Mission Impossible 2
This is my kitbashed Mission Impossible "Ethan Hunt". Hot Toys from Hong
Kong put out a version for $60 US, but I didn't think it was worth the
money. I've put together my own that costs about half that and imho
looks about as good.
The head is a Hot Toys mi2 I bought loose for $8. Glasses are from the
Hot Toys glasses set, $5. Jacket is a Barbie Ken "Sweet Talker" leather
jacket sprayed black and dullcoated, $6. Body is a Dragon Jackie Chan
body. This provides my figure an advantage over the Hot Toys version: It
matches Tom Cruise's real life stature a lot better. Hot Toys' figure is
extremely tall compared to most 1/6th figures but in reality Tom Cruise
is a tad short. By using the JC Dragon body, you get something closer to
his actual height. As you can see below, the "Sean Connery" figure
towers over Cruise, which mirrors reality.
Belt and ironed pants are from 21st Century Toys' Armed Terrorist. Shirt
is a random black t-shirt - Any brand will do. HK USP handgun is from
21C's Modern Foreign Weapons III set. Finally, the holster and boots are
from BBI's Carlos figure. These look a bit more like the biker boots
worn in the film than the boots used by Hot Toys.
So, the total cost is around $30-$40 assuming you have to buy every
piece loose. However, if you've been collecting for even a little while,
chances are you'll already have some of these pieces in your collection.
