Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

By the way, so much for the theory some had of this being canceled.

Look how ridiculous that head looks painted sitting on that shiny ass glossed up neck on the Sideshow body. They really need to go back to a sculpted neck for figures like this.

He looks rather caveman-ish. Like his lower jaw is sticking out.

It looks like the belts are the same. They could've just put the gun belt in the opposite direction to at least show some attention to detail. The pants are probably the same, just not weathered.

So, it looks like for $90 you can get a better shirt and sidebag??

Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

OMG the horror.

Instant cancel and I wanted that damn fridge too.

The hat is tiny. No really tiny. Really really tiny. Look at the top of it, and that jacket is disgusting, pants are waay too baggy, like a rapper.

My first thought was that an ebay company had knocked off Sideshow's real figure.

NO WAY his head is fitting in that hat, where did the top of his head go???

Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!



Oh man! Just noticed this hours after Streets posted the pics... I think he looks great!! Can't wait to get my hands on him. Jacket looks a little light in color from the pics here....


Streets, do all of the parts look to be new and not just reused ROTLA pieces?

I frickin' love Indy.

Indy's pants are supposed to be baggy... these will probably be perfect once you soak them in hairspray and model them into a better drape... look at all the excess pant at his ankles and how baggy they look through the legs in this photo... definitely not a "rapper" look

Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

They look long, but not as wide as Sideshow's. Could as you said, be that they need to be straitened, Belloq's pants were like that. Still not happy with the overall look of this tho, my Raiders pants are the wrong color but look to be a better fit. And I can't get over that hat either, from higher angle shots it looks passable but the low angles make it look way too narrow.

At least they did the proper coloring on the belts and even the bag strap.

Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Fast what did you change, the entire outfit? Looks good but thats just the head and bag right?

 

[faststreetsofhongkong]

Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Just the head remains on the above pics. The start of this thread has him fresh out of the box with nothing altered.

The daylight pics were mostly to show the head sculpt. And I am starting to agree with an earlier post I read, the hat is not in scale above the ribbon level, it needs to be more stove pipe like (wider and maybe about 1/5 taller taller). An easy fix with Tamiya Epoxy Putty, some sanding and a re-paint.

Better than the Raiders Indy (marginally), but I already canceled my pre-order. It's really hard to get excited by something like this after you've seen the HT T2 Arnold. I just can't afford to drop $100+ on mediocre figures anymore, not with HT giving us T1, T2, Reeve Superman and Tron in 2010.

I agree. Sideshow really needs to step up the quality or severely drop the prices. Preferably both.

I agree the figure looks good, but Sideshow needs to step up its game. Hot Toys is taking over.

Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

So far, pics of the fig definitely look good, but I think it screams out for a more action oriented pose, instead of just standing there. That expression of determination is one Ford wore in all the Indy films, when Indy was in action and kicking much ass.

Doesn't this come with fisted hands? I think a pose utilizng fists, one arm drawn back to deliver a punch with legs slightly bent at the knee, would make this figure look outstanding when displayed.

I know what you mean. After seeing T2 Arnold I went and cancelled most of my Sideshow pre-orders and most of what is left are all Hot Toys. 2010 will be Hot Toy's year. Sideshow just isn't in the same league.

Is the hat the same sculpt as the previous ROTLA version?

I think that's why, other than Star Wars, all their 1/6 lines go on 'hold' or 'pause'. Rumors have been circling for a while that SS is phasing out of the 1/6 game to focus solely on PF's, Dios, Busts, etc.

Works for me, as long as HT can pick up 1/6 lines I love (like Indy). At least the SS PF's are pretty amazing. Most LOTR/SW and ALL Indy pieces so far are incredible from them in the 1/4 format IMO.

I don't see them getting out of producing Star Wars and GI Joe 1/6 anytime soon , they have already hinted at 1 or two releases for 2011.
GI Joe has also preformed pretty well for them so far as well.

There is also a new Pro body on the horizen as well with the CW Anakin Skywalker.
