BLITZWAY - 1/6 Carlito's Way

[ali032373]

What sucked was the puff daddy prequel. Guy with money thinks he has talent and botches any hope of a decent franchise.

My first custom figure was an Arnie Kim original piece I got back in 2004. This will be the first mass produced figure I get from this artist. I'm glad he choose to do the Boricua from New York and even happier that he completely destroyed any previous Pacino likenesses.

I love Kojun's Hanna

 

[meth head]

I never realised he did Hanna? Is that not Feng's?

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

Nevermind Kojun, Whatever happened to Harue the greatest 1/6 tailor EVER!!

 

[PopCultKid]

I'm ridiculously pumped for this This movie/character is on my all time top 10 bigtime!!

I can't believe how many people haven't seen this yet. You dudes are missing out. FACT: this is a classic. So get the Blu Ray/DVD/Netflix or whatever ASAP. It's a keeper. But till then I'll hold you over

Yeah beautiful figure, but I always found it a little lacking in likeness personally.

Clothes and shoes are stunning

Man, the suit and sunglasses look great. I dug the movie enough, not one of my faves but alright, and I had no intention of buying but something that looks this good makes it difficult.

Carlito's Way is my favorite Pacino film they did a job great on sculpt and on the outfit.

Yea it is a bit dated (no offense to any owners), but still all and all a bad ass piece and the only full fig offering to date. Kojun did this in late 2007 around the time when HT were setting the bar with things like the Colonial Marines. So at the time things like this were ground breaking.

Fast forward 5 years and you have BW, the new kid on the block steppin' to the plate with a killer mass produced offering. Just the evolution of the hobby I guess.

I'm hoping that they're giving us both outfits shown. That would make this worth the $200(give or take) price tag. I can't really think of any accessories he'd come with aside from his gun so two outfits are a must.

Plus, the outfits aren't different enough to warrant two releases.

Why are Blitzway releasing another Pacino character ?
Its like when Asmus Toys used to release Jim carrey figures, The Mask, Riddler, Ace Ventura etc.

Cool, thanks for that. Yes agree with void that the clothing is stunning however the likeness is not great.

Blitzway/Arnie would kill Hanna I am sure

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

That Carlito can very well be the greatest likeness ever achieved for a mass produced 1/6 product. This thing is insanely good.

My mother grew up in the Barrio, she always loved this flick and enjoys my collection. She's gonna flip when she sees this on the shelf.

Yeah, based on the few pics seen so far, it certainly has the potential to claim that title

 

[PopCultKid]

Here's hoping that the production run looks at least 90% as good as this.

It's not a bad thing brother. We need more official releases of the Casino's, Good Fellas', Reservoir Dog's, Pulp Fiction's, etc of the world. I hope that BW will be the ones to tackle things of this ilk and Enterbay can lend a hand too. We can leave all the Sci-fi and comic culture stuff to HT.

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

It still might be to early to tell but I think Blitzway has hit their stride. They are certainly carving out a market for niche characters, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're already planning on touching characters like Patrick Bateman/American Psycho in the future. I got my eye on this company.
