No guarantee of perfection, but I think it's a safe guarantee, whatever you get when it does ship will be superior to what you'd have gotten if it came much sooner.

It's all good. I'm just an impatient Irish ******* counting the days (and other releases) before my most-wanted SSC figure ever is actually released. Almost as if I'm counting sheep at bedtime. 
That said, I DO wish Sideshow had planned the production and release window for the initial INDY items a bit better so they could have hit during the release of the movie (and possibly even offered something else at SDCC like the other licensees). But I'll live.
(Besides, Josh... you have to remember that I scold and chide Sideshow because I care. I genuinely love them and expect and want the best from them. Maybe it's just my paternal instinct... and the beer. )

They were also too busy making green zombies and stuff like that as well.

I know you like them as a company and as people too. I wasn't saying that at all.

Good one.

I think I finally put my finger on why I don't really like the sculpt. It's too wide. Here is a picture for comparison. If Sideshow could just find a way to squeeze the head a little, it would look better.
I know some will say that it's bad paint, but I'm not sure I believe that.

You're basing that off a pic of the painted prototype. Have you seen the raw sculpt? It's FLAWLESS.

Yead, I've seen the prototype and it is still too wide. Personal opinion, but it's what I think.

See, here is the thing I see with Ford sculpts.. They're always too chunky or fat. He has/had quiet a lean face, his not chiselled or anything, but he has a strong jaw-line and cheekbones and a rather fit & health face. I'm sure every one remembers the 1st Han Solo 12"er. He'd been in a good paddock!

Not trying to offend, but what does that mean for us on the other side of the globe?

Ever notice how Ford gained weight for Han Solo and lost it for Indiana Jones? For example, he looks in better shape in Raiders than Jedi. And then he was back in shape again for Temple of Doom. I would like to see a sculpt that capture his lean, sharp jaw like in this pic:

"He's been in a good paddock" means that he's a fat cow that have been eating too much grass in a well maintained paddock/field. I thought that was a fairly well known expression. Just don't ever say it to a girl... I did say it to a mate once who I hadn't seen for a while. He didn't like it.

He actually gained weight for TOD but it was all muscle. Kind of like how Hugh Jackman gained 20 pounds for each X-Men movie and lost body fat.

Yeah, that's definitely not something you'll ever hear in the U.S. In fact I'd be shocked if any of my friends would even know what a paddock is--which means I must use it now!
Now that I've seen ROTLA, I'm very eager to get this figure.
Getting pretty good at making 1:6 crates now, actually. In fact, I might be so inclined to make some for others if they're interested once the Sideshow Indy's start arriving.
