved versions of the same thing are something I'm against. Could Rainman sell twice or three times as many figures as he makes of each edition? I'm sure he could but I like that he does not and keeps the numbers relatively low.
There are many figures I wish I had the chance to get (INAE's Tyler Durden, Kojun's Jack Sparrow) and couldn't whether that was because of geography (those South Korean customizers are amazing), or lack of funds, or not knowing at the time, but still I don't think they should make more just for me.
You may not see it as such, but the Bounty Hunter Blondie costume is bad ass! and I welcome Rainman making it. And he doesn't use a Spencer rifle. In GBU he uses both an 1874 Sharps and a modified 1866 Remington "Yellowboy" to look like an 1860 Henry.

Also, GatackFC, it has nothing to do with not wanting you or anyone else to have a certain figure, it's about if something is sold as "limited to 20 or whatever" worldwide then making more in a few months of the same thing makes that meaningless.
I've luckily been able to get each of the Gunmen so far and, for what it's worth, I think the Blondie is the weakest of the three. Col. Mortimer is still my favorite. The black duster, suit, rifle and pipe all look killer on my shelf. A Bounty Hunter Blondie seems like good way all around for people to get a Blondie in their collections while still allowing for Rainman to make something new and different.
What we shouldn't forget is that we're all fans of the films here.
