So they didn't get Chevy's likeness rights? YEESH!!!!

The actual sculpt is pretty spot on. Hoping the finished product is a bit closer to this:

I dunno, I think it's pretty good. I'll hold out for the Masterpiece Fletch figure though.

Oh yeah, I'd be down for a Fletch figure.

Is it just me or does the face on the painted head kind of look like Tim Allen...?

Probably it's something for the american market only, cause I never heard of this guy...

You've never heard of National Lampoon's Vacation or its sequels (Christmas Vacation was the only worthwhile sequel)? Maybe they are a more American thing, I don't know how popular National Lampoon was out of the states but I guess I figured the movies were at least known of. Okay so Clark Griswold is one of Chevy Chase's main big roles that he's known for, so basically this figure is for the same market that bought the Home Alone figures.

The resemblance to Andy Kaufman is uncanny.

I just googled it, & it was actually released here in the 80's (under a totally different name) but I never saw it, & it didn't left a big impression, i'm afraid. On the other hand, Home Alone is still on TV every christmas...

The National Lampoon movies were all popular over here. Christmas Vacation is very well known (moreso than A Christmas Story) and is on every year.
