Nice collection of Jimmy Dean. Do you have Brando as well?

Ok, so sometimes, tough guys get caught. They must pay their debt back to society (at least that's the way it was in the old days)...

With that thought in mind, I started to build myself a cell block...the details aren't finished; still needs a door lock, some 1950's pinup girl posters, and anything else you might suggest...

Here are some first time photos...

Elvis Presley, as Vince Everett in Jailhouse Rock!

There are some other guys sitting on death row...stay tuned for more jail birds...

I love the King!!! Very nice custom Geronimo and he definitely belongs in this thread. I was gonna add him believe it, or not, but you beat me to it. Nice job. I still have an Elvis to add, but he has been moved down the list for now.

Looks great!

Thanks for the positive comments everyone!

Looks like the "Man in Black", Johnny Cash has ended up in the same cell block! That's half of the million dollar quartet....the other two are probably still out drinkin' and carousin'....

Wow this thread has some big hitters in it for sure
Loving the dios and figures keep it up guys
Clints an all time fav of mine and working on a blondie from gbu and will post some pics soon.

Same goes for my dirty harry, would like a nice base dio for him, like the one that came with the brothers production figure, but will have to make my own.
He's about 90 percent done so getting there.

Love the man in black and elvis in the jailhouse very nice.
Never had much love for jimmy dean but I am warming to him, will have to buy some of his films and check him out.
Connery was the best bond so love those too
Old bogey, can't beat the old farts

Personally one of my favorite actors. He only did three films, all amazing.​

Unfortunately, no. I really want The Wild One version.​

I've seen the wild one and it was a good film for its time.
At least I can save some money and buy all 3 dean films on a boxset

Yeah, The Wild One is a classic. But I do just prefer James Dean but Marlon Brando is a close second for male actors of that time.​

Rebel without a Cause, East of Eden, & Giant. 3 films is all it took for him to be legendary. What a waste to live fast & die young.
That is a great looking Brando figure too. I wish HT would revisit the classic icon line. There are so many great figures to be a made....

Yeah, one of the greatest! Yeah, I really want the figure and will probably get it when I next see it, I would really like a Rear Window James Stewart, but do not know of any sculpts. There are so many people to do, if any company did it, it would be awesome.​

I will keep you updated on it, I would be aiming at a mid 1950's look circa Rear Window. ​

Hey Sparks, I would love to see him when you are finished...please post pics when done...!

Here are a few final pics of Johnny and Elvis...I'm through with this dio - at times, I didn't know how it would quite turn out...
