Asmus Toys: Escape From New York Snake Plissken

[jespernicolaj]

It is all about the Kurt Russel hs. It needs to be amazing, other wise I'm not buying.

 

[kam veitch]

Hope they do him better than Ash.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I'm worried after seeing Boromir and how they still can't do hairlines.

 

[FlyAndFight]

If done right, I hope they work on a MacCready from "The Thing" next.

 

[DGSimo]

FYI in case anyone missed it, Asmus stated in the LOTR thread "questions for Asmus" that they're aiming to reveal Plissken around Comic Con time!

 

[JacktheRipper]

That's good news. Not expecting much based on their history. Hopefully they can knock this out of the park.

 

[Gipetto0812]

wonder if they'll use real leather like they did for Aragorn's duster and I think Dante's jackets? Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember them showing a BTS pic when developing Aragorn's duster with real leather showing the material with calipers indicating how thin they got it.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Looking forward to it but expectations are low.

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Hoping it turns out good. Would love for them to tackle a Russell/Carpenter trilogy of Plissken, Macready and Burton.

 

[DGSimo]

This guy is set to be revealed in a week! Cautiously optimistic since it's part of their prestige Crown line where the 2 Gandalf figures produced were evidently bangers so hopefully they knock it out of the park and not so much another Ash Willams. lol

He could steal the show, can be easy if other companies show crap.

Sideshow isn't going to SDCC, just doing it from their own office, so there's not much 1/6 compeition out there except the little guys. I remember running across Facepool figures on display at a regular booth in the middle of everything.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Facepool does nice WW2 stuff. I'd love to see them do Lawrence of Arabia.

I'm hoping Snake turns out well. I love the character and both movies.

Hmm wonder if it could be revealed there then if they're at the same time or just a blog post on their own social platforms?

Never seen that artwork before! Similar ones, but never that one specifically. Neat.

I’m still waiting on my Crown Gandalf the White (didn’t order direct from Asmus), but it’ll be interesting to see what Snake looks like.

I have a few I've collected.

I love the Shout Factory art so much. The second one and the one by Chelsea Lowe are also quite outstanding.

 

[Mr.E]

Badass artwork all around. I like the Mad Max "cameo" in that first one.

 

[BACON!]

I hope I can at least get a decent jacket for my sideshow figure out of this. And a decent belt with pouches
