John Wayne Rooster Cogburn

Rainman told me he likes making old movie characters... I wish after a Charlie Chaplin, maybe he'd like to do Buster Keaton, or say Groucho Marx...

He made a Charlie Chaplin already.

He made a Charlie Chaplin already.

I know, thats why I said 'after'...

 

[BB&WSF]

A Daniel Plainview?

Really hope we get to see him this year ray:

Imagine the Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver and The Driver from Drive on the same shelf. Two Real Heroes! Pure Insanity! :rock

WORD. That's probably my favorite western of them all right there.

"Now that you've called me by name." *bang*

 

[EdgarFigaro]

Good man! It's my favorite western as well but it most of the time appears to overshadowed by GBU in the collectors community :monkey2

 

[karamazov80]

I understand that, because Clint is such an icon. Bronson ain't Clint. But Henry Fonda's turn is just mind-blowing. Plus, Once Upon a Time probably has the greatest opening scene of any movie, ever. And taken as a whole, I think Once Upon a Time is really the superior film. But I couldn't fault anyone for choosing TGTBATU over this one. They are both top notch films.

 

[EdgarFigaro]

Oh yeah I don't mean to bash or talk down GBU, I really love both films. Just seems to me it tends to get the attention over OUATITW most of the time. See a lot more GBU customs too etc.

Would just be cool to see these guys for once, as you say, especially Fonda as Frank

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I think a Frank custom would be sufficient for me. I wouldn't even need a Harmonica to pose next to him

 

[EdgarFigaro]

I think I may actually want him most in his introduction scene outfit with the long coat. One of the most perfectly shot scenes in movies in general if you ask me :lecture

 

[karamazov80]

Even though the characters weren't very significant, and surely wouldn't be worth Rainman's attention (apart from Harmonica), I would love to have a diorama of this shot:

"You brought two too many."--bad ass quote of the day.

My dream Rainman figure:

 

[karamazov80]

Y'know who would really be the biggest western grail of mine, though?

Liberty Valence. Of "The Man Who Shot. . ." fame. I'm sure there aren't many on the boards here who would share my enthusiasm, but there should be!

Not so much him, but Jimmy Stewart's character. Or any Jimmy Stewart for that matter. Rear Window, Harvey, or IAWL would be epic. Imagine the exclusive possibilities!

 

[karamazov80]

It's a Wonderful Life would be the most iconic Stewart look to me. Any Stewart would definitely be in line with Rainman's own preference for taking on truly iconic Hollywood types with his choices of Audrey Hepburn, Chaplin, Clint Eastwood, etc.

Rear Window would be awesome if he could get the wheelchair down. I'm a Jimmy Stewart fan, but for some reason he's not someone I'm aching to have a figure for. Bogart and Lee Marvin, yes.
