Rene Belloq 12" figure

[pixletwin]

Jungle Belloq would have actually made sense seeing as he comes with the Idol Chamber...

Selling him with an accessory he actually never shares a scene with makes sense?

 

[small_studios]

Whats with the short Clown Tie. Was it really that short in the movie??

 

[pixletwin]

I think thats how ties were really worn in the 30's.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Not a bad looking figure. I'd like to see some pics of the jacket closed.

Here's the jacket closed -- you see the problem:

 

[galactiboy]

Wow, looks bad closed. That is unfortunate.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I think thats how ties were really worn in the 30's.

Belloq's was actually slimmer and longer, a much more normal tie. I have a great pic of it when Indy pushes the table away before the children rush in... but I don't have it uploaded.

I think if you just cut the snap off, leave the jacket open and dump the bad tie, you'd have a nice Cairo Dig version of Belloq.



So where's all the other Belloq receivers? I know two more people got theirs. No pics, no opinions?

 

[Indiana Fett]

...OK, first futz done:

Well, as long as I can futz mine around a bit to get him to look like this, jacket open (thus I'll be removing the snap as well), and I'll have to get the 'powder blue' shirt as well:

I'm ditching the shirt and tie he comes with...Oh, and his pants do look pretty high-waisted in this shot anyways...so that might be OK.

Yea but he's on the same continent. He actually holds the idol in his hands.

They could have at least done the light blue open dress shirt instead of that awful looking tie.

Here's the jacket closed -- you see the problem:

Wow thats not good at all. I may send this guy back, I'm not as excited about the Idol Chamber as I thought I'd be. IMO that jacket is not acceptable tailoring for this price.

Is it me or are the buttons on the wrong side of the jacket.

The fabric looks nice though...

 

[Deckard]

They got the pattern on the tie wrong and his shirt is actually light blue there, not white. Wow yea... kinda dissapointed I didn't catch that earlier.

With that and knowing the Indy line may be dead I think I'm sending mine back.

 

[galactiboy]

Looks like it.

 

[dharper]

Nice pics WG. This really does look like a mixed bag. The idol chamber is fantastic but Belloq looks like a big step backwards for SS. I guess you just have to think of him as the accessory and the chamber as the figure.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Is it me or are the buttons on the wrong side of the jacket.

I think the buttons are on the wrong side because they're supposed to look like they're going through the holes on the opposite flap.

Did that make sense?

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's the pic! You see the tie length. You see the shirt color. This figure is very wrong.

For the price, this is one of the more disappointing figures I've received from SS. It's like I have to personally customize a completely different version than the one they've sent me to get it to look acceptable.

I'm sure I'll be happier with a Tanis Dig Belloq, and this will work, but... why do I have to make it after I spent $160?

 

[Deckard]

I'm really really worried about Toht after seeing this disaster.

OH yeah. Pefect sense. Too bad the tailoring couldn't help seal the illusion...

HT = actual buttons. SS = snaps.

 

[Wor-Gar]

They got the pattern on the tie wrong

Actually, the tie IS dotted in the movie. But the SS tie is just the wrong shape, way too short, and it's cheap with the clearly visible thread holding the knot. If the jacket closed, it might be acceptable.

Nah, Belloq is the 'Legolas' of the Indy 1/6 line...Indy was the 'aragorn' and Toht will be the 'Boromir'...true return to form...it'll be the best yet! :chew
