Super Freak
Removed internal peg from PT head , placed a new one and changed to my custom Indy with HT Han Solo body. Easy.
With the three older SSC Indys (ROTLA, KOTCS and TOD) tossed into this pic for good measure, it's incredible that this is as good as it gets in 1/6 for a character as super-iconic has Indiana Jones.
--I can’t help but not understand why it seems there was such high standards and/or expectations for this release to be at the custom level.
--Indy is a relic few can posses....
Sacrilege, how could you ask so much of a figure? A quality release of cinematic legend Indiana Jones, a character with 5 movies spawning across 5 decades?With the three older SSC Indys (ROTLA, KOTCS and TOD) tossed into this pic for good measure, it's incredible that this is as good as it gets in 1/6 for a character as super-iconic has Indiana Jones.
Like they basically nail TDK Joker and POTC Sparrow in 1/6 on the first go round, followed by seemingly dozens of other equally incredible 1/6 updates to those characters - and yet Indy in 1/6 is so doggedly underwhelming, over and over.
This Present Toys version is yet another "fine to kinda decent I guess" 1/6 Indy, triggering another few years of $$$ custom work by collectors who have the skills and/or the cash.
And as many Venomized figures as possible.Sacrilege, how could you ask so much of a figure? A quality release of cinematic legend Indiana Jones, a character with 5 movies spawning across 5 decades?
C'mon man, haven't you seen the new Ironman 56XLKWZ deluxe neon edition from Hot Toys? We don't have the kind of time for such unwanted characters, we need at least a dozen more Ironmans.
I would wait until the recast is recast.I saw that! Over 200.00 for the neutral headsculp is nuts.
Did you replace the SSC TOD head with the Present Toys head? I don't have the Present Toys in hand yet, but the SSC TOD (despite somewhat sub-HT paint apps) to me is one of the best Indy likenesses in 1/6 whereas the non-grin Present Toys likeness is decent, but not as close, at least in pics so far.Got my figure yesterday, broke it open last night to see what we were working with. Honestly, I'm so glad I picked this up, it worked really well for piecing together my TOD Indy. I love the head sculpt, I think it looks great.
The body is probably my only major complaint, it's terribly weak in some places and almost needs breakable force in others. Also the shoes are just about bolted in place, getting them off was almost impossible and then I had to take a screwdriver and bore out the holes to get them back on.
The inaccuracies are kinda so so, but I'm more of a big picture kind of person, so I don't mind.
Either way, so happy with this. I'll probably replace the body down the line if someone has a good recommendation.
