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

A narrow TT which was was modified as well, correct?

I don't know if this question is intended for me or not, but I will answer it anyways. I added 1 1/2 cm to the torso area. That makes it more "Ford" accurate. Also, I agree that the head is way too big, which is why if you alter the hat and add and alter a new body, it can work out. But that really makes the KOTCS Indy a starter kit.

I saw the T2 Arnold today in person at Hot Toys store in Mongkok in their pre-order section. God please, let them do Indy figures.

Sideshow should change their factory to the same one that makes the Did figures, they could teach them a thing or two about paint applications on their heads. That Che looks stunning.

What does the sculpt look like on an un-altered truetype?

.... and canceled.

As much as i LOVE the likeness, and Trev's work, the Expression kills the figure for me.
He looks as if he just smelled something awful, and is reacting to it.

Kudos to those of you that like him, but canceling my Ex version right now.

This might be a good time to remind everyone what the unpainted sculpt looks like. As before, the potential is there for upgrading to make an outstanding figure. I know the argument is that for the money we shouldn't have to, but considering the 'Indy Customization' thread is over a year old with nearly 1400 posts, people seem to enjoy doing the work to these figures. Personally it's been a hobby of mine since I got the first one and I'm relishing having the opportunity to do the same to this one...

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

Trevor's photos also have favorable lighting in them, the only photos in here so far are flash flooded and those never make anthing look the best, be it real people or figures.

The pic of the headsculpt from Comic Con looks about the same as the Pics here. Both have the flash taking away from the likeness

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

I like the look of the sculpt, it's spot on compared to this pic

 

[MaulFan]

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

The problem is the in hand pics have little or no distinguish between his eyes, skin and teeth, they almost all look the same tone. Under "in home" lighting, I'm sure people will feel better about the portrait.

The hat is too small for the head though, as compared to the unpainted prototype, right?

Yeah, I don't know what happened in production, but Trevor's proto sculpt was clearly in proper proportion.

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

Top of the hat looks smaller in the comic con shot than Trev's shot, who knows what happened.

But IMO not to the point that it ruins the figure

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

No I think it looks ok, just pointing out that the production piece isn't a big surprise, it's been this way since SDCC. I actually like it, I look at the Raiders figure and somehow the top of the hat feels too big to me, so a little smaller is better. Thankfully looks like the brim came out better on KOTCS, it's a bit asymetrical and sloppy on the Raiders hat.

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

Going by some of the pics the jacket has changed too. Or is it that the first pics have too much flash?

Its supossed to be, he got his Raiders hat and sat on it, crumpled it up, slept on it etc. The crown size and width is also correct.

The Raiders hat is a great, you can tell Trevor researched it alot before sculpting it, it even has the turn in the brim like the movie hat where the center of the front brim slope is over to the right side more then centered.
