I think your Jack is a great looking custom and I'm glad you posted him. When I think of the classic tough guy, what comes to mind are the all time greats for me, but I love the idea of adding some more recent tough guys. I immediately think of these guys for more recent stuff. I put together this Expendables team for my Hot Toys Barney Ross. Stallone said he always wanted to do a Magnificent Seven/ Dirty Dozen type of movie with other action stars, so he got these guys together. All the figures are my custom bashes except for Sly.

Some pics with the painted tattoos that I did down below.

Now these are tough guys, DA! Thanks for posting them...I like your Stallone in particular, and all the work you did with the tattoos...

I didn't do anything to the Sly figure, except put his gear on. A pretty amazing figure right out of the box from Hot toys. The other guys took a lot of work though and I am glad they are done.

Hey Joel, I LOL when I saw your post...no, I'm serious...after I saw Ironman's post, I thought, "you know, he's right"! Captain Jack can't really be considered "tough". Maybe he can be considered as someone who is tough on his body (like the role model for his portrayal, Keith Richards), but not tough. Look at the way he walks...the way he talks...doesn't belong on this thread ...no more Captain Jack's, Geronimo, please !

Did you model the others after any one in particular? They look very well coordinated, and the painting is top notch...

I understand, I could honestly not tell if it was serious or not serious!

Wow, what a fun thread. Not sure how I missed this before.
What wonderful gallery of tough guys, I hope you don't mind if I had a few of wine.

I'll start with Burt Lancaster in Castle Keep.

Followed by some Clint...

How about John Mills in Ice Cold In Alex?

Or some classic McQueen.

Awesome additions Itchybitz. You might as well add your Duke too cause this thread was made for him.

Re: Classic "Tough Guys" thread - Bogart, Cagney,Weissmuller (Tarzan), Cooper & other

Welcome to the thread, Ichy!! You definitely belong here! Wow, great figures....I LOVE all of them, but most especially your McQueen!

And thanks for the compliment on my Duke, DA! I want to thank you for the tips you gave me ! I really feel that your Duke figures have the extreme details (exact body build, hat, turned up shirt sleeves, etc) that nail him...much better than mine, but I will post more pictures in the coming days. After all, the fun part of this thread is to share, and see how each of us interpret the figures that we have...

WOW, I am really loving your version of JW right there Geronimo. I think you did a fantastic job on him & I love the new pics. He is the definition of tough & my all time favorite actor in Hollywood. I think that will be a perfect addition to your collection to represent the Duke. I would love to see your version of Sgt. Stryker one of these days too.

Thanks guys, and you both have exceptional Duke figures.

Okay, so here's mine done up from four movies...
