The INDIANA JONES Thread

[pjam]

Good thing I'm only buying Raiders stuff.

That gramps pic is not easy to look at... but I'm sure Harrison will look reasonably decent in the film.

Relax:

Dude, I am LOVING that pic.... Shia looks like a young Harrison there, scruff and everything.. Harrison still looks like Indy, really looking forward to this.

Here's another pic of Shia from the set that reminds me of the Map Room scene in Raiders..

GAWD! I can't wait for the first Indy offering!!! I definitely plan to have a PF and a 1/6 figure at minimum but I'm dying to be completist with this stuff. I'm hoping for environmental pieces!!

 

[dekadentdave]

Definitely need environmental pieces! The Map Room! The Peruvian Idol chamber! The Well of Souls! The Temple of freaking Doom!

 

[Trevolver]

this movie is going to be a joy! those photos rock!

think we'll get any announcements before '08?

 

[The Mike]

Its definitely possible. When they announced the Star Wars license at SDCC we got Luke announced and PreOrdered in November. I'm hoping for Indy in November!!!

That would be excellent. At least a pre-order this year for 2008 delivery!

Indiana in classic Raiders garb, with exclusive Staff of Ra headpiece... (something different than the usual Peruvian idol would be nice).

What is the timeframe of this flick? Is he wearing the same clothes for 20+ years???

It's set in 1957 (21 years after RAIDERS), so obviously yeah... his field gear never changes.

 

[pjam]

How is it obvious his field gear, outfit, weapons, etc, wouldn't change in 21 years? Seems more like a Costume continuity issue rather than reality.

I'm sure it's been ripped and destroyed and replaced dozens of times over. That's just the type of clothes that Indy is most comfortable in when he goes on his "expeditions."

Ultimate Soldier did a 1:6 German motorcycle with sidecar that is on eBay quite regularly. It's been used in more than a few Last Crusade customs!

Thanks Outlander, I thought there was one of these out there. Looks pretty good, although I'm not sure how accurate it would be, but definitely serviceable.

Just like how Steve Irwin wore his khakis ALL THE TIME - for official engagements, snorkelling, the lot!

Plus, as we saw at the beginning of The Last Crusade, Indy's 'expedition' attire is a send-up/tribute to the character of 'Fedora' (played by Richard Young) who places the classic piece of headwear on young Indy's head. If 'Fedora' wore that get-up in 1912, and Indy in the 30's...20 to 25 years later...why can't he wear it another 20 years after that?

Is Ford an Alcoholic? I'm seeing the signs of it all the time. He appears drunk all the time now too.

He's a pot head.

 

[metaphorge]

Relax:

What I'm curious about is it looks like Shia is wearing an "Indy" jacket in this photo as well. Surely the two wouldn't just dress alike. Or is he wearing the same jacket as in that other photo?

 

[stshammgod]

I guess beiong a pothead would do the trick... Gotta burn all that money on something I guess...
