Movie Review

Though its purely propagandastic aspects are never far from surface, Destination Tokyo must rank as one of the most intelligent and objective of wartime thrillers. Cary Grant is a tower of strength as Captain Cassidy, skipper of an American submarine bound for Tokyo harbor. Its mission: to allow a Navy meterologist to survey Japanese weather conditions, in preparation for a major Allied assault. Many of the individual incidents in Delmar Daves' script are based on fact, notably an episode in which a pharmacist's mate is called upon to perform an emergency appendectomy. Admittedly, some of the secondary characters are WWII stereotypes, but they're never played that way. Particularly good isDane Clark, in his first important screen role; also registering well as a radio man is John Forsythe, in his first screen role ever. From the sub's embarkation in San Francisco to its climactic retreat from Japan, there's not a single solitary dull moment in the 135 minutes of Destination Tokyo. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Really nice details once again mate, what Head Sculpt is that?

Thanks Joel! It's a Dragon Italian paratrooper head sculpt I got a while back. His name escapes me right now...it's not Paolo but the other guy...will look him up and post his name...

It's Nino Arena...I found him to have a close likeness to Cary...

Hey Joel...no slight to your sculpt (which I still think is great) but I happened to notice a Hot Toys Brando on sale on Ebay for an incredibly low price and bought it. I didn't think I was going to win the bid, but I did! Here are a couple of pics, with a few more to come in the next week or so. I was surprised with what a high quality figure this is...body is real great, along with a real good likeness and great clothes.

If you (or anyone) is on the fence with this figure, you might consider getting off. As mentioned, I will be posting more pictures in the coming weeks, with little or no mods and you can judge for yourself. So far, early on, I think he has exceeded what I expected by quite a bit...!

For sure! I need to complete James Dean 100% first before Brando comes into play! But it looks a amazing figure!

That Brando closeup shot is fantastic Geronimo. You can really see the detail in the hs, which is spot on. :)

Very nice and looking forward to it. :)

That is awesome!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your comments...I know you both have a great eye for detail and coming from you, it means a lot!

As I mentioned, I'm trying to create a trophy that is close to the one that he put on his bike. Not easy to do...I'm close, but not quite there. I'll be interested in your comments - I should be finished some time this week and post a couple of final pics.

That is going to be awesome, attached to the front of the bike! Show some images of it so far!
