Dedicated 12" Mad Max/Road Warrior request thread

[Darth Scourge]

I know it's been mentioned in other threads, but I felt it deserved a discussion of its own. I believe Max's small but dedicated following would make this viable for Sideshow to at least do the main character in his various incarnations. Since WB/N2 Toys discontinued the line before bringing its 12" figures to market (maybe not such a bad thing - see attached), maybe Sideshow could pick up the licence...?

EVILFACE, I presume we have your vote?

I don't know. I was looking forward to the N2 offerings. I know they would pale in comparison to a Sideshow version, but for $20 a pop, they certainly had mega bash potential. And the female was destined to have her head sanded down and get painted blue for a Farscape bash.
Please Sideshow, some "inclusive" Mad Max figures???

Guys I am sooo with you on this. I've wanted a definitive Max from Road Warrior since I started collecting, but on one has done him justice.. not to mention that he's even hard to custom make. I would love to see him on the shelf, along with The Humongus and that psycho with the mohawk and football pads. I'd buy 2 of each if they made them....

Road Warrior is one of my favorite films of all time and it deserves the SSC treatment. C'mon Sideshow... please?

But, let's not neglect Origins Max!!

I've been working on a Road Warrior Max for a while now. Just need to find the right items to use as a leg brace. I've got his hatchet and water tool made from scratch and to fine tune the shoulder pad attachment.

Nice Job!! Just needs Lonnie from HeroHeads Road Warrior sculpt on top and he's set for the wasteland!!

 

[EVILFACE]

I don't know, that head just doesnt look right to me. I didn't know who it was when i saw it on the page, and I'm the biggest RW fan their is. I'm just going to sculpt a bit of hair on him to scruffy it up a bit.

Amazing costume on the Max figure... at first the headsculpt really reminded me of the bikecop in the original film.

But I would throw my name in as a person who would love Mad Max figures... we'd probably only ever see Max, but that would be enought for me.

Nice work EVILFACE!

For Origins Max, there's always this headsculpt from one of the model kits ...

So where does that headsculpt come from? Its really nice work!

 

[foolkiller]

YEs! Count me in for SST MAd Max figures!

 

[x-Mcfreak]

I'm in, but Matt Falls or Oluf have to do the sculpting.

 

[superado]

From a while back...may even be on the old board, didn't one of the SS artists show his unofficial Max sculpt for his personal collection?

 

[Darth Kustomizer]

Yeah, I would like to see this as well.

I put a 12" Mad Max figure together a number of years ago and I would love to see this done right.

 

[galactiboy]

Saw this custom over on the OSW board from a year or so ago... pretty nice Road Warrior:

[EVILFACE]

It's a decent custom, but there is sooo much that is off on him.

 

[Mookeylama]

i wanted N2's RW figs just for the gear. i'd LOVE a SS fig!

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

I've said this so many times I'm sick of it. Yeah, I want a 1:6 Road Warrior Max. Wish the guy who was going to shrink Andy's Max head down to 1:6 had followed through. The head's at Andy's site, https://www.absculpture.com
