Rainman wishlist thread

[transhi100]

Norman Bates would be a great choice. Never occurred to me before but I think that'd make a great Rainman figure.

A Norman Bates figure would be great. maybe a Toshiro Mifune from Yojimbo.

Just curious, how much do private commissions cost? I doubt I could afford one, but maybe 5+ years down the road?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

$5,000

In 5 plus years you're looking at 10k for a private comission :wink1:

Private commissions aren't worth it in my opinion unless money isn't an issue. Those are glass ceiling prices for figures we can patiently wait for and get at $1500 tops. 1 of 1 stuff is easily forgotton and people seem to get over it quicker than when there's the thrill of the hunt or chase involved with collecting.

Rainman needs to give Hitchcock some love.

Most of the other characters from his films were just guys in suits or women in dresses, though.

A Perkins Bates would be a great choice! Quick question! Anybody like Psycho 2? I thought it was a pretty good sequel. Still stands up today!

Couldn't agree more!

Long shot but I'd love these to get the treatment .

That is probably true...I can't think of 1 figure I would pay more than 3, 000 for

Interesting. I'm still working my way through grad school, but I just wanted a rough idea for... Well... Dreams haha. I see zero chance of any top custom maker doing a 1/6 Jerome and Vincent from Gattaca. And a slim chance of high end Inception figures.

I've always wondered why there wasn't a different way to go about doing this. Like maybe $5000 to do a private commission, but if there were lots of interest by others, maybe allow Rainman to turn it into a full run and give the original commission guy a refund of $2000-$3000?

IMO, the way I see it, collecting unique or custom 1 of 1 figures is much the same as owning a super sport car! :lol

If anyone capable to spend over $5K on a 1/6 custom 1 of 1 figure, then money is not an issue to most of them!
In fact, they may not allow that commission to go public!

 

[siquisiri]

Not even remotly the same!! Lol. Ive had 2 classic cars in my younger years and while they look increbile, theyre money pits.. wayyyyy worse than high end figs... But damn if i dont miss them! Lol

 

[Hosam-G]

I still want this to happen!

 

[Laney74]

I'd love to see RM take this on

:exactly:

This would be rms masterpiece!

I had been posting this as a wishlist request early on in this thread and I'm still very much determined to see if Rainman does it one day. ray:
