12" Indy In Adventure Gear: Raiders Version Discussion Thread

[DarthNeil]

Come on...

Toht! Toht! Toht! Toht!

Perfect time for a ghoulish Toht with alternate melting head.

A Freak's run is a good idea if Shawn would be up for it. I wonder how many people would want one.

Les and I have been arm twisting Shawn for months now. He did mention if he does a Freaks run, they would be very limited. He would probably need a SSC Indy Figure with new Prom body to Customize a Jacket to exacting details.

I'll try to get an update soon.

I thought he might need a Prom to fit it to. Well, like I said, I sent him a pm too so maybe if we gang up on him he'll do it.

His jacket is still by far the best one out there... I have no illusions Sideshow's will be as good.

Ya think?

 

[galactiboy]

Hey it could be worse... I'm kind of in the camp that if its good enough I'll probably live. But still if Shawn does offer a run of jackets I'll most likely have to cave-in.

 

[JediMike71]

Me too. I really don't want my Indy to have one of those cheap plastic looking jackets. I'd be willing to get one from Shawn if he did make one.

 

[nervecenter0]

Just got an email form Sideshow, stating 'still in production, should be available November', which is as definite an answer they ever give. So hopefully the US will have it by then, the UK, well 'Santa' may bring it!

 

[Mudshark]

I'm also in a tentative wait and see mode, but if Shawn does agree to make some jackets, I'll more than likely want one of his no matter what.

 

[stshammgod]

I don't mind the wait, but SOME news from SS would be more than nice.

Well, I guess a LITTLE news from Sideshow is better than no news at all. Thanks for the info. Hopefully he will finally ship out next month. "Fingers crossed"!

Ya think?

I thought the jacket looked pretty nice. I don't see anything wrong with it honestly. If it comes out like that I'll be just fine with it.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, I don't see any issues with the jacket, especially for the price of the figure it looks like a home run to me.

 

[Ven]

jacket looks good to me too.. what I really dislike is the two piece neck.. dammit why'd this figure?

 

[galactiboy]

I'm not a huge fan of 2-piece necks either. But if they do a good job of color matching and keeping from the harsh neck cut (like Medicom does) it can be alright. I think if the rumor is true and Indy is a cast in color head this would go a long way to improving the transition from head to neck.

And I agree, if the jacket looks like the proto it should be okay. I've just seen Sideshow drop the ball on leather jackets a few too many times to feel confident.

 

[The Josh]

I'd say Indy's head will be just like Obi-Wan with the HT styles so it should be ok.

 

[Billy Ray]

I personally don't see anything wrong with the proto jacket either. It could stand a bit of weathering, but for the scale I think it looks fine. I have both the Relic Hunter and Medicom Indy jackets and the proto Sideshow jacket easily tops of either one. I wonder if it will be lined like those though? Both of them are lined and have functioning pockets! Not that you will probably ever see them or use them, but it is a nice touch.

 

[Ven]

I use to love that neck style, but now I've grown a strong dislike for them..

 

[paulcarson]

the jacket will look fine once it has been weathered and made to look worn .

 

[The Ringer]

Ya think?

Jacket is perfect!

I would even wear it.
