Figure: Head Set 002 (Unknown Manufacturer, Hong Kong;
Click here to see packaging)
Lookalike: Ice Cube aka O'Shea Jackson (Actor; 3 Kings, Anaconda) and Saïd Taghmaoui (Actor; France; 3 Kings)
Probability: 100%. See headset A explanation.
|
Figure: Head Set 003 (Unknown Manufacturer, Hong Kong;
Click here to see packaging)
Lookalike: Matt Damon (Actor; Saving Private Ryan, Bourne Identity) and
Ed Burns (Actor; SPR, 15 Minutes)
Probability: 100%. Retailers seem to have trouble recognizing this set, but it's
clearly Saving Private Ryan's Private Ryan and Private Reiben. I think the confusion may
be due to the iffy likeness of the Ed Burns headsculpt.
|
Figure: Head Set 004 (Unknown Manufacturer, Hong Kong)
Lookalike: Robert Duvall (Actor; Apocalypse Now, Bullitt, The Eagle Has Landed)
Probability: 100%. The headsculpt is intended to depict Duvall as
Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now--the other item in the head set is
Kilgore's cavalry hat!
Thanks to rtsolle for the pic & everyone who made this
suggestion!
|
Figure: Head Set 005 (Unknown Manufacturer, Hong Kong)
Lookalike: Robert De Niro (Actor; The Deer Hunter, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver)
Probability: 100%. One headsculpt is a depiction of the younger De Niro, and
the other is De Niro as his mohawk-wearing character in Taxi
Driver.
|
Figure: Head Set 006 (Unknown Manufacturer, Hong Kong)
Lookalike: Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer (Actors; Heat)
Probability: 100%. The sculpts depict the actors as they appeared in the film, Heat.
|
Figure: Heinz, Wiking Division, Armoured Reconnaissance,
Unterscharfuhrer, Hungary '45 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Joaquim de Almeida (Actor; Clear and Present Danger, Desperado)
Probability: Intentional resemblance or not, the headsculpt is
nonetheless a good likeness of de Almeida (just look at the mouth and
eyes!). All it needs is a new paint job.
Thanks to whomever sent in the suggestion & pics! (Send me your name again please)
|
Figure: Herbert, U-Boat Captain (Dragon)
Lookalike: Tom Hanks (Actor; Castaway, Saving Private Ryan)
Probability: Coincidence. It's just the beard, I think.
|
Figure: Hong Kong Police, Madam Fong, Police Constable (HK Comic
Fest '03 Exclusive) (Dragon)
Lookalike: Miriam Yeung Chin Wah (Hong Kong Actress;
Love
Undercover,
My Lucky Star)
Probability: 100%. Dragon
timed the release of their figure to coincide with the release of Miriam's
hit movie, Love
Undercover 2. In the film, she even plays a HK policewoman named Fong!
Combined with her profile as Hong Kong's #1 female star, this is undoubtedly
supposed to be Miriam Yeung.
Thanks to Gaiagear Leo for the frontal pic!
|
Figure: Hong Kong Police, Sgt Wah, Police Tactical Unit (Dragon)
Lookalike: Simon Yam Tat-Wah (Hong Kong Actor;
Full Contact,
Mission,
PTU,
Tomb Raider 2)
Probability: 100%. A PTU figure that was released just in time for Yam's
PTU film.
 |
Figure: Hong Kong Police, Simon, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau (Dragon)
Lookalike: Moses Chan Ho (Hong Kong Actor; Armed Reaction III, The
Blade)
Probability: 100%. If the exact likeness wasn't enough, you can also consider that Chan rose
to popularity in HK recently due to a TV series called Armed Reaction, where he played a HKP officer.
You do the math.
|
Figure: Hong Kong Police, SRS-5 Suit, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau (Dragon)
Lookalike: Leon Lai Ming (Hong Kong Actor; A
Hero Never Dies,
City Hunter,
Skyline Cruisers)
Probability: 100%. Every Chinese RHKP/HKP figure thus far has been
based on a HK movie star.
|
Figure: Hoppy Bell, 5th US Army Rangers WW2 (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: William Holden (Actor; Stalag 17, Devil's Brigade, The Bridge on the River Kwai)
Probability: Very high.
|
Figure: Hubert, Inspecteur de Police, France (Dragon)
Lookalike: Jean Reno (Actor; Leon the Professional, Godzilla, Crimson
Rivers, Ronin, Wasabi)
Probability: 100%. In Hong Kong, this set was released as an official
"Wasabi" movie figure, so it's definitely supposed to be Reno. Elsewhere, it was released as
simply Hubert, hence its inclusion on this site
despite the "no licensed figures" policy.
Thanks to everyone who made this suggestion!
|
Figure: Hugh, USMC 26th MEU, Operation Swift Freedom (Dragon)
Lookalike: Richard Roxburgh (Actor; Mission Impossible 2, Moulin
Rouge)
Probability:Very high. I cannot get a good photo of the real Roxburgh
yet, but pull out your M:I-2 DVD and take a look. The headsculpt looks
a LOT like him. Slap a dark suit on him and put him beside your Hot
Toys MI2 Ethan Hunt figure and you've got a little diorama going.
(Note: Dragon's "William" WW2 figure has the same headsculpt but
with a different haircut)
|
Figure: Israeli Paratrooper (Armoury)
Lookalike: David Faitelson (Mexican Sports Anchorman)
Probability: Seems unlikely, but does it ever look like him!
Thanks to Carlos M. Santillan for the suggestion & pics!
|
Figure: Jack, USMC Sniper Korean War (Dragon)
Lookalike: Gregory Peck (Actor; Pork Chop Hill, Cape Fear)
Probability: High. Pork Chop Hill was set in Korea.
Alternative: Jeffrey Chandler (Actor; Merril's Marauders)
Thanks to glabers and Lt Schaffer1 for the suggestions!
|
Figure: Jackson, US Army M2 Heavy Machinegun Team, 3rd ID, Operation Iraqi Freedom
(Dragon)
Lookalike: Dennis Rodman (Former Basketball Star, Actor;
Double Team,
Simon Sez,
SOF)
Probability: 100%. Perfect likeness.
|
Figure: Jake, Nam US Marine RTO Force Recon (Dragon)
Lookalike: Robert Forster (Actor; Jackie Brown, Supernova, The Black Hole)
Probability: Definite resemblance. What a cool subject for a headsculpt! (Assuming it's him of course)
Alternative: Robert Preston (Actor; The Last Starfighter, The Music Man)
|
Figure: James, Vietnam M60 Gunner (Dragon)
Lookalike: Jeremy Northam (English Actor; Mimic, The Net, Emma)
Probability: Very High. This is what I meant by "a haircut the
actor has never worn in any film". It made identification
difficult, but if you concentrate on the face, it's definitely Northam.
Same nose, eyebrows, jowls, everything. Americans may not recognize him,
but he is quite a popular actor in Britain (he was once up for the Bond
role) and Hong Kong was British until recently, so...
|
Figure: James Ford, US Army Bazookaman, PFC, 2nd ID, France 1944
(Dragon)
Lookalike: Ted Danson (Actor; Saving Private Ryan, Cheers, Becker)
Probability: Very high.
Thanks to Ranger Au for the suggestion!
