Lando Calrissian Priority preorder!!!!

[Darthrazz]

They've got to work on the sloping shoulders as well or else it will look even stranger when the figure is taller and lacking shoulders.

The only one that needs sloping shoulders, believe it or not, is Vader. maybe that's a result of the armor?

 

[devilof76]

Okay cool... didn't want to come off as a jerk.

Not at all.

Well I haven't seen the aplication of that statement yet.

Indy = Too short.
Belloq = Too short.

I can only assume Snakeeyes is the same story and based on PPO images Lando and Piett are no different.

That's kinda why I was beelining for the True Type. It seems so obvious that the figures are falling 'short', one after another. The odds that they'd react to requests for a change just seem nil.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I don't get the demand for broadshoulders on the base body. Most actors in SW and Indiana Jones were not hulking bodybuilders. Its always easier to add bulk under an outfit to make a bigger character than make a huge figure work for a Luke or something and personally, I don't think the scale change going to the pro was a very big deal. Its not like it went all the way down to Medicom size.

 

[pixletwin]

Except the guys and gals at Sideshow are all huge fans just like us and I think they would want their figs to be properly scaled too.

 

[King Darkness]

Lets hope and pray that they develop a tall Pro between now and Lando shipping.

I cant imagine posing Lando and he is as tall as Leia

 

[devilof76]

I checked last night and Indy is shorter than Bespin Luke.

 

[SwedishHeat]

How does his cape stay on??

Just as long as they don't do those silly silver snaps.

Check Indy against any Medicoms if you have any.

 

[devilof76]

Just the Evangelion girls, and they're tall for Medicom (and taller than Indy).

 

[galactiboy]

Check Indy against any Medicoms if you have any.

Ugh... how embarassing would it be if after dogging on Medicom bodies all this time we get stuck with a short-ass collection of figures

And I'm not really bothered by the shoulders either... but if these really are modular having a set of wider set shoulders could be an option?

Do you think it's sewn on?
Hard to say on the figure.

It would be painfully ironic to be such

I just checked Indy against a Medicom Jango and Indy is a good bit taller.

Seriously!

 

[King Darkness]

Yeah, I just did the same, Indy is a little taller.

 

[Darthrazz]

I just checked Indy against a Medicom Jango and Indy is a good bit taller.

Whew!!!

 

[King Darkness]

Not much taller though. Just a little bit.

 

[Randy_S]

I checked last night and Indy is shorter than Bespin Luke.

All the Lukes are too tall. The scale on almost every figure with the Buck is wrong. Glad to see the Pro is attempting to correct those errors.

 

[sheng_lung]

Well I'm hopefull Lando's height will be done right sadly Indy is way to short. Belloq on the other hand I don't see where he was to short the actor in only about 5'9" which makes him same height as mark hamill and ray park who have both been on short bodies. The Snake-Eyes figures height I won't comment much on cause there's nothing realworld to go on cept the god awful movie comming out this summer.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I think the sloping shoulders will look realistic on most figures. BDW wasn't a huge bodybuilder or anything. Look at this pic.

Its funny, I've always been a whiner around here, but I'm pretty happy with the Pro. Funny to see people who never whined before start whining.

I'm not whining. I'm just saying that if you simply increase the height of the Pro without addressing the narrow shoulders, it's going to look awkward. For example, the Indy figure, even with the jacket, looks like he has a big melon. Now stretch the figure's height and it might look more pronounced.
