Medicom Indy and Dr. Jones - the polite thread

[Bardoon]

We're being good Tom. See? We're angelic.

Okay, he's gone. Medicom sucks!!!

At least they don't have lazy eyes, bad paint-jobs and green zombies!



I'm getting BOTH the Sideshow & Medicom Indiana Jones figures. There are things I like about both and dislike about both. Overall I just say the more the merrier and we're all very lucky to have Indy back on the scene.

That I agree with. No matter what you prefer you got the ability now to get whatever you deem the best Indy. That I say is a good thing.

Indeed--there was a time not so long ago when things were very few and far between for Indy collectors.

 

[galactiboy]

Getting a quality 1/6 Indy has been something I've been wanting since I began seriously collectiong (around 10 years ago or so) and now to have not one but 2 great figures with lots more coming is really pretty remarkable.

This is why I intend to enjoy this ride while it lasts.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Yeah, you are right about that. Back in the day, it was the Mccoy or custom... and that was it.

 

[The Josh]

That is why I'll be getting as many products as I can afford. I'm afraid it might not be the longest ride.

 

[galactiboy]

Well if the Indianajones shop is any indicator they plan to make this last as long as possible.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, but it'll be nothing close to STAR WARS, which has been in marketing/licensing overdrive for 12 straight years now.

This is true. Hopefully it does as I'm in hog heaven with LOTR, SW, and Indy.

 

[galactiboy]

No, most likely not. But before 1996 SW was pretty quiet... then it just exploded. I have a feeling Lucasfilm is really gonna push as hard as they can to keep Indy in the publics thoughts.

I'd actually love to see the originals re-released on the big screen (just hopefully unaltered ).

Unaltered?

(Checks to see if a certain Mr. George Lucas had anything to do with the Indy films, and if he has ever retroactively altered his work before...)

 

[galactiboy]

Hey, a guy can dream right?!?

 

[tomandshell]

Yes, dream about an unaltered version of "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark."

The title change has never bothered me. Matching the title to the rest of the series seems like a natural thing to do. It's a minor adjustment after all and not like the big SW:SE changes

 

[tomandshell]

I definitely agree. I don't see Spielberg making changes to the Indy films like George has done, and as director I would hope that he has the power to not allow such things.

But maybe one day Lucas and Spielberg will get together and work their magic on Star Wars one more time, replacing Greedo's blaster with a walkie talkie.

Thats what worries me... a future Raiders with a black X instead of a Swastika and radios instead of pistols.

The change was purely for marketing/licensing purposes. The official title is still simply Raiders of The Lost Ark.

And thank God for that, because the altered title is completely stupid in that it betrays the fact that Indy himself is one of the Raiders of The Lost Ark.

 

[The Josh]

The title change doesn't bother me a bit. Its still Raiders and mots of us know that. Now, if they go screwing around with it and making changes that just don't fit with the spirit of the film I might get my panties in a wad.

 

[Blackhole]

It looks better in the boxset as Indy and the Raiders...

I'd like to see the Indy films re-released, maybe cleaned up a bit, like Star Wars was...not actually editing them, just cleaning the prints...if they need it...I don't think they do...
