"English, jive-ass turkey!" or Jules Winnfield '74

[K-Tiger]

Ever since Fogger sent me the Jules Winnfield headsculpt I've wanted to do this one. I could have gone the easy route and tossed this head on a MiB III buck, but I wanted to go a different route. Thanks to Fogger for the head, and especially G.I. Eddie for the SE torso!


And here is what I came up with, Jules Winnfield circa 1974. Been out of the army for a while, and doing all the typical blaxploitation film stuff.

I still think he's a work in progress. I really should paint the shoulder rig, and the thighs could use a less "tactical pants" look. I think I should add a golden soul fist medallion, too. Need to hit-up that belt buckle with some color while I'm about it.

Say what, one more time.


I love the shoes.

 

[K-Tiger]

Eddie dug those too, for some reason.

 

[darthdre758]

Nice.

We need a Travolta head sculpt asap.

 

[NSA]

Nice.

Careful.. from what I hear Travolta would like to sculpt your head.. if you know what I mean.

 

[darthdre758]

I don't get it....but naw...I do.

I just want to make some decent Pulp Fiction figures.

 

[Meddatron]

That's just awesome. That headsculpt rocks!

 

[fogger1138]

Been waiting for you to do this one!

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, it took me a while to get the torso/arms.


Though when I did finally get it, it dawned on me that the blue SW sweater with brown trousers would be even more '70s.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Very Nice!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Gotta fill in those knee-caps and side-ruts in the legs, but otherwise pretty killer. Good colors, too.

 

[K-Tiger]

I wish someone made something useful to put in those leg holes.

 

[MMorelock66]

Holy fuck. Greatest, custom, ever

 

[lancelot]

Doesn't look like a bitch. Good job.

 

[K-Tiger]

Thanks, fellas.


MR, the milliput is drying. I'll touch up the paint sometime this weekend.

 

[Keenan]

Excellent custom/customs.
Haven't tried it yet, but for Travolta I wanted to use the Hulk Tim Roth head.

 

[K-Tiger]

Ah, the one built out of New Sculpt era parts. That could actually work pretty well if the head is scaled right.

 

[Dr Syn]

All is right with the world

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I love the idea of the golden soul fist...maybe use a smaller scaled figures fist?

And a trench would be killer too

 

[Rev Darth]

That is awesome!

 

[xxxx]

jules winnfield for sure.

That was EXACTLY where I was going with the medallion. I was thinking along the lines of M.U.S.C.L.E., but I'll cruise Wally for something easier to acquire.


And a blue sweater + trench variant? I like the sound of it, if someone has an idea on a SW/SE torso compatible trench, and a set of arms. Perhaps something I can cut to 3/4 length?

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

That looks great KT! The shoes are a really nice touch. It is too bad there isn't any pants that are decent articulation and funky. This may have looked pretty good with a Prof. X figure too if the suit was painted. I like the 70's funk though.

 

[K-Tiger]

I'd need to cut the vest off of the X coat, but don't think I didn't consider its potential for a '94 Jules.

If there was a little more detail in the the 25th Shipwreck bell bottoms might have been a contender.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

What about that Avengers Nick Fury?...he has a trench and decent arms...

And there was that five pack Shippy that had way better detailed bell bottoms...


Lastly, M.U.S.C.L.E.s...ahhh, good times

 

[Keenan]

I'll have to check the size. I picked up several of that figure on eBay a few years ago- really cheap.

Soft goods, wasn't it? Should be able to pick him up still, too.

As for Shippy, pics? I doubt I'm gonna go hunting for a 5-pack figure, though.

I hate painting it, but I'm thinking blue sweater with white trousers.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

This is the Shippy I was talking about...v13 if the link doesn't work...

Furys trench is plastic...and why would you have to paint the torso blue?...just get a steel brigade or DG Shippy...both are cheap and have a blue sweater...

 

[fogger1138]

Fury that came in the IM exclusive pack had a soft goods coat, the Avengers one did not.

Paint the trousers, Edward! Painting the tousers white would suuuuuuuck.

It might work. I'll take a gander at it next time I'm in Wally World.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Ah, yes it would...I focused your painting comment on the wrong part...maybe some movie storm shadow legs?...no straps or anything on them and no painting required...

 

[K-Tiger]

They'd make him a good bit taller, at least when paired with the SW lowers.

I actually tried them on mine, but I was having some paint sheen compatability issues on them.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Taller and lankier might be cool...kinda have a noir look to it...like the lack dynomite toon

 

[Fled74]

Oh snap! Awesome work, K-T!

That could work, if the SS thighs weren't quite so muscular. I'd kill for a Black Dynamite head sculpt.

Oh snap! Awesome work, K-T!

Thanks, Fled.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

RoC "The Doctor" legs.

 

[K-Tiger]

Too much gimp strapping on them.

If I really gave a shit something would turn up eventually. I'm not losing any sleep now that the holes are filled and painted.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Not that one...

The one with the dress pants and pointy shoes. Is he CC at that point? Whatever.

[unclassified]

so adventure team..

 

[K-Tiger]

Never occured to take the PoC CC legs. Let me see how they work with the SW lowers.
