Brilliant choice. Perfect timing.

Looking forward to seeing how he tackles this.
Something I've hoped for for a while now but thought I was whistling in the wind wanting it (it was up there on the 'unrealistic' list with a Clint & Clyde combo from 'Any Which Way But Loose' and a 'just pop me **** in the bathroom cabinet' Brundlefly).
The malformed body itself is going to take some doing with the bony protrusions and flipperesque hand:
Hopefully, the sack cloth/cap/coat & cane 'street walking' look will be catered for, as well as an 'unbagged/unmasked' Merrick:
As well as an 'accepted into society' version of Merrick in all his finery (theatre binocolours as an extra, please):
This is a film that properly s##t me up as a kid (first saw it when I was about six or seven), but also one of the first I ever remember shedding a tear at. A rare movie that simultaneously manages to capture humanity at it's very worst and very best, with a true life figure who suffered through unimaginable adversity, but never pitied himself or looked for pity from others.
The fact John Hurt himself recently passed away makes this a most timely tribute and I for one love the fact RM is prepared to take it on.

I would buy this for sure.
At least with this Release I know I wouldn't have to worry about Battling Everyone within the First Few Minutes to try and Lock one down!

Excellent choice - this is right up his alley I think. I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.

Been wayyyy out of the loop the last few months, so thought I might have missed this one. Glad to see that's not the case.
Seriously impressed with all the detailed work he's done on the body; the clustered bony protrusions, the oversized feet, hand etc. Full figure, all 'suited up', looks fantastic (even if that feels a highly inappropriate term to use, given the subject).

Is this the only thread on this release?
I am stunned at the lack of discussion about this upcoming figure.

Some quick photo catch up for those who don't do social media:
There are some more WIPs on his instagram as usual: https://www.instagram.com/rainmanking/
This release looks to be incredibly impressive and I too am surprised by the lack of attention it's been getting on here.

PO: May 5th.
He also seems to have updated his website and needs people to make new accounts. That's probably pretty important.
I wonder if that affects current VIPs?

I too asked about how the VIP information would transfer.
The response was..............not helpful.

Amazing piece of art, and the Hurt likeness on that bust is top notch!

Judging from this thread seems to be little interest. I believe this will be open for 24 hours like Dull Boy.

From what i've seen there will be the suit clothing set and the robe/head cloth outfit set? Accessories seem to be the portrait of his mother, cane, and the Hurt bust.
The conundrum here is that the figure itself then has 3 potential views, one of which is unclothed.

I wondered because of the lack of interest is why he is only
having a 1 day window? It is so odd for a R/M release
there is no longer the Excitement of pass releases
