Have to say, as an older HF that sculpt is an excellent likeness.

Another underrated Ford sculpt (and perfectly suitable for an older Jones) is the Medicom/Enterbay Cowboys and Aliens head. Fantastic likeness.

Not really seen that one.

 

[Rogerbee]

I think the Medi KOTCS looks plenty "Indy" and not just like "some old man." The sculpt isn't any smaller than the Hot Toys head. In fact, the HT Hat won't even fit on the Medicom.

Nice job, he does look really good there.

 

[Rogerbee]

We'll have to agree to disagree then. I think it's one of the best Harrison sculpts out there from any angle. And there's NO Kato clothes on mine. Sideshow Pants, Shirt and Jacket.
Here is is without the gear. My apologies in advance:

That's a TTL body isn't it? I can never get heads to stay on mine.

Not really seen that one.

 

[Rogerbee]

Yeah, that's not bad. I do sometimes wonder what we would have got had Enterbay had a crack at Indy, what might have been.....

 

[Pixelpiper]

But zooming in on the face (and away from that great Kato/MF gear,) I still don't feel it's strongly recognizable as HF.

The Medicom sculpt is not recognizable as Harrison Ford at all. Maybe of some other actor done up in makeup with a prosthetic scar trying to imitate HF. No zooming necessary, I don't think it's any better than Hot Toys DX05. The Cowboys and Aliens sculpt you posted however, has a terrific likeness.

What people see is a funny thing. I've seen the Medicom KOTCS raw and repainted. Repainted really looks like HF to me. The younger Medicom look decent repainted but the Cowboys sculpt just looks ok to me. I think for most of us it's seeing something on the sculpt that captures HF, maybe the eyes,scar or the hair, something that that hits on a memory.

EDIT: I would love to see every sculpt repainted by the same artist just to see what gets picked up in the sculpt.

 

[Rogerbee]

One would imagine SilentSurfer will have been through the majority of them.

 

[dwing]

That's true, though I don't recall the Raiders version from Medicom.

 

[Rogerbee]

In the right hands it could be turned around, there was a painter years ago called Tin who did a really nice paint up of it and their Henry.

 

[dwing]

I think I have seen that Henry-looks awesome.

That looks great. Really good likeness IMO.

 

[Pixelpiper]

That looks great. Really good likeness IMO.

Thanks for that. Now I have a clear perspective on the choice HT Bespin Luke for replacement of the SSC sculpt.

 

[Rorywan]

I'm not biting Pixel, troll your heart out.

Just wanted to let everyone know that, it took some convincing, but the MJ Indy will be offered unpainted for approximately $100 + fees/shipping.

The thread will be open late next week or early the following.

 

[Rogerbee]

$100 is still a lot, but, at least the option is there.

 

[davejames]

Awesome news! And can't wait to see the pics.

Great news. Opens the doors for a lot more people to be exposed to MJ's work I think.

Wow! This is exciting news! Thanks for doing this Marf, especially that you didn't have to
