Wilrow Hood

OK, so this is the figure I got for RM20.00. This is Wilrow Hood. Google it and you will be amazed at the amount of background stories and attention for this just one movie extra whose job is to run around with an ice-cream maker. Yeah, you read that right.

Little was know of the extra's name but he
was the next fan favourite character voted
to be made into an action figure by Hasbro.

And here he is, running around in "Return
of the Jedi" after Lando Calrissian gave the
evacuation order.

And just look at him, the face tells it all.
The face of a hero.

And his computer core/ice-cream maker prop
which saved the Bespin Cloud City and the rebels.

Unfortunately, the figure did not look like that.
Yes, the sideburns and the facial hair are there
but his determined face turned into that of
hope lost and worry.

Still, that in famous beer belly was still
intact. In fact, as far as I can recall, this
is the second action figure that has a spare
tyre after Mcfarlane's Sam (of Sam & Twitch)

Paired with a GI Joe, height-wise....

And well, if you look at it sideways....

In the sitting position, because of his, erm
extra load, he can't sit properly. So, all you
boys and girls, stay off the beer and fatty
foods. And don't stay up after 10PM too.

And so, poor old Wilrow Hood, on screen, he
is a hero and on figure, a hopeless ice-cream
maker from Guantanamo Bay.
