That gun was used as the basis for Chip's gun with the retail toy. However, it was actually carried by Kip Killigan in the film. He starts with two different guns and Chip breaks one over his knee.
Gotta love the look on Kip's face.
The paint job is a little less detailed than yours, but that's the gun. The one that came with the 12" toy figure is slightly different and cast in a single colour silvery plastic.

I considered it, but when studying them, they're all very different. None of them have the same body shape and porportions as Chip so you'd actually be better off sculpting them from scratch.

I've made quite a bit of progress on the box art. The only thing that's holding me back is the graduated pattern on the inner sleeve behind Chip. I can come up with something very similar, but this is about the only bit of artwork that was used on the retail packaging that was accurate to the movie! Does anyone have a scan of that inner sleeve I can use?

I just bought the Chip Hazard Statue off ebay. It is the only one I have ever seen, except for the ones in these pics. I cannot say how awesome it is. It came complete with the shipping box from Japan, the Display box and the entire statue. I have number 0000 of 5000. I am really looking for the Archer statue so if you know anyone who has one, please let me know! I am in the process of moving, but I will try to post pics of it asap.
Yes he did - they were made from the original molds and put together and painted by the original artists - but only 25 were ever made. And as such, they go for about $2000-$3000 (see the auction link GBFan57 posted).
As far as the publicly available toys go, these two I've repainted are the best. The non-talking Chip Hazard has cloth clothes so is no good, and the talking Archer has a HUGE medallion on his chest (and the sculpt work isn't as nice).
Aside from repaints of the toys, the best things available are very rare (too expensive for my budget) but awesome "lifesize" Japanese porcelain statues:

I saw that you were working on the boxes for the action figures. How did they come out? Please let me know. I think it would be awesome to own a set of those.

I so wish I could find a set of these. I think if I had the opportunity, I would put out the money for these. I just found out they made these limited edition ones!

I'm doing quite well. I have the text all finished and the logos. I "just" need to the picture of the character, the picture on the back of the box and the picture from the insert (the graduated circuit board pattern).
I want to get this project finished soon. I lost momentum when nobody here seemed interested any more. :confused

That would be awesome!!!

This is my life-size Major Chip Hazard Replica Statue. It was a limited edition to 5000 copies. My statue is numbered 0000 of 5000. The reason it was numbered that is because it was the sample used to advertise the other statues. Other than the mold version, my statue was the first one made. I just thought Small Soldier fans would enjoy seeing this rare item. I hope to post the rest of my collection of figures after I finish moving. Any questions, please ask!!!
