NEW PRODUCT: Sideshow Collectibles: Clint Eastwood Legacy Collection: The Preacher (Pale Rider) Sixth Scale Figure

ABOUT THIS SIXTH SCALE FIGURE
“There’s plain few problems that can’t be solved with a little sweat and hard work.”

Sideshow presents The Preacher Sixth Scale Figure, riding his way into the Clint Eastwood Legacy Collection in celebration of the actor’s extensive career in film.

Based on Clint Eastwood’s appearance in the classic Western film Pale Rider, the Preacher Sixth Scale Figure features a carefully crafted portrait of the lone horseman with his iconic steely gaze and a non-removable hat. He also wears a custom-tailored fabric costume consisting of his weathered red duster, a black buttoned vest, a collared dress shirt, a neckerchief, and black pants. A faux-leather bullet belt and sculpted boots with spurs complete the Preacher’s signature look.

The Preacher Sixth Scale Figure is articulated to allow for numerous display options using his accompanying additional hands and accessories. This mysterious rider comes with two different revolvers and eight hands in total, including a pair of fists, a pair of relaxed open hands, a pair of gesturing hands, and a pair of hands for holding his weapons. Pose the Preacher in dramatic and dynamic action stances to recreate your favorite Clint Eastwood movie moments on your shelf.

If you’re looking for just one miracle, bring home The Preacher Sixth Scale Figure from the Clint Eastwood Legacy Collection today.

Another Clint, looks sharp. But the price seems a bit too high for such a "simple" figure in my opinion. This isn't InArt. Still a must have for Strykerverse?

I was going to ask the same thing... Mark, are you getting this? Looks really good. Wish the hat were removable, but then it probably wouldn't look right.

I POd immediately. Big Eastwood fan. He may or may not appear in the Strykerverse, but I can’t have enough Eastwood figures.

Hehe, I thought you might. Find him (and the others) a place. They can be a gang of nearly identical brothers.  And if they ever do some Scott Eastwood figures or head sculpts, you can use those for their sons.

If Sideshow can't even figure out a removable hat, they got no business bein' in this business. “There’s plain few problems that can’t be solved with a little sweat and hard work.” If it can't be done straight up, then by including a second head sculpt, or swappable hair pieces, as many have done, particularly both the LIM and VTS Red Dead Redemption versions. On this (and the Man with No Name) an unremovable hat should be totally unacceptable. It shows IMHO that the otherwise talented folks at Sideshow have more of a "statue" than a "flexible/adaptable 1/6" mindset.

Takes both the Sideshow Eastwood figures, for me, from absolute must-haves to categorical rejection. I wish the 1/6 marketplace spoke sharply and unequivocally against them; and I wish that it could happen fast enough for Sideshow to "fix" any anticipated Josey Wales.

"Nothing like a good piece of hickory."

Classic movie. Nice figure but too expensive.

I agree, LIM did a great job with the whole removable hat issue.

Shame about the hat, but wow he looks fantastic! Looking forward to seeing him in Mark's collection.

Cool. That was the one where he painted the village red and called it hell, right?

If not for the hat he looks like he would fit well with those DiD Submarine crew members.

You’re thinking of High Plains Drifter.

Ah right, thanks. I think I watched them all some time ago, but I sometimes mix up those movies with typecasted actors.

I hope you will have a lot of fun with him.

Well, not surprisingly, as Pale Rider was very similar in many ways to HPD.

The biggest similarity was that Clint was a ghost that came back from the dead in both movies to take revenge. I like this figure, but I can't get past the molded on hat. That is too much of a statue trait for me. It's like a gun that won't come out of the holster, or non removable foot wear, or sewn on clothes. I don't care how real it looks. For me it defeats the purpose of the term "action figure". I tried the first release of the Redman "Good, Bad, and Ugly" figures and I really can't stand the molded on hats.

That’s the way I always (and choose to) interpret them both, but according to Eastwood his character in HPD wasn’t a ghost, but the brother of the sheriff murdered. Which, based on the music, editing, etc., doesn’t make any sense.

I think Eastwood wants to have it both ways, or to put it more charitably, preserve the ambiguity. As you say the movie's moodiness, the editing and the music etc want to have something spiritual going on. But it's pretty extreme even for a ghost story to have a fully reincarnated ghost doing all the physical stuff. And it would have been pretty silly if we had actually seen the Drifter dissolve into smoke at the sheriff's grave, or something. So the "sheriff's brother" option is one explanation to preserve the "is he the dead man or isn't he."

No, the brother take does not make sense. From him appearing from a haze in the beginning to him fading out as he rides away. That and the flash backs about the whipping and seeing the townsfolk's faces during the same. Maybe not as a for sure thing as in Pale Rider when he takes off his shirt and you can see the through bullet wound scares in places that would certainly have killed him then he puts the same pattern on his enemy in the end.

Overall it's a nice looking figure but at that price point I'd prefer to see something other than plastic boots and hat. The sculpt and tailoring are impressive. Pistol sculpts look great too. I may try to just pick up some bits for my growing Old West customs.
