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

I don't think some of the people here realise just how much he's altered his, and their going to be very dissapointed when they get their own and it looks nothing like his.
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Is this the figure unaltered at all, it's one of hte first shots in here.

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

Yep thats the real one, he added new shirt, shoes, pants, whip, bag, body, resculpted the hat, repainted the head, and weathered the jacket.

Not knocking it at all, it looks great Fast, just saying thats too much work for me considering the already high price point of this thing.
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

I think the stock figure would be fine, though I would body swap, but the clothes and hat and paint are livable, it's not like a Faramir.
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Yeah, a body swap is definitely in order...too bad the prices of narrow TT are way overpriced and limited...
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Call me crazy, but I think the un-altered figure still looks pretty good. Don't get me wrong, FastStreet's customized version is great but I think, in hand, the un-altered figure will look a lot better than those initial pics. Not trying to make excuses, but there is an awful lot of flash going on in those initial pics that is washing them out.

I first posted straight out of the box pictures, and yes, I am not a good photographer.

Now that the 1/6th Indy line has stopped, I think that it is important that people know that, at the least, they can slowly improve what they have.

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

Looks great, faststreets. I gotta agree with Billy Ray, though. I think he looks pretty good already right out of the box. With some minimal futzing, I think he'll look great!
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

I agree to a point. Actually, anyone can take a hacksaw to his mid-torso and add the needed height (you could use masking tape and cardboard -- what does it matter, the shirt covers it anyways). The point being, you can make him into whatever you want, and you can use most of what came with him right out of the box, the sidebag is great, the factory paint is the best I've seen on any Indy figure. The pants look great too.

Oh, I didn't mean to minimize what you created, faststreets! I think you did a great job and he looks terrific because of it. But for some of us who either don't have the time, talent or resources to make alterations, I think the figure looks pretty good already. As opposed to the original ROTLA Indy that at the very least needed a tighter body and repaint in order to be merely okay.
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Nice job once again. I think with just a body swap and some minor futzing, this figure will look perfectly fine.

It's a shame this might be the last Indy 12" we see considering the (relative) growth in quality these figures went through.
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Yeah, I know. Oh well, the Indy curse lives on. Too bad SS doesn't just swallow their pride and use truetype bodies to begin with...
 
Re: KOTCS Indy.... in hand !!!!!

Now he looks like Indy in Kotcs. I thinks your "step by step" is fully appreciated. Congrats , the result is fantastic I think the change is like the morning to the night ;)
