Trying to Explain Rooli Pelaaja

As pointed out by reader Zemboscisk the possible inspiration for the awesomeness that is Rooli Pelaaja as seen below and first posted about here.

Could be Ruby Rhod from the 1997 Fifth Element movie also as seen below.

Maybe yes, maybe no.  For some reason I had mentally blocked Ruby from my mind, or just didn't make the connection, no idea why.  In his later years, lets call them the "Late Elvis Phase" Ruby may have let himself go, as seen below.

Enjoy!
