Figure: Dan Summers, Platoon Leader, 101st Airborne Division, Normany
1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Ronald Reagan (US President, Actor; Desperate Journey, This is the Army, Last Outpost)
Probability: High.
Thanks to Nova191919 for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Dave, WW2 1st Infantry Sgt (Dragon)
Lookalike: Aleksandr Baluyev (Actor; The Peacemaker, Deep Impact, Proof Of Life)
Probability: High. It has Baluyev's unique look and I think he made an impression with The Peacemaker.
But he's a strange choice for an American GI, isn't he?
Thanks to Dan Reed for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Dean, Swift Freedom US Army Special Forces (Dragon)
Lookalike: Steven Seagal (Reincarnated Lama, Actor; Under Siege I & II)
Probability: It's about time we had a Seagal headsculpt, though the likeness seems a touch off.
Alternative 1: Liev Schrieber (Actor; Sum of All Fears, Scream I, II, III)
Alternative 2: Jason Isaacs (British Actor; Blackhawk Down, Soldier, The Patriot)
Thanks to Mettcdn for the Schrieber suggestion!
|
Figure: Delta Force African American, Freedom Force (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Denzel Washington (Actor; Crimson Tide, Courage Under
Fire, The Siege, Ricochet)
Probability: Very high. It's unfortunate that the haircut
severely limits kitbashing potential.
|
Figure: Dennis, US Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unit (Dragon)
Lookalike: Liam Neeson (Actor; K-19 The Widowmaker, Rob Roy, Episode 1: The Phantom Menace)
Probability: High.
|
Figure: Detective Chow, NYPD (Dragon)
Lookalike: Chow Yun Fat (Actor; The Corruptor, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Tiger on Beat)
Probability: 100%. He's called Chow, for Pete's sake!!
|
Figure: Devgru, GI Joe 2003 Convention Exclusive Version (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: David Beckham (English
football (soccer) star)
Probability: 100%. Another Beckham headsculpt! 3-Zero's RAF pilot may still be the most "bad ass" tough guy rendition of Beckham, but Hot Toys' version certainly sports the closest resemblance.
|
Figure: DEVGRU, Naval Special Warfare Development Group, Toys2 Exclusive Edition (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: Matt Damon (Actor; The Bourne Identity, Saving Private Ryan, Ocean's 11)
Probability: Good chance. Headsculpt has Damon's broad face,
square head, pronounced cheekbones, and
similar eyebrows. (Note: The same head is used on Hot Toys' Navy Seal CQB
desert & jumpsuit figures)
|
Figure: Dieter Voss, German Panzer Grenadier WW2 (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Peter Weller (Actor; Robocop, Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Screamers)
Probability: High. Same gaunt face, deep set eyes and thick lips.
 
 
|
Figure: Doc Peterson, Private, US Army Medic, 94th ID, Saar-Moselle Triangle 1945 (Dragon)
Lookalike: John Forsythe (Actor; Charlie's Angels, Winged Victory, Dynasty, Tail Gunner Joe)
Probability: Very high. Forsythe was in the Army Air Corps during WW2.
Thanks to D. Harris for the suggestion & pics!
|
Figure: Donald Moore, WW2 RAF Flight Lieutenant (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Clark Gable (Actor;
Run Silent Run Deep,
Command Decision,
Gone with the Wind)
Probability: Very high. Gable even joined the Army Air
Corps during WW2.
Alternative (Not Pictured):
Clive "Killer" Caldwell
(Real-life WW2 RAF ace)
|
Figure: Drastic Plastic American Base Body (Drastic Plastic)
Lookalike: Tom Hanks (Actor; Saving Private Ryan)
Probability: With the sculpt's bulbous nose tip and Hanks' SPR connection, there's little doubt as
to who this is supposed to be.
Thanks to Darrell Davis Jr for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Duane, USMC MOUT (Dragon)
Lookalike: Zinedine Zidane (French football (soccer) player)
Probability: High, despite the lack of a good photo. Soccer is
popular in Asia (pretty much everywhere except North America) and
Zidane is one of its major stars. He's so popular that
they projected his name and face on the Arc de Triomphe!
Thanks to Porkins for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Dusty, WW2 PTO USMC (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: George Clooney (Actor; The Peacemaker, From Dusk Til
Dawn, Three Kings, O11)
Probability: 100%.
 
|
Figure: Eddy Lam, Airport Security Unit (Dragon)
Lookalike: Michael Fitzgerald Wong (Actor; Final Option, First Option, Once a Thief TV series)
Probability: High. It looks a lot like him. It has his haircut and facial structure.
I believe Dragon's Michael Chan SDU figure (their very first 1/6th release) was also
based on Wong, but I guess Dragon's sculpting talent wasn't up to the task before.
|
Figure: Electra, Cy-Girl 2.0 (Blue Box Toys / Takara)
Lookalike: Phoebe Cates (Actress; Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Gremlins, Paradise)
Alternative: Drew Barrymore (Actress; Poison Ivy, Batman Forever, Scream)
Probability: You could easily make a case for either Barrymore or Cates, but perhaps that is because
they have similar features: Pouty lips, rosy cheeks, big eyes, and thin arched eyebrows. However,
my money is on Cates. Even though Barrymore is a bigger star, Phoebe is supposedly quite big in Japan, which is
where the Cy-Girls are designed. And let's face it, Drew only looked liked that during her brief "Poison Ivy" bad girl years.
|
Figure: Erich Hartmann, WW2 Luftwaffe (Dragon)
Lookalike: James Cagney (Actor)
Probability: Hmm. Erich Hartmann was a real person, but Dragon's sculpt doesn't
look much like him (Click here to see real life Hartman). James
Cagney is a better match for the sculpt, though I couldn't find any good photos of Cagney.
|
Figure: Eugen, Wermacht-Heer Medic, 116 Panzer Division, Aachen 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Antonio Banderas (Actor; Desperado, Ecks vs Sever, The Mask of Zorro,
13th Warrior)
Probability: Extremely high. Does anyone else think it funny
that they took a famously
dark-haired, swarthy actor and gave him the full, blonde hair, blue-eyed, Nazi poster
boy makeover? Someone at Dragon must be having a laugh over this one. However, look past the 'camouflage' and you will find a great likeness
of El Banderas. The shape of the face, the cheekbones, the glare and especially the bulbous nose tip are
perfect matches. Nice one, Dragon.
|
Figure: Evan, SAS Sniper, Basra, March 2003 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Jeremy Renner (Actor; SWAT)
Probability: Hmm. Currently, Renner's only notable role was as the villain in the movie "SWAT", so
he is not particularly famous. On the other hand, Dragon has released a line of officially licensed
figures from the same movie, so perhaps this is a left over headsculpt. Regardless, it would certainly work
well for a SWAT movie kitbash.
|
Figure: Fallschirmjager in Kreta, 2003 Anniversary Figure (BBI)
Lookalike: David Keith (Actor; U-571, Behind Enemy Lines, Daredevil, Firestarter,
Men of Honor)
Probability: Very high. The sculpt definitely looks like Keith.
Thanks to J.Romano for the suggestion & pics!
