JND Studios: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - 1:3 Harrison Ford and Sean Connery

[Mandible]

I can just about deal with everything except:

Pant color
Hat color
Whip

Hat color shouldn't be an issue to address.
Whip can be purchased from cking's recommendation

But the pants

Here's my Raiders versions that I'll be putting onto the statue.
The pants belt needs to be cut to the correct length once the statue gets here so it's currently too long on my mock-up display that I show in the photo.

Are you able to provide details on how to get that gun belt? That’s nice!

Sure thing. You can contact Jon de Guzman on instagram or facebook.

The gunbelt I've got is the Raiders of the Lost Ark version though. Last Crusade was as JND have done it (but they forgot to put the whip holder onto it).
Jon made all of the items shown in this photo (except the whip - that was made by Joseph Strain of the Northern Whip Co.)

Interesting that Indy has a wife-beater on under his shirt.

Pheobe Waller Bridge used an Indy beater.

Amazing work. Thank you!

I just read over on statueforum that James stated in his livestream that Disney were restrictive on the changes that were allowed on the sculpt and even more baffling than that - they supplied JND with a colour chart for the pants which JND had to stick to. Someone should fire the person at Disney who put that colour chart together!

If I was just someone who was shouting about their color being wrong based on looking at the movie and photos alone, I wouldn't have much in my defence. However, I've got pieces of the ACTUAL fabric used to make Harrison's pants from Last Crusade, so I THINK that should be good enough provenance to know what I'm talking about. Oh well, it's far too late in the game to expect any improvements, so we're stuck with this horrible Disney controlled inaccurate version now.

I can't quite get my brain to grasp why Disney would want to restrict making the sculpt BETTER. Complete madness. Having now seen the head without the hat on, it's an absolute mess. WAY too elongated and thin and nothing like Ford's head / face proportions. So disappointing. (Unless the photo I saw suffered from horrendous lens distortion).

Very disappointing but really doesn't really surprise me too much having worked for enormous multinationals for a long time.
It likely got signed off by an overworked understaffed area who have little interest in this stuff and think this already looks much better than the $20 action figure they approved, and when JND have gone back to them, the answer has been, 'we're not going through the process again with you, leave as is'

all official production pics are up, some of which have already been posted. EDIT: Unboxing posted I'm guessing the unboxing video will be coming in the next few days as well. Will be interesting to see what it looks like with the hat off

I'm sorry but these two just look goofy as hell, and like some really bad caricatures. And I still can't get over the weird Kenner action figure pose they gave Indy, or that super short beard on Henry Sr.

JND should be seriously ashamed of themselves after this reveal.

Honestly, I don't think they care. They sold out of them and have moved onto several new pieces since then.

I wonder when collectors will start receiving them?

Curious to see people beyond JND taking good quality video and pictures. The unboxing video has a yellow wash/hue across the whole thing, so as usual with JND, it looks like ****.
