Figure: Police Officer, America's Finest Carded Set (21st Century Toys)
Lookalike: Michael Medved (Insufferable conservative film critic & corrupt fraud)
Probability: Coincidence, I hope.
Alternative (not pictured): Gary Dell'abate aka Baba Bouie (Insufferable radio
personality on the Howard Stern Show)
Thanks to Jonathan Andrew Sheen for the pics & Ironman1188 for the alternative!
|
Figure: Pollack, US Army M2 Heavy Machinegun Team, 3rd ID, Operation Iraqi Freedom (Dragon)
Lookalike: Michael Owen (English football (soccer) star)
Probability: Very high.
Thanks to band of figures for the suggestion & pics!
|
Figure: RAF Pilot, WW2 British (3-Zero Toys)
Lookalike: David Beckham (Mr. Posh Spice, English football (soccer) player)
Probability: High. Like Zidane (Dragon's "Duane"), Beckham is one of the most popular soccer players in the world.
The probability is made higher with the British connection and good likeness. I must say, this is one wicked
headsculpt even without the celebrity connection.
Alternative (not pictured): Cary Elwes (Actor; The Princess Bride, Liar Liar)
Thanks to M.Rigert for the Elwes suggestion!
|
Figure: Raider, NSCT (Naval Security Coordination Team), Navy SEAL (Dragon)
Lookalike: Colin Farrell (Actor; SWAT, Tigerland, American Outlaws, Alexander the Great)
Probability: Extremely high. The sculpt seems a tad chubby in the
face, but the mouth, nose and eyebrows are very suggestive of Farrell.
This headsculpt was also included in BBI's limited edition Merit exclusive
'Metro SWAT' figure, which is conspicuous given that Farrell starred in a
SWAT film.
|
Figure: Red Parker, Corporal, US Army Mortar, WW2 (BBI)
Lookalike: John Wayne (Actor; The Longest Day, The Green Berets, How
The West Was Won)
Probability: 100%.
|
Figure: Reggie, British 8th Army North Africa WW2 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Micky Dolenz (Musician; The Monkees)
Probability: What do you think?
|
Figure: Reinhardt, Afrika Korps (Dragon)
Lookalike: Christopher Lambert (Actor; Gunmen, Greystoke, Highlander, tons of cheesy yet entertaining crap)
Probability: Why not? I believe Lambert's films are heavily distributed in Hong Kong.
|
Figure: Robert, WW2 Second British Commando Unit (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Sean Connery (Actor; James Bond, A Bridge Too Far,
Zardoz :) )
Probability: 100%.
|
Figure: Roger, Royal Marine Commando, United Kingdom (Dragon)
Lookalike: Paul McGann (Brit Actor;
The One That Got Away,
Horatio Hornblower,
Doctor Who)
Probability: High. Figure has McGann's gaunt, vacant look. McGann also played a SAS trooper quite famously in The One That Got Away, based on the
famous
Bravo Two Zero Gulf War incident.
|
Figure: Roman Empire Centurion (Ignite)
Lookalike: Russell Crowe (Actor;
Gladiator,
Proof of Life,
Virtuosity,
The Quick & the Dead)
Probability: 100%. The headsculpt looks like Crowe in
Gladiator and the Centurion outfit just reinforces the connection to the
film.
|
Figure: Roman Empire Centurion, White Feather with Red Cape Version
(Ignite)
Lookalike: Al Pacino (Actor; The Godfather Trilogy, Revolution, Scarface, Serpico)
Probability: 100%. Just look at it!
|
Figure: Roman Legions March Pack (Ignite)
Lookalike: Joaquin Phoenix (Actor; Gladiator, U-Turn, Signs, The Village)
Probability: Very high.
|
Figure: Ron, MAC-V SOG (Dragon)
Lookalike: Charles Bronson (Actor; Dirty Dozen, The Magnificent Seven)
Probability: 100%. Just look at him!
|
Figure: Roy, US Rangers Sniper (Dragon)
Lookalike: Vinnie Jones (Former English football (soccer) player & hard case, Actor; Swordfish, Snatch)
Probability: Hmm. Similar headshape and brow, but Roy
doesn't have Vinnie's psychotic, lower-order primate glare.
Thanks to LOX2K for the suggestion!

Figure: Royal Hong Kong Police, Dog Handler (Dragon)
Lookalike: Yuen Biao (Hong Kong Actor;
Eastern Condors,
The Prodigal Son,
A Man Called Hero)
Probability: 100%. Yuen Biao is one of the all-time great kung fu actors from Hong
Kong's golden age and it's about time DML did him (now they just need Sammo Hung & a good Jackie).
|
Figure: Royal Hong Kong Police, Emergency Unit Sergeant (Dragon)
Lookalike: Lau Ching Wan (Hong Kong Actor; Big Bullet, Black Mask, Full Alert)
Probability: 100%. Modelled precisely after his awesome character in Big Bullet.
 
|
Figure: Royal Hong Kong Police, Emergency Unit Team Member(Dragon)
Lookalike: Ah Hei (Hong Kong Actor)
Probability: 100%. Ah Hei plays an EU officer on HK television.
Thanks to Porkins for the suggestion!
 
|
Figure: Royal Hong Kong Police, Police Constable (Dragon)
Lookalike: Tony Leung Chiu Wai (Actor, Hong Kong; Hard-Boiled, In the Mood for Love, Tokyo Raiders)
Probability: 100%. It looks just like him and he is a major star in Hong Kong (which is where Dragon is based). Perfect likeness. I really want to get ahold of this figure for a Hard-Boiled kitbash with Det.Chow!
|
Figure: Royal Hong Kong Police, Tactical Unit (Dragon)
Lookalike: Alex Fong (Actor, Hong Kong; Double Tap, Rules of the Game)
Probability: 100%. Trust me. This is the guy. Double Tap was a film about competitive shooting and I'm sure it increased Fong's profile among the gun/airsoft/dragon figure crowd in Hong Kong. Likeness is only mediocre though. The actual guy is tougher-looking.
|
Figure: Royal Hong Kong Police, Traffic Headquarters (Dragon)
Lookalike: Stephen Chow (Hong Kong Actor; Shaolin Soccer, Fight Back to School, God of Gamblers 3)
Probability: 100%. Chow is the #1 star in Hong Kong and this is clearly modelled after one of his movie characters (It even includes a hot dog prop used in the film!).
