Am I right in thinking there is also a Blitzway figure of him? Or maybe I'm confusing it with another. Either way, this one is very cool and works splendidly for the scene in question.
I'd totally get one myself, though I'd need a Clarice to go with him. I love Jodie Foster's portrayal of her in that film so much. So many of her scenes are her as this tiny woman, standing alone, surrounded by, or facing down, men. She is both strong and vulnerable all at the same time. The dynamic between her and Lecter makes the entire movie for me.
Glad you had a rewatch at this great movie, it's one of my all time favorite thrillers! Jodie Foster is such a great actress, she was just perfect as Clarice Starling (except when she refused to take back the role for Hannibal)
There is a decent Jodie Foster headsculpt as Clarice Starling made by Kumik a few years back, it's not perfect as it's quite a mix of Clarice and a more recent (older) Jodie Foster, but it definitely has the main features to make her recognizable (I'll finally make something out of it thanks to the recent Dana Scully figure)

Yes, I believe there is a Blitzway version. It was this one that I don't remember hearing about.
For $90 he might be worth tracking down, not right now for me though, I've REALLY got to cap my spending now!
To answer you both, Blitzway made two versions of Hannibal Lecter, but they are more statues than figures, no articulation at all on one, very little on the other. They made a "sitting" version when he is dressed in white and held in the federal court building. The other is the iconic straitjacket strapped on the gurney. Both are way overpriced to my eyes for statues, and in hand pictures proved the likeness and paint quality was very inferior to the promo pics, barely decent in the end.
On the bright side, there are two versions of the figure I own, both go around 100$ on most sites, the first one is the iconic straitjacket and orange suit, the other is the blue overall suit he wears while in psychiatric internment at the beginning of the movie.
different headsculpt on each,orange version comes with the removable mask, blue version comes with two headsculpts (one clean, one covered with blood) I was striked by the quality and likeness at this price point, and happily surprized with the tailoring (the suit is complete under the straitjacket, he has an additional white Tshirt, and the body is padded to give him the right silhouette)
To find them, the brand is "OUR WORLD", the real title of the figure is "silence of the lEmbs" (I guess the typo is intentional)
straitjacket version - machinegun - 93€
straitjacket version - ebay - 94€
blue overall version - ebay - 115€
