1/6 Sideshow 1:6 Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom

I was going my what a board member said comparing the SSC Luke Hoth to the new Luke X-Wing. I have Luke Hoth in hand and he's a little too tan (not as bad as Han, who doesn't really look Caucasian) and the member said the Luke X-Wing was a darker than Luke Hoth - a "California tan" skintone he said.

The tone on xwing doesn't look like hoth and HT look looks more dark.

From my impression of the Hoth vs X-Wing Lukes (don't have the X-Wing in hand), the Hoth figure is more of an olive skin tone, whereas the X-Wing Luke looks more like an actual tan -- more orangy dark. I noticed the same thing with the Hot Toys Han vs Hoth Han, the HT Han is almost an orangy tan look that seemed close to as dark, but since it had more tonal variation and represented more of a Tan look, it looks better--also, Han was tan in ANH and not so much on Hoth.

I think if Indy is the color of X-Wing Luke it will be okay, hopefully they just don't overcompensate with him given the darkness of some of their other figures lately.

Just got a delay email looks like January

I'm fine with a delay. Every other collectible company is releasing a ton of product that they've had backlogged for months. A delay on Indy gives the wallet a chance to breath after the holiday.

Gah! Oh well. Like Jay said, it's good to give the wallet a break. Still looking forward to it though. Very curious to see how good or bad it comes out.

Not sure all these delays for January will give the wallet a break what with Christmas Credit Card Bills arriving in January!

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Yeah, but then the January purchases will come in the February bill!

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I'd be fine with the delay if five other things I had on order weren't delayed to January, too! Grr.

Ah, well, this makes the whole thing more suspenseful, I suppose!

 

[siquisiri]

Delayed email !!! DAMN i got TOO many coming in Jan!! LOL

 

[zombini]

SS, now you got time, make us proud with the paint app!

 

[TaliBane]

I already have the full Indy outfit - if this headsculpt doesn't nail it, then to me there's no point at all to buying this figure.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Strange, I still haven't gotten the delay email...

You sir, are adorable!

I'm sure we'll all find something else to put that money towards so we feel like we're getting a collectible for christmas!
That is the way of the freak in all of us, unfortunately

 

[juanca33]

Well I got a Ps4 with battlefront. I had this month Indiana Jones and Returns Batman.

 

[TonTon]

Anyone get a shipping notice for this from SS? I see a US vendor saying December 30th release, but maybe that's an old estimate.

 

[siquisiri]

Postponed until jan

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Oddly I never got the postponement email.

Does Sideshow do the Toy Fair coming up? Just wondering if we'll see a production Indy there.

 

[juanca33]

I didn't see sideshows name on the showfloor map but maybe Hot Toys will represent them overseas as sideshow does the same for them in the US
