Logan's Run: Logan 5 & Jessica 6 (both head sculpts)

Ovy, you owe it to yourself to watch it. It’s a classic.

I'm with Ian Fleming -- Roger Moore was the most appropriate casting for Bond; but I do like Sean Connery in pretty much everything he is (from The Man Who Would be King to Indiana Jones and beyond). Zardoz was weird but fun, although his red diaper was a bit disturbing to me.

Logan's Run may be rather dated and somewhat cheesy, but still an interesting and entertaining classic that has a substantive message.

Thanks, I am sure I will have fun watching it, I accept those  'old aesthetics' rather fast some minutes into the movie. And cheesyness is part of the fun but it gets more 'normal' the longer I watch.

I mean, I really enjoyed Soylent Green when watching it the first time maybe 10 years ago, and this is one of those movies that really hasn't aged well. That's the problem with the future, not every movie can be a timeless Sergio Leone classic.

Logan's run was hot on a very low budget; the city interiors were in fact shot in a newly built but not yet opened shopping mall. The special effects leave much to be desired at places as well. What's important however is the story line and the concept of a future world in which population is controlled by being allowed to live only until you are 30.

agreed, great film and a great novel as i've said. really is a seriously underrated film. i usually think if the story is great, the effects could be straws and sodapop. the story is everything. also, "Soylent Green is people!" that one is a classic too. typical Charlton Heston! we need a figure of him in the omega man, and from SG. but more importantly...yes ovy, watch it and if u can find the book it's worth a read. it's alot of fun, and the world (in the movie) is kinda presented as one giant epcot center that people live in so take what you will from that.

I watched Soylent Green for the first time a few months ago. Can't believe that I hadn't seen it earlier. I watched Casablanca for the first time earlier this year too. I suppose it is never too late for the classics.

I would not put "Soylent Green" and "Casablanca" in quite the same class, but true, it's never to late to watch a classic for the first time. There's a young guy in my office who's never seen "Bladerunner," for instance.

If anyone is interested in one of these sculpts, I've created a Sales Thread in the appropriate section. (When I get the Jessica sculpts, I'll add her as well).

Excellent idea, Mark. I hope it works out. Just an idea: you might want to revise the text to say "how it might look when you paint it/have it painted."

Good idea. Edited.

Just a heads up: When an ad is edited, it needs approval -- I think you did it the first time around, but since I just spotted it for the edited version, I did it this time. No worries, it's all good. I hope others will take advantage of this opportunity like I did.

Impressive.
Will be good to see both figures when they are complete

Thanks. I have Logan in his Sandman garb finished, but I’m waiting for the Jessica sculpts to arrive (still don’t have her outfits yet - though I do have Logan’s poncho/robe — just need to get another head painted up for him).

It would be good to get my hands on a fully painted Jenny Agutter portrait.

Jessica!!!

Last I heard (a few days ago) the sculpts were done; just waiting for them to be shipped from overseas -- but with the lockdowns everywhere, it could still be awhile.

Oh, good luck with that! Hope it's not too terribly long before it can be shipped safely to you.

I will just sit here and wait [im]patiently

I cannot wait to see the sculpts.

Any ideas on the best choice of Phicen body for J.A. ?

I’m using the S19B for mine.

Judging by her body shape and height in the photo, I would would likely choose an S29B actually. I'm not saying Stryker is wrong as he actually has both figure and head sculpt; I'm just thinking that the S29 is closer to what I see in the photo.

How could i miss this Thread ? Wonderfull Idea and the York HS is amazing. Any Upgrades so far ?

The S29B is a little too busty for Jenny, who is fairly flat chested. I chose the S19B for its narrower frame, plus it matches pretty close to the World Box A012 body I’m using for Logan (Jenny and Michael were just about the same height).

I have Logan done, but I’ve been waiting (and waiting) for the Jenny head sculpts to show up from the sculptor.

You are in a better position to say than I.....

Jenny Agutter
Height 1.7m

I'd say her breast size is flatter than Phicen Medium
It is about time Phicen added Small to the line.

Yep. But for now, you go with the closest available.

TBLeague doesn't seem to know how to make any female figure that would take smaller than "C" size cups.
