Figure: Nick Corrigan, First Special Service Force, WW2 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Nick Lidstrom (Swedish Hockey Star (plays in the NHL))
Probability: Hmm...
Thanks to Kristen G. for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Nigel, SAS (Dragon)
Lookalike: Kevin Spacey (Actor; The Usual Suspects)
Probability: What do you think?
Alternative (not pictured): Tommy Lee Jones (Actor; Men in Black)
Thanks to Bob Steffey for Jones suggestion!
|
Figure: Night Ops Jumper, US Navy SEAL (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: George Clooney (Actor; From Dusk Til Dawn, The Peacemaker, Ocean's 11)
Probability: Very high.
|
Figure: NVA North Vietnamese Army Regular (21st Century Toys)
Lookalike: Jason Scott Lee (Actor; Dragon, Soldier, Dracula Ascension, Timecop 2)
Probability: Hmm. The sculpt accurately recreates Lee's robust facial structure and full lips. Lee was
one of the more prominent Asian actors in Hollywood when the figure was released in 2000.
Thanks to skypilot77 for the pics!
|
Figure: NYPD Beat Cop (21st Century Toys)
Lookalike: John Goodman (Actor;
Raising Arizona,
The Big
Lebowski,
Fallen)
Probability: High. A figure so politically incorrect that its
quantities were limited to 2000.
Thanks to Kappa Kau for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Oberst Hessler, Heer Panzerkampfgruppe Commander, Ardennes, Dec 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Robert Shaw (Actor; The Battle of the Bulge, From Russia with Love, Jaws)
Probability: 100%. Modelled after his character in Battle of the Bulge. No question.
 
|
Figure: Oberst Max, Senior Staff Officer, Section 3, Project "Adler" 1943 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Robert Duvall (Actor; The Eagle Has Landed, Apocalypse Now, M.A.S.H.)
Probability: 100%. Obviously modelled after his character in The Eagle Has Landed.
 
|
Figure: Oberst Steiner, Mission Commander, Project "Adler" 1943 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Michael Caine (Actor;
The Eagle Has Landed,
Get Carter,
Ipcress File,
Italian Job,
Zulu)
Probability: 100%. The entire figure is a brazen copy of his Eagle
Has Landed character.
Thanks to Joe Jacobs for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Oscar, Operation Phoenix (Dragon)
Lookalike: Zach Grenier (Actor; Maximum Risk, Fight Club)
Probability: Heh heh, doubt it.
|
Figure: Oskar, Panzer Unteroffizier, Das Reich Division,
Scharfuhrer (Dragon)
Lookalike: Robbert Loggia (Actor;
Independence Day, Scarface,
An Officer
and A Gentlemen)
Probability: The scowl is definitely Loggia's, though perhaps
from a
couple of years and pounds ago.
Thanks to Tim Sondrup for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Otto Schulz, North Africa Luftwaffe, Oberleutnant (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Harrison Ford (Actor;
Apocalypse Now,
Force 10 from Navarone,
Star Wars,
Indy)
Probability: 100%. Look at the crooked nose & mouth.
The dimples above the eyebrows and the deep-set eyes. This is a young Ford, no question.
Thanks to Ron H. for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Owl, Night Ops Navy SEAL (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: Brad Pitt (Actor; Fight Club, Spy Game, Seven)
Probability: I'm surprised no one made a Pitt lookalike sooner, but the likeness here is a bit questionable. However, the cheeks are
unmistakably his.
Alternative 1 (not pictured): Martin Kove (Actor; the evil karate instructor in Karate Kid)
Alternative 2: Val Kilmer (Actor; The Saint, Batman Returns, Top Gun)
Thanks to Steve Chester for Kilmer pic & suggestion!
|
Figure: Paddy Ryan, Corporal, WWII Australian (BBI)
Lookalike: Steve McQueen (Actor; The Great Escape, Bullitt, The Sand Pebbles, Magnificent Seven)
Probability: Medium. It is not an immediately obvious likeness, but the nose and mouth are similar
to McQueen's, and the cheek mole helps the resemblance (though its on the other side of the face).
Thanks to Curt for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Palm Beach Lea (Mattel Barbie)
Lookalike: Catherine Zeta Jones (Actress; The Mask of Zorro)
Probability: The cartoony style makes any firm I.D. difficult, but it could certainly pass for her.
Thanks to The Real Kisara World & Colette for the suggestion & pics!
|
Figure: Panzer Commander, WW2 German (21st Century Toys)
Lookalike: Robert Shaw (Actor; Battle of the Bulge, Jaws, Black Sunday)
Probability: High. The headsculpt is very suggestive of Shaw and the figure is outfitted
like his character in Battle of the Bulge.
Thanks to Aaron Samaniego for the suggestion!
|
Figure: Pararescue Jumper, US Air Force, M203 Grenade Fire Support
(Hot Toys)
Lookalike: Colin Farrell (Actor; SWAT, The Recruit, Phonebooth,
Alexander the Great)
Probability: With the spiky hair and
bushy eyebrows, this headsculpt does look a lot like Farrell.
It's odd that Hot Toys did not use this head on their
simultaneously-released SWAT version 2.0 figure. It would have been an opportunity for a free
tie-in with the SWAT movie.
|
Figure: Pearl Harbor Defender (Hasbro)
Lookalike: Ken Wahl (Actor;
Wiseguy,
Fort Apache The Bronx,
Dirty Dozen the Next Mission)
Probability: A definite resemblance, though admittedly Wahl does have a generic
look himself.
Alternative: Patrick Warburton (Actor; The Tick, Seinfeld,
Men In Black II)
Thanks to Mark D. for Wahl and to Jeff Back2DFtr for Warburton!
 |
Figure: Pete Bennet, Modern F-14 Pilot (Dragon)
Lookalike: Daniel Craig (Actor; Tomb Raider)
Probability: Doubt it. The guy is an unknown.
Alternative: Timothy Carhart. Cannot find a single picture of this actor, but any movie buff would recognize him when they saw him. In "Ghostbusters", he played the musician boyfriend of Sigourney Weaver who was called a stiff by Bill Murray.
Alternative 2 (not pictured): Michael Douglas (Actor; Wall Street, Ghost & the Darkness)
Thanks to EdwinL for suggestion!
|
Figure: Peter Keyes, WW2 British Army Commando, Lieutenant (Blue Box Toys)
Lookalike: David Arquette (Actor;
3000 Miles to Graceland,
Eight Legged Freaks,
Scream Trilogy)
Probability: Shockingly high. Arquette is a surprising
choice given his silly comedy background and manufacturers' predilections towards more macho subjects, but the cheeks, slight cleft
in the chin and overall feel of the headsculpt is indeed quite similar to
him!
Thanks to the person who kindly contributed the pics &
suggestions. Please email me your name so that you may be credited properly!
|
Figure: Pieter Altmann, German Fallschirmjager, Normandy '44 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Norman Fell (Actor; Mr. Roper on Three's Company, Pork Chop Hill, Ocean's 11)
Probability: A Mr.Roper action figure? I don't think so. :)
