[CULT KING] The Drifter

[SilverPointShield]

Jeeze, you weren't kidding about that fast shipping. I just received my set 30 minutes ago.

How does it look?...the same as the prototype shown?

 

[greatlakes6]

Wow, that was fast. Pictures please!

 

[greatlakes6]

Mine arrived today too. Here are a few poor quality iPad shots:

Your Dirty Harry looks like Iminime, so how do you have the yellow bag Yunsil did for Scott's version?

Actually, I had both figures and I put together the best parts from each.

Here are some quick photos of mine that arrived today . Very pleased and compliments well the other 'cowboys' on the shelf

Best figure CK have produced for some time in my opinion.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Sorry! Can't figure out how to flip those pictures the right way round :slap

Thanks for posting the pictures, the figure indeed looks great and the most iconic details of this particular movie character...the coat and hat band...looks spot on.

 

[Mr.E]

I will get some pictures up soon. Overall, I'm very pleased with the figure especially considering I've wanted this character represented in my collection for years. Mission accomplished! Thanks ______________!!

The outfit is great, top notch as expected. There even appears to be a slight weathering/dusting application to the pant cuffs and jacket here and there which is a nice touch. The magnets in the shirt are much appreciated, though they should've used them on the coat as well! We all know those little plastic snaps are prone to breakage, a magnetic closure would've been classier. The coat is iconic as all hell though and I love it.

The boots are the ones we've all seen before from the GBU trio set. Technically they should be a lighter shade, similar if not identical to the boots Clint wore as the MWNN. They could use a dusting as well.

The sculpt is definitely a younger Clint, though not 100% (especially when compared with Trevor's Blondie). The paint quality is very nice, though it is a little pale (but then again, he's a ghost... maybe). I wonder how much the sculpt changed from that unpainted prototype shown last year? I'd be curious to see if any of the top painters repaint this one.

The pistol and the cigar are nice accessories though at this price point, we should've gotten the bullwhip and maybe an un-hatted sculpt (the more Clint the better!).

The body is your average narrow shoulder knockoff with joints that feel a little too stiff and prone to breakage. The hands are garbage though, and I replaced them immediately.

Very pleased to finally have this stranger in my collection though, he's already at home with the rest of my Eastwood figures. I wonder who's next?

 

[Mr.E]

Compared to the prototype figure, the paint is a slight let-down, I must admit.

 

[greatlakes6]

I really like the figure, but agree that the hands need to be changed asap. The paint app always seems to be better on the proto since that is what they are using to draw interest. Also, the boots should be the typical lighter color that Clint wears in all his movies. I do have a question on the pistol and holster. The holster should be the same that Clint wears in all his movies, is it, I am not near the figure right now. Lastly the pistol looks to be the nickel plated Single Action Army that Mordecai picks out. Clint used the longer 7 1/2 Cavalry, but it has the blued steel.

 

[Mr.E]

Holster and belt look good, they even added more bullets than they've done before. The gun should be a blued I believe. It was on the prototype.

Pretty nice fig from CK, from one of my favourite westerns.
I think the sculpt maybe could be a shade darker and or more beard appearance. Same old cheap ass body and hands. Already swapped out the hands, will get him on some extra long foot pegs to bump his height up,( Clint was a big dude) I will also use some fabric stiffener spray on the jacket so it hangs better, when I get time.

I like the looking down look, like when he is in the bar, before he delivers the ' Lot faster then you'll ever live to be ' line.

Using Sideshow Indy's whip.

Jacket looks a good colour match.

 

[Mr.E]

I considered using the long ankle pegs, but _______ company has glued ankle joints into shoes in the past. I don't know if it's worth the risk of swapping them out. Nice pictures though, I've also thought about repainting the HT Indy whip and using that.

 

[greatlakes6]

Yeah, the face needs to be a little darker, more tanned, as Clint was out in the sun all day. The bluing of the pistol and case hardening is a must, although in the 1800's, they did cold bluing vs the hot bluing used today. Today it actually looks blue, back then it was more of a dark blue/black. I have no idea to add that feature to this pistol. Here is a photo of one of my pistols that is blued from the 1800's.

 

[greatlakes6]

I was also a little confused on which direction the Spurs should go. The little piece that sits below the spiked wheel piece, should it be above or below the wheel?

 

[Mr.E]

Above. Facing up.

 

[SilverPointShield]

Send the revolver to me and I will do the blueing and case hardenig effect for you, I plan to do the same to my figure gun when it arrives.

Thank you, I will gladly take you up on that.
