HT DX05 - Indiana Jones - in-hand images

[Superman]

Rzeznikk asked in the post below if there were any other pictures of a bloated Indy. So I showed one. Simple as that. You guys are not reading the entire context as to why it was posted again.

This will be pretty funny if dsokyra's pictures end up looking so great due to lens distortion.

And again, like I said did I ever say it was 100% perfect? No. Then you go on and on and on and on. Give it a rest.

Now, now... Don't be the ref that throws the flag against the second guy. Deal with the problem at the source if you want order restored.
Then again, I can't be the only one who now has 'Superman' on Ignore, can it? And that's crazy, because I have only ever put one other person on that list.

Please delete it all including my post, just so long as I don't have to keep looking at that picture

I wish I could. All I can do here is give infractions. Report the posts you want deleted.

I'm tossing a flag on all of you. You all be the better people and ignore his/her posts for the love of god. That way the problem is easier to take care of.

Josh, if you go back to Rzeznikk's post asking me about an early picture of the problem, I simply responded with what was asked for.

Ok I had to catch up on all these posts...I'll post more pics after work. I don't know if there are different batches of sculpts...that theory seems kinda off to me, but I could be wrong...I will say that I believe its all in the positioning of the eyes...if not positioned correctly it doesn't look like Ford. I'll literally be moving the PERS around and suddenly I hit the sweet spot and he looks life-like and Ford-like...as for the camera distortion issue, I addressed this pages ago...yes, if you take pics up close the camera tends to make his jaw protrude and his face seem longer...it does not look this way in hand. I'll get some far away pics up ASAP guys...until then debate away

Please close this thread, apparently DC now has the rights to Indy.

 

[Wor-Gar]

dsokyra -- help!

 

[Superman]

dsokyra -- help!

LOL.. Help me dsokyra, you're my only hope..lol.. It's funny how he comes and goes like that..

 

[Wor-Gar]

Let's go back to the specific pics in question -- the ones that gave rise to the 'good/bad' sculpt possibility...

Lol I have a job fellas...gotta make the cash to afford my man dolls

 

[RIDDICK]

For the love of God.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN I feel it in the same way

The Lee had various size head-sculpts as well that was confirmed. This seems to be a more common issue with the PERS heads perhaps.

Maybe the hollowness inside the PERS head and the way the plastic dries creates the slightly different shaped widths? Seems plausible to me.

Thanks. We all want the best possible likeness of Indy.

Oi, those are my heads!

I'm not saying my custom will be any better than anyone else's and never have. What I'LL have is something that to MY eyes looks better than the HT one.

We are all entitled to our own opinion on this figure and if that conflicts with anybody else's then so be it. At the end of the day it's a 1/6th figure and not something worth causing wars over. If you like it, all well and good, but don't come in all guns blazing when somebody doesn't share your views.

Nobody should ever be afraid to say what they think

Those pics are gone. Truth be told, I had trouble seeing a significant difference in those pics. But I do see a substantial difference in dsokyra's pics. His are the ONLY ones.

EDIT: just saw Rzez' post - yes, I see the slightly cheeky Indy looking less like Ford, but I don't know how apparent that will be in hand with nothing to compare it to.

See I would have been fine with the one on the left if that was all we ended up with, but seeing as there is a better mass produced head from HT out there too, of course I will want the better of the two. So hopefully SS batch wont be seeing the one on the left.

I agree, but still, you'd have to put the head on the left on a body and position it EXACTLY like the other one to do a fair comparison...lighting angles and the camera can play tricks...

 

[Mad Old Lu]

This is the pic that has me concerned:

That could just be the slightest of difference in the tilt of the head on the left. It looks like it could be just a teeny bit leaning back, making the chin more protruded, as compared to the one on the right.

Which is all that more annoying because with just the slightest angle, and I mean like a millimeter, and you have HF's stuntman instead of HF.
