Indiana Jones - Pursuit of the Ark statue

[Pizza]

received today

For me it's a very beautiful statue, but very hard to photograph.

Received as well today. I'm happy with it, it's a very impressive sculpt and I have absolutely no doubt about keeping it. Paint weighs it down a little bit but not too bad for me. From a few steps away it looks stunning, from very close you can spot some issues but nothing too big. People who don't collect seems to be stunned when seeing this the first time, I guess us collectors have a very critical eye, some more than others. You could argue that we should have considering the money we pay for these but it could also kill much of the joy of collecting. I'm not one of the most picky collectors though and I have to say I think it's beautiful, and with a top notch paint job this could've been a real killer. Mine came with a few small paint chips, nothing too serious and not easily spotted from my display angle but I'll be contacting SS for a credit, my first time ever with now something like 15-20 statues.

Congrats Pizza/Hewitt89!

Pizza, he looks pretty great in your pics. I think you are the first one to show him displayed with the EX gun hand.

 

[mattman6886]

Great shots, pizza! He does actually look pretty badass with the ex hand. Might have to switch mine out.

Here's some shots of mine. Overall, I'm happy with it. Really good sized piece that commands your attention. Sure the paint could be better in places, but it gets the job done, and there are some nice details in there. The sculpt itself is fantastic.

Congrats everyone.

Have any of you compared this with the other Indy PF's?

I haven't. Looks good though in your pic.

I've decided I really like this statue. Even with the boring paint.

 

[Hewitt89]

As for the likeness, it's not 100% perfect but the first thing my finance said when she saw it was "It's Harrison Ford!". She's not into the Indy movies so she didn't recognise him as Indy at first but as Ford.

Oh I got it. Just doesn't fit on that shelf.

First time today I've had a chance to post pics. In one pic, I've got the piece paired with the GG Indiana Jones Last Crusade on horse statue, which gives you a good sense of how big the Sideshow piece is. The GG piece, I believe, is 1/7 scale.

 

[pumuckl8968]

for me it looks more like 1/5 BY SIDE TO THE 1/4 FIGURE:

have you a 1/6 indy to compere?

 

[Hewitt89]

It is 1/5 scale.

The horse looks a little small compared to Indy.

My exclusive arrived today, and it is awesome, nothing broken, pealed of paint or flaws as I can tell. I love it!
First of all this thing is huge, don't know where in the world I'm gonna put the box.
Anyway very impressive statue. Very happy.

What kind of cabinet is that?

The horse looks a little small compared to Indy.

It's the breed of the horse, it's actually pretty accurate.

 

[CollectorNC]

If the horse was any larger, Indy, due to them sculpting him skinny, would look like a teenage boy riding it.

It's a museum style curio cabinet. It's the only thing I could find that would fit pieces that large, aside from IKEA's products. And I really don't care for the look of Bestas or Detolfs.
