The nice thing is, if you have the extra hatless sculpt of Clint from Iminime, this would be a great option to add that sculpt to.
You're half right. Hal Holbrook (Lt. Briggs) said it to Harry earlier in the movie as an admonishment to Harry. Harry said it as a Eff You to his blown up body.That was Eastwood’s catchphrase in Magnum Force, the 2nd Dirty Harry movie, just like “Do you feel lucky, punk?!” …and “Go ahead, make my day!” It went like “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
Who said the real line?
So excuse me, why did you ask me in the first place who said that originally?You're half right. Hal Holbrook (Lt. Briggs) said it to Harry earlier in the movie as an admonishment to Harry. Harry said it as a Eff You to his blown up body.
Whoa! Ease up. It was just meant to be a fun trivia question. Sorry I bothered you.So excuse me, why did you ask me in the first place who said that originally?
The Man With No Name trilogy is among my favorites and I think the SSC figure looks great. I'm really tempted, but as much as I like a character or how good the final product is, I always end up selling my 1/6 figures. If this was a 1/4 statue, I'd already have it on order.

Thanks for posting that. I can’t believe my original post would take a life on its own, lol. What I originally said was “a collector should always know his limitations” or something like that, a play of words on our dilemma of yet another new line that we want, but can’t afford nor have anymore room to get!From Magnum Force,
Harry Callahan: Well, I just work for the city, Briggs!
Lieutenant Briggs: So do I, longer than you, and I never had to take my gun out of its holster once. I'm proud of that.
Harry Callahan: Well, you're a good man, lieutenant. A good man always knows his limitations...
I may be experiencing a Mandela Effect here, but I recall Briggs saying it to Harry first in the movie. I'm going to watch it this weekend and see if I'm misremembering. I watched the clips, and you may be right, but I'm going to check or I'll go crazy. It was all just meant to be a trivia question, but it doesn't work if I'm wrong! lolThanks for posting that.

…and I was not just half right! Briggs didn’t ever say that line!
It’s all good, bro, happens to all of usOkay, so my apologies. I had a Mandela Effect experience. I misremembered the dialog. I was sure that Briggs said it to Harry first in the film. Watched it Saturday and I was wrong. Funny thing memory....
Harry had to deal with some real *Holes of superiors didn't he. I remember in The Enforcer he offered his boss his badge and then told him to stick in his ***.From Magnum Force,
Harry Callahan: Well, I just work for the city, Briggs!
Lieutenant Briggs: So do I, longer than you, and I never had to take my gun out of its holster once. I'm proud of that.
Harry Callahan: Well, you're a good man, lieutenant. A good man always knows his limitations...
PeopleHaving him on your shelf without Tuco or Angel is like having…
Han without Luke and Leia
EG IM without Eg Cap and EG Thor
Moe without Larry and Curly
Ripley without Hicks and Newt
T-800 without Sarah and John
Fett without Vespa girl and Vespa monocle guy.
It’s a crime it’s a fail it’s a damn shame!
This picture puts into perspective just how good the Sideshow figure actually is! Looks way better than this one.People need to realize this figure is expensive because it's double-dipping on license fees, the movie rights, plus Eastwood's likeness. There's probably at least 30% markup for both, compared to 15-20% for other movie licenses.
Sideshow's recent stuff has been very good. Gambit turned out great. Lando looks good, the sculpt is off, but there's no problems with the paint. Their recent figures have shown minimal drop-off from proto to production. Too many folks here are basing them off their work from years ago. They just don't have any human faces in their recent work to compare to.
Is it just the headsculpt you prefer?
The tailoring looks much better on the SSC, their vest closes, the collar is properly scaled, the holster hangs with weight. Plus the body proportions are more accurate, as an added bonus, SSC has been going the extra mile lately and including nicely-painted, character-specific hands , not the shiny, generic KO hands that come with the iminime. Chalk that up to iminime using a generic body, while the SSC version captures Clint's lanky physique.
I'm not sure if the iminime is tailored incorrectly, or you put the belt on wrong, but the iminime gunbelt is backwards.
Overall, the SSC figure looks better.
