DAM Toys 1/6 UNIVERSAL SOLDIER Figures

Dolph He-man

Dolph looks odd cause of his small body. Sculpt looks good.

That shot makes me think of a live action version of this:

Yes one of my favorite JCVD movies! "IT'S EMPTY!"

More Pics....

Both likenesses look very good IMO. Dolph looks like it could be redone as both Drago and He-Man. I'd want to body swap him to either HT Thor or Superman body but it's a necked sculpt so not sure how that could work. Maybe neckless heads will end up in the secondary.

If Blitzway is involved, I wonder if they are Arnie Kim sculpts?

 

[Animal Mother.]

I am really really liking the headsculpts. Do I dare to make a Street Fighter and or Lionheart custom?...

I'm thinking dolphisher custom, since he was only a few years older when he made US.

Same here.
First thing I thought of when I saw the figure.

This may have been under development for longer than we think, and the license secured way before EB made their civvie JCVD. Could be why the EB campy can'tsay anything whenever they get bombarded with questions regarding Universal Soldier.

These have long been at the top of my wish list. DAM is my favorite company, and none better to take this on. Will buy multiples to build the team.

Anyone estimate a retail price on these guys? Maybe $140? Higher?Lower?

I am really curious why Enterbay would go for "modern" JCVD over, well, any other character he filmed in the '80s/'90s. No Retreat, No Surrender, Cyborg, Hard Target, Timecop, freakin' Double Team, anything. I can't imagine licensing for any of those films would be very difficult to acquire.

 

[Gage]

I'm thinking maybe older one to go along his recent movie expendables 2? Since HT did make expendables 2 Sly.

DAM's military figures generally go for the $130-150 range, so I'd say $150-200, since these seem to be official releases.

Not bad. Hopefully it's $150ish.

Not bad. Hopefully it's $150ish.

Thankfully military figure sets haven't gone the way of Hot Toys pricing, even though you usually get a very well done sculpt, which many times resembles an actor, and tons more gear that is usually much more intricate.

Yeah. Even if DAM got first dibs on Universal Soldier surely they could get other licenses that are up for grabs. Maybe EB was either trying to dodge paying for movie rights, or had difficulty securing one (which I think is unlikely, coz again, there's lots).
