Nice pick up.

I can't believe you have not customized that
bike to make it look like an older Triumph.

J/K, but now it's really going to bug you isn't it...:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl

Or if you really want to go James Dean full on crazy accurate, which
I know you might. Try to make his original CZ motorcycle out of some existing 1/6 bike, I think it's hard, but possible.

Here's a picture of it, just in case you feel the need...:wink1:

JD looks brilliant Mag, you are a master at posing your stuff :bow

Thanks. I am actually pretty unhappy with that pose. I usually give myself a day to tweak a pose before I post pics, but I couldn't resist sharing him ASAP! :lol The left hand/forearm placement really bugs me in those pics!!!


that's a great james dean display


Nice, i like that james dean !

Very cool acquisition ;)

Thanks guys. :duff



The figures are AMAZING Mags, I hate the pictures and I hate poses but I love your style.









































































:lol j/k it all looks great Karl, great setup!!!!

Thanks Phillip! :hi5:

Yep. Very pleased. I really like him on a Narrow Shoulder. Can't imagine him on anything else actually. :)


Now I'm just thinking of replacing he shirt...

Well I think it looks great! There's a "weight" to the pose, and that's the key :exactly:

Hmm, I'm pretty happy with this one actually.

Here's a pick of his first and last bikes:

The one you posted looks like his first bike, but the Triumph Bonneville is what he had on the set of Rebel Without a Cause (and this is a Rebel Without a Cause figure after all).

The color is wrong and the seat isn't exactly the same, but close enough for me. :)

Here's another one of his Bonnevilles:

Here's a better look at a '54:

Rebel Without a Cause came out in 1955.



Here's mine again:

Pretty damn close IMO.

Nice Dean set up. :clap
I have the same figure, and have been considering changing out the clothes to build more of a James Dean in New York look:





Did you switch him to a narrow shoulder? I havent undressed mine and wasn't sure what he came on originally...
