I picked up this figure over the weekend but was surprised to find not much written up about it though I know its not exactly new news. I saw pictures of various incarnations of this Brad Pitt from Se7en and I always thought it was a cool underground figure, something I’d buy but probably could live without if I never got an opportunity to own it. In fact I would never buy it at the 300-dollar plus prices it was going for on EBay. I didt get it for the meager 130 ABC Express was asking for at the beginning o the month it but certainly not anywhere near close to the 330 asking price currently on EBay. I managed to score it at my favorite store for these great sorts of finds, Toytokyo.
I also know there are a few other versions of this figure. One, of these is a Dr. Figures knock off. But I also saw one that came with a coat a little more accurate to the film and a box that says “mills on it”.
Does anyone know what the story with this figure is? Who makes it (all I heard was that a company named Century makes it), which is the original one? Did they just re-release the figure? I’ve heard that there are only 100 of these out there.
Onto the figure, it came on some sort of Buck like body. The only noticeable thing that ruined the overall look was the hands but of course, when I re-fitted the clothes to a Hot Toys truetype, as per usual it just looked so much more realistic and natural! The clothes are absolutely awesome, in fact it makes me wonder if “Century” has anything to do with “Century Hobby” who supplied Toys2 with their awesome suits everyone used for Bruce Wayne bashes because the tailoring is just as amazing as those suits. The leather blazer is so realistic as it the pants and the shirt fits great.
The overall outfit is pretty accurate to the film but the leather jacket and bulletproof vest differ ever so slightly the jacket is a lot more fashion than the one in the film but it looks great on this figure, The badge on the belt and gauze hand is such a nice touch. I was nervous to re-wrap the gauze hand to a Truetype hand but it turned out fine.
Other accessories besides the two heads include a gun, holster bulletproof vest several hands (which I replaces of course) and a flashlight. The badge says Los Angles Police Department on it which is interesting because there was no reveal of where the story took place but I’d buy that it’s LA.
The likeness to Pitt is great and the head looks almost Hot Toys in caliber but not quite, a lot better than your average sideshow. To my disappointment t is a hollow vinyl but you can never tell because it is so well made and painted. Both heads are great and the damaged one has real bits of bandage on it! The heads didn’t fit naturally on a truetype peg so I had to chip and sand one down quite a bit to make it fit but still snug to the head.
I’m not sure when this figure was made but its very close to today’s standards (which surprises me because hear it’s a few years old)
Overall as much as I think the figure is great, it just feels sort of random for my collection. Even owning a simple John Doe as the sole character from Se7en feels a little more complete than just Detective Mills but I’m glad I own it. Aside from hoping one day the company will make Spacey and Freeman or maybe someone will make great heads for kitbahes I think I’d like to make or buy something for this figure to make it feel a little more akin to the film.
What do you think? Maybe some sort of base? Floorboards with a bucket and blood on it? Grass with a cardboard box and blond hair strands seeping out a little? Some file folders. A backdrop with “Sloth” written on it? Any ideas?
