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

[Mad Old Lu]

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

Thanks!

Yeah I remember last year that's when we saw the first production Hoth Han Solo I think. But that was Star Wars so who knows if we'll get to see Indy too.

Just got an email that this have been delayed again until Feb

I hope it never comes out.

The disappointment of the actual thing might be...too disappointing.

Delayed till February. Damn

I think I might cancel it, this smells like snake plissken all over again but with less port strike. Snake plisken released like 4 or 5 months after original date. Im not trusting sideshow again. Hot Toys all the way for me.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Bummer about the delay. But I have to say that I'm losing more and more faith in Sideshow. X-Wing Luke didn't turn out too bad, but now that I see that QMX was able to get a fantastic, HT level headsculpt, it really makes me wonder why Sideshow isn't pushing for that kind of high level quality.

Kudos to QMX for not settling for the inferior product that the original factory gave them and going the extra mile to find a better factory.

There's no X-Wing helmet for Indy to hide under, so I can see myself cancelling this when production photos emerge.

The eyes on Luke are evidence that SS didn't turn a corner at the same time they raised their prices.

However, what are the odds that SS start shipping this out before there's a chance for production photos to circulate?

Exactly what I was afraid of and why I canceled on this one. May pick it up depending on the eventual production / in-hand shots.

Hey guys - new to the forum, and I'm quite literally THIIIIIIIIIIIIIISss close to preordering this 1/6 ToD figure...

Do SSC really take that hard of a hit from production to in-hand quality? And can the same thing be said of them just lately? (I'm aware of the Nathan Drake fiasco, but weren't Deadpool & Snake Plissken well-received?)

What do I do!? I so very badly want an Indy 1/6th in my collection, this one (to me) looks quite nice, and:

1. I was quite unimpressed with HT's Raiders sculpt (or any other company's 1/6th Indys thus far, for that matter)
2. I don't do customs/any kind of mods (I'm more of a display as-is from the company kind-of-guy)

 

[Asta]

Wait and see some in-hand photos. Never believe the promo images.

 

[Van_Damme]

HA!!!

My only concern - when in-hand photos come around, will the figure "scarcify" itself at that point? (i.e. sold out, then $300-400 on eBay?)

 

[choopie]

I don't think you'll have any issues picking this up once it comes in stock. Indy items tend to sit for a while before selling through. This isn't Marvel or SW.

 

[Van_Damme]

Ahh, ok - very much appreciated!!

I'm so curious, however - isn't there quality improving with the last couple of 1/6 figures, though?

 

[galactiboy]

Was hoping to see some productions pics of this by now... I'm not particularly interested in buying, but it will be interesting to see if they deliver on this one or if we get a trainwreck.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Yep, no chance this will sell out any time soon. Maybe the ex might, but the regular will definitely be around.

Ok, good to know!!

(Have SSC really been that atrocious?)

With their figures? Yes. Just look at photos of their Nathan Drake figure.
