Thinking of Being an Expendable for Halloween?

Craig / / 2010, Expendables

Cinema Blend advises against dressing up for Halloween as some movie characters.  Here’s what they say if you’re thinking of going as one of The Expendables…

Because: The black flak jacket/black beret look is pretty cool, and it’s always fun to carry around fake weapons on Halloween, but anybody without an Adonis body will look ridiculous in that getup, and no offense, but I just don’t feel like you’re at Statham muscle level right now.

If you absolutely must: Be Rourke, wear a stupid hat, cry into a mirror about your days in Bosnia all night.

Here’s their advice for other movie characters.

Sly and His Toys

SZoner, Hideo is back with some cool new photos of Sly in Japan. Take it away, Hideo:

  • Hi, Craig! It’s HIDEO!
  • I found an interesting interview of SLY.

Please enjoy!

    • P.S. I translated those articles for English speaking persons. But, my English is very poor. Sorry. You can correct my wrong English, please. Take care!

    -About Barney Ross

    “The figure released before was well-done, and this Barney Ross is well-done, too!
    It becomes better and better, unbelievable! By the way, how about the tattoo? “

    （Costume unclothed and Sly saw tattoo.）

    “Wow! It is the very movie image. “

    -Watching Rocky3 figure

    “This is a figure of Rocky 3, I have this one! “

    （Comparing a figure of Rocky balboa with Barney Ross）
    “Uuum, I get old, the figure gets old. “

    （Toward the staff）
    “Hey! Watch, guys! The position of Barney’s hairline is higher than Rocky!
    Oh, my god! Thank you, HOT TOYS! For such a real reproduction!”

    -About HOT TOYS

    “Thank you for making wonderful figures of Rocky, Rambo, and this “The
    Expendables”. I think HOT TOYS is a world’s best toymaker.”

    -About The Expendables

    “I wrote the script, supervised it, and played the leading part. And
    this time, I was able to act with my wonderful friends.
    I am sure it is the best movie of my works, and I want to say to Japanese fans, “please
    enjoy”. And I thank for HOT TOYS having done splendid support that released
    this figure.”

    -The time limit for interview was planned until here, but Sly was satisfied with the figure of Barney, and continued talking more.

    ” I have one idea. I want to propose HOT TOYS, if you can make products with all these quality, to make costumes and replicas of the prop on 1/1 scales! One more. If a figure of Barney is completed, I will sign ten figures and will exhibit at charity auction for underprivileged children. I have exhibited a boxing glove of “Rocky” to charity before.”

    -Dolph Lundgren appears.

    （Sly invites Dolph, and showing the figure of Rocky.)
    Sly: “Have you ever seen this?”

    Dolph: “Yeah, my Drago is like that, too”.

    Sly: “The muscles grow well! “

    Dolph: “That’s true! “

    （Toward the coverage staff ）
    Sly: “Why don’t you make his latest figure?”

    Dolph: “Make my thing again! Ha-ha! “

    Thanks to Hideo, once again for the great find! – Craig
