Sideshow: The Clint Eastwood Legacy Collection (1:6 figures)

[Lordscum]

Sideshow Josey Wales figure, I hope they include the Colt 1860 revolver, it is an essential piece to do the figure justice. We all know the devil is in the detail.

That would be cool! I wish the Preacher included an Ax Handle and a few sticks of dynamite.

Therefore many shall be looking for a good quality Colt 1860 Army revolver scaled to match the other 3 Sideshow Colts. I have contacted Sideshow about the revolver and hope to receive a response. If Mr Eastwood was asked about the inclusion of the revolver I believe his response would be...I reckon so.

I agree, if figures do not include the essential accessory pieces then why bother at all?

Waiting for Josey....sometime in 2024.

Response from Sideshow concerning the missing Colt 1860 revolver, states 3 revolvers included with figure one of which is the 1860. I have said that there should be two 1847 pieces, one 1849 Pocket Colt for shoulder and one 1860 tucked in front of belt on full view. I find it hard to believe that they missed this.

Shall Sideshow make my day and yours too?

He carried a pair of Colt Walker 1847s in the twin holsters; a Colt 1860 Army tucked into his gun belt and the Colt 1849 Pocket in the shoulder holster.

Sideshow have included the Walkers and the Pocket pistol, but no 1860.

 

[Remembermyname]

I reckon so.

 

[Remembermyname]

Sorry, my error, my earlier revolver saga was right, even those that know become confused, well in my case.

Battlegear Toys do the 1860 and a couple of other manufacturers, but although OK I would be looking for something better and to be sure to get the scale to match the Sideshow Colts. I have a Kaustic Plastik diecast Colt 1851 that may have to suffice to start with. Full Metal Custom may create the 1860 in metal...works of art, but you would probably want to replace the 3 Sideshow Colts too. I am now starting to get a headache and I do not suffer from such ailment. I may dream of Colts the different models and dates this night, heck no I only dream while awake, this may be the real issue. I suppose it is best to try to keep all things simple, create your own figures from parts and you can do whatever you wish, fun too.

I had a look at my Redman Josey Wales to remind myself what they did. They gave him a pair of Colt 1851 Navys, and a Remington 1858 instead of the 1860 belt pistol.

I can't tell what's in the shoulder holster as the pistol's tucked in tight, though when the Sideshow arrives at the very least I'll be taking the jacket off this figure

Interesting, yes I thought of Redman Toys Cowboy too.

When I look at my 1.6 revolvers I reckon the best examples are by VTS Wilderness Rider great detail and scale. A Set of Colts for Mr Wales to this standard would suffice.

They repurposed the guns they already had moulds for from their The Good, the Bad and the Ugly line.

I don't think I have an 1860 at all, which makes it as rare as the Walkers and Pocket pistol.

 

[Remembermyname]

Yes indeed. It would be good to find an artist who would create these side arms.

The VTS .45s are the best made and finished mass produced examples I've ever seen. They were far too good to holster.

 

[Remembermyname]

I reckon so.

Now if the manufacturer could be ascertained... The quest continues.

 

[Remembermyname]

E mail to Dam Toys, nothing ventured nothing gained.
