Hot Toys Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny

[Johnny Utah]

I would have liked a regular sculpt without hat but this is like Keaton in the cowl, it's his signature look.

Phenomenal. I'd love to see how they do the younger indy it will blow the DX05 out of the water. At the time you can see hot toys were still trying to work out the PERS with the likeness and on some it really detracts from the figures because it throws the likeness way off, eg the DX05 has sunken eyes. Now it seems every figure is gonna have rolling eyes at this point.

That really is a phenomenal sculpt, but I'm not likely to watch this film (at least not until it hits streaming and I'm bored) and like some others here, have no interest in aged Indy.

One more.

It really does looke good. Potential heartbreak lies in how soft it'll go in production and how much of that stunning detail may be lost.

 

[Nagoya]

The inevitable drop in quality from what we've already seen will make this figure that much more true to the film it's based on

Just hope they try to go for OG Indy and not de-aged Indy for the younger version.

He'd look even more off.

We could have a Mando luke situation on our hands also. That sculpt is the best we've gotten so I wouldn't be surprised if they still did a good job with young Indy.

OG Indy is de-aged Indy.

I could see them having him as one of their big Summer Showcase reveals like 'Indiana Jones 1944 version'.

Something makes me wonder.. if HT really had a young Indy in the works, I think they would realize it would undercut the sales for the old Indy.. lets face it, if had to pick just one, most will go with the young Indy.

I refuse to see the movie but still plan to pick this up

Yeah, if we get a younger Indy it’ll probably be a few months until it’s announced. They want to sell this version for the new film and if they announce both at once more people will buy the younger one. If they wait more people may buy both.

Yulli was the main sculptor for this. Now we know Harrison's older face gives the sculptor more to work with, the younger Ford from 77-84 era is still notoriously tricky to get right.

You guys are seriously missing out on a great movie. The more I think about it, the more I have to admit I really, really liked it.

Thumbs up for me too on Dial of Destiny it’s a classic 80s film-era adventure.

Yup, I'm with you guys! It wasn't perfect by any means. But it also wasn't all the arguably bad/negative stuff that was mentioned to be happening to the character way back when it was originally in production, which I was happy about. I stopped with spoiler type stuff early on though, so ppl who had been following every little leak/detail up to the film's release may not be as happy I was glad it wasn't as bad at KOTCS and for me, about on par with TLC.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Looks like the best Ford likeness to date from HT.
Not got much appetite for an old man Indy figure though.

Because it's not really Indiana Jones.

If a person is exposing themselves ahead of time to every spoiler for a film, then regardless of the film I think they are setting themselves up for a joyless experience.

Agreed. My curiosity won out to a spoiler-ish article way back when I think the first leaked image of Ford with the tracking dots on his face giving clues to him more than likely being de-aged in the film; and, that was enough for me to say "not going to click on anything else." My best friend won't even watch or read anything beyond the first full trailer for a movie as she doesn't want to go into it with any more than what was shown there.

I think that’s the way to go; they always seem to reveal too much in the second trailer for films, especially summer blockbusters. Having the events of a film unfold before you for the first time is a huge part of the experience; if a person has already exposed themselves to every twist and turn and created preconceived notions of how good or bad those things are based on online conversations, then they’ve ruined the experience for themselves or the ability to come to the kind of a genuine conclusion one can only have if they go into a film ‘blind’.
