There's something about the blend of cartoon proportions and realistic styling on his head that makes the Duke look suuuuuuper creepy. Neat, though.

I'll say it for you: Leonard Nimoy ("Mr Spock") -meets- Sonny Chiba. ;D zozo-mag There's something about the blend of cartoon proportions and realistic styling on his head that makes the Duke look suuuuuuper creepy. Neat, though. |

Longest running Manga still in publication (since 1969).
Not my kind of thing but, but this is cool! Looks spot on.
I always thought of him as something like a James Bond hit man.

He IS a hit-man. No one knows his true identity,
and so they refer to him as Golgo 13.
I've seen the anime movie and I was impressed
with how well this character is conveyed.
Then I saw an old live-action movie version
("Golgo 13: Kowloon Assignment")
starring Sonny Chiba as "Golgo 13"... he did a
terrific job bringing the character to life.

It nice that his M16 can be dismantle to put inside the casing but quite surprising that he does not comes with a handgun.

I still like the Hot Toys version better even though its more cartoony. This is more like trying to make it look more realistic, but something looks off to me in his face. Still gonna get it!

the rifle is wrong though... the magazine isnt quite the right shape, its a tad too short and the wrong shape, the lower reciever of the rifle has incorrect porportions. I lived for many years with that rilfe in my hands and that M-16A2 HBAR isnt right, close but no cigar.

I vaguely remember him ever using a handgun, or I may have
overlooked it. I only saw the OVA and the Sonny Chiba rendition,
if there was ever an episodic anime series about Golgo 13
I've never seen it.

I think I remember a scene where he shot someone off the back of a horse using a MAC-10.. I dont remember any pistol action but It would be illogical for Golgo not to be good with a pistol, Im sure hes used one in some scene or another.

One thing I have to give Fewture credit on with this is the cut of the pants. Seriously, I wish I had pants that were that well fitted!
