Hot Toys - MMS 118 Inglourious Basterds - Aldo Raine Specs & Pics

[The Entity]

Pre-ordered this Basterd yesterday!!

I don't care about his expression it holds a lot if character and looks an awful lot like Pitt.

You guys don't cut Hot Toys enough slack. Remember who we are dealing with here. Brad Pitt who has refused and refused to lend his likeness out for any reason. It's monumental that Hot Toys even has his likeness at all. It's the first time it ever happened with any company. Don't bag on them, I'm sure Pitt is the reason it looks the way it does not Hot Toys. I would not be surprised if they attempted 10 different head sculpts. It's undoubtably the reason for the delay too.

I'm elated not only did I think it would come out sans Brad Pitt likeness it did and it looks great!

 

[Raymond F.]

I hope they do Landa. It would be a nice counterpart to Aldo and very cool piece. Personally I'd love a Shoshana too in the veil red dress and with a film projector and a gun. She was the best part of the movie I think it would be great.

They're not going to do " bear Jew". Or at least if they did, in my humble opinion they'd get the three guys asking for it on this board to buy it and that's about it.

Hans Landa would be nice imo Im more than happy with the headsculpt on the hot toys aldo however I have picked up Alex Lopez's Aldo headsculpt cos it looks a little more like Pitt from the movie rather than just pitt himself. I intend to use the hot toys pitt head to try and bash a tyler durden

 

[Raymond F.]

Tyler durdan really?? You should Get Subhocs head instead this head is all wrong for Durdan. It's much too old, expression is all wrong, he has a moustache and a neck scar and a totally wrong haircut.

Rainman will be doing a V2 Tyler as well you could get that head.

Did you get Alex's head? How is it?

i'm seriously considering to get this now. but i need one thing clarified, maybe you guys could help.

the jacket in the figure is blue, it's from one scene in the film:

but in all the promo shots and posters he's wearing the same jacket, but it's brown in color:

i dont recall the brown jacket ever appeared on the film. did it? brown just looks better than blue to me. and do you think this will be just a one-shot or we'll see more of aldo from ht?

 

[dominishin]

It's just filtering effects. He never wears a brown jacket.

 

[cr`]

yeah, looks like it's just a photoshop. cant help but liking the brown version better though.

and i'm curious why in all the ht promo pics we never get to see aldo without the jacket on. obviously he has 2-3 layers of clothings on, and with ht they usually would show us all the details in the promo pics, removing each layer if the figure wears more than one. would be nice to see how aldo looks like sans the jacket.

 

[EVILFACE]

I'd want what was in the movie, and the movie coat is blue.

 

[Jay1138]

Aldo's jacket is blue.

Wonder if Hot Toys will show us the other Basterds figure they are working on, which the Academy Awards this next week and all.

 

[themahler]

Still on the fence with this figure. I'll probably end up pre-ordering it down the line as Aldo is too cool of a character not to have. Going to let this simmer a bit longer...

You got that right!! Aldo's the man!!


Does anybody know a more specific time of release for this figure than just Q2?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

This can't come out soon enough.

 

[wookster]

It's like Han's Hoth coat all over again... what is it about blue and brown that makes so much confusion?

 

[EVILFACE]

Not really. Han's coat is seen as brown or blue in the moive, Aldo's is blue all the time.

han's coat is news to me, but once i got into a debate over jack sparrow's jacket. i thought it's clearly brown, a dozen others saw blue.

but yeah, no argument in this case. aldo's is blue in the film.

never mind aldo as a character(i thought a couple other characters outshine him in the film)... it's brad pitt. in a tarantino's film.

untill vince n jules or even the bride get made by hottoys, aldo will fill the slot just fine.

AGREED!!!

That's a BINGO!

Waltz = oscars...
