Terry
Gilliam is among my favorite film makers and biggest visual influences.
The cinematic realms of his films are rich with dystopian, baroque, and
anachronistic details. His subject matter often deals with dream
like fantasy and real world bleakness with the driving quest for freedom. The films are also often filled
with a his unique sense of humor. If you are not familiar with his films you
really should watch a few.

Sam Lowry
-Brazil (1985)
Actor & Gilliam
regular, Jonathan Pryce, plays Sam comes completed in his "Dream Armor"
that he uses in his escapist fantasies where he attempts to save the
beautiful maiden from the "Techno-Samurai". The figure features rich
details and shades of metallic paints from light blues to silver. The
real showcase of the figure are the working glider wings that actually
fold and retract, as in the film, and were hand made feather by feather.

Harry Tuttle - Brazil (1985)
Robert DeNiro plays
Harry Tuttle in a brief but very memorable role as a former government
employee who now serves as a renegade air conditioning repairman free of
the bureaucratic paper work taking part in covert unapproved repairs.
Every detail of the figure was meticulously recreated; from the pouches,
chains, phones, luger pistol, & tools that abound on his belt.

Jack Lint
-Brazil (1985)
[spoiler]
Fellow Monty Python
alum, Michael Palin, plays Harry's "friend" and fellow government worker
Jack Lint. He appears as he does from the bizarre and surreal scene from
the end of the film where Sam is strapped to a table surround by
frightening tools and is about to be tortured by a disturbing speechless
man in labcoat and cupie doll mask.

Baron
Munchausen -The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
(1988)
John Neville portrays the world's greatest
teller of tall tales. He displays his trade mark large nose,
military hat, and embroidered jacket.
|
James Cole
- 12 Monkeys (1995)
Bruce Willis plays
James Cole, a man send back from a nightmarish dystopian future to piece
the puzzle of what made the future so bad. The figure shows Cole in his
environmental suit that he wears to collect specimens from the New York
of the past. Each component was painstakingly recreated to movie
accurate.

The iconic hitman as portrayed Chow Yun-Fat in the
