Miniatures and their doppelgangers

[LilBroGrendel]

The other day, I stumbled upon the Adeptus Mechanicus Kastelan Robots on GW's website and I couldn't help but noticing how much they (or at least the one with the gun arms) looked like the mighty grunts from the PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII:

Another example is how much the zombies from HeroQuest looks like Jack in The Shininig, when he walks down the lobby with an axe in his hands:

Any other doppelgangers out there? Please post them in this thread

The main one that comes to mind is Tanglebones and Riff Raff from Rocky Horror, but that was intentional:

That is stunning paint on the Riff Raff model.

The Goff Rocker with a top hat is either Slash from Guns and Roses or Marc Bolan.

Also reminds me a bit of...

And yes, I did have to check myself before putting up a dog turd.

Not a doppleganger, but perhaps an elven Elvis impersonator? Deliberate, surely?

I think you'll find you mean Elf-is!

 

[Padre]

So, you're saying that elf is an Elf-is impersonator not a very elvish Elvis or even an elven Elvis. Now the name Elvis looks ridiculous to my mind, and I shall never be able to listen to his songs without laughing. Although there have been times it was him who couldn't stop laughing.

Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher

Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher

That MUST have been deliberate as the third one in that pack looks like Michael Hesletine.

 

[Asslessman]

The Olley harpies should have come up earlier as they're the most obvious references (kicks himself for not thinking about them)

 

[Mason]

There is Rambo, the Chaos Dwarf....

 

[A Badger]

... and Rambones in the Skeleton range, and Ramperpo.

And how many Bryan Ansell's were there? Midlands Troll; Pinstripe cleric; Bryan the Wizard; Sir Bryan of Linby; the Ass cannon... there's a couple of Nigel's too - any other GW personalities from back in the day immortalised in lead?

Pretty much all of the original RT 'Imperial Army' range were named after staff at the time, if not sculpted as them if that counts, from memory:

Yippie Ki yay!

Yippie Ki yay!

That should have been the first barefoot marine!
