BLITZWAY - 1/6 Carlito's Way

[ishothimsixtimes]

BUMP for a great figure and a great company. Pre-ordered the Tyler Durden figure scheduled this year and was able to find another gem by Blitzway at a good price.

Still one of my favourite figures. Unbeatable quality for the price. The only thing that could improve it would be a 1/6 crazy haired, coked up Sean Penn standing alongside it.

Since the thread for the DX 11 from so many years ago is still going strong I thought I would briefly resurrect this one to provide some recognition for this unbelievable figure! Just picked it up yesterday and in a room filled with figures that were released last year this piece stands out amazingly! Since people are beginning this hobby all the time hopefully newer collectors will be encouraged to find this one on the secondary market because it is definitely worth the hunt and the price! Here's to hoping that we start seeing fewer figures in masks and capes (which I enjoy too) and more figures in leather jackets and ties in the coming years!

That would very much depend on the movies that get made. It would seem that there are a good few more mask and cape movies on their way, and if you like the look the movie can be awful and the figure will still sell.

It would be nice if Blitzway were to revisit classic Pacino though, a better Scarface, Serpico, Michael Corleone.....

Great point...there is a huge disparity between the love for the B v S figures versus the lack of apparent love over-all for the movie...a Blitzway Michael Corleone would be something!

Blitzway should do a two pack like they did for Fight Club for Pacino and Deniro from the film Heat.

Heat two pack would be awesome! That is Blitzway petition worthy! They obviously already have no trouble getting the rights to Pacino's likeness...

I wish someone made a bathroom backdrop to display this figure with.

Hi everyone, I took out my Carlito figure out of the display case for the first time in years and noticed that the base got sticky all over, the bottom, sides, etc. Does anyone know what caused this and if there’s a fix? Thanks in advance.

 

[Terminated...]

I just took my figure out of the display case the leather jacket has basically disappeared. It has flaked really bad. Is there a good replacement jacket?

 

[Rogerbee]

Sorry to hear that, the one on mine is still pristine, perhaps the dust offered some protection. I can't think of another like it and nobody else aside from limited edition customs has even done a Carlito. Keep your fingers crossed that someone like Present Toys delivers one. I couldn't rule that out.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm hoping someone will part one out or the inevitable third party release.

I haven’t checked mine still in the box…faux leather probably dust right now

Just saw this on OSK:
TOYS BORN TB003 1/6 Scale The Drug Lord

Is that a recast of the old Blitzway figure? Couldn't find a thread for it, did it come out of nowhere?

All speak of a recast. The outfit and paint will not be as good-looking in the release version.

Well, that's to be expected. I was just wondering if they reused Blitzway's sculpt or if they made one themselves.

I'm pretty sure that's the Blitzway figure in the photos. So, no they didn't make one themselves.
