Hot Toys - MMS 118 Inglourious Basterds - Aldo Raine Specs & Pics

[karamazov80]

On it's merits as a figure alone, I think this one is a bit dull-looking, but the likeness is very good.

Says the guy with a Salvation sig.

Seriously.

Is Sideshow going to be selling him?
That's a cool looking figure, HT has another hit!

 

[uscmhicks]

That sculpt is spot on imo. I'm excited for this , a licensed Brad Pitt figure.

One minor nitpick , it may be the photo but does the head and right hand not look a tad oversized ?.

They typically do sell the Hot Toys 1/6 scale figures.

Best photo so far.
The figure looks amazing, and no matter how good a custom head is, it will never have that skin texture.
I saw the movie last night by the way and I only saw Brad gurn once at the Cinema.
It appears most people want the Poster face and not how he actual looks in the movie.

I think he looks much better in those photos. I think this is a great figure. The only thing I am dissapointed with is what it DIDN'T include. Seems kind of like a missed opprotunity to me. Another head and costume would have made this a slam dunk... and some dynamite to strap to his leg. IMO they picked the most boring costume out of the 3. Do I still want it though? Hell yes (as long as the price is appropriate).

Now THAT'S BRAD PITT !!!
The "others" are bull^^^^

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Maybe they include the half eaten breadroll sandwich, he's eating when Donny beats up the German who wants to die for his country, as an exclusive?




I noticed that under every pic the phrase:

"Final product may be slightly different from the pictured prototype"

I'm not sure if this is printed everytime; but what I found remarkable was the "slightly" in this phrase...

I figured they might have 2 headsculpts that are very similar to eachother. This one, approved, and maybe a second one, about the same but with a closed mouth which is unapproved.

So maybe when they get approval of that sculpt, they will give the figure that.

In a way it makes sense to show this one first because, if the other one with the closed mouth is better, and they would have showed us that, but don't get approval to make it and switch to the head he has now, everybody would be really complaining...

I don't know.. it's just something I thought of yesterday...

Maybe it can also mean that the slight change is the inclusion of a second Headsculpt

I see what you're saying here. I actually really like this sculpt and don't mind it, but I also want a head sculpt like the one in your sig.

A little modification around the eyes and mouth could make a big difference, in my opinion. Original and photoshop below:

Brad Pitt's Aldo Raine is light hearted (considering the context) and comical through the entire movie. This expression simply does not suit the character. His face is almost constantly contorted in some extreme expression or another. The sculpt needs to reflect that imo. The eyes and brow are most important (as is shown in viezures example).

 

[Restaurajones]

Yes!! this is the expression. A lot of difference only with those little changes. Hot toys take note.

What a friggin nice jacket!

 

[batfan1991]

truly beautiful

this may be one of my first hot toys purchases.

 

[BuddyGus]

Looks good. I wonder if this will be a one hit wonder for HT. Other than Col. Landa and the "Bear Jew" what other really figure worthy characters were there.

 

[Broccoli Shrapnel]

I'd take Shosanna before Landa. I know that's kind of against the consensus on the board. But, I don't really have any desire to have a figure of a Nazi. Call me sentimental.

 

[uscmhicks]

Landa is the figure I want most I think , maybe even before this. I doubt it will happen though. I just can't see it.

 

[Reinhardt]

If someone can identify a headsculpt that looks similar to him, then it wouldn't be too hard too bash him.

 

[The Entity]

I see what you're saying here. I actually really like this sculpt and don't mind it, but I also want a head sculpt like the one in your sig.

Yeah! Don't get me wrong; I think this sculpt is great too, and it will be a definite purchase for me!!!
I really like the new Toyhunters pics. The headsculpt looks even better IMO. I especially like this pic:

Pics from Toy Hunters display

Thanks for posting them up, Centrocal!!

After seeing the movie again a couple of days ago, I also wouldn't mind to see a Hugo Stiglitz figure. He was an awesome character too!

 

[dominishin]

Alright those Toy Hunters pics won me over.

The coat is nice... looks like the material they used for DX Joker's coat.
