Newline Boots update

[mfisher]

Hey guys... finally got word back from Graham at Newline... he said that another run of those is in the works for the "near future"... don't know what the exact date is but rest assured these are not out of production and we will be able to snag a few pairs for our collections here soon. So I wouldn't be shelling out any premium prices on the secondary market.. just wait a minute and they will be back at the dealers at regular retail... now.. the best part is that he mentioned they are also working on a scale heat pressed felt fedora !! So we can expect a VERY fine quality real felt lid for the figure as well... not THAT is GREAT news... can't wait to hear more on that..

Wow Mike, That's some AWESOME news, thanks for sharing that...especially about the fedora. Too cool!

Excellent news! Since I switched my Indy over to to an S2 body I've been using the Hasbro shoes (which are actually quite good considering), but I'll definitely be replacing them with the Newline's.

That's absolutely fantastic news Mike! Thanks for getting in touch with Graham.

Is it worth suggesting to Graham that a ROTLA fedora which fitted the hatless Indy head would be great, or will he know this already? Although I guess making it fit over that quiff at the front will be quite tricky, and the head might need some resculpting.

One thing's for sure, the use of an authentic material will vastly improve the appearance of the figure. I've got my Indy wearing a Toys McCoy jacket, and although it's a little too large, and that damn zip looks huge, just the use of leather makes it look better and feel better.

It's amazing how something like the Newline boots really improve the look of the figure.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the fedora. I've got my custom Indy headsculpt (original Frontline) wearing the rubber-like hat. Not bad, but Newline's should be amazing...

Awesome news, I am definitely in for the shoes and the had would be great too.

 

[Misterscruff]

Fantastic news! I'll keep an eye out for those.

Speaking of boots, any thoughts on replacing the German Indy boots with some from NewLine? I was looking at German Enlisted marching boots, but I am not sure. I am trying to find a photo from the movie of his boots, I don't feel like popping in the DVD right now.

yes.. those would be accurate ( and FAR superior to sideshow's )..

Excellent, I think I am going to snag up a pair of those.

Got my boots from Japan yesterday (two pairs). I really hope Newline produce some more, they look incredible.

That's weird - mine have got black stitching. I'll try and take some photos in good natural light over the weekend.
