Besides getting the Toy Syndicate version 2 Harrison Ford Rick Deckard head sculpt (see
previous post) from "Blade Runner", I also snagged this 1/6 scale Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty head sculpt from the same movie.

Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty was regarded by Philip K Dick (the writer of the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" on which the movie is based) as "the perfect Batty—cold, Aryan, flawless".

And this is my kitbash of a 1/6 scale 12-inch Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty, leader of the renegade Nexus-6 replicants and a "combat model".

His stats from Bryant's computer screen read:
Replicant (M) Des: BATTY (Roy)
NEXUS-6 N6MAA10816 [N6 = Nexus 6, M = Male, AA = Physical and Mental are both the highest grade, 100816 means his incept date was 8 January 2016.]
Incept Date: 8 JAN., 2016
Func: Combat, Colonization Defense Prog
Phys: LEV. A Mental: LEV. A

At the climax of the film, Roy Batty protectively cradles a pigeon. Most animals had ceased to exist by 2019, were either extinct or extremely rare, and had been replaced by elaborate biomechanical simulations.
Roy's last words before he "expired":
"I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die."
