12" Indy In Adventure Gear: Raiders Version Discussion Thread

[MaulFan]

I tend to doubt they will be.

It's a toss up, Leia Bousshh's Leia head was resin, Asajj's heads were rubber, though much softer than HT so wouldn't want that soft/hollow a head. I think the rubber like HT is better for a figure like Indy with interchangeable heads, I think resin runs the risk of changing it too many times and having the socket widen enough it doesn't grip as tight, and the rubber material leaves less concern for damage in the removal process, I've popped my Jack Sparrow and Rambo 3 heads off plenty of times with no issue.

Well, I just felt like posting in here again because I'm really anxious for this figure. The more times I watch the Indy movies, the more I want a figure of him and brainstorm some fun imagery to do with the figure once I get it.

 

[icruise]

I'm also anxious for it, but I have a feeling that by the time Sideshow gets around to actually shipping them most of my Indy buzz will have worn off. Still, I'm always going to be a fan.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

When Is This ^^^^er Gonna Ship!!!?????

 

[The Josh]

I'm hoping for a July shipment sometime during SDCC would be fine as it would be home waiting for me I would hope.

 

[nikki6r]

I cannot wait for this to show up. Looks the best 1/6 Indy I've seen.

 

[Bardoon]

If Indy gets lazy eyes or eyes looking at the side (a la Padme) I'm going to be furious.

 

[MaulFan]

I don't see them choosing to give Indy posed eyes like Scarface or the SW females, he's not really smirking enough in the sculpt to warrant it.

I just really hope he doesn't look like he's got a real beard, I was watching Raiders last night and there are moments he's so scruffy it almost looks it, but really, it just a stuble. I still think the best route is to not even put paint on and just leave it in the sculpt. Even the proto is a bit too thick, but it's tolerable, but so far all the figures with similar facial hair have come through with full beards, hopefully Indy continues to bettered paint apps of late.

I really hope we get some sign of him coming soon, all this Indy craze has me Jonesin' for this figure.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I'm really excited for this figure. I can't wait to paint him, weather him up.. I plan on casting the head and modifying it to make a Deckard head too. So lots of coolness with this figure.

 

[IrishJedi]

I've got lots of plans for this one, too. That's why I ordered 3 of 'em.

 

[chuck20]

this guy needs to ship already. I'm a sad panda just waiting around for him



but he must arrive in perfect conditon and far exceed my wildest expectations

 

[galactiboy]

This is a very highly anticipated figure for me... been wanting a great 1/6 Indy for years... awesome I'll finally have one

 

[thedarkknight]

This figure is gonna rock! I can't wait, but I don't want Sideshow to rush it. This one should be the best 1/6 they ever do with the anticipation we all have.

 

[IrishJedi]

I'm hoping the packaging kicks ass and that we see it soon.

 

[MaulFan]

I'm hoping the packaging kicks ass and that we see it soon.

Oooh, I hadn't even thought of that, a new packaging design. Has any high end Indy product come out yet? Knowing LFL, it'll all have to look the same.

 

[Entropy]

I'm hoping the packaging kicks ass and that we see it soon.

I hope it's got a 1930s, dusty, crate-ish vibe to it. And magnets please, no crappy velcro.

 

[The Josh]

Crate with magnets would rock.

 

[paulcarson]

" crates why did it have to be crates ? "

Seriously I think its a good idea. Especially when we come to other items such as the 1/6 ark.

 

[DarthNeil]

I hope it's got a 1930s, dusty, crate-ish vibe to it. And magnets please, no crappy velcro.

Awesome idea... The crate would be fantastic and really original.

 

[MaulFan]

I hope Sideshow has creative freedom with the packaging and LFL doesn't get all Nazi-esque and make all the packaging have to be the same for all high end products.

A silly point, but I wonder which portrait will be attached to the body in the package, I'd guess the hatless one.

This figure is probably the most exciting one pending along with Clone Obi-Wan as they're the first new body figures and I'm really anxious to see the quality and functionality on it like what the heads are made of and how easy swapping is.
