Sideshow: The Clint Eastwood Legacy Collection (1:6 figures)

Yup still looks as bad as ever. And you can't even have his head tilted down to hide the cartoony eyes, because the lower half of the face doesn't look like Eastwood either.

I pre-ordered him, but all along I've been wary this one seemed more cartoony than the Preacher or Josey Wales. I'm hoping that in hand he'll look more natural.

Clothing and accessories look great but the headsculpt is just as bad as Blondie. Why did they not have Yixie sculpt the whole line?

Looks like what I would expect from Sideshow.

I literally think that their logic was, since Blondie and Munney are the more famous characters, that they’d sculpt them in house. Whereas characters like Josey and preacher could get outsourced because they’re more “niche”. It’s just that ironically their outsourced sculptor was much more talented than their in house sculptor.

You're probably right! They wanted to feel like "we" (Sideshow) had the honor of sculpting the iconic characters. Though, I'd say Dirty Harry is pretty iconic as well and I believe that one was sculpted by Yixie, too. Who really knows their logic?

Yeah I forgot Yi xie also sculpted their Dirty Harry figure

At first I thought it was the over-exaggerated squint, like on the MWNN figure. But in this case, I think the issue with the sculpt is the mouth/chin area. I think they should have went with a partly open mouth, like when he's talking out of the side of his mouth like he does for most of the film...

This is William Munny and it ain't from Sideshow

davejames · Sep 12, 2024

Yeah I have that sculpt and it's super cartoony as well, but is at least still recognizable as Clint.

Part of the problem with the sculpt is that it's too full. Clint was a bit gaunt and slender. SS's doesn't capture that at all.

Mostlyjustlurking · Sep 12, 2024

I honestly think going with the squint expression was a mistake. When I think of the final seen from Unforgiven, I'm picturing the "eyes wide open, Clint looking directly into my soul" expression. Plus it would have helped differentiate this figure from their previous Clint Sculpts

Like all sculpts it comes down to, We see what we see. This is the reason I created my tribute to the Western seeking out suitable parts, doing my own Thing, no rules, if you see a likeness it is fine, if you do not it is fine too.

The bottom line is.... It must be fun.

Do you know who created Munny Sculpt?

I own Snake, Redman, Sideshow and the one I find is the best is the Snake.

A piece of you might want the sideshow, that's what happened to me, but in the end Sideshow does have better clothing, but where it counts in the Face, Snake and Redman are better...but Snake has the best execution.

What about Present Toys? It seems the most accurate to my eyes.

The eyes...some say they are the windows to the soul. I only wanted one Clint Eastwood figure, it had to be The Outlaw Josey Wales, my first Western on the big screen. I have been tempted, acquired The Pale Rider sculpt I may create my own Pale Rider....Revelation 6 8.

Might be. I always thought, Snake was the exact same as Present toys except with seamless arms....

Great! MYTH FACTORY have now moved the arrival date for my Josey Wales to Q4 October

Got an email from MYTH FACTORY excitingly thinking it to be an invoice for my Josey Wales.

Alas my excitement quickly turned to disappointment

This was my first time pre-ordering from these guys, and most probably my last.
