HT DX05 - Indiana Jones - in-hand images

Sounds like she enjoys torturing you.

Yes, she does indeed. I just got off the phone with her and she said she was going to take a nap. I asked her if she wouldn't mind staying up and she said, "Oh don't worry, Zachary (our 4 yr old) can answer the door"...meanwhile I was checking tracking on UPS, only to discover that it had already been delivered! Evil, evil woman! She promised not to hide it though, which means she is probably searching for a really good place to hide it as I type this.

Not bad.... But there's no way I'm even thinking of doing that eye mod.

The face should be longer. Sigh....

I've got the Map Room environment on pre-order & cant wait. I was just planning to put the Map Room outfit on my Sideshow figure. I imagine it'll at least partially cover the mannequin-like head. Or I may just buy a loose HT Indy head from TA or off eBay and put it on a TT body. But I doubt I'll buy a second HT figure set. Hard to justify that.

That damn thing is just too big for my collection room/display space right now. Still, it looks really cool, and represents one of my favorite sequences in ROTLA. I love the music from that scene too.

I just emailed BBTS to get an estimated time for processing too, FYI.

Who or what's TA. Sorry I'm new to this!

Rich, don't expect a useful response. They've always given me stock answers that "we will ship these out as soon as our supplier is able to . . .blah blah blah."

Who or what's TA. Sorry I'm new to this!

Toy Anxiety. They sell parted out figures (including accessories, clothing, etc.).

Thanks for the info!

Haha...it is good to keep things fun at home. At least your wife appears to not throw a fit when you buy figures. I'm trying to justify getting this because frankly, it'll go right into storage along with everything I've bought in the past year. Its almost a crime to have to keep this guy in the box and in the storage.

To be honest I don't think the photo looks like Indy!

 

[Superman]

To be honest I don't think the photo looks like Indy!

LOL... So now actual photographs of Indiana Jones in real life just don't look like Indy anymore. You guys have been staring at the Hot Toys figure for too long...

Is that Jeff Goldbloom on the right?

 

[YoNoSe]

Canceled. And threw out DVD.

 

[galactiboy]

Ordered and then cancelled just so I could say I cancelled it

That new pick from Tinister with the Eye mod does look much better, but its still pretty off.

 

[venturluni]

Thanks for the info!

Actually I take back m last comment. Just watched the start of Raiders on the train coming home it really is him!

 

[venturluni]

And realised I'm crap at this forum lark!

 

[FLOSI]

Jeff Goldblum played Indy?

I thought he played Marrion?

Stop bullying us!

On the positive, If your taking all this abuse from her, it must mean shes a WILDCAT in her "marital duties"

Typical SUPER LAME response from BBTS:

Hi,

We unfortunately do not have any more accurate arrival date information on this product, sorry. Manufacturers often do not tell us when items will be ready until the items are either in transit to us or about to ship to us. Manufacturers also often experience delays in the production or shipping of products so its hard to establish a specific release date. We will update our listings if more specific release & arrival information is known.

Thanks!

Freakin' Rita, I swear! You need to talk to Karen.

All you need to do is buy an Indy head and put it on any similar sized bodytype, cover it with the robe you already have (use cotton for filler) and use the extra hands you get since 95% of the body is covered (also buy the bag) and you have yourself another Indy without having to shell out another $250 or so.

Ahh....thanks superman, what was I thinking
It is a solid figure with nice accessories, but not a home run.
I'll be doing that. Mind you, it will be interesting to see what this made-up Indy will cost in parts
HT head
Pants
Shoes
Body

I'd image half price the orig figure?
