Sideshow 1/6 ROTLA Indiana Jones Image Thread

[metaphorge]

Just got mine. No photos yet, but shortly.

The Prometheus body is not quite as tight as a HT TrueType but is NOWHERE near as floppy as I was expecting from the early reports, and is much tighter than my General Kenobi figure. Both headsculpts are amazing, photos don't do them justice. Paint is good, will at least get the eyes repainted to get rid of the 'doll dots', and might get a whole repaint. Gear looks great, very impressed with how they pulled off the jacket though it could use some weathering.

All in all, not perfect, but a quantum leap ahead for Sideshow in terms of quality. Still not quite up to HT's latest work, but damned close. Well worth the $90 and definitely the best commercially available 1:6 Indy figure out there.

My Indy arrived today, despite UPS tracking saying he was rescheduled to ship tommorrow (which was confirmed over the phone as well). First impressions...AWESOME! Totally digging him! Really surprised how much I like the jacket (despite having to thread those darn pulls in the back through the tiny d-rings). The body on mine, while looser than a buck, does not seem to suffer from the floppies as bas as some have reported. Really love everything about him, zero complaints from me. Here are some sort of rushed pics I took...sorry for the less than stellar quality. My 2 yr old was "helping" me:

Is that the Hasbro Ark metaphorge?

 

[Wor-Gar]

New pics, finally! Excellent stuff, keep it coming before someone starts up with debate again.

Its also good to hear that the more recently delivered bodies don't seem to have the same issues as the early ones... unless of course its just people's expectations have been lowered now.

Is that the Hasbro Ark metaphorge?

Nope, it's garage kit I picked up last year (I need to add some more layers of gold leaf). I haven't sent off for my Hasbro Ark yet.

Didn't think it was the Hasbro one, but that looks pretty darn nice!

Nice stuff guys, next Tuesday can't come fast enough.

Got mine today and overall I really like it. The Pro body needs a LOT more quality control though. The head/neck on mine would even stay upright and I really don't like the shoulders. Somewhere in between the TT and the Pro shoulder width would be perfect.

I switched mine to the HT TT and I really like it...

 

[guyver1]

Nice pics guys, just curious are these the exclusive versions or the regulars?

 

[RJMacReady16]

Damn the fists are killing me!

Those are one of the main selling points for me! (hurry up, CornerStoreComics!)

Very nice display!

I have a Relic Hunter that I originally was going to use to kitbash an Indy a while ago. I'm dying to find a site that'll just sell the loose Indy body/HS....

Love the fisticuffs pose there.

That might be your best display setup yet, very nice.

Lighting, lighting, lighting!!! It makes all the difference in capturing the paint apps properly, Guys. Overlit pics make it look like a doll.

So, if ya can, use natural or low light to bring the "Indy" out of it. The paint apps are quite good...

Keep an eye on Toy Anxiety. They threw up a Lara as soon as she shipped and most of her good parts went fast. They'll probably get an Indy as well but he won't stick around long.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

A few more...

 

[MaulFan]

Coco, are those the Indy hands or the True Type hands on your figure?

 

[FlyAndFight]

Sweet display, Coco!
