    I think it looks like Lee Majors. Bravo that it's not cartoony. Thank you BBP.

      Any idea when we might see the body?

      I'm really curious to see how the bionic limbs look.

            Well, just for accuracy, I added up the numbers in this thread regarding likeness.

            23 people think it looks like Lee Majors
            10 people don't see the likeness
            7 people aren't sure

            So 57.5% YES vs. 42.5% NO or MAYBE

              Here is a thought, I don't believe anyone has come up with as of yet. I think the sculpt looks more like the new comic book version of the six million dollar man more then the lee Majors, given the comic versions of steve and oscar bear a little resembance to their tv conterparts.
              What do you all think?

                    Looks like Lee Majors to me. I'm sure it will look more recognizable when painted.

                      Looks good to me. This figure cannot be released fast enough. A must have.

                        That painting of Rod Serling doesn't look like Rod Serling!
                        I mean, maybe Rods nose was crooked and not centered with his mouth, but I doubt it.
                        Expectation is the death of discovery.

                          NICE! I really like him. Great job BBP! I'm actually in favor of keeping the eye brow down because that was more of an expression than something he just walked around with all the time. On figures that is very hard to nail because it is so subjective. I think they made the right move to stay away from that trap. Now...My one question. Is this going to be a flesh tone roto-cast head or one completely painted like the EMCE Pike head was?

                              And that's great by me! I think it looks dead-on (honestly in trying to nitpick this for devi's advocacy, the only thing I could see was the way the hair flips on the front of the comb-over... You gotta dig pretty deep to get that as criticism!)
                              I agree with the "I don't see Ford at all" peeps... Actually a Swat Hondo probably looks more Fordy to me. I think this one is going to be pretty cool.

                                The reason this sculpt mostly dont look right because looking at the hair it was based on Steve in SMDM season-1 --- before his hair got shaggier in the later seasons

                                It also don't have the classic "Spock eye" expression --- which Steve usually has.
                                Yep!!! The eyebrow!!! Thats what seems off about it! Good catch Mike!
