I don't think it's getting a pass. Even those of us who don't think it's the worst Hot Toys offering ever have said it has issues and that they should be addressed.
I'm hoping tweaks and fixes are made, too. And, yes, it is overpriced at $250. But even if they didn't change a thing I still believe it's the best Indy figure out of the box we've seen yet. I'm keeping my order, and I'll either be disappointed with Hot Toys' overall efforts (given what they are capable of), or happy to have a truly hi-end 1:6 Indy figure in my collection.
I definitely don't think it's the worst HT's done, but it's been weird to see what they're capable of, then see something like this. I'm glad some of you are so optimistic that they'll change it...It gives me some hope.
