In the 2010 action film "The Expendables" and the follow-up film / sequel "The Expendables 2" directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, former SAS soldier Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) is Barney Ross's (Sylvester Stallone) worthy right hand man. Lee is a martial arts expert, very adept at hand-to-hand combat and close quarters knife combat and is especially good at knife throwing.
This up and coming soon-to-be-released Art Figures 12-inch Soldiers of Fortune figure certainly looks to be inspired by Jason Statham's character from "The Expendables" movies and a very nice addition too :)

A little trivia: Lee Christmas (born February 2, 1863, Livingston Parish, Louisiana - died January 24, 1924) was an American mercenary in Central America. (source: wiki)
I have been waiting for HT to launch this but they more interested in Barney. Coming out Barney from both sequels and skipped the rest of the team in Expendables... But I think this would go well with the HT Barney.
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty good :)
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to see this license sweeped up by Art Figures. This looks good, as does the OTHER figures from this company... their PUNISHER is one of my favorites, the quality of there.
ReplyDeleteSorry, the quality its there..
ReplyDeleteSoldiers are always so cool! Love it!
ReplyDeleteArt figures are getting better and better.like this one.hope they do a few more not just one.like someone else di
ReplyDeleteLike I said, if you didn't get that first PUNISHER they did 2 years ago just end yourself right now! Its so polished and top notch, a real collector's piece. This looks to be just as thought out.. I plan on getting this and the NEW B.Ross from HT. I JUST HOPE Hot Toys redoes Ross's tattooed body again and NOT cheap out.... They probably won't :(
