HT DX05 - Indiana Jones - in-hand images

[swsqueakquels]

Ummm I think those on your side of the argument have done more than their fair share of "dumping" on the HT figure...let's try to keep it honest.
And I never said that the HT was perfect by any means...and I've dropped plenty of money on figures that weren't that great and remained impartial - I just choose to sell those figures. To make a statement like that is a bit condescending. Especially when from my side it appears that those of you on the other side have the same blind partiality regarding the SS sculpt.

You guys with your "sides." "Us HT guys... and you others." Dude... SSC, HT, Medi - who cares? And partiality? I just want an accurate Indy sculpt!

Do you ever stop to think how these flare ups start, and why criticism of the HT sculpt (not DUMPING - there is a difference!) has to be made in such situations?

And how does it start?

I think the SS sculpt looks bloated and waxy. HT kills it even with the repainted it still sucks.

Yeah I'm one of the few on here who can't stand the SS sculpt...

hell if theres a bandwagon i am on it......think the SS head is a whole lot of self delusion and back slapping but hey if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.... no harm

Hmm. Fun, isn't it? Until it's all put under the microscope and then the "well, the HT isn't perfect" and "I never said..." starts rolling in.

As Indy fans, we have little in terms of an accurate Indy headsculpt - and unfortunately, that includes both the SSC and HT releases. The HT release should have been - well, a HT release, a bullseye - and it disappointed, big time. "Best out of the box" is MILES from "OMG - stunning." That's what Jack Sparrow fans got. That's what Batman fans got. Etc.

It's when people wander in with their lazy comments about the SSC that I open the 24oz can of whup-*ss to remind them of the true - and pretty sad - state of affairs for Indy collectors.

And if that's condescending to you, then don't start making - and supporting - condescending remarks about a SSF contributor's work. And remember now - criticism and DUMPING are related, but very different.

We done yet?

Oh good God...yeah we're done bro. If saying that I can't stand a sculpt is "dumping" then guilty as charged. You sure taught me. These threads are full of these kind of remarks so good luck policing all of that champ. Nevermind the fact that people RAILED on Arnie after the HT sculpt was released. Were you defending him too? Nope.

That's NOT all you said...

That's that "supporting" part I mentioned.

And for the record, I only own the hatless SSC ROTLA Indy sculpt (paid around $12 from memory) and don't use it as my primary Indy sculpt.

All I'm saying is, understand the context - NONE of the headsculpts are all that great, so why single out the SSC for such scorn and ridicule?

 

[dsokyra]

well boo effing hoo...I stand by it. I do think it looks bloated and waxy. IT'S MY OPINION AND IM ENTITLED TO IT. People can say what they want about HT's sculpt, that's their opinion. It's gonna be ok bro, we'll get through this

 

[swsqueakquels]

well boo effing hoo...

Thanks for that. It's better than the usual "butt hurt" comments people use when they run out of comebacks!

GUILTY!

IT'S MY OPINION AND IM ENTITLED TO IT.

As the old saying goes, everyone's got one.

It's gonna be okay when we get an Indy sculpt that actually looks just like Indy (and from from every angle too!)

So let's tip our hats and say over and out... And we are... back on topic!

Such a diek move posting that horrible pic Touche...but at least I can admit it looks horrible there.

Diek - is that Dutch? Google translate can't seem to find it.

wouldn't let me write the actual word

Maybe the word was too long.

 

[dsokyra]

So do you honestly think that the Trevor sculpt looks like Harrison Ford? Or do you just defend it because you feel bad for Trevor if anyone trashes his sculpt?

 

[jedijim3002]

Sorry but no amount of arguing can reduce the bobble head size

 

[dsokyra]

This...

Or this...

 

[jedijim3002]

You have chosen ... Wisely.

Dyslexi-sokyra. That's quite a mouthful.

It just seems like you correct people an awful lot instead of agreeing and clarifying.

You have chosen ... Wisely.

...but at the same time, you... only look vaguely familiar...

Ha haaaa!!!! Touché sir. I like that. I only do that when I'm right. He he.

Perhaps the discussion of Sideshow and customizing the sideshow figure should be left in the sideshow thread or the customizing Sideshow thread. This thread should only be about the hot toys figure those who are happy with it. Back to hot toys Indy anyone?

I wonder if we'll ever get anymore Indy related figures, TOD Indy, Short Round, Dr. Henry Jones Sr., Marion Ravenwood, Willie Scott, or any of his villians?

 

[jedijim3002]

That would be awesome. I hope this is not another one and done from HT.

 

[Dollmanron]

I'd like a Dr. Henry Jones more than anyone else. I have the Medicom and its pretty good, wish I’d gotten the Sideshow one, but I didn't like the Sideshow Indy so I figured why buy it. A Hot Toys Sean Connery would be cool; I can see a lot of customs coming off of it.
