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

[SAB]

I presume this figure will also feature 'hat hair', just as their Luke X-Wing did, even though they didn't mention it in the description or show the Friar Tuck hair piece

The first production pictures we're likely to see probably won't be from Sideshow, because they don't seem to update their product pages until months after the actual release.

Oh ok, thanks. Here's hoping!

Happy to oblige, I'm sure no one on this board is really made of money. We just like collecting. And if it's in light of my favourite hero, waiting is'nt an option. Will definitely share my views about the figure once inhand

Awesome - truly appreciated! I'm sending good vibes that this one's the one that turns out to be a true must-have piece!

I remember Rook said the same thing after photographing X-Wing Luke. That one turned out to be a very good figure, but only with the helmet on.

Seeing as Indy can't hide behind a visor the indication is that Sideshow managed to get the eyes and painting closer to the prototype than they managed with Luke.

I really don't want to have to cancel this one.

Speak for yourself. I've got my back-up plan...

Just got the Sideshow e-mail pushing it to March.

With this delay, watch them (SS Factory in China) put his thumbs where his pinky finger should go. With the Canadian $ tanking and the delay (and no NRD) this will likely be on the chopping block...

Urrgggghhh!

 

[IndianaPaul]

I got the same e-mail. Episode VIII gets pushed back and then this. This is unprecedented sucking.

Just got the Sideshow e-mail pushing it to March.

I saw this thread was bumped and was going to come in and sarcastically post - "So has it been bumped to March yet?"

 

[Jeepindude]

Boooooooo

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Another ****ing delay.

I think it's hilarious when they say " your hand crafted item is taking time "

I think it's hilarious when they say " your hand crafted item is taking time "

That is hilarious, and also a little disturbing because they wrote the same thing in the HT Leia delay email:

We are working hard on your hand crafted item and wanted to update you on the arrival status of your item.

Sideshow, I don't want you anywhere near my HT Leia until she's finished!

 

[matj007]

Strange, not had the email yet. But given on the site it now says March, just awaiting the inevitable

How is an injection molded head that's machine painted considered "hand crafted"?

How is an injection molded head that's machine painted considered "hand crafted"?

Somebody has to take all those perfectly moulded and painted heads and 'hand work' them with much bigger paint brushes so there's no mistaking that they're a Sideshow product.

Got the same email too. Don't mind waiting too much, but of course the inevitable happens and all my pre-orders bottleneck and end up shipping at the same time!

The sad thing is that when I saw the email in my inbox, I actually thought it was going to say that it was shipping soon!

 

[juanca33]

I have them on flex pay and I can always call them and change my payments. I have indy and Batman Returns at the same time.

Damn it!!

That equates to further delayed production photos, too... jeez, I hope this is the last time.

 

[jedibear]

Don't mind the delay. At least we know it's coming....unlike, say, Ripley or Marty II....

I'm hoping some pictures surface soon though....

This figure has me very anxious. A fumble by Sideshow here and it will be the final nail in the coffin for INDY collecting (unless they actually do make another movie).
