How long ago did you get on it?

Sorry I didnt see where you posted asking when I got on the wait list I got on it the 27th of November.

Thought we could probably merge these threads now.

Pretty excited to see this in person! Indy was awfully lonely by himself.

Mine was about a month later. Thanks!

Sweet! Can't wait for the idol environment. Belloq was a great bonus!

That's exactly how I've seen it. The enviro is a must-have. Belloch was a plus.

$60 is not a bad deal for something like that. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on eBay for $75-$100. Hope not because I want one badly.

I'm expecting this environment to eventually go crazy on the secondary market. There's only 1000 made and once in-hand pics start getting around, there's going to be quite a demand. Many will NOT be selling them, so not many enviros will be flooding ebay initially. Eventually it will dry up, once they get into collector's hands.

I would think you would convert with all the other stuff shipping out I would say this will end up on alot of peoples chopping block.

 

[Darth Waller]

I hope so. I really want that idol environment.

 

[Indiana Fett]

Awesome, Can't wait for this!

For now I plan on posing 'adventure Indy' with the Idol pedestal environment and Belloq on his own. At least until we get Toht, then I'll pose the 2 of them together with the ark!

My exact plans as well.

 

[Darth Waller]

Provided my waitlist comes through, I might pose him like that. Or the scene right after he turns around to leave.

That would look badass as well!

or even...

so many variation possibilities...I might have to put the display on a 'lazy-susan' or a turntable...so I can spin it around to enjoy the many angles! Haha!

 

[Gorn Captain]

I can't help not being convinced by the head sculpt of Belloq and Toht.
I just don't see the actors' faces in them.
Their brother, maybe, but I'm not collecting relatives.

 

[ProgMatinee]

You don't see likeness in Toht???????????????

 

[Darth Waller]

That would look badass as well!

Yeah, that would look nice.

Something totally different for the idol environment.. as my Indy is posed on my base camp vignette.. I was thinking about doing up a custom Hovitos warrior.. soem kind of scene with one of them in the idol chamber would be kind of a cool different angle on how to display the idol.. as opposed to always just having Indy holding it or swapping it out... ther had to be a Hovitos lackey that was responsible for going in there and dusting that thing off once a week

Excellent idea, Mike.

The only problem is that you'll be running into the bane of 1/6th figure collectors, which is having those ugly figure joints showing and ruining the effect. having a killer headsculpt and paint app would only make those joints stick out even worse.

 

[SwedishHeat]

So, as sweet as the environment is, I'm just thinking, "If Indy is in the idol chamber, who's going to hang out with the Ark when it comes out?? Toht and Belloq?? Eww, yuck". I really have no desire for the Belloq, I hope someone can take it off my hands to take some of the sting off my wallet. So, now if I don't want Belloq, can I really swing that much cash for an environment??

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I think you'd be better off getting the exclusive and selling Belloq off afterwards. Of course, I'm sure many others will do the same which may flood the market with loose Belloqs, but I figure the environments are going to cost a mint in the aftermarket! And you could always change your mind and keep Belloq if you see that no-one is buying him.

A HotToys Rocky would fix that. Though, you'd have severely limited poseability.

I just bought all the parts to do the safari version of Belloq, which is my favorite "Belloq" look in the film.
