Hot Toys Marlon Brando

[galactiboy]

This is Brando from A Streetcar Named Desire, right?

Nope, The Wild One...

And nice touch, notice the correctly scaled zipper on the front of his jacket

Nah, It's from The Wild Ones. But A Streetcar Brando would not be too hard to bash starting from this. Just need a white tank top, and some jeans. Or get him a suit, and he's On The Waterfront.

It really does make a big difference compared to Medi Indy's jacket.

Ahhhhhh yes right, kick ass! I love this prototype! Soooooo cool!

Wow!!! That looks freakin' sweet!!! Hots Toys did an amazing job with this one. I doubt I will pick it up though. Never even seen the movie.

Wasn't there an inscription painted on the back of his jacket... the Gang Tag?

I remember the rival Gang (Lee Marvin's) was called the "Beatles/Beadles". Pop lore was that it inspired John Lennon to use it as the name of the band.

And of course the incident at Hollister inspired "The Wild One" although the actual article about what happened was embellished with fabrications.

One other Note: These so called gangs were mostly Air Force Vets who returned from the War and starting riding Bikes in groups. They wore their flight jackets.

I think The Motorcycle jackets in the Film were also brown, not black.

You can sort of see the back of the jacket in this pic. A skull and two pistons?



King, you need to see this movie. Brando was a total badass.

The HT leather jacket is definitely not Film Accurate, it should be brown with Gang Logo. Maybe this is just a proto...

Looks really good! I hope HT does a David Niven, Gregory Peck, Peter O'Toole (in his Lawrence of Arabia outfit) and Anthony Quinn.

 

[hydrobud]

Looks pretty good, I was hoping for a Jack Nicholson, maybe from Chinatown or the Shining.

its got to be The Shining anything else will be a major disappointment

i think a Howard Hughes would pretty cool. he'll be very comfortable in his box stuffed in the closet

 

[Entropy]

Looks awesome. You could bash a KotCS Mutt figure from this pretty easily.

I'd love to see a Chinatown Jack or Casablanca Bogey.

 

[King Darkness]

King, you need to see this movie. Brando was a total badass.

I know, I really do need to see it.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Cool figure, but not my kind of thing. I was hoping for the Godfather.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Screw HT, just hold out for Cinemaquette....as this trend continues, they will be around the same price

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Looks really good! I hope HT does a David Niven, Gregory Peck, Peter O'Toole (in his Lawrence of Arabia outfit) and Anthony Quinn.

A Peter O'Toole/T.E. Lawrence figure would be amazing.

 

[Darklord Dave]

I think the only other M Icon we'll see is Marilyn. But this looks great - definitely a must buy.

You really think this line will only see 3 figs?

 

[Bardoon]

Dang...I was hoping they'd do Marlon Brando as 'The Godfather'.....

 

[The ill Jedi]

now all we need it the sailor, indian & mechanic

I was thinking the same thing!!
