Clint Eastwood Legacy Figure Collection | Inside Look

Clint Eastwood he's always stood out through time classic era of film and Cinema I think Clint Eastwood characters embody different versions of strength and strength in all its different forms [Music] I don't think anyone can negate a truly Grand Larger than Life Legacy that Clint Eastwood has had what we created with him has to do justice to those characters the global fan Community holds in such high regard [Music] it's exciting because it's new to me it's fun to be part of it in a small way he became another member of the creative team that was genesising all these product incarnations this is really the first time Clint is embarking on and engaging in a process like this no one's ever been awarded the opportunity to kind of represent Clint Eastwood in this manner it was a pressure to perform this has to be pretty spot-on has a different one scene that they can think of if you think of Dirty Harry if you think of Blondie if you think of the preacher and so you just got to make that conscious decision this is the scene that I want this is the Clint that I want he's iconic for a reason and it was very fun to sculpt 10 was caricature and the other 90 percent was realistic the spirit of Clint Eastwood might be felt in that 10 caricature that stylization you know Dirty Harry and Blondie are you know obviously the same person but they're two different characters it's not like you can use the same portrait from one to the other there's all these nuances and character that he as an actor is putting into two different roles there's so many iterations of the movies you can get too much saturation too much desaturation so you got to find the common ground a good representation of skin tone shading everything I mean everything comes into consideration now we're paying each film homage by adding the environments to the top base where he's standing but in terms of looking at these as through Legacy pieces we wanted to kind of Step that back keep it very simple and classy and added that beautiful gold signature to the front of every single one of them when you see the amount of work and effort and the thought that it's going into it I'm amazed this is as accurate as it is I'm in the boots everything the detail is unbelievable a lot more detail than we had in the movie [Laughter] [Music] Blondie was a lot of layers his leather worked his shirt he has a vest on with like a sheep's wool on the inside with Dirty Harry we have some movement as costumers we have to make sure that movement is carrying through on a quarter scale piece I really love any kind of menswear and I got to do everything the Blazer the trouser the shirt the vest we do pattern drafting ourselves so we have to really dissect each and every little aspect of the garments we're using powders paint we're dry brushing dipping clothes and water and dye and just kind of everything we could do all the tools that we could utilize hundreds of man hours and dozens of very talented artists had their hands in creating these pieces spanning the globe part of our sixth scale team works out of Korea and they are incredibly talented the aspect of what comes through is not just their craftsmanship but is also their reverence for the material we've come to expect a life-life likeness that's going to be instantly recognizable getting that scowl of Dirty Harry just right because you don't want them just blank face you want to give them that attitude he's got a presence to him and you want to make sure you capture that within that scale these projects have extended Beyond just making something look right we want to honor truly the Legacy that this comes from this comes off so it grows out of this okay and that's like so that's just to improve it out yeah the holsters and everything a little smaller than I use but a bit pretty good and boom you got a very good there it is any chance of taking one of those with me absolutely yeah being able to work so closely with Clint Eastwood himself who's been such a iconic figurehead in the industry and being able to recreate something that stirred emotion in him that for me made it all worthwhile connected to so many of us at Sideshow in a deeply personal way that love and that passion is something we're all drawing from and we all are really really adamant about making the best figures that we can it was very fulfilling to see how happy he was with the pieces putting our all into this was for him for what he's given us all these years I hope that people can see them and love them and enjoy them and truly feel that it represents their love of these characters and of these movies that are going to last the test of time
