Yes but AMAZING customs. His Pacino "Carlito's Way" is my favorite, he's captured Pacino's likeness like no other.

Awesome news!

I have always loved Kojun's work but was never able to afford it so this is perfect!!

You'd have to think now, Kojun used to make really pricey and high end customs, was it really worth the switch? Going from owner operator to becoming a sculptor for HT's? Just goes to show you just how big HT's must be, to be able to afford a guy like Kojun.

Very interesting development... now people outside of Korea can finally have Kojun sculpts and not worry about being ripped off

I was thinking the same thing!

His work is amazing though, can't wait to see what else they have him work on!

Well I am pretty sure it is worth it for Kojun, HT is not going to skimp on his paycheck and he would not have gone to them for scraps!

I'd love if somehow HT incorporated Pacino into the Icons series and released a Carlito's way figure. Some of Kojun's stuff is hit or miss, but his Carlito is perfect.

 

[Devil_666]

Well my theory got shot to poo.. lmao.

 

[Valfar]

His Jack Sparrow sucked..overpriced for something that looks nothing like Depp IMO!.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

HT is amassing an awesome talent pool.

I hereby declare that all 1:6 figures should be produced by HT with the exception of G.I. Joe which, so far, SS is doing a bang up job.

 

[MaulFan]

If they ever added Trev to the mix, imagine the stuff that trio would turn out.

Yes it was absolutely amazing imo, the nicest figure i've ever seen. I may be a bit biased being that I am a Pacino nut I think he also did a Pacino Heat too if i'm not mistaken.

I would really like to see Pacino from films like:

Scarface
Donnie Brasco
Carlito's Way
Heat
Godfather
etc

 

[intothevoid]

Well, the limited stuff I have seen of his looks outstanding, so this can only be good news!

He did do HEAT Pacino, while it was a good Pacino, it wasn't quite the right look for HEAT, the shapes and aging on his face just didn't quite match up to that particular film.

Of the Pacino film's I've seen, I'd love a Scarface, Carlito's Way and HEAT figure. I'm going to rent Donnie Brasco this weekend, keep meaning to and I've been watching Pacino movies lately and wanna see that. I love the character but not sure I'd care about a figure from Any Given Sunday.

They would truly be a god then.

 

[SpawnFan]

They should get Ha-Rue into their team now, then they are ready for world domination haha!

Ha-Rue already is, did the Joker costuming prototype, no benefit there though, his proto looked fantastic, the production piece is significantly different, not sure why, but makes no difference, bottom line is how the end product looks.

Oh bro you have to go rent Donnie Brasco, it is an amazing mafia film and Pacino is perfect in it. There is actually some history with that film, it was originally planned to be made around the exact same time as Goodfellas but was delayed until the mid 90's to avoid competing with that film. Depp was also great in that film, I think Xenoviper is making a custom Depp from that film so thats a start.

I've said it before and i'll say it again I have everything I need from the big budget blockbuster type films now I need more from my actual favorite films.

Shawshank Redemption
Scarface
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Heat
Carlito's Way
Godfather
Goodfellas

Sorry its early and I am a great dreamer.

Well if they can do Ha-Rue's quality in their production pieces then it would be truly perfect!
