They're using the same photos as before, so it looks like they sorted the licensing out.
It looks exactly the same in Sideshow's listing.
All that for nothing.
Oh well... let the Hot Toys Ford flow...

The bags under his eyes look the same too...

For some reason SS isn't working for me. I'll preorder the deluxe there also but will probably keep my po with Kit.

The site died.

What’s up with the sideshow hate? They’re MUCH better than ordering on other websites

Apparently the site went down due to the Santa Ana winds, but it came back up a little while ago.
In general, a lot of collectors don't like that sideshow charges a relatively high shipping price w/o double boxing included while other retailers charge equal or even lower shipping rates than SS while including double boxing. Also, a lot of collectors don't like being charged tax if you're in the US or other fees if you're international from SS. There are still some places to order that won't charge you tax on top of the MSRP+shipping. Lastly, lots of folks are choosing to go with overseas retailers as they're paying the same or even less than what SS charges, getting the figure faster and typically paying no extra fees like tax/VAT.
I will say that on higher priced items, I tend to prefer to order from SS or US retailers that get their stock from SS in the event I get a defective figure. They make it pretty easy to get a replacement
EDIT: and as @Entropy mentioned below, the RPs now expire, so you can't just keep stacking them up for a big purchase any longer. The RPs system seem to only really be especially beneficial if you pretty much only buy all your collectibles direct from SS.

It's back up. I'll still preorder him there but I really hope the figure does good enough to warrant a young 1944 Indy as I imagine everyone will want that or a LC Indy.

Ordered.
Ordered the regular from SS (still have a deluxe from KG Hobby which I'll maybe just keep for parts)
Ordered the deluxe version, finally! Sideshow's website sucks right now!
Just ordered the deluxe. Good timing on this, between the $70+ in rewards I accumulated in the past 5 days and a $20 Thank You code that was about to expire. But I'm already back up to $2 in rewards again lol.

still hoping they give us a young Indy from the film if we can't get one from ToD, TLC or a much needed RotLA redo.
Yea I'm thinking of ordering the deluxe for parts. I definitely want the shirt (or at the very least the shirt buttons) to put on my SS TOD Indy as well as the deluxe base. While the hat appears to be pretty small for this one, I do wonder if it would be a good size for the smaller SS TOD headsculpt. Shoes and whip from this will be used to upgrade the DX05 ones I'm still using for my ROTLA Indy. I have the PICKZ boots, but haven't even tried them out yet.

I'd love to be able to use this for a TLC Indy, but the shirt and pant colors just look completely wrong for that. And I haven't had the slightest urge to rewatch the movie since it came out on streaming, so that probably rules out getting it for his DOD look.
The pants look like they might be decent for Raiders, maybe too dark but similar in tone to the Sideshow TOD pants. In either case the full figure will probably just represent a generic old Indy to go with old Han.
