12" Indy In Adventure Gear: Raiders Version Discussion Thread

[IrishJedi]

Did you use the Dragon uniform as well? I was surprised how well it fit on the muscular 3.5 body. Belt rides a little high because of the shoulder straps, but otherwise perfect fit. I still need the rocket launcher though, can't wait to see what you've done there.

Yep. Used many of the same Dragon uniform pieces that you did, though I made some alterations to make the jacket more screen-accurate (I removed the gold trim around the color and added shoulder boards). And I too was surprised to see that it fit the 3.5 muscle body. I was scared there for a bit.

The rocket launcher is coming along. It's almost a total custom job. I used parts from different 1/6 rocket launchers, other random pieces of plastic (such as as a coffee stirrer, believe it or not) and I'm still sculpting parts of it. I can't wait to see how it turns out, either.

Some good info in today's podcast about the costuming. Especially about the jacket.

Kevin, it was great to hear you talk about the cut & sew for Indy. So glad that you did your homework on the costume and are aware of the minor differences between the jackets from movie to movie. I'm one of those geeks who keeps tabs about the exact length of each and the size of the pockets. Interesting that you at least considered real leather and glad that you went with the cotton lining and not satin. Kudos also on getting the gas mask bag details in there. I'm SO happy you went with a scale zipper - even though it's not an accurate nickel color

I personally would like even more details about the process, the things that didn't work, the challenges in sewing the materials, really any info you could give about the process and the patterns. Thanks!

I'm gonna get this figure for sure when it released.

 

[MANDO]

Well, thanks to Irish and TheObsoleteMan, I've most of my German Soldier disguise Indy gear. Haven't gotten a hat yet, but gonna hold off on that for now. I'm using a Hot Toys body because I had one lyin around, just gotta get him some feet.

I'm curious to see what you guys put together. After getting everything on the body for muck up look I'm really excited about completing it! Thanks for the inspiration guys!!!

 

[chuck20]

[TheObsoleteMan]

I just can't wait for this figure!!!!

I reckon we've got about 4 more months, it'll go by like that. I know you can't see it, but I just snapped my fingers there.

 

[Memnoch]

Ugh don't say four months because I need to get that extra $300 from the good ole Government so I can make sure I got my TF orders covered.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I just found something that might be useful for folks looking for bodies that will have a compatible neck joint for the extra Indy head. I've never heard of this body before, but it seems pretty cool.

[galactiboy]

Interesting, never seen those before... but it looks like there's a mid calf and forearm joint? That would make no sense... unless maybe you can swap them out.

It has a feature that lets you change the length of the limbs.

 

[galactiboy]

Well there ya have it... thats kinda cool. Wonder how durable they are, resistant to floppy limbs and what not.

This looks great, September cannot get here fast enough.

Can't wait to see how the new body is in hand. Well worth the hincreased price.

Hope the Joe's have the same quality to them.

 

[Blackhole]

I did have that thought, how cool it would be if the Hellboy and Indy universes met...

Kroenen is the most badass Nazi, and Indy is just plain badass...
