Figure: Ted, Delta Force Night Ops - Tora Bora (Dragon)
Lookalike: Joseph Fiennes (Actor; Enemy at the Gates, Shakespeare in
Love, Elizabeth)
Probability: Very high. Great likeness. Just look at the
eyes/eyebrows. Of course, the haircut severely cuts
down on any movie kitbashing potential. Ouch.
Thanks to Tippytoe & LtMindBinder for the suggestion!

Figure: Tim, US Ranger M240B MG Gunner (Dragon)
Lookalike: Ewan McGregor (Actor;
Black Hawk Down,
Star Wars Episode 2,
Moulin Rouge)
Probability: Low. Considering the figure came out years before the movie, it is
extremely unlikely that Dragon intentionally modelled this after McGregor's character in
Black Hawk Down. However, it works very well for that purpose anyway.

Figure: Tom Dewitt, 82nd Airborne Division, Pathfinder, Normandy 1944
(Dragon)
Lookalike: Nicolas Cage (Actor; Windtalkers, The Rock, Con Air)
Probability: 100%. It has Cage's exact nose and mouth and his
overall look. It appears to have been based on Cage in the film
"Windtalkers" because it even has an identical scar around one eye.
What's odd is that Dragon made official Windtalkers figures and the
Cage headsculpt used for those was not as good as this one! Stranger still is that
Dragon made yet another Cage look-alike in their Jeb figure.
Thanks to A.Smith & everyone else who made this suggestion!

Figure: Trident, Boarding Unit, US Navy Seal Team 8 (BBI)
Lookalike: Brad Pitt (Actor; 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, Ocean's 11, Se7en, Troy)
Probability: 100%. Compare this against BBI's old "Owl" Night Ops SEAL figure to
see how far the quality of sculpting & painting has advanced in a few short years. Pretty amazing.
Thanks to SilverA4 for the suggestion!

Figure: TrueType Nude Figure, African-American (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: Will Smith (Actor and whack rhymer; Independence Day, Men
in Black)
Probability: Very high. Looks like him plus Hot Toys also has a
"Combat Aircrew Pilot" that is outfitted like his character in
ID4.
|
Figure: TrueType Nude Figure, Caucasian (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: Tom Cruise (Actor; Top Gun, Mission Impossible 2)
Probability: Very high. Hot Toys also uses this figure in their F14
pilot set (ie, Top Gun).
|
Figure: US Army Ranger, 1st Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: Orlando Bloom (Actor; Black Hawk Down, The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean)
Probability: 100%. The cheekbones and jaw are unmistakable.
|
Figure: Vassily, Red Army Tank Commander (Sergeant), Kursk 1943 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Ron Eldard (Actor;
Black Hawk Down,
Deep Impact,
Ghost
Ship,
When Trumpets Fade)
Probability: High. His work as the captured pilot in
BHD
certainly gives him sixth scale appeal.
|
Figure: Viking (Ignite)
Lookalike: Arnold Schwarzenegger (Actor;
End of Days,
Eraser,
Terminator 2,
True Lies)
Probability: 100%. Within the span of a few months, Ah-nuldt
lookalikes were released by Dragon, BBI, and Ignite. Who would
have imagined that Ignite, the smallest company, would produce by far the
best likeness? This is an excellent rendition of the late 1990s
Arnold, perfectly capturing his slimmed-down visage.
|
Figure: Viper, F-15C Fighter Pilot (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Val Kilmer (Actor; Top Gun, Ghost & the Darkness)
Probability: Doesn't look much like him, but the blonde hair and Top Gun connection make me wonder.
|
Figure: Vladimir, Red Army Scout, Austria, Spring 1945 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Edward Burns (Actor; Saving Private Ryan, 15 Minutes)
Probability: Similar head shape & squint. It could certainly pass for him.
|
Figure: Volkmar, Luftwaffe Pz-Gren. MG34 Gunner, HG Panzer-Div (Gefreiter) Anzio 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Treat Williams (Actor; Deep Rising, The Substitute 2-4, The Phantom)
Probability: Medium-high. The square jaw, hairline, and big ears are suggestive, but I don't think
Williams has ever had such a manevolent expression in any movie he has made.
|
Figure: Wermacht Officer (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: Ed Harris (Actor; Enemy at the Gates, Apollo 13, The Rock)
Probability: High. Set was released soon after Enemy at the Gates,
where Harris played a nazi officer.
|
Figure: Wiley, 7th US Armored Division, US BAR Gunner WW2 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Neil McDonough (Actor; Minority Report, Band of Brothers, Ravenous)
Probability: Though McDonough is still a bit obscure, the sculpt looks like him and the BoB
connection increases the probability.
Thanks to Tim Sondrup for the suggestion and pics!

Figure: Winona, NYPD Sniper (Dragon)
Lookalike: Winona Ryder (Actress; Heathers, Beetlejuice)
Probability: High, though the likeness is bad. I think this one may have been sculpted first and then simply given the name afterwards by fan poll. Is it just my imagination, or are Dragon's female head sculpts kinda weak?
