That can't REALLY be the INDIANA JONES PF Exclusive can it???

[Indiana Fett]

Sideshow, Sideshow, Sideshow. I love your products. Like many (most) on these boards I have spent countless stacks of coin on some of the coolest movie collectibles out there. All thanks to Sideshow.

The ONE item I have been jonesing for (hehe) all along has been a Premium Format Indiana Jones. After seeing the John Wayne PF at a local comic shop, I got to thinking about how stellar an Indiana Jones PF from my favorite film of all time, Raiders of the Lost Ark would be.

I even started a thread way back in July '06 to get the ball rolling. It worked for Tom and his "FETT!!!, FETT!!!, FETT!!!" chant, so I started an "INDY!!!, INDY!!!, INDY!!!" chant.

Now we've finally seen it. The teasers, the Toyfare cover, and finally, the production blog. Like so many, I was DYING to see what the exclusive would be. I figured (like most) that it would be a swap-out right hand holding revolver. Now that would have been SWEET! Sadly, it's the 'hatless' Indiana head. Great sculpt, but I'll never display Jones in adventure gear without his trademark fedora.

What I don't understand is that Trevor Grove mentioned that you guys wanted this to capture the 'essence' of Indy from Raiders without him being 'scene specific'...yet on this statue, he'll always be holding the idol?! That sounds pretty scene specific to me.

Switch it up to have the revolver in the right hand and the whip in the left, and THAT'S the essence of Indy!

Sideshow, please, please, PLEASE make this happen. If for no-one else, then at least for me!

Looks like I'll have to start a whole new thread..."REVOLVER!!!, REVOLVER!!!, REVOLVER!!!"

Is this really worth this much controversy?

The PF was too perfect. They needed something to ^^^^^ and complain about

 

[Karma]

yeah let's start another Indy PF thread

Indy DOES come with a revolver, I'm not sure where that rumor got started. There will be a 1/4 scale revolver with every Indy, in his holster - removeable. The idol is also planned to be removeable on the final production figure - so you could pose him holdin' a sandwich or something

There is a flip side to this method--starting a chant will get your PF produced, but the trade off is that you will have to sacrifice a cool exclusive.

That's freakin hilarious!!

Could put the 6th scale figure in his hand... that would be pretty funny.

Maybe we can get someone to sculpt a hat?

If that sandwich as tomatoes on i'm sticking to the regular version, otherwise count me in

You were named after the dog....

 

[Joranthalus]

i agree the hatless indy is pointless. But really, the regular version is perfect as it is, so i can save a few $ and buy it elsewhere.

His hat is part of what makes Indy Indy. It is iconic and he looks kinda stupid without it. The change-o-head on the Iron Man Comiquette makes sense; with and without armor. Hat and hatless on Indy makes no sense at all. Why not get a little feedback before committing to such a waste of an exclusive. IMO, people are just getting the exclusive to get the exclusive and will never display it without the hat.

Man i love the sandwich version

 

[MinMay]

They should make the exclusive by having the skull sitting on a stand just like Dr. Doom exclusive.
