The DIE HARD Thread

[teabelly83]

i was considering buying this one, as previously posted;

https://www.store-rooms.com/Product.aspx?sku=562



mainly for the bits it comes with and the body/clothing, then jst get a new resculpted head ?? is it worth it, or should i go for gathering thee bits seperatly and put it all together?? either way i want a different dh 4 bruce head, i dnt like the sculpt.


also, kuato, do u still sell the old die hard bruce head?? painted and ready to mount on a fig if possible?

that figure on ebay is the subway dead end figure i think. subway just did that the shining also. they do make great figures it seems.

yeah the clotihng and accessories are cool, its jut the head, i dnt think the sculpt reflects bruce in dh4 good enough!

is it worth me buying this figure and then getting a better sculpted head or should i buy everything frm scratch?? the body,clothing, head, etc etc??

The headsculpt looks more like David Dayan Fisher from National Treasure and 24 (Season 5, I think) ...

[teabelly83]

yeah ur bruce head looks alot better than that dead end figure.

so whats the verdict?? get that dead end figure and change the head, or put together a bruce die hard 4 fig frm scratch??

if from scratch, ill need help finding afew bits, esp the police wallet with id and badge.

Do what I did. Buy the figure and just find a better head. Save you the stress of trying to find everything. In the end it may come out cheaper. Buying clothing from different websites or ebay sellers can become an expensive pain in the ***. Shipping can cost more than the item your purchasing.

yeah thats what i was thinking. get the figure then get a better sculpted head. like isay, ive looked into making 1 uop frm scratch but getting afew bits has been abit hard, like the police badge in a leather wallet, and a brown leather jckt ive found is pretty pricey 2!

have u got pics of your bruce fig??

thanks.

Here is my DH4 Bruce...

I got the Dead End figure, a Very Hot Bruce head and put the clothes and head on a True Type. I also got new boots for him as the boots from the Dead End figure weren't compatible with the TT. Sorry for the crappy pic!

I'm actually still waiting for both parts. I ordered the bruce figure about 2 weeks ago and a fellow forum member just shipped me a much better head sculpt. I'll post pics as soon as I get them.

Yeah the body on the Dead End figure was crap and the head wasn't switchble with the body anyway. Yeah price wise to assemble the bash comes out more than the Subway figure but I got the Dead End figure before the Subway fig. was released. The head is mass produced, you can still get it here:

ive actually seen those bruce heads floating around on ebay lately, so in the case that u ended up just about putting 2gether a whole new fig, is it worth me paying $78.99 for the dead end series 2 fig ?? https://www.store-rooms.com/Product.aspx?sku=562


i mean, which body did u get to use then?? i take it u just used the clothing?? is it worth getting just for the clothes and accessories?

A place to speak your mind about one of the best action pictures EVER!

DIE HARD

And the sequels if we must...

I know there's some great customs out there so hopefully they will get posted here.

In the mean time, here's my own:

Here's a picture of the little radio I did for him, with a still compare:

And incidently, can anyone recommend what they believe is the best Willis Die Hard sculpt out there? (not counting the Hartigan)

Man, Gruber is looking great.
And my compliments to the tailor.
That suit looks perfect!

I used the HT's True Type body, I would say it's worth it for the clothes and such, find a TT and get the head and boots and for $120 you have a pretty good John from DH4.
