New Poll - who would you buy from Sideshow?

[kl241]

Maybe if they'd have given us a hatless sculpt, leather ammo pouches and boots instead of cheap Hasbro quality rubber ones and a correct DAK tunic and was about $20 less we wouldn't have to.

Guess you shouldn't have complained so much about Indy as German, eh?

It was doomed from the start.The Truth is there is simply not enough interest for other characters as a line.Not enough buyers to support.Even LOTR had better chances IMO.Unfortunately,its a Fail.

From the Q & A.

I'm not sure why Sideshow even bothers with 1/6 stuff outside of Star Wars anymore. They just end up cancelling every line they start.

I want TOD figs. I'd buy a Willie if they made a Short Round and Mola Ram figs.

Or Sideshow should have just made a better figure that people actually wanted in the first place.

Only voted for Mola Ram. Not even a huge fan of that film, but he is the most visually interesting Indy villain. Would have voted for Shortround, if he were an option.

'course it didn't help that every single release before Henry was plagued with issues.

Adventure Gear Raiders Indy: (I'll ignore the paint as that's a hit & miss across all their products) First figure on the pro and the body was filled with bugs. While some were okay, others were literally marionette bodies and regardless, the headsculpt was just too heavy for the neck to support.

Belloq: They pulled a Medi here. The sculpt looked absolutely NOTHING like the actor.

Toht: (I'll ignore the "soft" sculpt as it still resembled the actor) Glasses were a letdown. The Ex, the Ark, was an utter travesty. Not providing an accurate finish left droves of people to cancel the Ex. We saw it jump from a mere 10 left, to over 70 in what, 2 days? It's really a shame when a Hasbro product, which was basically $10 vs. Sideshow's $70, is more visually appealing.

Indy in German Disguise: Wrong color shirt, 1:5 scale noggin, non-removable hat, short launcher, and this barebones offering, for the same price as Adventure Gear Indy who came loaded with accessories.

In addition to this, they announced that crucial supporting characters were "long shots" pretty much admitting their lack of dedication to the line. And here, finally, they get something right, arguably perfect, with Henry, and announce the infamous "on hold" status.

 

[IrishJedi]

Exactly. And of course it's our fault for being critical and/or not buying certain figures.

Sideshow's 12" line failures are apparently never their own doing.

 

[Karloff]

I'd buy anything from Raiders.

 

[jamesoncooper]

Can we add Map Room Indy? I'd definitely buy him

The poll was regarding characters who haven't yet been made, not versions. I say that with Belloq up there because the one we got doesn't even look like Belloq.
