But I will say that I believe - based on SSC's recent comments (at SDCC) regarding Short Round - that HT is developing a TOD Indy right now. And I don't think they will mess up that hero sculpt again.

That being said, I have WGP sculpt paid for and painting lined up! And yes, gonna to be $200+:

Late to the party, what DID they say about Shorty? Yea or Nay?

YEA!

Mentioned very briefly in Q and A however, and without elaborating...

The sculpt is "fantastic" huh?

Lol,..denial ain't just a river in Egypt bro.

Hey, Crystal Skull was fantastic too right??

He digs his figure.

Yeah,...no doubt. I guess I can dig that Lejuan.

I just got mine so I say yes. Get it. This is an awesome figure. I don't care what some uptight people are saying. This figure looks great and has a great sculpt.

 

[Darth Mangler]

I really like this figure. I would buy it.

I'm new to the hobby just in the past 6 weeks. So far I've bought 1989 Batman, Boba Fett and today I'm off to get the CR Superman.

I LOVE the Indie figure, in fact of the one's I've studied on websites and you tube I'd say he probably has the most impressive extra's and clothing I've come across in my short existence BUT I think I've been caught up in being picky already

The more I look at the head, the less I see Harrison Ford and the more I see a toy that kinda resembles Harrison Ford. I've been stalking threads and I caught the alternate head and it really stood out for me at that point.

I see no reason to buy this since it can still be had and will probably always be available somewhere (just my assumption but it's still on SS and it's still at my local Toy shop). I think I'm going to bite my tongue and hold out. I can alway's pick him up down the line.

 

[Solarsailor]

mmmm. Now after asking for a look in the store just then, I kind of do like it. I wouldn't say it's spot on but it does look like a young Harrison Ford in many aspects. Maybe too young.

I'd disagree with the guy who said it looks the same in pictures as it does out the box. Although it's not dramatically different, when you lay eye's on it you do kind of want it it

I love the DX packaging. Oozing quality.

 

[swsqueakquels]

It's not a bad likeness. It's just that in this day and age, this is possible on a head the size of your thumbnail...

And then you just sort of wonder...

 

[Solarsailor]

Oh it could be better for sure. It's not a disaster though.

I think I read a few of guy's mentioning a TOD Indy? I might hold for that if it's true. I'm not really in a rush for this with so much good stuff coming out. I can't see it going up in price.

It's been a month since I purchased my Indy DX05 and I can honestly say I have no regrets. I can't wait to make some leather upgrades once mfisher starts back working. I found a crystal skull on this forum that I'm waiting on. I can't wait to pose him with it.

I struggled with buying the DX05 for a long just because of the head sculpt then I started to see it for more reasonable prices. I bought mine for $210 shipped on here and I don't regret it at all. The complete package is awesome.

i bought mine for $220 and no regrets at all. in fact ive started selling off most of my 1/6 collection because... well because im an adult. BUT jones will not be sold. he is most deff a keeper. the child in me does get a say! is he valued more than others, probably not but im not here to make $$$.

ive seen him sold for $180 on ebay. so his price is coming down but for how long? now might be the time to pick him up if you are on the fence. if you are a true RAIDERS fan and a fan of HT's then i would imagine you already own him. if you are a fan of ToD or LC then i can see you struggling to holding off.

its quite simple... if you're a fan then its a BUY.

 

[TheFiend]

What does you selling off your 1/6 collection have to do with being an adult?

Are any of us any less for keeping them?

Sorry no offense. It was a personal attack on myself. You have to answer that question on ur own.

I refuse to grow up because I've seen the way adults act. It's not pretty!

Nothing wrong with having a hobby. I just turned 26 yesterday and just recently got back into collecting when I discovered NECAs Evil Dead 2 line. I was amazed at them and had to get them. Then I started researching all of the 7 inches that they had released while I was out of the figure game and picked up a lot of them to display. I'm on the look out for jason pt 3 and I'll be getting gordon freeman this month upon release. Now back to Indy. I want to like the HT Indy so bad but something about the eyes just turns me off so quickly.
