Present Toys "Raider Jones" figure

[Shawn]

What body are you using?

I've ordered a worldbox narrow shoulder body AT011. It comes with double jointed elbows. Hopefully it will work out. Should have it within the week.

Thanks , I was thinking about a narrow should true type knock off or COO but will take a look at that one.

So what's the secret in undoing the buckle on the web belt? Mine won't budge at all.

A small slotted screwdriver used as a wedge would probably work.

I received mine earlier today. Out of the box, I will say it definitely needs a body swap and a good deal of adjustment to improve the "hang" of the outfit. It's a suitable starter kit for just about anyone looking for a Jones in their collection. It's not perfect by any stretch, but its a good jumping off point.

That's what I'm trying now. This thing is a bugger!

I saw that too and sent them an email. I paid it off at TNS a few weeks ago but haven't seen anything. I ordered something from them recently and also got the Mars Joker there no problem, so not too worried but thought it was weird for them to post it was in stock before shipping.

Got my shipping notice from TNS.

Just got my figure and have to say at the price point I'm happy with it. I did have to do a lot of futzing to get him the way I wanted him and also added the weathering but I'm impressed overall. The jacket is bulky and the trousers could do with being baggier but pulling them down a little to get them bunching at the ankles helps. Added magnets to the bag as those plastic fasteners tend to break and also to the whip holder as that doesn't open at all. So generally you have to put a bit of work in but I'm pleased with it!

Nice futzing and pics. I’d certainly jump on a reissue now. Kinda wish I’d ordered it but the promo pics just weren’t that convincing.

Yep they responded to my email with the tracking #, can't wait!

It's not a steaming pile for sure. I ordered day 1 based on promo pics that used other companies accessories so I knew it was going to be gamble. I already have a custom figure so figured why not.
There is more good than bad here (although some of the bad is kinda bad) and as mentioned before, a great starting point if you want to upgrade as you go. You could probably leave as and be content. I don't find that smiling head as repulsive in hand as it appears in photos. Just my .02.

Did you manage to get the belt off?

 

[Mr.E]

The belt "buckle" is hinged and lifts up if enough force is applied. You can pull the belt material against it to open it. It's not accurate so I wouldn't use it once you take it off.

I am replacing the body so I was planning on sliding off the pants with the belt on and then sliding the pants back on the new body. Thanks for the info !

The belt ...It's not accurate so I wouldn't use it once you take it off.

And so it begins...

 

[The Jerker]

Did you manage to get the belt off?

Yup, I found a little space on the lower right side that I was able to stick a mini flat head in and pry it open. It's always tricky the first time.

 

[The Jerker]

And so it begins...

Hell, mine is in pieces already!

Granted, I have no need for another Indy custom, and will likely do very little to these, but their parts have potential. Overall, the figure straight of the box is less than the sum of it's parts. A little fine tuning and the futz, and you're on your way to a decent figure. Simple tricks like glueing down the back of the jacket collar, the body swap, etc. will make subtle yet effective improvements to the overall appearance. The heads are perfectly serviceable as well. It's important to keep one's expectations in check when it comes to these bootlegs. To hear people losing their mind over missing out, or paying exorbitant prices for these is pretty silly.

Yeah I am not investing too much in to mine once it arrives hopefully by the end of next week. Going to do a body swap and I already have a replacement gun belt and holster and a custom whip on the way . Planned on glueing down the jacket collar as well. Hoping in the near future to get another pair of SS pants but if not then O well.

Anyone find a body compatible with this figure? The neck pegs seems a lot smaller than a standard neck peg.

Maybe a worldbox narrow shoulder body AT011.

 

[The Jerker]

I ordered an AT011. Should have it by Monday. I'll pass along my experience unless someone does it first.

This is a pretty awesome figure for the price. Mine did come with a minor defect on the jacket, it’s hard to tell though. Asking for a replacement will be impossible.

This will be my second figure from KGH that’s had a defect of some sort. Will now switch all of my 3rd party ordering to Kit moving forward as I’ve never had any issues with them.
