Thanks I'm guessing by Urban you're referring to Judge Dredd? I've not read the comics (not my era although that doesn't usually stop me!) but, one of my friends at work loves them and passed on his enthusiasm, the film is great very violent beautiful graphics and slow mo shots, at the start of the fil you see Dredd putting his helmet on but, you never get a proper look at his face. Anyway hope that I got the right end of the stick , back on topic.
Urban = Karl Urban = actor - plays this new Dredd, and is also on Lord Of The Rings (Eomer), and I "met" him on Xena - among others, he's Cupid. Oh, and his evil twin plays Caesar... Julius Caesar.
On topic..
I can certainly see what you mean and generally speaking most things like that don't bother me all that much and it doesn't make the figure look bad so to speak more as I said above it sort of takes away slightly from the realistic look as you wouldn't expect a Fireman to have Playmobil written on their unifom and as far as I know very few other figures have Playmobil written on their body so it's hardly as though it's soemthing that's done because it's the norm to have it on the figure although I think my old mechanic might have it written on his jacket which I think is a more appropriate context.
As for the hair it's all down to personal taste like many things I guess, I've got to say for me I really like the Elvis hair piece the detailing on it looks really as though it's been gelled up and styled don' think I'd want more than one Elvis figure but, at least one more hair piece like that would be good, have to look for some appropriate body pieces to do a bit of a custom would love to make a Greaser figure .
I suppose you're right about "playmobil" not being very.. appropriate for a fireman's uniform... In a mechanic it's ok, I guess, I mean, some have other stuff written, right? The Valvoline and such, that we know from playmostickers since we were little, but had no idea what it was
The elvis hair is great for Elvis or a greaser (you read the Outsiders?), though honestly I'm not really fond of either... (I loved the book, but as a playmocustom, I'll pass).. It IS a unique hair though, and it was well executed. I mean, it really turned out great..
Love that boy in overalls. Will have to see if I can hunt him.
