I was thinking the same thing, SS release theirs first like Raiders then HT releases theirs a year later, given we still don't know whats coming out in 2016.
No P.O. in 30th Anniversary year of TOD though...

I'd certainly pay $260 for that painted sculpt.

Needs more of Ford's trademark smirk.
The one on the left does look like a different sculpt from the one on the right somehow. Part of that is obviously a trick of light and shadow, but it may also be that the likeness is better from certain angles than others. But based on the pic on the right, I would instantly recognize that, not just as Ford, but as Indy. Significantly better than HT's attempt at Solo.See, out of context, would you really recognize those two as Ford, let alone even being the same sculpt?
Something to keep in mind. . . the Chinese do not respect foreigners. . . or at the very least, the Chinese factory owners will NOT give foreign manufacturers the same quality they give their fellow Chinese manufacturers.
At my current job, part of our product line is display packaging and our buyer deals with China frequently, I've talked with him about it. He backs up what I've long suspected, that the factories are actively trying to screw you over. You ask the factory to send you a sample, and it's great, then you pay them thousands for the production and the product falls apart when you get it. I've read in other entrepreneur forums, and how to deal with China, and it's expected to haggle back and forth, and just walk away and make the factory chase after you to make the deal. Too many small US companies are begging to get their stuff made in China, and the factories are taking advantage. Budget Stark said it in one of his videos, the Chinese are racist. They just won't give foreigners the same quality.
I hate to see the prices Sideshow is charging now, and I won't pay it, I would if there were more accessories or if I felt there was some value there, but I understand what they go through as far as manufacturing goes. My experience tells me that even if Sideshow went to DID's factory or Hot Toys' factory, the resulting product wouldn't be of equivalent quality. I will anxiously await Rook's photos of Hoth Han, but I'll be amazed if Sideshow can match a Chinese manufacturer's quality. It will certainly be a first.
I am giving SSC one more chance with the Snake release in 1/6th. If that is bad, I am done with them in the 1/6th market. If Snake turns out great than I will definitely be getting ToD.
Yeah. I'm pretty much right there in the same boat with you. I had Snake on PO, but I decided to cancel and wait for in-hand pics. IF Snake turns out well then I will place my order and will probably go ahead and PO Indy.
Me too man.I'm very impressed by the proto.
Me too man.
I so very much want ONE nice high end Dr Jones.
Have no 1/6 Indy figures right now.
This is it 100%
Fords sculpt remains elusive after so many attempts it's not funny and that's the problem. We very rarely see his character with a dead pan face.
His characters have character. You can't get that from these expressions.
Funny how that works out sometimes.I have 5 1/6 Indys and I STILL very much want ONE nice high end Dr. Jones!
