Hot Toys DX05- Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark) 1/6 Figure Full Specs + Pics

[Calcifer]

Yeah, I figure OMG's pics are giving us a look of the figure in the most flattering way possible, and it's just not even close. I am considering keeping the PO for the map-room look (just keep his face covered as much as possible) and to replace my Sideshow clothes with the DX clothes, but I hate the message I'm sending to HT by doing that

And I completely agree with the Mike. PERS sucks ass. I think the flaws with this sculpt go well beyond that, but I'm also confident that the PERS makes things worse than they would have otherwise been. Most of the people clamoring for "DX figure X" just want a fancy figure with nifty accessories. There aren't many people around here going nuts over the googly eye gimmick anymore based on my observations. Do away with it! I don't think it's a coincidence that DX Joker, Michael Jackson, this, and Luke are some of the worse likenesses we've seen from HT in the last few years. Toss out the light up figures and other gimmicky crap while you're at it, if you please.

I have to disagree with that one! ..MJ is there best pers sculpt, and one of there best sculpts overall IMO.

I'm not sure that your wife is the one that should be worrying about that, honestly.

wait

Wow,
that last batch of pics are pretty awful...
looks like he has eyeliner...
The PERS definitely hurt this figure a lot...
but I think OMG pics make him look a lot better,
I'm still excited about this!

I wish I could say the same, Jose.

I am literally out of control laughing my ass off at all these pics and comments.

I just can't....this is the funniest ____ ever from HT and this forum's reaction.

His face/pers will go down in history as the best toy to laugh at, ever!

Just look at that mug.....

sucky sucky = LOL

Riddick, I may be mistaken but i recall you speaking of replacing the head and going th custom route ..with that said, please explain your signature!?

Although a bit grainy, I think these are among the more flattering pics I've seen. Ligthing and positioning I guess have alot to do with assessing this fig. I think though for the view of your pics the hat looks GREAt and positioned where I'd position it. The haircut in the hatless pics can distract from the face, but for the most part thats cause it was meant to accomodate the hat. In most of the pics that i've seen the eyeliner is of concern. I wonder if it can be cleaned up with some nail polish remover. Could it be dulled or faded ?

Since we have established that my photos suck, let’s see some more from today. I now get that they are going for an “Opening Sequence” Indy, when he first uses the whip, if this figure resembles anything, it is that variation. I am starting to see Indy in there, but again, when compared with the Christopher Reeve Superman, this is a let down.

God damn, these look HORRIBLE. Really wondering why I'm still debating the whole thing now.

Having said that, he would need a LOT of work.

Then again, I spent a lot upgrading the Sideshow Indy:

explain your signature!?

It screams ARNIE KIM SUCKS in my miserable opinion

 

[Kamandi]

I don't know if it's the tilted hat or the eyeliner, but suddenly I hear Duran Duran's 'Hungry like the Wolf' in my head.

 

[a-dev]

For the first time ever on any Hot Toys figure I think the prototype looked better....oh except maybe the Berserker Predator which was suitably bigger at prototype stage than the figure ended up being.

 

[Calcifer]

Is that full Kato gear?^^^

 

[faststreetsofhongkong]

JimmyC,

Thanks (everyone else hates my pics and wants me dead).

I don't want to hate this piece. I love Indy and hope that something good besides spare parts for our custom Indy's can come out of this.

 

[FLOSI]

If memory serves, your SS Indy only kept the SS head, right?

You might want to add "sucks" in there, I honestly thought you were a fan of the sculpt looking at your sig, then i started reading your posts and I got confused!

That's the second point of this sig, you know...

If your question is directed at me, no, but Kato is a friend here in HK. Sean Ho did the hat revision and the paint job (on the custom Sideshow Indy that is) ...

too much manscara in the latest pics.

I will be happy to own it. All the pics with different lighting showcases different features however, on a detolf 4 - 6 ft away it will have a nice shelf presence. I use Wolverine as my reference which has little resemblance to Jackman. On the shelf, it looks amazing. Up close, I will be forever reminded of Duran Duran.
