I think and I'm honestly not offended and can't even currently afford a RM release so this is just me being honest, but i think the problem is we all see the influence you have on RM being his friend, which is fine, but it does sometimes seem like you abuse that relationship to get what you want which others pointed out sometimes seems to be a flavor of the week rather then a well thought, planned epic Rainman release it could be if his heart was in it.
Don't get me wrong, we likely wouldnt have gotten the Dude and Alex without you but it does seem, especially with that last poll, like your sort of asking us, hey guys which of my own personal most wanted figures would you also happen to buy if RM makes them, moreso then hey heres a random poll with iconic movie characters to choose from. It also feels like RM has lost some magic of making his own choices which make them more art then a project.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around why were getting a $900 Val Kilmer toy for example and Rick Deckard or Travis Bickle (just going on what seems to get alot of requests from others) weren't an option. Or for that matter, John Wayne or a more iconic Western role.
So having said that I do prefer that a character like David be commissioned rather then a full time consuming release.
Again sorry hopefully this doesn't offend you I'm just trying to be honest in why I think there is some animosity. If your going to sort of be RM's advisor as he's had with SantaJack etc in the past, you should put your own personal wants aside for the time being and just focus on the majority and how what the majority wants can jive with what interests RM.
Anyway just trying to be honest again, so pls don't take this as a tirade or anything, as for the sculpt it's one of RM's best, congrats.
, I've commissioned two sculpts of David and I'm now looking into getting a tailor for the coat so everyone else can have a David figure if they want one.
