Celebrity look-a-likes!

Tim 121RVC · 11-02-2020, 10:56 AM

I think we've all seen a G.I.Joe character, figure or card art once and thought: hey, he looks just like......
That's exactly what this thread is about. I have several figures which remind me of celebrities. Some more than others, so admittedly, you might not always see what I see or agree with me, but that's actually what I'm curious about. I'd also like to know if you have some figures yourself that remind you of celebrities? Please share!

Here goes, I'll start with probably one of the most common comparisons that are made:

Outback and Chuck Norris!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, a comparison that inspired me to create this topic:

Zap v2 and a combination of John Astin and Raul Julia. They both played Gomez Addams, I used the Zap v2 head to make my Gomez Addams custom.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one has a little difference in the moustache, but I still think they look alike:

Recondo and Jesse Venture (as in Predator)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jessy Ventura even has second Joe that kinda looks like him:

Major Altitude and Jessy Venture with hair.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another one:

Sci-Fi v2 did always remind me of Keanu Reeves!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one is also one of my earliest lookalike memories:

Grunt and Hugo Weaving.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of favorite childhood actors:

Clutch and Bud Spencer!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as I saw this guy in The Rock, I related him to G.I.Joe:

Payload and David Morse.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one might take a little more imagination:

Downtown and Owen Wilson.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of favorite look-a-likes:

Battle Corps Muskrat and William Dafoe!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last, but not least, a comparison based on card art:

Roadblock and Delroy Lindo!

I don't mean to keep repeating myself since I just posted this in the Cesspool thread, but if this thread is for the broader topic of celebrity lookalikes, it more properly belongs here.

Then of course we have the acknowledged inspirations:

That last one is NBC journalist Mike Leonard, for the young'uns out there who may not recognize him.

The head used for FSS windmill looks like the Florida head football coach Dan Mullin. Sorry but I'm no good with photoshop.

I think the Clark Gable/Zap resemblance is even better with the 25th version

I think 50th Falcon looks like Clive Owen.

The club Blaster and FSS ???? (Ghost rider) head looks like Harry Shearer.

FSS Sure Fire looks like David Lane from the collectors club. Oh wait...... LOL

25th Matt Trakker and Robert Shaw from “Battle of the Bulge”

“Sing! Louder!!”
