I would assume that Sgt. Elias was up next to be made. But is there any information (maybe i just missed it) about anyone else from that movie that are going to be made?

 

I think Lerner was confirmed too, no?

Barnes looks ugly as hell, my preorder has been placed. Can't wait to see how Elias turns out.

 

反戰回憶12吋奸角梟雄

HT Movie Masterpiece 《Platoon》 Bob Barnes

推出日期︰明年年第1季圖中為試辦款式，與正式推出的版本或有少許分別。

近年Hot Toys嘅12吋Figure都以忠角為主，Ironman、Batman，加埋李小龍……個個都係名門正派，自然多Fans。不過有正就有邪，正如曹操都有知心友，好似之前《希魔撞正殺人狂》個Landa軍官，Figure化後就極受軍事迷歡迎。為滿足奸角粉絲，HT Movie Masterpiece再添新成員--《殺戮戰場》嘅大奸狗Bob Barnes，軍服100%還原唔在講，連臉上疤痕亦忠實呈現，似足真人咁樣衰！

刀疤面　邪過真人

講起《殺戮戰場》，10個粉絲、9個都會想起主角查理辛，不過數最搶眼嘅角色，反而係奸角Bob Barnes，唔只令演員Tom Berenger勇奪1986年奧斯卡男配角獎，早前外國電影網仲評佢為史上百大奸角之一，可想而知幾咁經典。HT攞到《殺戮戰場》版權後，早就講明會同SideShow一樣，出齊所有角色，Bob Barnes自然榜上有名。就試辦嚟睇，雕頭師Song Hye Hyun嘅功力又再升呢，輪廓、雙眼都貼近真人，驟眼睇，甚至比電影更有邪氣；最重要係廠商放棄以往面相一定要對稱口嘅原則，忠於原著喺右邊臉雕咗大大條疤痕，加埋JC.Hong嘅高水準塗裝，神似度爆燈！

今次用番12吋TrueType Body，關節數量多達30個。

武器太少，玩家要自行增添補品。

頸鏈有齊軍牌及子彈殼，照足美軍打扮，問你服未！

頭盔大咗　Parts唔多

服飾方面，HT以軍事人形起家，要還原越戰時嘅美軍軍服，自然Easy Job，無論剪裁、比例都有上佳水準，唔會有衣不稱身嘅感覺，而且槍袋及軍靴都跟足越戰款式，相信可滿足奄尖嘅軍事迷。若要雞蛋裏挑骨頭，就係為咗遷就戴頭巾後嘅頭形，頭盔設計略嫌大咗啲，戴上後有啲頭大身細，「驗屍官」一定鬧爆！另一樣要鬧係武器太少，只有M16步槍、M1911 A1手槍、手榴彈及刺刀，相比起《殺》系第一款Figure Chris Taylor嘅大推頭Parts，呢隻Bob Barnes明顯唔夠Fight！

頭盔太大頂，戴咗反而怪怪哋，都係頭巾Look順眼。

背囊比例適中，仲掛到鐵鏟等配件，手工確仔細。

心口可以掛5排彈匣，但布料過於挺身，同電影嘅帆布質感有別。

軍靴跟足美軍嘅越戰款式，鞋頭用皮料、筒位用布造，精細到連鞋帶都有。

 

Badass sculpt and uni...those boots are stuff of legend..

 

Hopefully if these sell well, hot toys will see merit in producing more war film tie ins.

Very nice figure, I am going to have to get my Taylor order in before I get tempted to order the set!

 

You cant compare the SST sculpt to this. A far superior figure overall. Another HR for HT.

 

If these sell well I wouldnt mind them throwing in some more characters like Keith David and John C Mcquinley. But what are the honest chances of that happen? :shrug

 

C'mon, this is Hot Toys - these are probably the only 2 Platoon figures we'll see, meanwhile they'll release the mark XXIV Iron Man figure! :doh

 

absolutely awesome figure. I'll echo again what others have said and say this has got to be the closest you get to 1:6 perfection.

 

where'd the hair on his forehead go???

 

overall for me its a very nice figure,but i was hoping hot toys should have put two rifles 1. a xm177e2 based on the real rifle used in nam. 2. colt 653 and 653p based on the rifle used in the movies,...still hoping they'll do it to elias......

 

 

Ordered!!!!!!!

 

I find it astonishing that they do not significantly modify their weapons molds. That isn't like Dragon using the same gas mask bag or cigarette packs for all their figures. It is a significant point of accuracy, whether it is the movie or real life. This means that I buy a figure for all it is worth, but have to throw away the weapons because they are just plain retarded. If their attitude is that it just doesn't matter or it is a way to save $$, well, I have two answers.

If it doesn't matter, why not just re-dye a set of BDU's and sets of MOLLE gear a Vietnam OD from previous figures. In fact, they should just re-use existing uniforms and products for all of their figures since the headsculpt would be the only significant change with which they would have to worry.

If it is to save money, then the cost clearly isn't coming down in any appreciable way. If I paid $40 for a figure, I could throw away inaccurate parts. But for $145-149 the whole thing ought to be damned spot on!

You guys are going to hate me but it looks like the jungle fatigues are wrong. Army issue didn't have epaulets.

(I wore them the first 4 years in the Army).

I know DML's Nate figure had epaulets and buttons but I figured it was a very early version of the uniform that maybe Marines were issued.

I know several foreign country's copy of the jungle fatigues have epaulets (primarily S. America).

 

The 1st and 2nd pattern Tropical Combat uniform did have epaulets. They were removed on later production variants of the 2nd pattern and the 3rd pattern didn't have them at all. All three patterns were issued to US Army soldiers.

 

If these "Platoon" figures do well....what are the chance's Hot Toys go straight in to "Apocalypse Now".....Colonel Kilgore & Captain Willard next to these figure's would make a stunning display....or even...."Full Metal Jacket" figures?.

Wrong carbine !!!

CORRECT machine gun comes with DML Ron or similar :

CORRECT machine gone comes with DML Ron or similar :

This is correct for the movie.

 

Thanks Justin. Good to know. :thanks

Now show me a picture of ANY character from the movie wearing them? :wink

 

Rod,

I don't have screen stills, but Barnes didn't have epaulets in the movie. Taylor's jacket had them in the very last scenes (particularly noticeable as he gets up following the snake & nape strike at the end). This one is an example of a type II jacket.

Elias' heavily altered jacket also has epaulets.

 

Here are a couple of photos which agree with the above quote:

Barnes is wearing a 3rd pattern jacket as evidenced by the extra piece of reinforcing/padding fabric across the shoulders of the jacket.

major.rod - the 3rd pattern uniform was issued starting in 1966 so if the vets you have spoken to were in Vietnam later than 1965-66 they might never have seen/been issued the earlier pattern uniforms.

 

I just have to say that is a killer HS. I won't be getting this figure simply because I MUST resist the temptation to expand into Nam figures. But if that HS every came on a TT without the doo-rag ...
