HOT TOYS- M ICON SERIES- Marlon Brando, full spec and hi-res pics

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Well, at least it's safe to say, Hollywood hasn't got actors with that kind of charisma anymore... Which brings me to on other actor that would fit perfectly into the ICON series: Steve McQueen!

I think McQueen is a very likely addition... and one that would rock very hard

I want Elvis next....

 

[abake]

I don't know, the likeness doesn't seem that good to me.
I'm not sure I'd recognize that as Brando...

But it's still a kick ass figure.

 

[Reinhardt]

are these for sure actors who are now dead?

because I'm dying for a Blondie figure from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

 

[galactiboy]

I don't think they "have" to be dead... I think just iconic. But usually that also means dead

Any Clint Eastwood stuff is unlikely since he's very uncooperative when it comes to likeness rights.

I'm seeing a bit of Richard Burton in that face. I think the weird crusty chapped lips the figure's got aren't helping. Brando's bottom lip should be clean and full:

They do like to sculpt a lot of detail into the lips... I think in person (not a larger picture) it wouldn't be so noticeable.

Exactly what I was thinking.

He's up! $130!

 

[pixletwin]

Got mine!

 

[Ryanfromindiana]

Man...I thought this looked awesome and I showed Mz. Ryanfromindiana(a Brando fan) and all she said was his lips look really chapped. She has sucked all joy out of this piece for me.

 

[galactiboy]

Got him ordered as well... nice that he's Q3, give me some breathing room.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I really wish the jacket didn't say Brando across the back, but oh well, I won't see it when he's up on the shelf.

 

[galactiboy]

I would have preferred if they just left his name off it completely... and just had the image. But like you said... I won't display him with it showing anyway.

 

[pixletwin]

At least the front of the jacket says "Johnny" and not "Marlon".

 

[galactiboy]

I hadn't looked at the image too closely... cool that Johnny is on there. I hadn't seen any images with that before

I just got mine too.... this may be coming too soon.... Soon enough that I'll have to cancel... no way I can afford both Brando and Luke and I am afraid Luke trumps brando for me.
