I agree a special item would be nice for those that bought the full set. What would you guys have in mind? Camcorder?

You have to register in order to go on his site.
In order to become a VIP you have to have placed a number of orders with rainman and be a repeat customer. He may have stopped issuing 'vip' status now though as there are a lot of us. Not sure though.
I just received VIP status and the implication from the email was that a few people were granted status at the same time.
I've bought 3 or 4 full figures from him.
Thing is, we arent talking bout loose slim bodies parted out from Sweeney Todd. Rainman is getting the original caucasian slim body TTM 09 that was originally released during 2009 and are quite scarce nowadays.

What's the reason for getting the original vs parted out?
Agreed. Seriously what's the difference? There is none.
And also, how do you so confidently know he is getting 20 of the TTM 09??
My whole point is just that it's not worth the extra money he's charging for the whole set to me. But if you feel it's worth it then fine. I don't care.

The Sweeney Todd skin tone is much lighter than the carded Slim was.
It will come with the stand, hands, neck, hands and feet pegs which can be tough to source out from the loose parts that are out on eBay.
Feet are needed as shoes Rainman sculpted usually use the sockets from the TT feet.
And I noticed that rainman is using the HT neck piece this time around for Marty.
I have to agree, it's ridiculous price jump imo, you could buy 89 bats or Joker for that much!
, and also the fact that this particular character has the most potential to get the hot toys treatment makes it a really expensive gamble.
If you think its not worth the money, its fine. But please be considerate to the artists involved as it may come across as rude to them.
Would you walk to an art exhibition and starts yelling out loud that the art pieces that are for sale are not worth the price because you know how much the paints, brushes and blank canvases cost at the art shop?

There is also the serious amount of skill that has gone into the number of accessories with Marty 
I can't remember a release where we got that many intricate accessories?
Also that is a shed load of clothing with Marty?
All adds up

As it stands all your paying extra for is the paintjob and the body with pegs and hands,there is not even an extra item for the fullset!
I understand the artist makes the price, but when you look at what other artists charge for paintjobs I can't help but feel he's overcharging and I'm not concerned about hurting his feeling either way Rainmans laughing all the way to the bank because fanboys will buy the full set no matter what.There is also the serious amount of skill that has gone into the number of accessories with Marty

And that can all be had with the clothing/accessory sets for a decent price, the fullset on the other hand does not add up.
It is what it is. Supposedly the full set sold out to "VIP"s anyway, so it seems to be a moot point. Personally, I wouldn't be so interested in the full set because it isn't a full Rainman figure (since he didn't sculpt the head). Nothing against ZKULPTOR, his sculpt is fantastic, but if I'm not getting a full piece of Rainman art I'm happy with saving a few hundred $$ and picking up a clothing/head set that I can put together myself. The exclusive accessories aren't a huge draw to me anyway. But, I can understand why others would be willing to pay that premium for Rainman's paintwork alone. It is something to behold.

Its not really fair to compare one artist to another, just like how you cant compare why MRM's Joker head is 1/4 or 1/5 of what guys like Bobby or Adam charges.
Some how I feel Erik Sosa's work and contribution is getting lost in all of this.
To be honest there shouldn't have ever been any "full sets" per se. It's not Rainman's gig here. It's both of theirs and without Erik this wouldn't have ever been on the Rainman map. This should've just been a, "hey Erik made this sculpt and Rainman mades these clothes, come get them if you want a set" we'll make a list.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Got mine for $25. (Sweeney body)
Yeah, but we all got tons of those laying around. The only area I might have trouble (have to check my bash box) is ankle pegs. But I got lots of feet hands and wrist pegs.

i personally am not buying this guy, now with that being said if you can't afford this and think it's too much for a full set buy the clothing nobody is twisting your arm and telling you to buy this, i don't get it people have a problem with the price and start crying about it. just don't buy it simple as that. p.s i think this is a awesome piece of art and congrats to the people that are getting it.
