Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
I can't get over just how awesome this figure is! I've literally spent all day photographing and editing pictures together for a figure review, and I haven't had this much fun with a 1:6 scale figure in a long time! It's a real shame Sideshow got it together with this line just in time for it to essentially get abandoned.

It's definitely the best figure from the line I own.
One question, is everyone's Henry shorter than Indy?

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
I just got the exclusive version of this figure from Sideshow.
I really like it and I can see it has a lot of posing potential but something about it bugs me, and I am having trouble putting my finger on what it is.
It's a scale issue I think. Maybe head's a little to big. Maybe his necks a little too short.
I really think his legs look to long. Maybe it's the cut of the suit.
I suppose this has already been discussed, but I am just finding this thread now.
Any thoughts? Or is it just me?

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
Here are some possibilities:
1) The legs do look longer than they are because of the suit style.
2) He doesn't have a sculpted neck like other SSC figures, so it may look shorter.
3) The collar rides up higher.

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
The high coller is the one thing that helps sell this figure. I really miss the sculpted necks that the head sculpts featured on the Buck.
The more I look at this figure, the more I really appreciate it. Amazing job, Sideshow!

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
I think it may be number 1.
I'll have to check, but I don't remember the suit being that short.
I like the collar.
Also, I think part of the problem is that I temporarily have dim displayed next to a Hot Toys figure, and frankly, no SSC figure can compete with that level of realism.

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
That's the SSC ROTLA Indy right?
(I'm new to Indy collectibles.)
I just want a simple father son display and this one looks great!

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
Thanks!
Can't wait to get Indy then!
I have been futzing Henry SR and I think I have cleared up some of the scale stuff that was bothering me.
1) I made his legs "shorter" (pulled his pants down a bit
).
2) I "hemmed" his pants (e.g. folded them under).
3) I pulled his head up a little. Almost so that it would fall off if he tipped over.
I think it is a big improvement!
I still need to fix his collar a bit and rig his ankles so they are not so wobbly, but I really like this figure! And I'm glad I scored an exclusive with the second chance offer! The tablet is really cool!

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
Thank you! I really am enjoying him!
I was looking at the box and I think I figured out what is still bugging me. We kind of talked about it before: It's the jacket length.
Here is a comparison of the figure and the image on the box:
Look at the left arms.
The sleeve meets the bottom of the jacket on the box image, but the sleeve appears much longer (or rather, the bottom of the jacket is much shorter) on the actual figure. [Also it has one less button!]
I have yet to check the movie or screen caps to see what the actual jacket length was, but usually the sleeve on a suit coat should be several inches shorter than the bottom edge!

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
So the fact that the arm in the photo on the box is bent (pulling the case up) and the arm on your figure is straight with the case dangling has absolutely nothing to do with it then?

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
Point taken.
But seriously dude, that is not enough to account for the difference.
I gotta head to work right now, but when I have time I will take another pic to test your theory.
The bottom edge really is too short on the actual figure, I have no doubt.

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
Heck, ignore the arm and look at the difference in length between the bottom edge of the vest compared to the bottom edge of the coat.
Absolutely the coat is longer on the box pic!

Re: 12" Sideshow Henry Jones
Seriously dude, it is.
Have a gander at the product pics on Sideshow's website. Whether or not you think it's too short, it's the same coat that's in that pic. As for the vest, rotate the shoulders forward (you have them all the way back), to match the pose and you'll get the same result that's on the box. Looking at both figures (yours and box pic), the coat ends at the top of the leg and level with the groin on both.
