Figure: Body Builder, Asian (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Jet Li (Actor;
Black Mask,
Fist of Legend,
Kiss of the Dragon,
Lethal Weapon 4)
Probability: Medium. When blurry preview pics of this
figure were first released to the online community, they caused a small stir due to the headsculpt's
'obvious' resemblance to Jet Li. Unfortunately, either the headsculpt was altered before production or active
imaginations filled in details missing from the blurry images, as the final
product bore little resemblance to Li. The general shape of the head
is similar to Jet's, yet overall it does not
capture his spirit well (finding a photograph that would give even
the illusion of similarity was extremely difficult). Note to Blue Box:
Please try another Jet Li headsculpt in the future!

Figure: Body Builder, Caucasian (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Charlie Sheen (Actor; Navy SEALs, Platoon)
Probability: High. It has Sheen's furrowed brow and his exact robust jaw line.
Thanks to Matt Black for the suggestion!

Figure: Body Builder, G3 type, (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Arnold Schwarzenegger (Actor;
Commando,
Conan,
Predator,
Raw Deal,
Terminator)
Probability: 100%. BBI's rendition of Schwarzenegger is a bit peculiar
in that it has wrinkles which make the face look older, yet it also has the broad cheeks and
'thick' look reminiscent of the young Arnold. It may work best in a Raw Deal kitbash or as a character from one of the Austrian Oak's late 1980s
films.
Thanks to Centermass for the figure pic!

Figure: Brian, Special Forces Kuwait (Dragon)
Lookalike: Tom Berenger (Actor; Sniper, Platoon)
Probability: High. Looks a heck of a lot like him! Plus, he has been in a lot of macho military flicks.
Alternative (not pictured): Wes Studi (Native American Actor; Geronimo, Heat)
 
|
Figure: Bud Kaiser, US Army Rifleman 4th Infantry Division, Private, France 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Burt Reynolds (Actor; Deliverance, The Longest Yard, Sharky's Machine, White Lightning)
Probability: High. Look at the thick face & lips and the high foreheard.
Alternative: Vincent D'Onofrio (Actor;
Full Metal Jacket,
The
Newton Boys,
The Blood of Heroes)
Thanks to Toyboxer.com for the Reynolds suggestion!
|
Figure: Captain Miller, US Army 2nd Ranger Battalion, WW2 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Bruce Willis (Actor; Die Hard, Hart's War)
Probability: Yippee-Ki-Yay...
Alternative (Not Pictured): Phil Hartman (Comedian; Saturday Night Live)
Thanks to Brad Fyfe, Guy Redwing, and everyone else for the suggestions!
|
Figure: Carl Hayes, Skate Board Shop Owner, Skateboardz (DID Corp)
Lookalike: Justin Timberlake (Singer)
Probability: High. Finally! I have the "sweet" character for my prison diorama! Seriously though, the headsculpt has a cartoony style, but its bushy eyebrows, curly hair, and face shape are very Timberlake-esque.
Thanks to Doc T for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Cheong, SDU (Dragon)
Lookalike: Peter Yung Kam-Cheong (Actor, Hong Kong; Final Option, Full Alert)
Probability: 100%. He was in the SDU film that started the craze, Final Option. His real name is Cheong. C'mon! It's gotta be him.
Thanks to the friend who kindly sent the picture!
|
Figure: Chopper, 26th MEU, 3rd Force Recon (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Jim Caviezel (Actor;
GI Jane,
The Thin Red Line,
High Crimes,
Ride With
The Devil)
Probability: High. So the pictures aren't the greatest and the sculpt
is a little puffy, but concentrate on the wide mouth, distinctive eyebrows,
eye bags, and high cheekbones. It does not hurt matters that Caviezel
played a marine in High Crimes and has appeared in many war movies.
|
Figure: Chris, SAS Sniper (Dragon)
Lookalike: Val Kilmer (Actor; Heat, Batman Forever, Red Planet,
Top Gun)
Probability: Good. Kilmer's Heat character was named Chris and had a
sniper scene with that exact weapon. Likeness seems a bit off, however.
Alternative: A young Tcheky Karyo (Actor; Professional, Kiss of the Dragon,
Nikita, The Patriot)
Alternative 2 (Not Pictured): Sean Bean (Actor; Bravo Two Zero, Ronin, Lord of the Rings)
Thanks to Erik for the Bean suggestion!
|
Figure: Chris Naylor, Corporal, Australian SASR HALO (BBI)
Lookalike: Ewan McGregor (Actor; Black Hawk Down, Moulin Rouge, Star Wars Episodes I-III)
Probability: Definite similarities. Look at the wide nose, thin upper
lip, forehead, and slightly cleft chin. Though not obvious in the picture
below, the sculpt is perhaps a bit too chubby in
the cheeks, but if you slapped a beard on it you would have a decent Obi-Wan from Attack of the Clones.
Thanks to darth kared for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Christian, Ski Jaeger (Dragon)
Lookalike: James Van Der Beek (Actor; Dawson's Creek, Varsity Blues)
Probability: Not likely. You think figure designers in Hong Kong have even heard of Dawson's Creek, let alone watched it? :)
 
|
Figure: Chuck, US Army 1st Infantry Division WW2(Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: A young Charlton Heston (Actor; Planet of the Apes, Omega Man, Soylent Green)
Probability: 100%.
|
Figure: Clay, Counter Terrorism Advisor Pacific Region (Dragon)
Lookalike: Kevin Phillips (British soccer (football) player)
Probability: High despite the lack of good pictures. Yet another fantastic and tough-looking footy player headsculpt by Dragon.
|
Figure: Cobra GEK (Medicom/Sideshow Toys)
Lookalike: Ian Holm (Actor; Alien, The Fifth Element, Lord of the Rings)
Probability: Hmm...
Thanks to Leviathan for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Cody, Special Ops, Rumalia, Operation Iraqi Freedom (Dragon)
Lookalike: Warren Beatty (Actor;
Dick Tracy,
Ishtar,
The Parallax View,
Reds)
Probability: Very high.
 |
Figure: Colin, SAS Recon (Dragon)
Lookalike: Roy Keane (Irish football (soccer) player; Captain,
Manchester United)
Probability: Medium-High. Dragon has been sculpting
footballers lately (Kent & Jamie). Better Keane pics are needed
though.
Alternative 1: Peter Stormare
(Swedish Actor; The Lost World, Fargo, The Big Lebowski)
Alternative 2:
Jason Statham (English
Actor;
Snatch, The One, Ghosts of Mars)
Thanks to Mike Fisher for the Stormare
suggestion!
Thanks to BarrieUK for informing me of Keane's Irish lineage. :)
|
Figure: Crusader (Ignite)
Lookalike: Sean Connery (Actor;
Hunt for Red October,
Indiana Jones
& Last Crusade,
The Rock)
Probability: 100%.
|
Figure: Curtis, USMC Maritime Special Purpose Force, Swift Freedom (Dragon)
Lookalike: Wesley Snipes (Actor; Blade)
Probability: 100%. Truly an awesome sculpt.
|
Figure: Danny, WW2 82nd Airborne Paratrooper (Dragon)
Lookalike: Kirk Douglas (Actor; Spartacus, Paths of Glory)
Probability: 100%. Danny has Douglas' nose and trademark chin dimple.
For Your Consideration: Jack Palance (Actor; City Slickers). Just look at the second row of pictures! Probably this is more due to Palance & Douglas having similar skulls than anything else.
