Sean's Zeus
« on: January 28, 2010, 01:40:07 PM »
I consider this a "Special Appearance"  Our Beano gets another action figure.  First Alec Trevelyan/006, then Boromir and now Zeus:

Sable,

Wasn't there also a figure for Sharpe?

There were Sharpe figures, Sandi, but not Action Figures - i.e. moveable parts.  They were mostly of the 2" tall painted tin soldier variety.

actually there WAS an action figure of a 95th Rifleman named " Dick". He was an Action Man toy which is the British version of G.I. Joe here in the US. I even reminded an English friend of mine this past christmas and I had a link but the link is gone now. He was very rare.

You can find "Dick" on Ebay now and then, but he doesn't look anything like our Sharpe.

Interesting about the 12" Sharpes.  The customized one has a passing resemblence, but the Cotswold one - from what I can see, has none.

I've seen good pics of the "soldier of the 95th" - the one named Dick and it's very well done, but isn't Sean.

A while ago, I linked a bust of "an office of the 95th" - which had an uncanny resemblance.  LoL... but I bet they didn't have the rights to call it "Sharpe"  :P

Well, I'm glad my memory is still functional!!  I'm not sure whether it was on Ebay that I saw this -- I think it might have been on TMB.

I wonder if it's anatomically correct?

Well, if the rest of him is as ugly as his head, I really don't want to see it .....  :whiteflag:

That one looks cross-eyed - and ugly. 

We should make one ourselves.  Smiling - maybe that little smirk . . .

I can give it a whirl - but I need to get my classes under control first.
