Rainman wishlist thread

[eighthsamurai]

It's true. The list has to start somewhere. We can spend months talking about who should be on the list before we even vote And there's really no reason to make it more than 5 because that just complicates things; we're trying to narrow it down. Sure this list can be revised 10 times, but it shouldn't. It's 5 of the most popular choices with nothing being too left field so these are all probably instant sell outs. I think this list is even solid enough to say that these are the next 5 figs that should be made (Well maybe something left field like Prince Akeem or So Nuff should get stuck in the middle to break it up). The only question is in what order

I know it's a pipe dream but I've been wanting this crew for a long time. But where would it end? I'd need at least Pink, Slater, Dawson, O'Bannion, and Wooderson! F__k Mitch though :lol

true, but what's wrong with having more than 5? as always, the polls and lists we create are not to dictate to rainman what to make and in what order (that has never really worked), but to show him what people are interested in. if anything on that list resonates with him, he'll make it. i don't think it's a good approach to assume any list is a definite release schedule. personally, i'd be much happier showing him a larger list of characters because at the end of the day it should be his decision, and that gives him more choice.

and i'm sure the list teddy posted are 5 of the most popular choices but not quite the 5 most popular (almost but not quite). some of rainman's regulars and oldest customers don't post as much. they post a want, it gets discussed, it gains a lot of favour and they move on. some of those choices should be recognized at least. there's nothing wrong with it, but the wants that are posted repeatedly are beginning to stick in people's minds as the most popular when actually, there have just been more posts about them by the same people.

oh and.... dazed and confused is a great movie. american graffiti, D&C, superbad - it's like the same movie spread over 3 generations :lol

Thats why I said everyone should do their own personal top 10 of figures they would like Rainman to do.

The trick is to list them in no particular order.

Compile everyone's top ten into one list and post that list on one post so everyone can see.

Depending how many people participate you could get a very long list of figures but some figures are bound to repeat and thats what we should be looking for.

If a figure reaches a count of 15 to 30 then we know we have a winner. If there is truly 5 figures that everyone seems to be mentioning then we can then narrow it down to 3 figures.

From those 3 figures create a poll.

Might be a good idea to start a fresh interest thread and only allow Top ten list posts.

Give everyone a deadline to submit their top ten lists. I think this would be the most unbiased way to go. The numbers won't lie

:lecture this i like. but rather than present rainman with the top 3 and create a poll, i'd say just show him the top 6 or 7. and then let him decide.

 

[uscmhicks]

Mickey I'd like most I think , Torrence and Bickle would be buys for me also. I'm really happy with my Anton but I'd imagine Rainman would convince me.

It is a good idea to let Rainman ultimately decide on the character as this art after all and I'm sure a certain amount of push and passion for the character would be required in order for it to look as great as they always do.

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

Personally, I'd rather just see Rainman do his thing and surprise us. It's no mystery that Bickle, Torrance, Bateman are at the top of the list. Somehow I feel as though Rainman may want to do Anton fairly soon, hopefully after Plainview. It will shake things up really well, it's a character that is just right w/ artistic niche, the majority respect, and it just screams Rainman with all the interesting accessories.

Or we can show him the entire list and let him see the numbers for himself.

Either way I am all about letting everyone see the data for themselves. At the moment the same people are posting the same figures over and over again just so it can stay fresh in our minds. Doing that doesn't really tell the entire story.

Not only that I really want to see others top ten list. Should be fun

 

[Calvin Candie]

i really hope he does jack torrence but i would have to buy anton chigurh and patrick bateman.

I agree he should do what he feels best, but it wouldn't hurt to have an organized list where he can look at with more clarity. Maybe Bickle is more popular than a Bateman or an Anton. Maybe people bring up some very good suggestions that surprises everyone.

Some people like myself have no idea how many people would like a Sho-Nuf until a big list is compiled.

Not only that I really want to see others top ten list. Should be fun

I suggested the poll thing almost two weeks ago in the Iminime thread and said basically the same thing. These wishlists have been fun with chuckin' up cool screen grabs and ideas and seeing everyones suggestions. But I thought a more orginazied way of showing that 1-3 characters have serious support would make things that we want come to life. Like I said in the other thread, There are A LOT of things suggested here that I'd want, from the most mainstream to the smallest niche. Probably at least 20, no b.s.

That's the point. There are like 30 suggestions here that get anywhere from 1-7 guys saying "I'm in for that". There's really nothing winning by a landslide like this. I thought a poll or whatever form of orginazation can help to group interest and weigh it on a winner. Like it's been said, the numbers don't lie.

But maybe that's not the way to go about it. The other option is to continue as we're doing and leave it up to Rainman to weed thru the thread and make his own decision and surprise us.

It makes it interested when you do a personal top ten and in no particular order. I think it cuts down on time trying to figure out which one you want most by priority. Naturally you will start off with the most wants, but it won't matter in the end once it gets compiled in the master list

Here's mine

(Again its in no particular order)

Data (from Goonies)
Sho-nuf
Madmartigan (Val Kilmer from the movie Willow)
Willow (From the movie Willow)
Bruce Leroy
Bickle
Anton
Bates
Amsterdam (GONY)
Ringo (Tombstone)

Here I can include my personal wants without having someone shoot me down. I just submit it and let it get compiled. Others on this list are ones suggested by other members, but would be a buy for me.

 

[eighthsamurai]

i'd totally buy a sloth from goonies, but seeing data in 1/6 form with all his gadgets and his mini trenchcoat would be hilarious too! :lol

this would be mine:

raoul duke
eric draven
mcmurphy in straitjacket
d-fens
frank white
verbal kint
axel foley (especially as iminime has confirmed they're not doing one )
oldman dracula
black swan portman
mickey from snatch

it's really hard to pick even 10! i'd buy these and more from rainman. going back there was mad interest for so many other cool ideas - stuff not on my list that really stuck out as being right up rainman's street.

however, i fully support anton, pat bateman and especially travis bickle... think these really are the most popular.

I'll post pictures of Sloth once Elvis is done with him :wink1:

 

[amarcord]

I would love to see him create a figure of Gary Oldman as Dracula.

Sinister in his red robe...

 

[meth head]

Mine would be

Travis Bickle
Patrick Bateman
Mickey
Jack Torrence
Anton Chigurh
Randle McMurphy
Teddy Daniels
Vincent Collateral
Blade Runner
Indiana Jones

 

[BlitzOUT]

Teddy Daniels would be great at this point. But we need Travis first:lecture

 

[armysoldier74b]

C'mon lets keep get this thing rolling. Post your top ten. If your willing to buy a figure thats not in your top ten then you have to make a decision whether you want it in your top ten or not.
Just know that if it gets made you will buy it.

Everyone post your top tens and I'll compile an excel spread sheet and post the results by Sunday. Its not a FINAL LIST just a snapshot of what everyone wants. As more people submit their top tens then the list will grow and change.

Choose wisely the first time you make your list and keep in mind these figures are going to run $800 dollars. So if its something you would like, but not willing to spend $800 dollars (or more on) then take it off your list.

The List posted will have ALL the figures mentioned and will be sorted in order by most mentioned to the least.

Figures mentioned only 1 time will be sorted in Alphabetical order

The list will be posted ONLY on this thread and not emailed to Rainman, so the data cannot be manipulated in anyway.

 

[BlitzOUT]

1. Travis Bickle
2. Teddy Daniels
3. Al (Quantum Leap)
4. H.I (Raising Arizona)
5. Anton
6. Royal Tenenbaum
7. Patrick Bateman
8. Barton Fink
9. Nucky Thompson
10. Wyatt Earp

My top ten
