Ra's Al Ghul

Here's Ra's Al Ghul from Batman Begins, as played by Liam Neeson. Liam's a great actor, but I'm not sure on how I feel about him as Ra's Al Ghul. The character was supposed to be of Arabic and Chinese (I think) descent. He was definitely not Caucasian. I think Nolan was going for the surprise factor: Batman's mentor was the mastermind after all.

This figure's head sculpt is from IMINIME - it was difficult to acquire as there was a limited run of 300 sculpts.

The likeness is pretty good, but I think it could do better with an improved paint job. I still think it's the best likeness of Liam Neeson, despite there being recent sculpts by other artists (google CREG Customs' Ra's Al Ghul head sculpt)

This figure came with a rather crappy body and a black suit. While his black suit and scarf outfit is the one used at the final confrontation with Batman, I opted to get his ninja training outfit from third parties on ebay. I just think it suits the character more. Plus, Joker and Two-Face already wear suits. I don't want another suited guy for Batman.
