Whilst browsing through the internet today, I ran into a forum post about a new high-end collectibles company named Enterbay. Apparently, they recently acquired the license to sell products based on the show 24. This is the fruits of their labor:
Head sculpts for two main characters. If you have ever seen the show, A Few Good Men, or an All-State commercial chances are you'd instantly recognize one or both of their faces. The most amazing part isn't their near perfect likeness to Dennis Haysbert or Kiefer Sutherland, but the fact that these are for 1/6th scale figures -- the size of the common 12" G.I. Joe. Each hand-made head is about the size of a ping pong ball; absolutely sick.
Browsing through their website (http://www.enterbay.com), you can see some of their earlier work. I imagine it's not too hard to guess the identity of these two if you've seen any classic martial arts movie:


Heck, I'm not even sure I'd be able to tell these two were fake, much less miniatures, if I had just glanced at these pictures. Puts the toys of yesteryear to shame -- but then we didn't pay $150 apiece for ours. I guess it comes down to: can one really put a price tag on having Jack Bauer in your backpack?
