The Skipper by Iminime & Rainman

[denny kim]

hi Guys,

The Robe is being made, but the inner shirt cannot be done like that look because it will show the body~
But we will figure it out how we can solve it.

I think the option outfit will be shown sometime next week.

RE : Sales

Don't worry ~ it's the thing that I take care, so you don't need to be stressed.

Just a quick note, from next project, our normal price range will be higher. I realized that we spent more than the income~~^^;;

so, this will be the a kind of last figure that is offered that price.

Thanks~

Denny

Was anyone quoting you Lejuan?

Didn't even notice you were in this thread.

I think all those talkings should stop NOW.
Let's get this thread back on track.

I think that the problem is clearly the sculpt! I have a lot of respect for rainman! I'm a vip member on his site and own his fight club figure but I really think that the three sculpts that he did for Iminime could be improved! I know that Denny like them and I have no problem with that but it's way to much stylised for me!!

The others thing is that the sculptors of Iminime continue to blow my mind at every release! I really think that denny should let his own sculptors work on every figure and Let rainman to be the art director!

I have to say, rainman has clearly his own style and everyone is not a fan of it! I really think that Rainman should continue to do his stuff and Iminime theirs! There is room for everyone!

Just my two cents..

ps: After seeing the PS edit of thrust, there is no doubt that with few improvements, it will be insane!

ps2: Even me, a die hard batman nolan collector, I had to pass on the butler because of that!

Hello Mr. Anderson please clear your inbox sir

Ouch now everyone will be blaming poor tony for rising prices.

It's not about quantity but quality price and timeline set aside its just about not rushing to production and taking time to make consumer edits. It might be a slowing down kind of thing that needs to be done here.

Hello guys,

After having a serious consideration, I would like to hear some suggestions and opinions for this project.

Possibly, we are willing to modify the face if this is a major suggestions.

In this case, I would love to hear the voice of the customers who already paid for it.

Please let me know if you already ordered it or not when you suggest. in that way, I can clearly check things and figure it out.

I will gather opinions until Thursday, thanks

Also, I am thinking to include a possible accessory(Simple one)
Please let me know what is your suggestion.

i bought one, but it seems fine to me.

 

[Raymond F.]

I'm glad you are considering reworking it Denny as you know I sent you payment for this even before I was allowed to I want it that bad. I like it a lot but I think some can be improved:

Accessories :

Cigar
Newspaper
Bowl of ice cream
Prozac pills
Bird feed
Stack of cash
Necklace
Watch


Suggestions For the outfit :

None (looks great I think)

Suggestions for the face:

It needs a bit of work, the overall shape of the head from the side seems a bit too compressed, his eyes are a bit too small/squinted and look a bit Asian. The shape of his hairline can be adjusted a little.

The features are there but the overall shape of his head is quite off I think, maybe Rainman can do another head altogether and we can vote on the one we like better? I know thats work but it will improve sales I think.


Suggestions for the body:

Just needs some finessing, again I'll bump my pics for reference.

 

[Raymond F.]

LOL my tony made the reference point mood board!

!

I may have more too I'll try and take more tomorrow

This is a great move from you Denny! Good news for those who ordered and those on the fence...

 

[PopCultKid]

Denny, you're the man!!!! I didn't buy one but now you got me interested again!! I will send my suggestions and you can count me in.

If you can take the best of our suggestions and put them all together, this will be the Tony we were looking for!


Just when I thought I was out....

Hey Walt, you and me tanning Tuesday's?

 

[Raymond F.]

I did this photomanip with the existing sculpt in mind by doing simple but clear modifications...

1) fill out and fatten up the lower part of the face and neck. all around the head and slightly to the cheeks the skinniness of the lower half of his head is what looks weird.
2) completely reshape his eyebrows, they are too pointed upward and narrow
3) the biggest thing I think is really softening or removing the thickness the lower part of his eyelid, this is the number one thing that makes him look Asian. Also widening his eyes a little bit also
4) make his jaw/chin much longer, his jaw is a lot bigger than in Rainman's sculpt
5) make his neck much much shorter

We've also not seen this sculpt from the side but please look at Z's sculpts side shot. He really got the shape of James' head right.

 

[Raymond F.]

here's another angle... i implemented the same changes I listed above

 

[chilipep66]

absolutely essential modifications all the way. If this guidline is followed, we will have a near perfect Tony

 

[denny kim]

I need opinions from other people who already ordered it.

It's a bit risky work, I need to be sure ~

For Accessories, We are considering to put a couple of only.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Denny

 

[K.bowen]

seriously i see nothing wrong with the figure, what about the people who are happy with it? is there any one else?
will all the changes and additions take the figure up in price?
