Rainman Discussion

@ZaidaBoBaida , no, they just do limited pre-order periods, and they don't do all the sculpts at once. The recently discontinued sculpts had multiple previous order periods. I have two Renes which were casted from two different order periods (and are slightly different colors). The discontinuations did seem rather sudden once they were announced, though. But I suppose all discontinuations feel like that.

 

Renee is one of the ones I'd really like to have - her and July. Though I'm thinking to order Eva and Blina. Though I can't find any examples of Eva faced up besides the one on opaleighty's website.

 

Let us know I don't have time lately to be on the computer

I don't know, I think Rainman is artistically flaky and simply does what he wants when he wants. Thus, he could disappear any time??? Then reappear with open orders. I'd just keep an eye out on his site and see if you can get what you want second hand?

 

That might be true - I don't know - but Fantyfoo definitely has a closed eye July available. Someone said they wanted one.

ETA - he cant be that big of a flake. I ordered two heads last week and I already have my tracking order.

 

@IngieBee, admittedly the order periods seem to pop up out of nowhere, but I got all my orders in the timeframe promised, and Opaleighty on IG was excellent with communication about the order, sent me pictures, tracking, asked what I wanted it valued for, and everything. I don't think flakiness is really something to worry about. You just have to keep an eye out for the order periods is all.

 

Oh, no, I meant Rainman is the artistic (but beloved) "flake" LOL. As long as these ladies can take care of the business side, we're all in a good place

 

Don’t worry, IngieBee!!! I think any of us, who have been along for the ride with Rainman since 2005, have seen all the pageantry and artistic “flakery” and know EXACTLY what you meant! He and his teams have always filled EVERY one of their orders, but we also know that, once orders are fulfilled, the time line of “be back soon” and “see you later” are subject to artistic interpretation.

 

Exactly @KathrynB

 

I see that several people have already been confused by and asked about how to pay for orders from Rainman, but I cannot seem to find a PayPal address anywhere on Rainman's website or in this thread. I did not see one after I finished my order, either, but maybe I just missed it. I am worried about sending money to the wrong place. Does anyone who has recently ordered know what the right PayPal address is?
I don't know if it makes a difference, but I ordered a blank head.

 

I contacted Opaleighty on Instagram about this, as she runs the website. She does say to place the order online, but then pay to her PayPal directly at [email protected]. You might also want to add a note to your PayPal payment with the order number and whatnot, as well as contacting her on Instagram just to let her know you placed and paid for an order.

 

Thank you! I’ll contact her on Instagram.

 

I paid opaleighty.

 

Yeah, it’s definitely Opaleighty! She’s absolutely wonderful. I can’t wait to see the new heads she teased on IG at the end of last year.

 

Thanks, everyone. I messaged her on Instagram to confirm then paid for my order. I’m now waiting for a blank Eva head!

 

Well shoot - I have a blank Eva head I've been thinking of parting with. Oh well....

 

All this Eva talk made me want to post my girl. Eva by C. Pemberton, on Flickr

 

Ah! She's beautiful @Cherylsdolls

 

@Cherylsdolls , she’s gorgeous! Thanks for sharing

 

She is beautiful. My Eva is still waiting for body, please which one do you use? And is this head from first release by Rainman or from second via OpalEighty?

 

This Eva head is on the Rainman body. She was from the first release. I have another Eva head I just got recently.
