The Bottom one is the pose i'll be using atleast unitl my exclusive Belloq arrives then i'll have him cotemplating the idol.

This turned out amazing and is making me anticipate the PF even more!

 

[gdb]

Wow! He looks really good.

 

[icruise]

Well, there's certainly no doubt in my mind that this is the best Indy figure ever, and probably the best Ford sculpt (not including the PF which I am reserving judgment on until it's released).

Justin is just the alpha party pooper.

Josh, you should read some of the comments being said about Indy over at OSW. In comparison, I seem like a Sideshow apologist!

All i'll say is this is the best Indiana Jones i have ever seen and it beats the Medicom attempt in my opinion (not to say that medicoms isn't good but for the price iwould go sideshows everytime)

We guys over at OSW are a little harder to please, Its our 'stock in trade' to 'crit' a figure and then improve on what we're given. Which we will do. We take the 'best of the best' and end up with something that surpasses all of that.
It is after all a Customisers/kitbash site and not a collectors one.

I'm getting more and more exciyed for this too finally arrive next week!

Like someone said on OSW I wish I could just buy this figure and display it without having to get it repainted, weathered, etc.

It's supposed to be a completed figure not a hobby kit, especially for that price, which is nowhere near justified by what's in the box.

You do. Those guys aren't even worth the time. They're looking to redo everything so they have to gripe.

I'm just going to display it as is. I like the way it looks as do several here. These figures if you want them 110% perfect need some extra work here or there for the most part. So like I said for most of us whats in the box is justified right now by the pics I would imagine but if its not for you that stinks.

I have to agree. Although, I think this figure is very good. It isn't the home run that Gandalf is. The paint apps don't look that great to me in the stubble area. Hot Toys can do that effectively,so why can't SS? The shirt doesn't look that great but I guess that can be fixed. I wonder if Shawn will make us some jackets and shirts for our Indys? That would be a great solution. I think the people on OSW are just more realistic in their judgement and the people here sometimes pepper too much praise when it isn't always necessary. I can't wait to get this Indy though but he will require some work in order for him to look his best.

Wait... aren't you one of those who has defended the $150 Medicom figure???

 

[EVILFACE]

That's cause Medicom makes the bestest figures in the world!!!!

LEADERS! UNITE!!!!!

How about people here are just happy with the figure as it is and no group is right or wrong, people just feel what they feel regarding these figures. I can't believe how often folks are criticized for how they feel about the piece like there's an absolute definitive view towards it and you're either in agreement with that or something's wrong with you. It's all about what you're looking for in the piece, some will be satisfied, some won't, simple as that. It's like dating, if someone's not for you, they're not for you, no matter how much the rest of the world may think they're a catch, or you fall for someone no one can understand why you've fallen for them. There's room for all opinions.

Sorry, I am not trying to criticize anyone for their opinions. This is a Sideshow forum, so of course the people here are going to throw on the praise. That's to be expected. I just think that he doesn't deserve the same amount of praise as Gandalf does. With Gandalf, I can't find much to say that isn't 100% positive. I am not even saying that I am completely dissatisfied with the Indy from the pictures. I am excited to get him in the mail, and I know that I will be happy with him. However, I don't think he is perfect as is from what I can tell from the photographs.

 

[drbrad1975]

If you mean the Newline "1930's Civilian Boots", definitely not. Those are easily recognisable as Aldens.

If they aren't the newline shoes, then where did they come from? I personally like the body switch and the new shoes added to the Indy. The wider shoulders make the head look more proportional in my opinion.

 

[rebelpig]

drbrad- The shoes are 1:6 Redwings, you can pick the up on e-bay.

No-one is critiscising anyone, if your happy, good for you, in fact excellent, I couldn't be happier for you. 'Some' people won't be, they will always want more, if their happier 'tweaking' a figure that's their choice.
I've never been entirely happy with any figure I've bought, so I adjust them or make them over, or make an alternative. And d'you know what? I'm still never entirely happy.
I think the Indy issue tipifies this, most of us have waited a long time for a really good Indy and a lot of hope was invested in this one. If it still falls short of some peoples expectations, then that isn't necasarilly Sideshows fault. It would have fallen short for some anyway regardless of how good it was.
I have only ever seen three Indiana jones 1:6 figures, that if I owned (and I do own one of them) I would never have to touch.
One, by Arnie Kim, (the one I own), the other two by Feng. (wich I'd give my left nut for!).
But even those when mentioned spark a discussion. Unfortunately Ford is too old now to laser scan, as he was then, and make the head, Da Vinci has been dead over 500 years so can't paint it for us. The rest could be put together with expense and effort.
So we'll never see the Indy figure ALL of us want.
I think we may have though if the 'fabled' and now sinking into '1:6 Figure Myth' Takara genx core had ever been made.
Any way, ask yourselves what 'fun' would this hobby be if we got that 'HOLY GRAIL' we all seek? Surely the adventure is in the chase?

Sideshow oriented forum or not, I don't see how anyone can look at these pics and see a ^^^^ty figure. For $90 people are getting a fantasic mass produced Indiana Jones figure. It looks just like the character.
