Sideshow 1/6 ROTLA Indiana Jones Image Thread

[Captain Britain]

No reason to flame you, I agree it sill hasn't looked best in the photos, but being experienced with these figures and photos as well as Tin's photos, I can fill in gaps but if you take them at face value, I can see why they don't look the best yet. Tin's photo work is great as far as lighting and all, but I notice in a lot of the shots, there's a faintness or something to the figures that doesn't quite represent the figure best. Tin's TDK Batman shots look great but the figure itself looks a little iffy compared to the final product, I'm sure Indy'll be the same.

I do think the hatted HS looks better with every new photo, and I'll be very interested to see what a great repaint does to it. I have to disagree about TDK Batman - the figure in hand looks as good to me as any photo I've ever seen of it.

As for my calling it garish, maybe that's just the colour of the plastic, the lighting or God knows what, but I'm seeing a lot of baby colours - pink and blue (for the eyes) - when the colours that first come to mind when you think of Ford as Indy are brown (stubble) and light brown (suntanned skin). Is the plastic a standard colour? Only Indiana Jones spends a lot of time in the sun. And Ford's eyes might be blue but you never 'see' the blue the same way you look at Daniel Craig and the first thing you think is 'wow, never seen eyes as blue as that before'.

I know, picky, picky. It still looks more like Ford than the Cinemaquette at a fraction of the price.

This is rather shocking and quite frustrating. One thing that has always bothered me with the Buck body is that the arms cannot hang down to the sides naturally. I always end up having to dremel the torso. I cannot believe Sideshow did not correct this on the Prometheus.

How many people do you see naturally walking about with their arms sucked up to their body????

 

[sixtus_56]

So correct me if Im wrong but does he come with 8 hands 4 gloved and 4 bare hands.

I was wondering this myself...my arms don't naturally hang like that...in fact, I have to force my arms to go like that.

Are you on a buck?

I'd really love to see some clean pics of just the sculpt in some nice warm lighting. I'm so curious about it. Some pics look great, some look good, but I haven't seen that one that just blows me away yet.

i cant put my arms against my side like that. i usually have a broad under one arm and a 12 pack under the other.

Me too. The only one that comes close (with natural light and paint color tone) is this in box shot IMO... and it is too dark...

 

[Trevolver]

looks really cool to me!!! Definitely dig the Cairo look.

I'm curios whether or not the bendable whip can be coiled tightly enough to fit into the whip holster. I love how that whip is looking when it's coiled.

Trev, you do know the figure comes with a coiled whip as well as the poseable one, or you trying to just coil the poseable one anyway?

But, but then you can't start constant threads of complaints!??!?!?!

It would kind of limit his posts wouldn't it?

I don't see why you couldn't, Trev.

Guess we'll know soon enough...

I'm pretty happy with what I'm seeing so far!

A few months back I was actually contemplating canceling this one, just to streamline a bit on the 1:6 stuff, but after seeing these pictures I'm glad I didn't. I'm excited to see more and can't wait to get this one in hand. It looks like it might be one of the most fun figures of the year for me - lots of options, lots of gear, lots of poses.

I've got a good feeling about this one.

 

[e5sargemac]

But the paint job still looks like ^^^^ to me which is worrying when you consider those pics look like they were taken in natural light. And the eyes are too doll-like.

Umm...maybe because it is a doll?

I'm jazzed w/ this one. It has turned out a lot better than I expected. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can start tweaking it!

 

[IrishJedi]

This figure is dying to be weatherd. Anyone wanna post some tutorials for doing so?

I'll be doing a weathering/futzing/perfecting tutorial for this figure. Jacket, pants, shirt, boots, the whole 9.

I'm even making a Streets of Cairo version with one of the 3 I have on order and will post one for that, too (sweat stains, etc).

 

[CelticPredator]

I might use the extra head for a KOTCS Indy....if at all possible.

 

[IrishJedi]

One of my hatless heads will be going on an Indy as German Soldier figure, which is already sitting here waiting.

 

[dwing]

Nice, I only got one but will be using the 2nd hs for the professor Indy.

 

[Puay]

Look splendid! Glad that I ordered this one.
