HT DX05 - Indiana Jones - in-hand images

[bmarz1000]

I snagged a head and boots from TA. The HS was $49.99. Boots were $19.99.

Where those pics?

 

[MarfMaster]

seriously wish I had bought about 4 or 5 pairs of Aldens from TA when I could have

I thought I would be happy with my Newlines, but I'm definitely thinking of trying to snag a pair of the DX boots.

I now know why there aren't any pics of the arab disguise. Boy is it a pain to put the turban on.

Anyway here is a couple of quick pics to show the sculpt on mine:

Initial thoughts - shame the bag strap cannot be adjusted as I think it is a hair too long. The web belt is very difficult to remove because the metal end is a very tight fit through the belt loops. The magnets on the non hat hair and on the headsculpt were unstuck on mine - will have to glue them back on. Jacket is really nice and very maleable - not sure it is real leather feels pleather to me. Boots are real nice and the cream stripes quite subtle in person.

Thanks for your thoughts, Cavlcade. Interesting about the bag strap.

 

[MarfMaster]

This figure has a lot to live up to with your customs, Cavlcade. Glad you're enjoying it.

Ok, I found him! I snapped one quick shot, right out of the box. Will take more later, but I gotta go play:

Gotta say, I am pretty darn impressed right now. I agree with everything Cavlcade just said.

 

[Cavlcade]

I'm really digging it at the moment and keeping him box fresh for now. In a couple of days or so I will start to port over some of the nicer elements from the other figure - holster, shirt, maybe jacket. I prefer the HT trousers to Kato's though so they will stay on the KOTCS bash.

I have a spare head coming from TA which I plan on dismantling and touching up the stubble on.

Wow!!
Great pics!!
The first one reminds me of this:

Wonder when AE starts shipping these...

 

[Craze]

Nice shots guys... I would say the head sculpts are the same as mine from those photos. I don't see the dreaded "guyliner' showing up much either. I agree with the bag strap comment and the jacket should be very easy to manipulate and add the desired amount of folds.

First pic is EPIC- no doubt about it- Indy all the way!!!

Face looks fuller in bright light or with flash, while darker pics seem to make him look narrower.

Awesome, I was close to picking up a pair a while back but was hoping the HT pants would be comparable

I actually start to like the sculpt then someone posts a side by side shot next to Ford and reality hits me in the face letting me know that the sculpt is off in so many ways. Thanks reality thanks

If the thread goes too long without actual pics of Ford, my brain starts to morph my memory of his face into this sculpt

 

[Wor-Gar]

Its true. I do like the sculpt a lot better than when I actually see Ford next to it.

 

[Cavlcade]

not even a little?

That's a nice shot, has a 30's feel, like Marion's bar.
