The zoom is distorting the whole structure of the face.
Honestly, I'm surprised Sideshow stuck with the license as long as they have, considering every other company dropped the Indy license like a hot potato years ago. And I'm really grateful that they stuck with it. It's clear Indy collectors are few compared to the popularity of their other licenses, but we've gotten some great pieces from them. I never thought I'd have a Fertility Idol, Ark or Indy statues in my collection. Personally, I'm not complaining.
WOW!!! Is the MKVII bag REALLY on the wrong side of his body? And again with the snaps on the storm flap! Lucusfilm must have a mandatory "snaps on every version of Indy's jacket proviso" written into their licensing contract. Not to mention his jacket's supposed to be zipped up. Other than that it looks like it could be a winner.
Well on this one, particularly if it is 1/5 scale, SSC outpriced themselves. But like the Disney license, this license was really underused. If these things are selling out I'd say there is a large propularity, particularly for Grove's work. However, I agree, that Marvel and DC are the two licenses getting all the fanboy love on here.
From straight on, I think it looks just like Harrison Ford, side profile is probably his weakest likeness angle but it's still not bad... To the HT fans, yes it's not as good as the Hot Toys likeness but then again it doesn't have joints all over the place either and this one has a horse
These pics are all zoomed as well. Is it the same guy again? To be honest, I'd return it if it looked like any of these pics in person, which it won't. But didn't Trevor sculpt this? I thought I saw his name on it. So I am not sure why the face isn't better. I'm sure as heck not going to keep it if it looks off when it is so expensive and I have 2 other Indy's that look awesome.
With regard to the bag strap. Technically Sideshow got the placement right because the shot in the film that this is based on was flipped so the strap was seen to be over that shoulder.
Actually looking at the pic above, it seems Ford simply wore the strap on the other way round.
