1/6 SSC Snake Plissken Figure

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah, I've been going there for years. It tends to get buggy and pages don't load, but it's filled with so much content I've never seen before.

 

[S. Griffin]

Nice, never seen those pics the cover was based on. Must be early mockups as he is wearing olive drab pants. His head looks gigantic on those.

But yea, the rifle looks like a M16 with the barrel shroud removed and a revolver pistol grip. The scope looks to be a fake mockup.

Definitely early screen test or promotional pics. Along with the rifle, which never appears in the movie, and the olive drab pants, Snake has a tattoo on his arm, a different eye patch, some kind of billy club on his belt, and he appears to have different boots than those that he wears in the movie, as well.

That rifle even made it to BRD covers!

Are there any pics of the "sniper" gun used for promo shots and posters?
It looks like a modded M16 that was used by USPF in the film.

The best image of it that I've found:

 

[RIDDICK]

That's the best one for sure, thank you very much!
The magazine looks bigger than the M16 ones... Plus there's some stuff on the side...
I'll ask around about what it could be.

Magazine looks like it probably holds .338. Would make sense as .338 Lapua Magnum is a common sniper round. Also, it was introduced in the 80s, so in 81 it would have looked suitably futuristic.

It was dirty cheap so I just had to...
Sorry for crappy photos.

 

[EVILFACE]

I dont see the fancy rifle, brah.

 

[RIDDICK]

You can't see new pants and boots either.

 

[Snake Plissken]

What'd you spend on the spare?

Congrats on the extra figure. Do you plan to weather the jacket? I remember having so much fun doing the weathering.

Yeah, I wanted a spare jacket for weathering and spare boots to try make them articulated.
Second headsculpt will be a placeholder for EFLA figure that I want to make.
The rest I'll use for something else (MAC10 for MG1 Solid Snake, for example).

I like this figure and like the look with the jacket, I started the rework by weathering the jacket..it help a LOT in the final look of the figure in my personal opinion. I will repaint the HS and make a new belt with accessories. The weathering was done all by paint, I am not a big fan of using other methods that put "stress and wear" to the pleather material...we all know how these could react!

 

[Reinhardt]

Weathering looks fantastic!! Don’t be afraid to scratch it up though! His jacket was in serious rough shape right in the beginning of the film even.

Has anyone tired using any of the newer seamless bodies for a swap? like the DAM Toys Vietnam Tet offensive body or anything?

 

[Marine Boy]

I used a HT Billy Sole body on mine and it works really well. As this body is quite rare and expensive, i also tried a Coomodel muscular semi-body (B3006). That also looks good, although the articulation is not quite as good as the HT body. The skintone on both bodies are a perfect match, and the head and wrist pegs fit no problem. The boots are a different matter though, as the SS ball pegs are bigger than the typical HT ones.

Yeah I read up on your mods on OSW, that billy body does look good.. but neither of those bodies are readily available so I may have to try that damntoys one or a phicen.. I’m definitely doing your boot mod so he can at least stand straight ha!

From certain angles there is more Kurt than others. That's not to negate the work that went into it. It is better than stock.
