Thanks Wookster, looks great! I'll definitly be getting this one.

The engineer boots look incorrect, but otherwise looks good, it just needs a repaint to bring out BRANDO more......

Is it just me or does anyone else see a bit of Paul Newman in the sculpt?

You know, now that you mention it...

I noticed that the other day... looks like Brando for sure, but there is a hint of Newman in there as well. Can't wait to get this one

Can't wait to get this one

Same here, but now it's making me want HT Butch and Sundance figures too.

When I saw the picture there was no doubt in my mind who it was supposed to be.

 

[pixletwin]

Any word on how much he will cost and when he will be up for sale?

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Price will likely be the same as Dean, $115. I'm guessing we'll get a preview in this week's newsletter and then pre-order the following week.

Yeah, I do.

 

[galactiboy]

Sounds like the MSRP was around $100... so I'd guess if Sideshow distributes (which I'm sure they will) we'd be looking at the same price as the Dean figure, $115.

Brando, Newman, and I even see Dean in the eyes... That's a little "to much" likeness for my taste, or should i say to many? Still a nice figure and a good line. Hope we see many more Icons in this line. I'm really looking forward to the first female.

Now that you mention it …I think they all look alike.

…and you can clearly see where this guy got his inspiration from.

 

[pixletwin]

Elvis is a total Brando.. essential to his image.

I think they all did possess certain attributes in real life so its no surprise that HT and thir kick ass production team would reflect that as well.

 

[galactiboy]

So I guess from the description there will be no trophy?

So I guess from the description there will be no trophy?

Like the jacket logo, that might be too movie specific.

I always thought Sideshow's Highlander figure looked like a young Brando. At one point, when this figure first came out, I almost considered doing a resculpt and turning it into Brando "On the Waterfront"
