Yeah, I've been really impressed with what I've seen from iminime, even though Ra's will be my first piece from them (apart from the paint work they will do on my Rainman Doc set). Regarding paintwork alone, I think what those guys have done looks clearly superior to that of DF Studios, who previously did Rainman's parted sets and spare heads. And I hope he considers using them in the future if the agreement is mutually beneficial.
And it looks like you are getting some real hands on influence now with your role as intermediary axe. Knowing your interest in doing more than passive "wishlisting," I'm glad this is happening for you and that you might be able to help better translate the interests of the boards to those guys and vice versa. :duff
