Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

The head is a great sculpt but sadly too small for the hot toys body, Indy ends up looking pinheaded. I had mine painted and loved the look but the small size of the noggin bothered me so I went back and repainted and resculpted the fedora on the sidesjow sculpt

It doesn't look that bad or small.

Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

Picture above shows exactly what I'm talking about. While the sculpt is good, the head is a tad too small
 
Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

Yea too small. I think most of their heads are the same way.

That smiling one is creepy.....
 
Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

Like I said I like the sculpt and even had it on my figure for a couple of months. but the longer I looked at it it didn't look right, so I took them off and compared them side by side. You can see the WGP is far smaller than even the HT sculpt. Until I looked at these pictures again I had forgotten that it kinda has the giraffe neck look going on as well. I eventually went back and repainted and resculpted the fedora on the SS one and now I'm perfectly happy with it. I guess it really comes down to which you prefer and what your likes are

Great looking Indy. It's funny that the HT head was pretty small yet the HT gloved hands are like catcher's mitts in comparison.:lol

They work with the larger SSC head though.

That custom head looks okay, but the mouth and jawline don't seem very HF. Does seem too small though, especially for a character that wears a big (and in 1/6 poofy) jacket.
 
Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

I re watched this movie last night and I want this figure since the HT one came out before I was a collector. I seriously thought about getting a Dx05 and changing the head with a WPG hs. What you guys think should I go with a HT indy or waiting for this one?

WPG HS.

This is probably the best I've seen the WGP sculpt look. Who does it belong to?
 
Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

those photos are from WPG Webpage.

HEAD SCULPTS - WARRIORS GATE PRODUCTIONS.

the WPG head scult is cool but Im gonna wait for SSC, to kit bash an indy figure will cost more or the same as buying the full Hot Toys figure. On Ebay the pants are $20, the jacket $40 maybe more. So I'll just wait, I hope this figure is in the $199 price range.

You mean talk about customizing the Indiana Jones figure that doesn't even have pics up yet?

Confidence is high... repeat, confidence is high.:lol

I was making a joke.

Re: New Indy 1:6 from SS?

Overall, for an unofficial custom job it looks pretty good. Unfortunately, the head looks too big for the body and the hat sits too high for me. Nice repaint on the head and weathering to the body / clothes , though.
 
Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

Compared to my stock Indys that looks fantastic and the size of the head and hat placement fade don't bother me when I compare it to what I have.
 
Re: SSC - Temple of Doom - Indiana Jones

hmmm, I already have the not-Indy from Hot Toys.
