Check out Major Richard on the DID site, I don't think they have official likeness licenses but this is pretty damn close
DID Corporation.
Apologies Jessica I'm not trying to Hijack you post...lol

Wow. The paint application is spectacular. That's what to strive for.

I'm not into the military hobby. Have there been any official Band of Brothers Action figures?

I'm not into the military hobby.

I'm not either but I still admire these.

Has anyone seen Rainman's Audrey Hepburn? His figures start high (at least$900), and all proceeds from this project went to her children's fund.

That Audrey Hepburn figure is heartbreaking!!!

I remember the lead sculptor at Hot Toys (think her name was Yulli?) saying in an interview she wished they could do classic Hollywood figures like her, and I've wanted an HT-style Hepburn ever since.

I only wish $900 was doable for me. Would they accept a kidney, instead? Maybe I could be put on a plasma donation layaway program?

These Rainman figures are limited runs of 25 or less, and usually an announcement is made with photos posted on several forums. There is a brief snapshot in time when you can purchase these and you basically have to be ready at a moment's notice to put in your order. He's done really fabulous work, like his Gary Oldman. It's just stuff I love to look at. How is this possible? :

[Gorn Captain]

Wow, Oldman looks..alive.....

Beautiful work.
Jessica, time to "sharpen" your sculpting skills again. You know you can do it...

[jessica]

I need soooo much practice to even get to this level. I don't know how many years it will take to get there. Sigh. All I can do is admire and aim for that level.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

^ You have come so far in such a short time Jessica. I imagine your work in several years' time will be phenomenal.

[jessica]

Thank you for the words of encouragement, Cat! It means the world to me.

That would certainly be a huge crossover for Hot Toys into the "doll" market.

Given that they have produced Steve McQueen, perhaps we will see more classic Hollywood from HT?
