Platoon's Chris Taylor / Charlie Sheen in 1/6 by Hot Toys (4th quarter release)
[4 x images in slideshow above / Full-screen Viewing]
The announcement of Hot Toy's CHRIS TAYLOR 1/6-scaled action figure (from the movie "Platoon") left me both extremely excited, and somewhat fearful. "Excited" because I could have an updated "Charlie Sheen" join up with my "old squad" alongside Defoe and Berenger - aka the trio of Platoon-figures from Sideshow Toys circa 2002 (so I can "retire" the older headsculpt for a possible kitbash by putting the figure in a hawaii-shirt and bermudas, for that "Two and a half Men"-Charlie...or maybe a "Wall Street" bash ~ ima joking of course), which appeals to my team-building "thing" I have for Vietnam War-based 1/6-soldiers (blame watching too movies).
"Fearful" primarily because of "cost", not just being able to afford a single figure, but of the loose parts/gear which I would inevitably get to "upgrade" my "boys" (hey, 1/6th-collecting is a constant "work-in-progress", yeh? :p)...
But no, I'd burden you folks naught with my oft lamented misadventures in cash-strapped toy-collecting ~ so do feel free to CLICK THRU for more images and product breakdowns and description.
