Why have they made his face so thin and gaunt? Ford's face was fuller than this in Last Crusade.

I swear JND are their own worst enemies when it comes to promoting their products.
Their photographers could learn a lesson or two about making these things pop and really show the sculpts at their best - and now whoever does their futzing should be fired instantly. Everything about that display is soooooooooooooo bad, it's nothing short of embarrassing.
(BTW mods - we need a clown(s) emoji - even a circus tent would suffice).

EVERY cell phone camera gives a slimming effect in closeups of faces, albeit your face or a statue's face.
And this seems to be the prototype folks, NOT the production. I was going to say that if this was the production piece then it would be one of the quickest turnaround times from prototype to production that I've seen. I'm not worried as much anymore, but one thing that I think needs to get fixed is his fedora. The fedora is too tapered up to the crown and there are weird angles behind the pinch/dents on the top of the crown. Plus, there is no curl up on the sides, which is a classic feature of the Last Crusade fedora.
Here are some rough lines to demonstrate.

Trying to find good pics from the movie to demonstrate the lack of taper. Here are some.
Production set photo.
So in my opinion, the brim need to curl down more in the front and curl up more on the sides, not taper as much at the crown and lose the weird angle behind the pinch dents.

They're notorious for making faces gaunt, I don't know why? It's strange AF. Still, it's either this or Cinemaquette Indy, as much faults as this have, this is still the best mass produced and licensed Indy figure to me. Keeping but bitter AF.
The reaction was not good. Universal condemnation sums it up.
I don't really post at all on Facebook but did put a post saying, 'so is it confirmed this is still only a prototype and not production' and the page admin replied 'confirmed'. laster on.

Thank god.
If they release those pants with that color, I'm just going to assume everyone that works for them has a mental disability. I've never seen any Indy product - even from the $2 Kenner figures back in the day, that have completely ****** the color like these clowns... let alone everything else that is so obviously wrong with this thing.
They deserve the condemnation.
Did Collectors Ark take any photos of the JND Superman and Clark statues? These are the best photos I've seen from the show so far apart from the lens distortion which I've attempted to reduce in this edited version of their photo.

Was that on their own Facebook page, or the JND Collectors Group page (which isn't officially JND and is a group run by people who collect JND's statues)?
These messages of dissatisfaction need to get back to the source ie: JND Studios. I hope they're seeing these reactions and will update Indy accordingly! There is NO excuse in getting the pants color wrong because they've got a piece of 100% accurate fabric in their art department that I shipped to them!
