Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

Wow... I believe I posted a while ago in the Cult King Young Capo thread what would happen to me if all these characters were to be made. I too would want the heads sculpted with necks, I hate it when they're without necks. That ruined my HT Superman! I would probably have to get them all and I would probably also be in for any of the outfits. Although I must say for reasons I do not have to tell why that I would be very, and I mean VERY disappointed if the tuxedo yet again would be the choice to make.:dunno

The pattern of the tie between the meeting with Sollozzo and meeting with Luca looks completely different, can't be the same one.

I can imagine most people here advice against going with The talk with Michael outfit because the Don has gotten old there, and it is shortly before his death nonetheless. I would definitely be interested in that outfit if an older Brando Vito would be offered.

I really wish for the The Don Is Dead outfit (the attempted assassination of the Don) to be made, second choice is the Meeting with Sollozzo/Meeting with Luca and then the Meeting with the heads of The Five Families, definitely since that black suit has a peak lapel.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

Honestly I'd love the talk with Michael outfit, add his grey sweater cardigan laying on his chair (see photo). Don is dead is awesome too, so unique and a great Scene, the whole outfit screams the 1940s New York style and vibe.

The iconic Tux has been done before, twice, enterbay's wasn't good IMO. Hot toy's attempt was nice but it had so many frustrating factors. I can see why some people would not agree with that being made sense like I said, it was done already, not perfect, but some people may not want to pay a couple hundred for the same outfit if they accept or like the hot toys or enterbay. Personally, I think it's right up Yunsil's alley, and that opening scene and the other scenes that take place during the wedding are to the magority of film fans, Vito's best. When Most hear the name Vito Corleone they picture him in the dimly lit office, in his Tuxedo. having that look perfected in figure form would be amazing.

Like I already said, I'm down for anything.
Hope we can all come to an agreement.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

I guess most collectors want what is the most iconic for the individual characters and still place the different characters together even though they are from different scenes or films. What I'm talking about is people placing Don Vito in tuxedo and Don Michael in black three piece suit or silver/grey (GF2) suit together because that's the most memorable look of the characters. Primarily I am not really like that as I rather display a figure that relates to the rest of the characters.

Actually, in a way, the Don Is Dead outfit is really the more significant scene and actually coherent to the storyline, the wedding scene is not really important to the story of the film. The mentioned overcoat with hat look alone is also quite iconic to me.
Yes. Thinking about it again, there are advantages and disadvantages between the Talk with Michael grey cardigan outfit, and the others against the Don Is Dead overcoat outfit. With the tux, cardigan and meeting outfits he is memorable sitting in chairs, the Don Is Dead outfit is different in that respect as this is where he is not memorable sitting in a chair. However that look works for running and lying down which is much, much more fun IMO.

Also, another reason why I don't want the tux is because it is completely impersonal and not just associated with The Godfather. As mentioned on the previous page about the black three piece suit, it has to be worth the money afterall.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

I see where you're coming from Flawinqt, But I disagree on the wedding scene not being important to the main story. Every scene beautifully and perfectly blends together, everything adds to the story, even if it's just the little things. That's one of the reasons why This film is widely considered one of the best, if not the best movie of all time, every scene is great! The Don getting shot is a very important scene, and I respect your opinion and preference of it. But it's nowhere near as long or widely remembered as the wedding scene, that's what makes it "Iconic". while the Don is dead is iconic to ME, along with many others including you, It has such a short amount of screen time most people don't think of it right away when picturing Vito in their mind. I actually would LOVE the Don is dead figure, id actually prefer it Over the tux. I love the long wool coat and 1940s working man button down shirt, tie, and slacks. but I fully support the tux choice and the people who want it, because of the love I have for the character and movie. I have preferences like everyone but in the end I'll take anything, because I love them all. I think Rocco asked Yunsil about the Tux if I'm not mistaken. So that's probably what we'll get. I know you said you won't be interested if that's the case, but maybe ya wanna reconsider... Being that this might be the only high end custom quality Don Vito Brando version we will get in a long time.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

The wedding scene tux is by far the most iconic to me, but has already been done numerous times. But Yunsil would knock it out of the park.

superman the movie jor-el, please.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

Yeah Mnl, I will definitely think about it. However I already got the Vito head with clothing set this year, and honestly I really don't see what could be improved.
I absolutely love long wool coats myself and the 1940's alone! I always prefer a casual dressed up look. Even if I will for whatever reason think the tux is that much more improved then it will still be a shame, yes a shame to ignore the opportunity to get something new, unique and worth the money! Maybe it would be possible to get an alternate outfit? What do you people think about that?
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

Ok, so should we go with the trench coat/shooting scene? I need to fill out a form for the tailor with info, so guys post the suit you want most.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

yes, I can sculpt a Super Dad version of Marlon after I'm done with this line :)
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

Once you have nailed a sculpt, you ca go anywhere with it...
De Niro for example; movies such as Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, Heat, etc...

I would be interested in Jor El too.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

IMO the Tuxedo really should be the last outfit to be made now. Yes, I'd even take what he is wearing during the talk with Michael before that, even though this is many years later on in the story and would technically require an alternate head. I vote for the Attempted Assassination outfit, second choice is the Meeting with the heads of the Five Families.
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

Hey Sculptor, i want this most, this is my vote.
Long grey wool coat.
Grey blazer/jacket underneath coat.
A kind of pale yellow button down shirt.
Striped tie, see photos for exact colors and design.
Lighter grey slacks.
I added pics below for reference, you can see in great detail the designs and makes of the clothes. A few colored photos to display accuracy. Yunsil could always watch the scene to further study the details.

Great pic above^can easily see length of coat, pants, shape of tie and collar.

see above^ he wears a grey blazer/jacket underneath the long coat, to the right, a man is holding the long coat.

It is most likely that the blazer/jacket pictured above^ during the meeting with Sollozzo is the same as the one he wears under his coat when getting shot a few days later.

Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor

Honestly I'll go with any outfit!, Tux included.
Rocco, great Work! Seriously. I think this is my favorite out of what you've done so far. Great likeness and you say you're not done... That just means it'll be even more amazing in the near future. Wow, I'm so excited
 
Re: Young Don Vito by Sculptor
