This Brando Figure is One Wild Toy, But Not a Wild One Toy
Actually, this Hot Toys figure is simply of Marlon Brando in his youth, wearing a familiarly rebellious outfit. It’s not a Wild One movie toy, nosirree. Just Marlon Brando. wearing jeans, a leather jacket, and a sporty hat, and called the 1953 Version, which just happens to be when The Wild One came out. But that’s a coincidence.
The 12-inch figure can be pre-ordered here; it’s due sometime in the late spring or early summer. It does raise the question if any other Brando figures are on the way?maybe a little Last Tango in Paris action, with a muumuu and nothing else? The mind boggles.
