S.H.Figuarts Indiana Jones

[Rogerbee]

Probably. Is there a strong secondary market for SHF? It could just be the figure, but I just got a boxed Phasma for £30. I'm wondering if Indy is worth keeping MIB. I'd check eBay for your 3rd. I got mine for under £100 with FedEx express shipping.

 

[Mr.E]

Indy merchandise has never been a given. I suspect there will be another dry spell, quite possibly for a while.

That's okay though. The best days are gone. Look back fondly, if at all possible.

I guess.

Keeping one boxed is merely me liking the look of unopened figures - and it looks perfectly matched to a VHS boxset I still have. So it's not from a resale POV that I'm keeping one MIB.

Well anyway if this indeed is to be my only Indiana Jones figure it's a damn good one and I can live with it.

what ever happened to Mezco Toht...?

I believe Indy is scheduled for May and Toht for July but they could always end up being later I guess.

I think the licensing is over. The Hasbro line is the deepest bench we’ll ever get for Indy. Despite the fact there’s constant demand, it clearly doesn’t sell enough for mass market. Yet already certain Hasbro figs are escalating in value. Try to find a Kazim (!!) for under $50. Hoping a third party will do Mola Ram in 1/12, b/c I don’t think they’ll license that character.

 

[Mr.E]

Sadly, I haven't opened up most of the adventure series figures. Certainly, no enjoyment has come from acquiring them. Surprised to hear Kazim is fetching higher prices.

Ok, fair enough. At least they never went plastic free like Hasbro tried to. Open any figure that came like that and your resale vanishes. At least with plastic packaging you can put it back nicely if you're careful.

Thank you. Seems like I've been waiting a very long time for Toht prod pics.

 

[IBM5100]

No problem! I honestly don't remember seeing any newer pics than the ones shown at pre-order time.

[Rogerbee]

I could understand it. I wanted a definitive Indy and that is what SHF gave me. It also cost WAAAAAAAY less than any 1/6 I would've been happy with.

 

[cking]

Updated the head and Fedora on my SH Figuarts. Love that figure and it just blows the Hasbro version away in my opinion.

 

[Rogerbee]

Nice! The neck fix would be the icing on the cake. It really completes him.

 

[cking]

Do you mean the ball of blu tack to raise the head up a bit? I need to swap the bag over with the Hasbro version too as the SH version's strap is too short so the top of the bag sits too high above his belt.
Here's a better, natural daylight photo.

 

[Rogerbee]

Yes, that's what I meant. It may look odd from the sides, but, that's not really how you'll see him on the shelf. The Hasbro bag is a good idea. I never went with it because my Indy already cost me enough without having to get a whole other figure just for accessories. I went down that rabbit hole with a 1/6 one and it was only this figure that got me out of it.

I am very late to the party on this guy, but yesterday was my birthday and I was like “I want to grab something fun,” so I signed up for an Amazon credit card, used part of the $150 gift card they loaded onto my account to buy this guy, and 14 hours later, he was here and, honestly? Even out of the box, I’m blown away. It’s crazy to me that so many people struggle so much with Ford’s likeness and this little fella has not one, not two, but three exceptional likenesses. Now, looking at all the mods and cool tweaks people have made, I’m like “do I get another one to do that with and keep it stock?”

I did my best to never jump in on the adventure series out of the hopes that Hot Toys or someone would announce a new Raiders Indy, but the more I saw of this guy, the more impressed I was, and the more I wanted him. Dammit if he wasn’t everything I hoped he’d be and more. Just an absolute blast and, honestly? Even at 80 bucks, he feels like a steal for the quality and quantity of items you get with him.

 

[Rogerbee]

Yeah, you did good! I see people spending thousands trying to get 1/6 Indy figures together that aren't as good as this.
