I'll get the figure for sure, well for sure as long as the quality looks good enough.
However,
Hondo has never been one of my favourite westerns. I watched it again last night, and it largely falls apart due to one line that states that the current year is 1870.
If only they'd adjusted it to a few years later some of the anachronisms would've been eliminated. But then it was 1950s Hollywood, and they rarely cared for accuracy, and most of the audience wouldn't have known any better or cared either.
Hondo's sidearm is an 1873 Colt SAA, which is also used by the cavalry in the film.
Wayne used his trademark Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine with its oversized lever loop, as he did in many westerns.
The cavalry in Hondo commit the same errors as in Wayne's
Fort Apache (1948, set in 1872 at the latest),
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949, set in 1876) and
The Horse Soldiers (1959, set in 1863): The troopers wear shirts and suspenders not authorized nor generally observed until the 1880s.
In
Hondo,
Fort Apache and
The Horse Soldiers the cavalry officers and NCOs all have wide yellow stripes on their trousers. In this period the regulations were as follows:
Officer: 1/8" welt (See
DID's Lt. John Dunbar)
Sergeant: 1 1/2"
Corporal: 1/2"
Private: No stripe
Infinite Statue's new piece representing Wayne in
The Horse Soldiers is therefore nonsense historically...
Nevertheless, if Kaustic Plastik were to make this as a 1/6 figure I wouldn't be able to resist as I think you could probably push him forward in time to the 1880s and ignore the Civil War source.
The regulations concerning trouser stripes were changed in 1872
Officer: 1 1/2"
Sergeant:1"
Corporal:1/2"
Private: No stripe
On the subject of trousers, Hondo has anachronistic belt loops on his, which I think is typical for Wayne's western movie costuming.
Besides that, 1/6 Hondo would work well as a cavalry scout for later periods as is. Or earlier by changing his sidearm.
One other thing, and it's something
Hondo got right: Sam the Rough Collie is a period accurate breed that was gaining popularity in the 1800s.
(Sam was played by Pal, while a male dog he had the distinction of being the first Lassie, and played her in numerous films and the TV series).
Waited for years and now we have Duke, Eastwood, Sly, and Norris full speed ahead with official figures. Love it
