Medicom Indy and Dr. Jones - the polite thread

[Billy Ray]

Indy himself can be seen HERE

Here's the box:

Here's what's inside:

Meh, doesn't look good.

What's up with Medicom's coming out before yours, Sideshow????

 

[creecher]

You're probably onto something there Evilface. Might be a deal between them, for Sideshow having the Medicom distribution.

 

[RJMacReady16]

Irish really called this one.

He doesn't look that great.

And he's shrimpy as hell....(typical Medicom).

 

[darren1228]

He looks pretty good to me. A huge improvement from when we first saw him.

 

[IrishJedi]

For $150, Medicom's Indy figure is about the biggest joke ever. Even the artifacts look cheap and Hasbro-ish.

 

[IrishJedi]

What's up with Medicom's coming out before yours, Sideshow????

Sideshow's been too busy dicking around with things like the Sommers MUMMY license and more yawner SW figures on the Buck. Give 'em a break.

 

[OSCORP]

Don't care for indy products but i think it looks a lot better than the proto pics.

 

[thedarkknight]

I hope Sideshow's box looks better than that.

 

[IrishJedi]

I hope Sideshow's box looks better than that.

Same here. Uber-boring. But I don't have much faith... looks like a LFL Special to me.

Then again, Medicom was never known for inspired or innovative packaging, so I guess there is some hope.

Looks much better than the protos!!!
now wheres SS version? Im gonna wait till I see in hand shots of both versions before deciding which to get.

Since Sideshow's is $60 less than Medicom's it would have to look like complete crap for it not to be the better purchase on that basis alone.

And what about this looks so much better than the prototype? The headsculpt? Fine. But it still has the giraffe neck, ill-fitting clothes, a horrifically cheap looking (and inaccurate) hat, cheap Hasbro-ish accessories, and is way, way too skinny. Good luck with that.

 

[kazukijun]

Prehaps I wasn't being clear enough. I meant the headsculpt looks much better than the protos. I think the giraffe neck is due to the nature of the 301 body. It works fine for figures who have thick clothings or bulky armour but for normal figs, it looks abit weird.
Definitely needs abit of padding to make him look more natural & mascular. I also find that the pants look real cheap.

So far the SS version looks better in alot of ways but Im more concerned about how the final product will look like. Hopefully SS pulls an Old Ben headsculpt on Indy!

The main deciding factor for me to buy an Indy fig, is how good the production head sculpt will look like.

 

[IrishJedi]

I agree. I think we're all waiting with baited breath to see how the Sideshow head turns out in production. I just hope we don't have to wait another 7 months!

why is Medi still using the old joints for the wrists?

 

[RJMacReady16]

Boy that Indy is........

Well, this is the polite thread.

I think Indy's going to be a definite pass. Apart from the body, the HS and the hat, now the whip and his jacket are bugging me.

 

[IrishJedi]

No need to sugarcoat it, the Medicom Indy is crapola.

On the positive side... Henry Sr. looks like a real winner, overpriced or not.

 

[galactiboy]

Its as if Sr. is shaking his head in disbelief at how bad Jr turned out

Not really feeling the packaging design, looks very Hasbroish... which may be a dictate of LFL. I hope not, because I'm really hoping Sideshow does something really interesting.

 

[thedarkknight]

You know, I don't think this Indy is bad. It's just over-priced. At $60.00, it would be a good figure, just not $150.00

But for $150 its a bad figure
