Hot Toys - MMS 118 Inglourious Basterds - Aldo Raine Specs & Pics

[Deckard]

With Hot Toys, how close does the final product come to these initial pictures? How close will the final paint apps get to the shots in the gallery? (Pardon my Hot Toys ignorance. I'm a 1:4 scale guy...)

You tell me.

You tell me.

That looks nothing like Brad Pitt.

 

[Buttmunch]

Pretty much what you see in the proto is what you'll get. HT is very good at that. No green zombies here!

I've never bought anything from Hot Toys, but this looks so realistic that I did a double take after realizing that it wasn't an actual picture of Brad Pitt.

Hot Toys has come a long way with factory paint apps vs. prototype paint app in such a short time span (late 2008 to now). I think a good example would be their just-released Blade figure.

Take a look at the prototype photos from HT:

And compare them with the final figure. Photos from member 'OMG':

I haven't seen a 1/4 scale PF or comiquette that comes close to that realism.

Lots of pics from Tommy Richardson. I think he likes this figure a lot because he's taken a ton of photos of it.

Below is just a small sampling. To see all the photos, go here: https://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/tommgarden

He looks too sad, i can't get into the figure.

 

[breakersrevenge]

Was his cap THAT big?

Was his cap THAT big?

It does look pretty big actually. I doubt anyone will ever pose it with hat anyway.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Cap does look a little large, but has to be to accomodate that hair, so no biggie. Plus, as Roy said, doubt anyone will display him with it.


Wow.

This one is amazing:

Isn't the writing on the wrong side of his rifle though?

 

[plasmid303]

Isn't the writing on the wrong side of his rifle though?

Yes, sorta. It's on the correct side, but It's upside down. Not a big deal, but still odd.

 

[dominishin]

The film shows that it's on the other side too.

It's possible the movie poster version is edited to show 'Inglorious Basterds' right side up. Promo stuff and what's in the actual movie can vary sometimes.

 

[plasmid303]

On second examination. Aldo's rifle does have the inscription on the other side and is oriented like the figure's gun. Question is, is the name on both sides of the rifle?

 

[Centrocal]

These pics look pretty good

I notice the sculpt looks the best when its not facing directly at the camera, cause it looks like hes caught off guard. But when its turned away, seems like he's deep in thought and focused on what he's doing. Its gonna take some skill to get a good shot with this figure

 

[Hecubus]

Looks great in that shot

 

[Mr.Enigma]

Aside from the writing on the rifle, does anyone else see that the rifle Aldo comes with is not the same one he has in the movie?

 

[Sachiel]

Looking at the screencap. They are different.

 

[Centrocal]

Aldo was using a German Karabiner 98k rifle in the movie. The figure is using an M1 Garand ( Jokers rifle ) Obviously its cheaper for Hot Toys to re use the same gun

Karabiner

M1 Garand

 

[blakus939]

You sure at one point he didnt have a garand in the movie? He's got one right there in the promo poster, you can tell by the buttplate trapdoor and the trigger gaurd/safety

 

[dominishin]

Don't believe so, just checked it out.

That darn poster screwed everything up!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Yeh plasmid, that's what I was on about. Different side in the film and upside down going by the poster.

Ah well, gotta praise HT for including that detail anyway.
