Figure: Major General Robert Roy Urquhart, Brit 1st Abn Div Cmdr, Arnhem 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Sean Connery (Actor; The Longest Day, The Man Who Would Be King, Zardoz)
Probability: 100%.
Thanks to Joseph Jacobs for the suggestion!

Figure: Major Krauer, Luftwaffe Jagdeschwader Commander, E.Prussia '44 (Dragon)
Lookalike: David James Elliott (Actor; JAG)
Probability: Hmm...
Alternative (Not Pictured): Edward Norton (Actor; Primal Fear, Rounders)
|
Figure: Major Von Falkenburg, Wermacht Infanterie Officer, Parade Dress Uniform (Dragon)
Lookalike: Richard Burton (Actor; The Wild Geese, Where Eagles Dare, The Longest Day)
Probability: Very high. Looks like him and would be in keeping with the tradition of celebrity
look-alikes from Cyber-Hobby.com exclusives.
Thanks to the UK guys for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Malcolm Parks, Coldstream Guards (Dragon)
Lookalike: Peter O'toole (Actor; Lawrence of Arabia, Zulu Dawn)
Probability: Very high.
Thanks to Centermass for the suggestion & pics!
 
|
Figure: Marius, Heer Panzer Crewman, 7 Panzer Division, Kursk 1943 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Aaron Eckhart (Actor; The Core, Paycheck, Erin Brokovich, Nurse Betty)
Probability: Medium. The cleft chin and jaw are very similar, but
then again, Eckhart's looks are generically handsome.
|
Figure: Mark, Royal Marine Commando WW2 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Ben Chaplin (British Actor; The Thin Red Line, Truth About Cats & Dogs
Probability: High. It looks just like him and it's a nice match to have a Brit actor for a British soldier figure. Chaplin is one of the more prominent young British actors.
|
Figure: Marshall, US Army Apache Pilot (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Tom Cruise (Actor; Mission Impossible, Top Gun, Born on 4th of July)
Probability: Very high.
Thanks to Joseph Jacobs for the suggestion!

Figure: Marx Captain Maddox (Marx)
Lookalike: Robert Conrad (Actor; The Wild Wild West)
Probability: 100%
Thanks to Frank May for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Max, Fallschirmjager, Crete 1941 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Max Schmeling (Champion Boxer and WW2 draftee)
Probability: 100%. The sculpt looks just like him, the names are the
same, and Schmeling is a former fallschirmjager (German paratrooper).
Schmeling's rather interesting life involved confrontations with Hitler and
forced suicide missions, all of which you can read about at
this link.
Thanks to Julia for the suggestion!

Figure: Max, Panzergrenadier NCO SS-PzGren-Regt "Deutschland" Zhitomer 1943 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Ryan Gosling (Actor; Murder by Numbers, Young Hercules, Breaker High :))
Probability: Hmm...
Thanks to Tim Sondrup for the suggestion & pics!

Figure: Mel, British Royal Marine, Al-Faw Peninsula, March 2003 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Barry Pepper (Actor; Saving Private Ryan, Enemy of State, Battlefield Earth)
Probability: Very high.
|
Figure: Meyer, German 3rd Fallschirmjager Division, Ardennes 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Alec Baldwin (Actor; The Hunt for Red October, The Shadow,
Mercury Rising)
Probability: Very high. It looks just like him (though from his
pudgy later years). Look at the strange way the lip is separated and
then goes up from the middle.

Figure: Mike, Nam Green Beret (Dragon)
Lookalike: Victor Garber (Canadian actor; Titanic, Alias)
Probability: Tough call. There is a STRONG resemblance in many
of the facial features right down to the lopsided mouth. The
only niggling point is that there is a fundamental difference in the overall
shape of the skull. Garber has a pronouned roundness to his head
(though the pic below conceals this somewhatl) whereas Mike's head is
angular. If Dragon had intended to do Garber, it's surprising that
they would miss that prominent aspect.
Alternative (not pictured):
A young Dale Dye (Actor & military advisor; Platoon, Band of Brothers)
Thanks
to JA "Leviathan" Sheen for the great pic and suggestion!
|
Figure: Mike Connolly, Private, US Army Infantryman, 29th ID, Omaha Beach 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Giovanni Ribisi (Actor; Saving Private Ryan, Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow)
Probability: Very high. The bags under the eyes, the pinched lips,
and the hangdog look are reminiscent of Ribisi, plus the figure has a connection to the famous Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan.
|
Figure: Misha, WW2 Russian Sniper (Dragon)
Lookalike: Jude Law (Actor; Enemy at the Gates, Gattaca)
Probability: 100%. See Kater description. Wicked sculpt, too.
|
Figure: Mitch, F117A Nighthawk Pilot (Dragon)
Lookalike: Bruce Davison (Actor; X-Men)
Probability: They do look similar, but I'd be surprised if Dragon's designers know
who Davison is.
Alternative (not pictured): Jeff Chandler (Actor; Merrill's Marauders)
Alternative 2 (not pictured): James Brolin (Actor; Pensacola Wings of Gold)
REALITY: BlueFox has informed me that Mitch is based on a real life 144th fighter wing, Lieutenant-Colonel Bill Gore. He is pictured in the book, "US Aircrew Combat Flight & Survival Gear". Apparently, Dragon uses this book quite often.

Thanks to Medic R, Sean, & Dan Reed for the celeb suggestions!

Figure: Nagashima, NCO (Sergeant), 100th Inf Battalion "Red Bull" Division, Italy 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Gordon Liu Chia-Liang (Hong Kong Actor; Kill Bill, 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Tiger on Beat)
Probability: Extremely high.
Alternative 1: Yul Brynner (Actor; The King & I, The Magnificent Seven, Westworld)
Alternative 2 (Not Pictured): Mako (Actor; Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer, Pearl Harbor, Samurai Jack)
Thanks to CustomDawg for Liu suggestion and O.Galvan for Brynner!
|
Figure: Nate, Nam Recon (Dragon)
Lookalike: Mario Van Peebles (Actor; Gunmen, Solo, Posse)
Probability: Van Peebles has certainly done enough macho action flicks to serve as the inspiration for an action figure, but the likeness here is questionable.
|
Figure: Neil Williams, British Paratrooper WW2 (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Russell Crowe (Actor; Proof of Life, Gladiator, Virtuosity)
Probability: Strangely puffy faced, but unmistakably Crowe.
|
Figure: New York Police Officer (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Brad Garrett (Actor; Everybody Loves Raymond)
Probability: High. Garrett famously plays a NYPD officer on his "Everybody..." TV show.
Alternative (Not pictured): Andy Garcia (Actor; Black Rain, Desperate Measures, Ocean's 11)
Thanks to M.Fernandez & F106Lady for Garcia suggestion!
