Yul Brynner?

[SpaceCrawler]

Anyone ever made a good Yul Brynner head? Would love to make a Westworld figure (which can basically double as a Magnificent Seven).
I know there's a head sculpt on eBay labled as Yul Brynner that's a recast of a Dragon Japanese fugure's head, but it doesn't look much like Yul Brynner to me.

God, I was wondering about this too. Westworld is a classic. I'd love to see someone do a bash of that one. Thanks for posting this one, man!

Would be cool if his face detached too, for the movie poster look...

I guess in the film his entire face came off, but this look is cooler.

That one is the only one I know about.

Yeah, that's the one I mentioned above. I am pretty certain it's just a recast of the figure from Dragon named Nagashima, seen below... not very close to Yul Brynner in my eyes.

The sculpt does look better in hand, but it would be nice to see an improved one.

Would love to have a Westword figure.

It would be cool if someone took this up and did a good Yul Brynner that could be used for Westworld or Magnificent 7.

Any sculptors want to try this? How many people would be interested?

Westworld, one of my all time favorite movies. I'd love to have a 1/6 scale Gunslinger.

If we could find a sculptor, I'd definitely be in.

 

[Mr.E]

Nice to see this one gettin some attention, page 2 baby.

There was a custom, with removeable face, by a guy named Chango[?] I can't find the link right now but he did several heads. Danny Trejo, Tom Selleck, Pacino, Darkman, Robert Culp, Bronson, Brynner...

If you want this done, you'll need some really facial clear references. There should be views from at least 6 angles. Front, back, 3/4 rt front, 3/4 lt front, 3/4 rt back, 3/4 rt back. Up an down would be nice too.

You will also need to decide which body the head will be made for.

Also you need to calculate how much of a production budget you are willing to come up with. Not only do you need to pay the sculptor, you need to actually produce the pieces.

I'll be damned.

 

[Masao]

I can do this, but you need to get all the things done that I mentioned. -Reference shots etc.

You can post here when you are ready to move forward.

A cool option, removable lower half of face/alternate head for movie poster look:

He basically looks quite similar in both roles (Magnificent 7 and Westworld), but is 13 years or so older in Westworld obviously. But I think as far as age goes a cross between Magnificent 7 and Westworld would be best.

I would imagine a head that would fit a Dragon body would work (as it would fit a True Type body too).

Budget? No idea....
