Has anybody done a mini that would suit "Roland The Gunslinger" from the Stephen King Dark Tower series?

I want to make one, but not if it's already been done well.

The figure second from the right in the picture below (from Black Scorpion) certainly seems inspired by him, but the 'stache rather kills the likeness. At least I think he has a moustache, kind of hard to tell from that picture though.

I didn't think Roland wore a duster?

My one wont, anyway

I'm just going by the artwork, really. Most drawings seem to depict him in a windblown duster.

Don't forget to sculpt his purse, and that horn thingy from the VERY DISAPPOINTING END OF THE CRAPPY LAST BOOK

Luckily I didn't get that far. I think I only got to the bit with Blain the Pain

I just liked the idea of a rangey, dusty old Gunslinger.

Stop now, go no further. Benefit from my pain.

I'd love to see you do one. I had no idea who Roland was(never read the books) but I googled him and all the pictures look like an ordinary gunslinger so any of the Black Scorpion Tombstone figure in dusters could do.

Got to have a couple of fingers missing though, and Pete is right, avoid the last couple of books, Stephen King claims to despise metafiction (appearing in own books) but does exactly that. After years of waiting, the ending was indulgent, insulting and a complete cop-out. Apparently it had to end that way.
