Indiana Jones in German Disguise 12-inch Figure

[Mighty_Jabba]

And the camera guy looks pregnant.

Isn't that Mr Spielberg himself?

 

[Khev]

Shoot there's a limit of only two German Indy's per customer? I wanted to buy at least five.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Don't think so. Looks like Ford might be talking to him offscreen.

 

[The Josh]

Didn't notice before and not exactly a deal breaker 4 me at least.

Maybe SS will pull a Hasbro and cancel this figure. Would that make you all happy? Maybe they should just cancel the line too and blame the fans for lack of support like Hasbro did. Face it, it was never going to have the legs of Star Wars. If this line has only 7 figures like LOTR so be it. ANYTHING in addition to Adventure Indy is just gravy at this point. This was obviously a quick money grab like Ep II Obi-Wan that requires little R&D or manufacturing time to offer something to the fans unlike LOTR which had NO offerings for 9 months in between. Not every figure can be as intricate as Vader or a Stormtrooper and Indiana Jones is populated with normal plain human characters. You think German Indy is dull on accessories, what would Marion Ravenwood come with other than the headpiece of Ra necklace and a shot glass? I'm sure IF Marion is offered you will all complain how generic and dull she is. If they offer Indy in a tux or TOD Indy you will all complain of Indy overkill. Can this line ever really satisfy anybody? The answer is obviously a big NO.

 

[The Mike]

Well what this line HAS done is obviously get a lot of fanboys's panties in a bunch.

Hey genius, you do realize that Ep II Obi wasn't just a "quick cash-in" of Clone Obi, right? That the figure had been in R&D and the prototype likely ready before they even offered CloneObi? Or do you just enjoy reading the fart-winded content of your own posts?

 

[kl241]

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Ep II Obi is the same headsculpt as Clone Obi and that the clothing is reused from ROTS Obi, or that your posts are completely full of s***.

You must really enjoy the taste of your own toejam as you constantly put your feet in your mouth. The sculpt of Obi was was actually commissioned for Ep. II Obi and re-used FOR the CloneObi. Not the other way around. Not only that but the lightsaber and belt were also done for Ep. II Obi with the lightsaber reused for CloneObi. The belt clip on CloneObi's saber hilt should've been a big clue to that.

FYI. The clothing for the EPII obi is absolutely NOT reused from ROTS. Entirely different fabric. Its also slightly different cut to match the AOTC look.

 

[MANDO]

I noticed it. Normally its not the biggest deal breaker, but considering its the ONLY accessory he comes with.......

Yeah, I almost expect him to be shipped in a two part cardboard coffin box like the GI Joes from the 60s. Then you'd REALLY have to wonder where that extra $$$ went. How long before we get LC Indy with a new tie and machine gun?

So... being wrong on all counts, all you've proven here bub is that it doesn't take a genius to talk out your ass. Something we already know every time we read one of your posts.


And to get back on topic:

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they offered a TLC Indy, rehashing a barebones version of the Adventure Gear Indy with just the tie (a reused Reservoir Dogs tie) and MP40 (reused from Belloq) and slapped another $20 on the tag because of the extra accessories.

You must really enjoy the taste of your own ^^^^ in your mouth to quote yourself in the same post. By your same argument that you can kit bash a German Indy for less than what Sideshow is charging you can bash your own Ep II Obi for less. Who cares if the fabric on the tunic is different. It looks relatively the same.

That wasn't your point and it doesn't take a genius to know that people don't see that. Again, you've brought nothing to the thought factory here except hot air. And guess what? Get your quarter ready because you're overdue to hit up the pump at the gas station for a refill as you're wrong yet again. The EpII Obi's worst case scenario, you'd still need to buy both a Clone Obi and ROTS Obi and a TT to put it all on. That's WAY more expensive than buying the regular one from SS. Best case scenario, you have to buy the headsculpt $30 at TA, and still buy an ROTS Obi ($40 if you're lucky) and a $30 TrueType to put it on. Again, still more expensive than just buying Sideshows.

You really should just stop.

You are wrong. You got pwnd! Just move along!

Going back on topic for a minute, people have complained about the high price of this figure, but doesn't that reflect the fact that the edition size will probably be tiny and/ or they won't sell that many of them at full price? If that's the case then I'm okay paying more if it keeps the line alive, as long as the quality is okay, although I can understand not everyone will feel that way. If this figure was going to sell 10000 and they priced it at $90, then I'd be upset.

 

[Mighty_Jabba]

I ordered him. I can't argue that $90 is a bit much for what we're getting, but it's a version of Indy I wanted, and I think he looks good.

One strange thing I noticed is that this is slated for a 4th quarter release, which means there is no Indy figure for the 3rd quarter.

Yeah I've noticed that too. So I guess this means no more 1/6 Indy figures this year

Dude!!!!!! Read a page back.

I detailed some logic. Feel free to take a shot at it...but here goes my thought.

1.Price+Quality=Value

2.Perceived good value = lots of sales

3.Edition size is not yet determined, therefore it will be set by the results of the preorder: Bad sales set low edition size, good sales set high edition size.

4.SSC CAUSEDbad sales by undermining value via a high price.

5.High price=low sales=high price is a circular self fulfilled prophecy thus its not an excuse for low sales!

 

[dharper]

SSC has a fullproof excuse built in when it doesn't sell well. They just limit the run and all the apologists can simply claim that because its so limited that they had to set a high price!

But the fact is, the run is TBD. So if SSC really wanted they could have priced this much lower, sold a ton and thus the low cost becomes justified.

Really, SSC made a selffulfilling prophecy by pricing it so ******* high.

It didn't take long for this to come true.

Well since they're the ones setting the edition size, they're setting the price. So it's kinda fixed either way you look at it. But again, Lando was cheaper, has a small ES and comes with more accessories. So who knows what they were thinking?!

Well, maybe, maybe not. This might actually be a "HEY THE INDY LINE AIN'T DEAD YET!" announcement to generate/maintain interest in the 1:6 line (though it might very well be the one that kills it), with German Disguise Indy being something they were planning to release later (SDCC) but had ready due to the ease of production while another, more substantial release finishes prototype completion.
