Well, I finally got my HT Indy and I have to say that it's pretty much how it looks in the bad pics. At least the one I got does. He looks marginally better in the day time. But once the room lights go on in the evening, it looks like how it does in the bad pictures--dark eyeliner, weird likeness, etc.
The jacket fits horribly. The body is much too buff for it, and it's hard to futz with the jacket because the sleeves are so tight on the huge arms. His shirt collar is too big, which also makes it hard to futz. What's worse is that the jacket collar is too small (or probably just right), so that incongruity between the small jacket collar sitting on top of the huge shirt collar makes it a PITA to fix. The bag strap, and particularly the gun holster feel very cheap. And I'm not loving the braided whip.
All that said, I'm not that disappointed in him because I pretty much could see all those deficiencies (except the quality of the bag strap and gun holster) through the photos here. So I knew just what to expect. The photos are pretty much accurate. The difference between real life and the pics is only slight.
Honesty the likeness doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Like I said, it might be because I had already reconciled that from seeing all the photos. What bothers me most is the way the clothes fit. I'm having a hell of a time trying to get him to look good. Futzing with the Sideshow figure was not nearly as difficult.
And unfortunately the cylinder from the revolver was missing. I'll try and contact Hot Toys and see if they can send me a replacement.
