12" Indy In Adventure Gear: Raiders Version Discussion Thread

[IrishJedi]

Weren't there some issues with the bazooka/rocket launcher?

Well, yes... because the one in the film is a fictional weapon created by the prop department. It's basically an amalgam of a German panzerfaust and a later Russian RPG and never existed. I've been working on creating it custom, but haven't finished yet. I guess I'd better get off my duff soon and do it. I have all the pieces I need to custom-build one.

You're right Irish. I noticed the launcher Indy had looked a little like a Russian RPG-7, but it wasn't. He later uses the RPG in Crystal Skull.

I'd love one of those Raiders Nazi launchers Irish, if you ever cast them and make them. Let me know. Thanks!

Ahem, any chances of some casts of that? Really interested to see the recipe for German Indy when it's done as I really want that one myself. Those hatless heads are going to go veryy fast. Need one for German Indy, Map Room Indy, maybe a Prof Indy. I just want to see the Vintage line redone completely in SOME scale.

 

[IrishJedi]

Depending on how well it turns out and how plausible it would be to duplicate, sure, I'd be willing to cast it for Freaks. We'll see...

 

[JediMike71]

I plan on making a Professor Jones with the hatless head from my exclusive. I have to get the entire Giles from Buffy outfit for my Prof. Jones. The search begins...

 

[IrishJedi]

Sideshow still has Giles figures in-stock. For some reason, though, they're not available for Gift Card use.

 

[EVILFACE]

Wasn't Giles a character that those buffy fan clammored for and he still isnt sold out?

 

[CelticPredator]

McF's most requested figure was The Candyman...and those who collected Movie Maniacs can remember how well that sold...

Thats who I'm using to make mine. He was GC eligible till spook but isn't there now I don't think for some reason.

 

[CelticPredator]

Because they know what he can be used for....

 

[The Josh]

Solid guess I would say.

 

[JediMike71]

Exactly. They're getting smart to our ways!

I saw his entire outfit for about $40.00 loose over at www.toyanxiety.com. That's where I want to get it. Then, I'd have to get a body for it. Hmmm...

 

[IrishJedi]

You would still need more accurate eyeglasses than the ones Giles comes with.

 

[JediMike71]

What glasses should I use for a Professor Jones Irish? Let me know. I appreciate it.

I see Sideshow is still selling Giles for about $45.00. I might be better off getting him since he's already got the body too, and just switching the heads.

 

[icruise]

The head isn't compatible with the Giles body, is it?

 

[Odowankenobi]

Nope, it was confirmed earlier. The head isn't compatible with the Buck. But it will fit on a true-type. You might try picking one of those up.

 

[thenammagazine]

The Colt 1911 was a nice touch. It really shows how much they care about this figure with all the attention to even the smaller details.

Okay, I'll get the Giles outfit, and a Hot Toys True Type body for my Professor Jones custom. Thanks!

That's what I did... The headless True Type waits ghoulishly for Dr. Jones' head to arrive.

So you were able to get some shoes?
