On the surface, the movie Heat is the story of the lives of police and criminals of Los Angeles. A deeper look reveals the drive of these people and how they see themselves and those around them. Neil McCauley is a master of his trade, to which he is totally devoted and disciplined. He also happens to be the bad guy.
A climatic scene in the movie features a bank heist meticulously planned by Neil and his crew but the police have been tipped off and a full-out urban battle ensues in the streets of Los Angeles.
The custom parts of this figure are the sunglasses, ammo vest, and the money bag. Other parts have been modified.

"We're here for the bank's money not your money. Your money is insured by the federal government. You're not going to lose a dime. Don't try and be a hero."
As Neil scans the outside of bank, his weapons are nearly totally concealed.
"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
Neil is armed with a Colt Commando and a Sig Sauer P220. Nearly unnoticed in the movie is the pistol in a quick draw holster in the front of his waist line.
The Assassin action figure by BBI shared a strong resemblance to Robert DeNiro. Taking it a step further made that character into an action figure from one of the most epic crime movies in modern cinema.
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
