Sideshow's making a scaled Crystal Skull for the KOTCS DVD release!!

[EVILFACE]

Honestly, I've seen lots of signs that concern me when it comes to Sideshow's dedication to the INDY licenses and how aggressive they will handly the lines:

1) The fact that they had NOTHING ready around the time of the release of the first Indy film in almost 20 years (the only of the major licensees that this was the case)

2) The choice of Exclusive in the INDY PF

3) Absolutely no INDY exclusive item of any kind at SDCC

4) Not one additional 12" INDY announcement for over 5 months.

5) Delay in the production of the one and only INDY 12" product so far.

I gotta tell ya, I'm worried. I think we might all have gotten excited a bit prematurely thinking they would tackle this with the same gusto they did SW.

Yup. They should have had figures already shipping when the movie came out and pre-orders for the next round. There was no wait to test the waters, Indy was going to sell stuff period.

Look at HT and their The Dark Knight figures which may ship next month.

Agreed... The timing wasn't the best-- but here's hoping that we get two or three announcements at SDCC that give this line legs once more.

 

[IrishJedi]

Hell, even though most of Medicom's 12" INDY figures are "meh" at best they're shipping 2 months before SSC's and were announced months after.

No way to sugarcoat it. As it stands right now, they have punted.

Yeppers. One of many reasons I am running straight to the Sideshow booth on Preview Night.

(Wearing a disguise, of course )

Yup, will be the first place I visit.

I hate to say this, but, couldn't the same thing that happened to McToys happen to Sideshow?
Right when they were the best toy figure, getting way too many licenses caused them to neglect their customer service, quality and selection.
I know Sideshow has great ideas, but maybe it's getting a little out of hand?...
I don't know...just pondering...

I actually agree!!! There too much too fast... thus why almost everything this year has been pushed back/delayed... not to mention the quality control (SIM, subject 805, Aragon PF)

I also don't think SS will anounce that many NEW items at SDCC. They have released/surprised and announced pretty much everything thats going to be displayed.

I want Sideshow to get all licenses!!!!!! They should take over all the collectibles there is!!!!!

Apparently, it's a special Best Buy DVD Gift set, which will be released when KOTCS hits home video in October/Noveber

(Don't blame me, SSC... Amazon's Germany site spoiled this one )

Got mine on preorder!!!!

 

[LewisD]

I wonder what that skull is made of, and if the skull is permanently attached to the base...

 

[Lynxje]

I'll end up getting both most likely since I have both formats.

Since bluray is backwards compatible with DVD it would be really weird if you didn't.

I'll be getting it if it comes on BR, if it's DVD-only too bad.

 

[The Josh]

I've got the BR PO with amazon. Gonna get the gift set as soon as BB fixes the website so I can. Says the ship date is Nov of 2020. Won't let me order it with my bank card.

 

[The Mike]

Has it been confirmed what scale this will be in?

 

[Nacho]

Does anyone know the price tag on this?

 

[The Josh]

Has it been confirmed what scale this will be in?

Appeard to be larger than 1:4th to me at the show.
--------------------------------------------------------------

The price is $45-50 I believe.

tried preordering this one, but instead of best buy marketing it in north america, it would appear they may only be available in the usa, i have emailed best buy canada to see if it will be available through our canadain site.

they have done this before with other special offers, the serenity special edition dvd with comic book comes to mind. seems odd, it's like we're a forgotten market up here sometimes. i mean, it's not like what people in the usa like, we up here in canada dislike. if it sells down south, it will sell up here.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I PO this through Best Buy...

Spoiler

I like that SSC & BB are including a $50.00 Gift Card!
