When John Carpenter and Kurt Russell got together, they made magic. Characters such as Snake Plissken and R.J. MacReady are some of the most beloved by movie fans, and let’s not forget Big Trouble in Little China‘s goofball trucker, Jack Burton. One of the most endearing action heroes of all time, Burton is soon coming to the toy shelf courtesy of a stunning collectible.
A loving homage to the character, Sideshow Collectibles’ upcoming sixth scale figure of Jack Burton features one of the best head sculpts we’ve ever seen, looking so much like a mini Kurt Russell that it’s almost eerie. The figure, due out in the first quarter of 2018 and now available for pre-order, is limited to 1,500 pieces, and it comes with a small scale replica of “The Guardian”!

Our new limited-edition Jack Burton figure raises the bar yet again for the possibilities of the sixth scale format. Featuring a super-lifelike portrait of Kurt Russell in all of his mid-eighties glory, including a lovingly sculpted rendition of his magnificent mullet! From the laces on his custom leather boots to the creases to the weathering on those sweet eighties blue jeans – each part of his wardrobe has been recreated for supreme movie-accuracy.
We’ve also produced miniature versions of the weapons that Jack uses to great (and unintentionally hilarious) effect while battling Lo Pan and his minions. Check out the attention to detail on his tiny semi-auto pistol and his boot knife. We’ve captured every minuscule detail on this 12” figure–even recreating the tiny stitching on his leather watch cuff!
Jack is also outfitted with multiple hand configurations (fists, relaxed hands, gun hand and knife hand) for optimum pose-ability.
Check out the incredible figure below and pre-order yours through Sideshow!
