karamazov80 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks Shane. That's in reference to this! I'm pretty sure that Denny Kim/Iminime/Masterworks is doing a Doc Holliday, alongside Kurt Russell Wyatt Earp and possibly Michael Biehn Johnny Ringo soon. Today I got something that has been a huge want of mine for a long, long time. It was initially my idea, and I'm humbled that JOhnny Cheung agreed to take it on--Teen Wolf! Interestingly, I got him on the same day that I also got the Hot Toys Marty Mcfly, though I haven't opened McFly yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I agree! Marty McFly got opened last night. An improvement over the custom I had in many ways, despite the custom being a product of an all-star team including Trevor Grove, Rainman, Cheungkinmen, and Yunsil.

karamazov80 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Agreed! Love the Jack sculpt here, and Danny as well. Both capture the essence of these characters so well. My pictures don't really do justice to Danny and that amazing trike made by Robbie the Painter. They combine to form one of the most awesome 1/6 scale items I've ever seen, in terms of the detail, quality, and aesthetics. And look how rare this set is! Only 9 produced! . . .one thing I didn't mention is that there were 40+ "super" sets of Jack, Danny, and the Twins (I didn't shell out for the twins). Pretty crazy how much people paid to have these figures, as awesome as they are. The super set was over $2,500.

UK Collector Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 They really are amazing. It's astonishing what Rainman and co. create for 'amateurs'. Although I know of his reputation, I don't actually know Rainmans story. Did he used to work for one of the big guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Awesome figures. I love the detail on Danny. Your collection amazes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he used to work for one of the big guys?Though I don't know his full story either, he has done some licensed work, but not Sideshow or Hot Toys that I know of. I believe he got his start doing dolls with big heads and eyes in Korea (called "ball jointed dolls"), and somehow found his way into this several years ago. In terms of the craftsmanship, his work usually trumps Hot Toys. Particularly when you look at the small detail work that he sculpts by hand. It's incredible. For example, his next release is Regan from the Exorcist, and he did this as an accessory: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Out with the old: In with the new: Sculpt and paintwork by MJ Choi. Soon I'll have an updated outfit from Rainman's tailor, an updated body (Bruce Banner), and it will be the ultimate Indy for me.

Mysterious Stranger Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 A quick, somewhat on topic question... can you give me the dimensions for the shelves in your detolf? I picked one up, at a yard sale sans shelves, for $25 ... need to get some glass cut now ;-) Thanks! The shelves themselves are 11" by 15".
