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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Jennifer, Military Police, 101st AB Div, Najaf 7th April 2003 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Jennifer Garner (Actress; Alias, Daredevil)
Probability: 100%. Upon its release, this headsculpt was assaulted by withering
criticism from the sixth scale fan community. We leave it to you, gentle reader, to
decide for yourself if something was lost in translation, but there is no doubt that
Dragon's intent was to make a Jennifer Garner look-alike. The figure's name
and the way the sculpt forcefully captures Ms. Garner's terrifyingly robust
facial structure make that certain.
Thanks to Curt for the suggestion!

Figure: LAPD SWAT Version 2.0 (Hot Toys)
Lookalike: Powers Boothe (Actor; Extreme Prejudice, Red Dawn, Southern Comfort, Tombstone)
Probability: Hmm.. The sculptor captured the exact
hairline, broad robust face, bushy eyebrows, chin, lips, and even Boothe's
trademark steely yet dull-eyed glare. Boothe has also been in many
macho action movies, so he's a good candidate for "onesixth-ification". On
the other hand, he is far from a household name, and it is possible that
this is a Colin Farrell look-alike with the hair removed to allow the head
to fit into a helmet.
|
Figure: Lefty McGill, Private First Class, US Army Bazooka (BBI)
Lookalike: Leonardo DiCaprio (Actor; Gangs of New York, Romeo & Juliet, Titanic)
Probability: Leo! Look at the mouth, eyes, and broad face, not to
mention the way the brow furrows and the bags under the eyes.
You can finally finish your What's Eating Gilbert Grape diorama!
Thanks to Ranger Au for the suggestion & pics!
|
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Raider, NSCT (Naval Security Coordination Team), Navy SEAL (Dragon)
Lookalike: Colin Farrell (Actor; SWAT, Tigerland, American Outlaws, Alexander the Great)
Probability: Extremely high. The sculpt seems a tad chubby in the
face, but the mouth, nose and eyebrows are very suggestive of Farrell.
This headsculpt was also included in BBI's limited edition Merit exclusive
'Metro SWAT' figure, which is conspicuous given that Farrell starred in a
SWAT film.
|
Figure: Red Parker, Corporal, US Army Mortar, WW2 (BBI)
Lookalike: John Wayne (Actor; The Longest Day, The Green Berets, How
The West Was Won)
Probability: 100%.
|
Figure: Sheriff Jim (Yamato)
Lookalike: John Wayne (Actor; Cahill US Marshall, Rio Lobo, The Green Berets, The Shootist)
Probability: 100%.
Thanks to RTSolle, M.Pimentel and everyone else who made
this suggestion, and RTSolle for the pix as well!

Figure: Tab, Staff Sergeant, 101st Airborne NCO 327th Glider Infantry Regiment (Dragon)
Lookalike: Barry Pepper (Actor; Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers, Enemy of the State)
Probability: Extremely high.
|
Figure: Trident, Boarding Unit, US Navy Seal Team 8 (BBI)
Lookalike: Brad Pitt (Actor; 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, Ocean's 11, Se7en, Troy)
Probability: 100%. Compare this against BBI's old "Owl" Night Ops SEAL figure to
see how far the quality of sculpting & painting has advanced in a few short years. Pretty amazing.
Thanks to SilverA4 for the suggestion!
|
Figure: US Army Radio Operator, World War II (BBI)
Lookalike: Peter O'Meara (Actor; Band of Brothers)
Probability: High. O'Meara won quite a bit of acclaim for his protrayal of the cowardly "Lieutenant Dike" in
Band of Brothers. The headsculpt nicely recreates his very broad face.
Thanks to Moneyshot for the suggestion
|
Figure: Volkmar, Luftwaffe Pz-Gren. MG34 Gunner, HG Panzer-Div (Gefreiter) Anzio 1944 (Dragon)
Lookalike: Treat Williams (Actor; Deep Rising, The Substitute 2-4, The Phantom)
Probability: Medium-high. The square jaw, hairline, and big ears are suggestive, but I don't think
Williams has ever had such a manevolent expression in any movie he has made.
