Hot Toys DX Indiana Jones announced + Star Wars teaser

[small_studios]

The sculpt isn't horrible but the rest is a complete flop. If you think it looks good your trying to hard to convince yourself that it is.......This figure looks cheap in so many ways its almost funny.

Looks more like the Jim Steranko concept art than anything.

LOL yeah, exactly what I said a few pages back.

I almost wish they'd put a black jacket on this figure and launch a 'concept line' of early incarnations of famous characters.

An original concept art Darth Vader would be very cool.

Assuming he doesn't have a magnetized neck, I would probably just switch this guy over to a regular True Type and not worry about the muscle body. I just wouldn't show too much chest. But yeah, the thick neck is just wrong and pretty distracting.

I don't think this figure or the kit that comes with it looks cheap at all, however, there are two main problems I see (as most have already noted):

1) the hat doesn't sit right on the head and appears oversized
2) the neck appears too thick/stubby for the head

At least, these are the biggest issues I have with the figure. They are fixable and ultimately won't be the deal breakers for me on this figure (the price might be, but we'll see).

Arnie confirmed 33 mins ago on Facebook that he is revisiting the sculpt.

The hat is attached to the Hair and swaps over to the other hair piece, so the PERS control must be accessible that way

I was quite negative about the hs before but I think there 99% there now. So HT are going to be getting more of my money & I didn't think they would with this one. Oh well, when are these up for preoreder then?

 

[Murderofcrows71]

Looks like John Stamos in an Indy costume. Just my observation, but I'm hoping HT pulls this one off somehow. Was hoping it'd be the Grail of my collection. Now, just hoping for some big improvements

 

[Johnny Utah]

Very true. Arnie will show us the way.

 

[FLOSI]

Awesome. I could kiss you Dino.

 

[The Josh]

I think I will wait to even think about ordering this until I see his redo on the sculpt.

 

[thenammagazine]

Awesome. I could kiss you Dino.

I wouldn't hold my breath until in hand pics hit and we see a noticeable improvement, which I highly doubt is going to happen. I'm betting Sideshow will throw in a NRD just to ____ those preordering hoping that this $250 badboy will have a better sculpt. In the end you'll have to decide whether or not to bite on a sub-par likeness or toss away the NRD.

I won't be going through SS anyway, unless there's some kind of really cool EX.

The hope that there could be an improved sculpt is enough to keep me on board right now.

And you were doubting the $250. I've had this pegged from the very first announcement. Shoddy likeness and $250 pricetag.

 

[galactiboy]

Wow... $250 is a very hard pill to swallow.

Sure you can get him for 10% less at a retailer ($220 at BBTS); but even then I think I'll just stick with customizing the Sideshow figure.

Yup. Especially now. Picking it up for $50 and dumping in $100 in upgrades and you have a superior figure for $100 less than this.
