12" Sideshow Henry Jones Sr

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones

I just think the medicom version looks better. Don't expect me to start a SS vs. Medi debate because I could care less.

I'm just interested in why you think the Medicom is better?
What looks better? All of it ? The sculpt? What?
I'm not trying to argue with you.

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones

I ordered him even though I originally didn't have any interest in him. I really was going to pass on him, trying to be conservative with my purchases. But once I saw the pics and the accessories, I had to place my order. I figure I can always cancel if I find myself broke at shipping time.

Ditto, my friend.

Uh... have you not seen the Indy as German Soldier figure? This one has 10x more value than that.

oh you are right, I completely forgot about that one.

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones

That's a small part. You can have an expressive sculpt without posed eyes. The issue with Leia, and I was very vocal, is that because the eyes are permanently painted looking in one direction, you can't pose her from a number of angles. Straight staring eyes, unless you can pose the eyes like HT's DX Joker or Enterbay figures, is the best look for posability.

However, there are some sculpts that are even lifeless, that's when it's not as great. There are a number of great sculptors out there, but one thing that I love about Trev is not only his technical skill to capture the likeness, but he's very good at working subtle emotion into his portraits that captures the character without being so extreme it makes you think oh that's specific to one scene. Henry's got that sort of condescending look on him, totally the character, but it isn't just one scene or moment that it represents, it's essentially him the whole movie and who he is deep down, it's perfect.

Hellboy bust comes to mind as a perfect example.

That's a good question. It may have been posted earlier in the thread, but you can view Trevor's unpainted sculpt here:

I was certain I was not going to get Henry... but now I'm not so sure. I kind of want it now.

The pro makes him look a bit squatty, but the sculpt looks marvelous!

Looks amazing really. Sculpt is spot on and the suit looks quite good. Comes with a ton of stuff which is fantastic. I used my RP on him and got it for $75.

I don't see this stopping SS from making a TLC Indy though.

I think they will definitely make a TLC Indy he will just be very bare bones. Unles HE comes with the Vase.

Vase, Machine Gun, normal indy items, etc.

Low quantity alert on Henry.

Maybe Sideshow will throw in the motorcycle with Indy as an exclusive. That'd be awesome.

That would be a great Ex. Would be quite creative but a freaking great choice.

My faith in this line has been fully restored. I think Sr. looks great!

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones

Like a lot of others on this forum I had no intention of buying Henry Sr. Now, I'm not sure I can live without him! He looks awesome! I love the sculpt and accessories! I wonder if they will just have the one Indy as "THE" Indy. The fact that it says "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on the box leads me to believe there will be others. Otherwise, all TLC Indy needs is Belloq's machine gun and a black tie. The lighter would be a fun custom. I'm sure there are 1/6 Zippos out there!

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones

There are in fact 1/6 zippos out there.. DML included one with a Vietnam era figure as well as a WW2 Marine I believe.

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones

Damn, that raw sculpt is spot on... I imagine this will be another cast-in-color and if it turns out as nice as Gandalf I think we'll have a winner.

Would have preferred a sculpted neck (extra stubble and old man details) but the suit covers up enough that I don't think it will be an issue.
