1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Comatoast]

Finished my article and photoshoot for exclucollective.com. If you care to read it (and tell me about my factual inaccuracies) it's here: https://exclucollective.com/2017/08/18/friday-favorite-custom-indiana-jones/

This was the final shot for it ("The Doctor is In."), which took many, many, many attempts to get right. Somthings wrong with the torso on my Solo body and it's loose so a challenge to pose in this tight space.

That's a glorious shot. Good enough to be a poster.

I need to read the review...

EDIT: ... and did. Very nice. An interesting story about a bash. It will be fun to read 10 years from now assuming we're all still upgrading and upgrading Indy over time like we have for the last 10 years... He's never fun to finish.

Absolutely amazing shot and great article too! That Inigou sculpt still seems just a tad too angular and perfect to my eye (and lacks the slight roundness that I think a Ford sculpt needs to have), but it's still one of the best we've gotten and I'm kinda bummed I missed out on it.

WOW! Great to see this figure again. Man, was it really 15 years ago? Fantastic that you've got that photo. I've saved it again because I lost it many years ago when my PC died and I hadn't backed up many of my photos. It really was well done for its time and still looks good today. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

This is the best one I have and its actually from Chris King...

Again, keep in mind this was Sovereign's very first Indiana Jones figure AND the year was 2001 (2000) when he started... so the things like the oversized hat were state of the art at the time. But note the jacket...

Even this first jacket was a bit short. He lengthened it in his early follow-up offerings.

The bottom of the jacket should hang almost as low as the sleeves to be correct Raiders jacket.

I really like the Sovereign jacket, I guess mine is one the later ones, (I had no idea about the history of it) but I think it looks perfect. I know it's not real leather, but it looks like it is. It looks great at scale. I much prefer it to Yunsil or Kato, simply because it looks more accurate for the scale it is. On top of that it's got the folds and weathering it needs, which is my one bugaboo about the high-end tailor stuff. You're paying a premium but you still have to do a bunch of work to make it look good. With the Sovereign, you're paying $50 or so and it looks great right out of the box.

And thank you for the figure!!! I'm glad you know its gone to a good home that still appreciates it after so long.

And I'm happy you have been reunited with your original photo after so long. It must be freaky to see. I still remember the history you told me about how you and Shawn developed the figure over time in meticulous detail. You really pressed him to get it right. He needs that, and I think the figure became such a collectors icon at the time because of the care behind it. Although Shawn probably didn't appreciate it like he should at the time.

You did help shape a magnificent figure. I'm honored to have the first.

Nice. Love the tin type style filter in that first pic.

Jesus christ.

Was it something I said?

Truthfully, fair price for those is somewhere between $50 - $100 max. $70 is about right. $250 is insane.

ebayer 11mighty77 is a Freak here I'm pretty sure, he's a massive collector -- buy's everything -- and he always charges way too much.

Too bad, I wouldn't mind getting one but not for that price.

Same here. Would love one, but not going further than £100 for it.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Is that the same guy selling the indigo V2 sculpt painted for like $352 or something?

 

[ZedBelkon]

Yup. It's nice....maybe £150 to even £200 nice.......but it isn't THAT nice.

 

[bmarz1000]

You could literally buy an actual Wested Indy jacket for about that.

 

[Rzeznikk]

Oh that's back up again? Lol

Needless to say, prices are getting way out of hand.
