Wez and / or Lord Humungous > Gyro Captain
Gyro Captain appears in two films. Include the gyrocopter for the win.
You know, I dont think that they consider that to be true. The character in Thunderdome is technically different person isnt he?

Yes different characters who happened to fly. I prefer the Gyro Captain to Jedediah but I am not really a fan of Thunderdome, especially after The Road Warrior. Thunderdome is the Return of the Jedi to Road Warrior's Empire Strikes Back.
Road Warrior is the Raiders of the franchise.
Thunderdome is maybe Last Crusade, verging on KOTCS.

Toecutter figure for me.
Keays-Byrne didn't need any fancy makeup or costume to look incredibly intimidating in the first MM film.
Maybe include a bonus sculpt, where his eyes are popping out of his head.

I didn't know that! I just assumed it was the same character. Wow.
- Spence is one of three actors in the Mad Max series to play two separate and distinct characters, e.g. Gyro Captain / Jedediah. The others are Hugh Keays-Byrne (Toecutter in Mad Max / Immortan Joe in Mad Max: Fury Road) and Max Fairchild (Benno in Mad Max / Broken Victim in Mad Max 2)
I never understood the hate Thunderdome gets. Its hard to recapture magic like TRW or ESB, so sequels are always the lesser.
But as far as they go , MMBT was a decent film, toned down too much obviously, and the lack of a serious car chase really hurts it…
I actually rate MMBT above the original MM which to me id a pretty hokey 70’s exploitation type film, thats had a few good scenes and some great performances….other than that, its kinda VERY 70’s film making.
But then again, I am a huge TLC fan, never understood the hate that got either. I personally think TOD is a pretty bad film, with terrible effects (even for that time) and scenes that are as laughable as KOTCS….( the whole raft/plane nonsense is right up there with the Fridge to me)

I have to admit I'll always have a fondness for Beyond Thunderdome too. It has a slightly weary feel in places and I found the 'lost tribe' slightly irritating, but Miller's rich imagination is still there in adundance throughout the picture. From the imaginative characters to the final flight over the post apocalyptic Sydney, visually it is quite stunning in places. For me though, Road Warrior is Miller's Magnum Opus. It's a genre defining film, as Blade Runner was to cyber punk. Gibson has only 19 lines of dialogue (from memory) but somehow he still manages to give an incredibly expressive performance. The action, suspense and style (as a sci-fi film) was groundbreaking for its time.

Still no in-hand pics... no reviews...
Not a popular item? Or Kit got these really early.

There were two new photos "from a local seller" posted by Jesse Lo on One Sixth Republic, but they don't add much:

I just noticed, looking at the two photos of Joe I saved for hair reference, he had a scarf.
The figure doesn't have one, but it should be an easy fix.
In unfiltered photos it looks to the be the same light sand colour as the rest of his clothing.

Very excited for this figure. It could be just the pictures; the paint looks flat. With some paint touch-ups to bring some depth this looks to be a fantastic figure. I've got a week, at the earliest.

Just because it's not seen a lot doesn't mean it's not a part of the costume. Regardless it's easy to fix, just get similar material and it's done.

I'm really looking forward to receiving this one.
The tracking for him stalled for a few more days than usual, which was odd because 4PX, who handle the first part of the delivery, have been pretty much clockwork in their regularity.
Turns out it was just the tracking that had stalled, not the parcel itself, because the system updated with the missing entries this morning.
Joe's airborne!
