I just put in my pre-order for Indy a few minutes ago. I'm thrilled to see Sideshow's version! I think, in my opinion that the likeness of Harrison Ford IS there with Sideshow's. Yeah, back when Toys McCoy put their Indy out I thought it was the best. I never could afford it. I love the accessories they've included with this "Raiders" or ROTLA Indy. I like the addition of having two different sets of both gloved, and bare hands. I also like the head that you can take off the hat, and the one with the fixed fedora hat on it.
I know most of us, myself included, will "age" his leather jacket. In Sideshow's pictures today it just looks too "pretty" and clean....don't you think? I am going to distress my Indy's jacket, and possibly his boots too.
My dream of owning a 12" Indy was one I have had most of my life since first seeing the old Kenner Indy back at a Target store with my Mom in 1982, and she refused to buy it...for only $10.00! So, since then I've wanted a good one. I have a good one now, with custom accessories and a custom "Frontline" headsculpt. But I want the best one I can get. I think it is Sideshow's that is the best one "in my book". I never could afford to pay the $300 or more for the Toys McCoy Indy, and Sideshow's now looks SO much better to me!
I'm pretty broke now, so I gotta start saving up for this Indy now.
Wow, it sucks not having any money! But I will may this work somehow....
