OMG said he's the same price as ThorSqueak for me!Within reason, Indy needed (needs) tweaking...the circumference of a shield when someone is just eye-balling it...not so much. Oh and Cap better not cost 2 hundee.

Look, I agree with you guys that the figure looks awesome as is, and I would be thrilled if the figure came out just like he looks in these pics. But it doesn't hurt anything to notice and report a few tweaks IMO. . .until we start getting pages and pages focused on photoshop mods, petitions, polls, etc., I think we might be jumping the gun with the outrage over a pic showing that the shield is too small
And yeah, I know I've contributed to the ridicule in some way. . .damn my conflicting roles!
DEVIL666...assemble!
If they don't fix that it'll be an easy pass for me. I'm not stuffing anymore of my figures' crotches.
Awesome!!!!

Poifect! And who is OMG?
Probably Angelica from Pirates, one of the Sucker Punch chicks and hopefully Solid Snake
That's right. Angelica, for sure. Maybe Cannibal Jack also since they have shown the throne. Sucker Punch would be a good guess too. Now that Cap is out my year can be complete as I can pass on any of those others.
Solid Snake should be a VGS release and a must buy for me as well though. I already have 8 figures on PO, not counting Cap. I could use a breather.
OMG is a guy living in (I think) Hong Kong who always gets the early scoop and takes awesome pics. Search for his posts and see for yourself.

I just don't want that type of crap to get started, IMO it's silly and borders on OCD...so I do like Barney Fife...

It would be awesome if Cap came at the same price point as Thor

I dont think anyone has expressed sincere "outrage" over the shield.
It's hard to be upset with HT over anything having to do with this figure, its just so damn stunning overall.
It really is a marvel of 1/6th craftsmanship. To be able to pull off that real world costume at this scale is a testament to HT's artists.
I think it actually looks better overall than the screen version
It almost borders on ingratitude to take issue with the shield but it does indeed seem to be on the small side.
It also seems like a fairly easy fix comparatively speaking, given how intricate the rest of the figure is.
The real mind boggler is that the Indy figure had so many issues and that was a 1/3 of the complexity of this figure easily.

Right. Maybe Indy got the "B" team?
