Feels like back in 2015, pleather vs leather wasn't even an issue. Going through that old thread, nobody mentions it.

Ironic ... I just checked and my DX05 jacket is still in good shape, no issues. I have a Sovereign jacket too. I really liked that one, it was a weird material, but it had a lot of great wrinkles in it.

Make sure not to touch that DX05 jacket or repose. Every one I've seen in the last 4 or 5 years is on the verge of cracking or already has problematic areas.

Waruna's sculpts are going to be pretty difficult to top if at all for quite awhile.

It's amazing when someone finally just nails it. It will be only micro-improvements at this point, like on HT Sparrow.

What’s the best body to use for a ROTL build? I remember years ago, we thought it was HT Bruce Banner. Is there something more readily available that’s on par?

Most seem to use the JX01 body which is pretty readily available these days. The more expensive options would be the HT ANH Han Solo body or the young Han Solo body from the Solo movie.

Or, you can just wait until the ROTJ Han Solo figure is released and pick up that body parted out

Hi @surforia,

Hope you are well. From my experience of what have seen across Instagram, forums and groups, the JXS01 would probably be the most popular for the reason @Gipetto0812 gave above, it is also the cheapest and can be had for about £16 - £20 from AliExpress. I'd say that the HTs ANH body might be as popular, or in second place and I see people still using the Banner body on occasion. Another alternative is the Blitzway Zorro body, which some folks use, too but this is rare and expensive. It's to date one of my favourite bodies in overall quality and look and it has painted chest hair, which is perfect for Indy. But the legs are too fat/ stocky for Ford if that might show with your trousers and you want better screen-accuracy.

Note that the Young Solo body is the same with some changes which include a pinker flesh tone, double jointed plastic arms (so, you don't have the sculpted details that ANH does, if that matters for your build) with smaller biceps and possible slightly shorter arm length when I first measured against the ANH arms.

Below is a good example of someone who had tried 3 different bodies with their Mike Yuan outfit:

Left: JXS01 (I think), centre: ANH (I think), right: Zorro

I think the ANH body is closest to Ford's that has been made to date, if you compare it to photos of Ford you can easily see the resemblance. But as I always say, you are mostly working to the strengths/ weaknesses/ limitations of the outfit, so you might be best catering for that, rather than the body. And this is due to the fact that a body is more easily swappable and modifiable than clothing is. One example is that I am currently worshiping a new body/ shorter, doubly jointed arms for my Raiders Indy in order to get his jacket sleeves longer/ covering his hands/ palms a bit more like, in the film. The stock ANH body he was on is good but the arms are long/ sleeves a bit too short.

I hope that helps and I wish you all the very best with your Indy, man!

Happy adventures
