1/6 KOTCS Indiana Jones--PREORDER NOW ON PAGE ONE!!

[Lordscum]

I passed, I thought KOTCS was decent but I didn't like it enough to justify spending $90.00 for the figure.

Instead to $$$ is going towards German Indy ! I would by TOD and maybe the LC Indys.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

The very low edition size of the exclusive makes it a tiny bit more desirable, but I think I'll stick to the regular. I have both on order just in case I find myself with an extra $80 bucks burning a hole in my pocket (not bloody likely! ), but chances are I'll end up with the regular which is fully loaded on its own.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Anyone have any recommendations for a backpack for KOTCS Indy? That's the one accessory I think is sorely lacking. Everything else it top notch.

 

[Cavlcade]

You read my mind!!

I have searched around for 1:6 WWII rucksacks, but haven't found the right version - it was a German Alpine rucksack:

I'm hoping to cannibalise these two to make a close enough version:

this for the straps

and this for the body.

They're not perfect, but hopefully it'll work well enough.

I'm also picking up a shovel too, to complete the kit.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Where are they from? I'd be happy with just the second one. But you're right, the straps from the first bag are correct.

 

[Cavlcade]

The second one is from a Soldier Story Red Army figure, you can get them loose from Toy Anxiety, the first one I found after a search on Ebay for 1/6 rucksacks. Hope this helps.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Thanks Cavlacade! This will round out Indy perfectly!

Probably a dumb question since I've seen KOTCS a few times now, but when did he have a backpack?

When they went to the gravesite to find Oriano's grave.

You mean Orellana?

 

[Khev]

Ah, thanks.

 

[Deckard]

Also before that in the asylum.

From today's Q&A:

I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan and I have to say I’m thrilled about the love you’re showing the 1/6 line lately and I’m also stoked about the upcoming prop replicas, dios and PFs! Thank you! I have a couple of quick questions about the KotCS 1/6 Indy: Firstly, is his hat removeable? Or is it permanently molded to his head like the Raiders Indy? And secondly, for the Exclusive Version … is there any chance you’ll include the refrigerator shelves so we can simulate the “before” moment? (I know, silly question, but I had to ask!) Thanks again for all the Indy love!

Yes, to the best of our knowledge, KOTCS Indy’s hat is permanently attached. We chose to represent the refrigerator from the post-nuclear blast, hence all the weathering painted on the outside, so we didn’t feel it was correct to include the shelving inside. Instead, Indy can go for one hell of a ride inside that frigid beast (just remember that polystone is rather fragile). It might be better if you tuck him inside for a nice nap.

Nothing we didn't already know. I found Sideshow's phrasing "...to the best of our knowledge..." odd, like they don't really know? Like some other company was working on it that they had no control over? Just odd.

Sucks that they didn't answer the several questions I submitted about the "pause" in the Indy line!

Maybe next week?

I also found this interesting. Kind of adds to our suspicions that Sideshow may be moving away from 1:6.

Star Wars and GI Joe seem to be going strong, but are there any new 1/6 licenses on the horizon for Sideshow? If so can, you tell us if they’re from newly created properties or from more vintage titles? Are there plans to add 1/6 figures to any of Sideshow’s current licenses such as Conan? And finally - the Dead seem popular, any plans for other Sideshow Original 1/6 lines?

"The magic 8-balls answer here is definitely inconclusive. We recommend to shake the 8-ball again and ask us in a few months."

Meh, to hell with all that jazz. We already know the answer. I wanna know who this is/was about :

On several occasions, we have been frustrated by talent or studio approvals asking us to remove details of a sculpture which are accurate to source materials, degrading the authenticity of our product in favor of satisfying the views of a particular actor, actress, or studio head who does not, for instance, believe in nipples, endowed women, g-string underwear, or more innocently, the true size of someone’s nose.

Looks like my waitlist reservation will convert!

 

[Mad Old Lu]

For which, Ex or regular?

 

[jedibear]

Mine's converting for the regular. Had to cancel the exclusive.

I'm pleased enough with the stuff the regular version comes with.

The fridge is a good "WTF?!" display option, but I'd have been kicking myself every time I looked at that, thinking about how much that polystone fridge cost.
