I painted up my cane last week. It was the finishing piece that I needed to complete one of my grails which. Now sits rightfully at the top of the heap of my favorite and best figures as it should. When I realized how much the old rainman ankxh I never really was gaga for in the first lace, really didn’t hold up over time it was a depressing sore spot in the collection when in my opinion, any hardcore film fan would agree that Alex from Clockwork needs to be among the best of the best.
It’s why I’m almost shocked that after EarlHickey saved the day with this amazing head and cane sculpts, thst there were so little ordered from him. About as shocked that we’ve seen so little renditions of Alex over the years.
In any case I’m very grateful that this run got put together and I was fortunate enough to have cherry picked the best items of all the renditions we have seen from Alex because I’ve always been on the ball when it comes to Alex.
I’ll post pictures soon, I ended up with these two items on the medicom, Garoua redman or sourced accessories and the rainman mask, codpeice and Jesus. I was able to sell the rainman for the original price I paid for too which is all that mattered to me.
I don’t buy these for exclusivity, I don’t by them to have complete runs from artists even if I love the artist and their work, if I can fix something and be happier with it I’ll go the hell in and do it.
No judgement on anyone who collects the opposite ways, that’s cool too.
Soapbox/rant done.
Anyways what gives the barometer of how much I value a figure or a character in my way too large probably almost 300 figure deep collection is if I find myself staring at it over and over or getting that “new” or just finished high every time I see it. It’s oretty rare that happens but it’s happening here! So happy with Alex finally.
Thanks again earlhickey!
