This figure is truly a "Movie Masterpiece", just like the film. It's really a beautiful stunning piece, and if you're a Godfather, Brando or just a Movie Icons fan period, this wonderful 1/6 scale piece might be for you. It's very expensive now, ranging from $500-$1000 on ebay and now topping $1200 on Amazon. I was fortunante enough to find one one ebay for $400 last month. The sculpt, detail, articulation, diorama backdrop, so much about this figure is just superb. Hot Toys we're ahead of they're time with this magnificent figure. I always knew my 1/6 scale collection would not be complete without this figure. If you truly want a piece of pop culture history, and something that will blow the minds of any houseguest you invite into you're home, this is it.

When I first saw this offering by Sideshow Toy Co., it had not been released as yet but I could only do a pre-order. But I'm here to say that without a shadow of a doubt this is worth EVERY cent they charge for this item. The likeness is second to none. I've watched ALL the other busts, 12", 1/4 scale figures of Brando as Corleone and there have been NONE that can come close to this as far as I'm concerned. With all the incredibly good accessories and the "setting" that come with it, this package is a true collector's item that can only increase in value as I see it - if kept nicely displayed and the beautiful collector's box intact. It is an amazing product that I cannot say enough good things about. Simply put, if you can swing the cost, get it - it's worth every penny and will display beautifully once I find the right spot for it to keep it safe and secure. Excellent piece. FIVE stars to Sideshow Toy and whomever sculpted it because down to the aged texture on the face and hands, this is a must have piece. If I could have afforded it, I would have purchased two - one to display and one to save to collect. Excellet work.
