Title: Favorite movie or TV character?
Post by: Necros on September 04, 2012, 10:04:42 PM
If you could pick just 1 character from any western movie or TV show, or a historical figure, that you'd love to see turned into a miniature, who would it be? :)

John Wesley Hardin. Just because no one has done a figure of him before as far as I know.

Either a sprinting John Colter with nothing but a beaded blanket and broken spear or Liver eatin Johnson in a bearskin trail coat.

Harley Stone, played by Rutger Hauer, from the 1992 British Sci-Fi Horror film "Split Second". A cigar-smoking, cynical, badass rogue cop with a bad attitude quippin endless one-liners on the streets of a submerged future london, hunting a mysterious killer that seems to have a conection to the disappearance of his partner years ago.

Best scene: When he is in his captain's office getting reprimanded for his behaviour, just before he leaves he just grabs a handful of the captain't cigars from a box on the desk without comment leaving the boss fuming but frozen in anger at his subordinate :)

Highly recommended film btw :D

Bohannon - Gun slinger seeking justice?

Is there a list of movie/t.v characters already made in to minis, I started making a list a while ago and have started collecting a few of them.

Wild west ones I've seen are Good the Bad and the Ugly and True Grit.

Brigade has the Swede (I think that's what he is?) and Northstar/Artizan had the LE Lone Ranger. Ebob did a Man With No Name as well. Artizan does Sharon Stone's character from The Quick & The Dead.

I think that is one of the difficulties I've had finding them, for obvious reasons companies can't say exactly who they are although most of the time it's easy enough to figure it out, sometimes you just can't see what's staring you in the face Bohannon/Swede.

As for an Indian Scout and a masked avenger I did these as a commission a while ago, not sure if they are going to be commercially available though.

lovely figures tidyfiguremaker I suppose that's the difference between having to say I'd love to see this miniature to being able to make the the exact miniature you want. What sort of miniatures do you make for yourself?

There's also a decent Elam Ferguson in their 'Western Railroad Workers' pack ;)

I'd like to see all the main characters from Silverado (along with many of the above suggestions)

For me, Paladin from Have Gun, Will Travel without question is my #1 pick since its my favorite show.

Runner up is Jim West from Wild, Wild, West. The Robert Conrad version, not the whateverthehell version Will Smith did.

Then Yul Brenner in the Magnificent Seven.

Been awhile since I looked but at least two Old Movie "not-Rooster Cogburn" figures and possibly one complete set of the new movie characters...

Ack, now to try and recall where...

What about one of each? Western movie - Jeremiah Johnson; TV show - Mr Ed, the talking horse; Historical figure - Ho Chi Min
