i would buy this for the outfit and stick xeno head scuplt on it

Honestly, you could probably pick up pieces for the outfit off eBay for cheaper, the only things you might struggle with are the gun holsters and the weapons themselves, but if you got this just for clothes, I'd recommend eBay and places picking up parts, don't know what these figures go for, but I'm guessing $50 or more and I bet the parts can be found for less than that, worth a look certainly if you're serious about it.
 
this figure is horrible! the head is butt ugly, the hat doesnt fit, the weapons look like they're casted in one-piece and he has that monkey arm effect. easy pass
 
I think he has a case of Erkel pants...
"Well isn't this a fine song and dance!"
"What are you gettin' so hot about?"
"Keep your shirt on!"
"Where do you get off makin' remarks like that?"
"Supposin' that I say you're a lunkhead!"
"Well I ain't much for supposin'."
"Well supposin' you were!"
"Well maybe I'm through supposin' and fix to start figurin'!"
"Ahh, horseradish!"
"Well aren't you a pocket full of firecrackers!"
"Oh yeah? You got something to say about it?"
"I'll say plenty!"

Yup, that would be my plan too! Hope they do Purvis as well...then I'll just have to track down the BEST Bale head out there that looks close enough to his look as Purvis...Any suggestions? :naughty

It's not the best Bale likeness, but the Hot Toys Wayne head that came with the Begins costume figure is probably the closest thing to Pervis' slicked back hair style. Connor's hair's too short and he has the facial hair, which rules out the Sosa head too without a major overhaul, maybe xenoviper will do one, and the hair on Andy's Wayne isn't quite like Pervis'.
 
The overcoat and trousers are fantastic. The shoes, shirt and tie look pretty good as well. The base body looks very trim in the pictures and I like that for the subject. Headsculpt doesn't look like Dillinger or Depp to me but I do like it. It's got character and would be useful for kitbashing even if you wanted a Depp likeness to use with this costume. The Tommy gun isn't very impressive and the shoulder holster and vest are misses in my opinion. But the set as a whole is very nice. Depending on price it would almost be worth buying for the overcoat. It's a beaut.
 
sorry to bring back this thread, but does anyone know if the hat is moulded or material?

On some ebay listing it looks like a felt hat, and on others it looks plastic.

would anyone know where to get hold of a moulded plastic hat of similar design. I'm putting together a Last Man Standing custom, and need a hat for him,
 
I recently picked this guy up pretty cheap on auction from Storerooms for parts and, I have to say, the hat is so much better than the production shots.

Here it is on the old Yamato gangster figure, which it seems to fit a little better.

I bought the set to use for this bash:)
