It's a re-painted Sideshow head. Not sure when it came out though. Some time around 2008, when the movie released?

I believe this is Trevor's Sideshow Sculpt Repainted if I am not mistaken. I got this on eBay as a repaint. I have to say I really do like it.
The UU definitely captures Ford from some angles, but there's still something just a bit too generic about it. And the creepy expression certainly doesn't help any.
Yeah, I think that one was dubbed "serial killer" Solo.
I know it's not Indy but the best Ford likeness for me is the modded MJ sculpt to Deckard that Jake for our Velvet Morning V2 Deckard.
It's a nice sculpt but for some reason I keep seeing directors in the MJ sculpt - some pics when it's as Indy look like a young Spielberg to me, as Deckard he looks a little like ROTJ director Richard Marquand.
I think that's the knock-off head from eBay. It has odd stubble - kind of charcoal smeared with black dots in it.
Same company that bought you the 1/2 scale Indy...
Oh... here's a gallery of the Sideshow KOTCS Indy (which has a nice sculpt but is about 20% oversized):

Hmm no offense to mustang33guy, but I think I've definitely seen some better repaints of that Sideshow head, whether for Indy or after converted into a Deckard:
I wonder if they'll have triple neck ties in Blade Runner 2? It's even further into the future.
And they have only three more years to invent and sell flying cars. I bet Ridley Scott never thought he'd be producing a sequel for release in the same year (2019) as the original is set.
They are really going to have to start setting futuristic movies further into the future - between BR and BTTF, it's embarrassing how so little seems to come to pass.

I think it's an amazing looking sculpt in close up shots, but somehow from a distance it doesn't work as well for me. The eyes seem a bit too close together and the bridge of the nose a bit too narrow. Plus I think I just prefer an Indy with a more serious and determined expression.
It does look amazing, but you really can't judge sculpts that are unpainted or digital renders only. It's weird - something changes when the paint goes on.
What's strange is that I've seen one paint-up/lighting set-up of the Choi sculpt that was just dead-on Indy. Yet every other time, I just don't see it, despite seeing it with incredible paint-ups over and over. There really is a magic to the way a sculpt and paint meshes.
And I agree - up close the Choi does feel like more Indy, but from a distance it falls away for some reason. For me, it looks slightly Sean Penn further away. Yup - facial recognition works differently for sure.
But it is one plus of the SSC TOD Indy head - it has some Indy attitude/expression, which IS important for Indy. HT's Indy didn't work not only ebcause of the likeness, it was also that bland no-expression look that HT usually delivers that made it off. Works for some characters, not Indy.
Honestly, if it wasn't 10% too small the SSC TOD head would be very near the top of the list overall. I love it in-hand but it still looks pretty great in pics too

I had forgot about that crossed eyed abomination..... WTH were they thinking ?

The cross-eyed thing was photoshopped as a joke, but the eyes were pretty big and strange on that piece. It will supposedly never be released.

None taken, it's just the most readily available sculpt on eBay and the one that was in my budget. Def not trying to prove that it's the best by any stretch. The whole topic is so subjective lol. There are so many variations on here it's nice to know that everyone can find one they like.
Ha, that is true. There's an Indy head for just about every taste.

Except if you want an Indy that looks like the one in the movies.
