The INDIANA JONES Thread

What? Thats a great pic of the Animated Indy Statue. Wait, its not an animated statue??

[sarcasm]

I also love the super classy cerulean blue explosion background and the skillfully cut out edges of the statue photo. Companies like Sideshow could learn a few things from GG about presentation!

Hmmm... I like the Sarcasm brackets, they could probably help stem a number of message board miscommunication.

GG uses a white background. "CoolToyReview" added the background, but it's a larger picture so I posted that.

Either way, it's not a very good statue. I think it's mostly the eyes.

I want to see the Raiders horse, personally...I'd LOVE a statue of the Indy boarding the truck. Of course, it would be hard to get away with not filling the back full of Nazis...

I don't think this offering from GG is that bad though.. Just doesn't scream INDY to me...

[Collector Freak]

I really do think it's just the eyes...

An Indy offering that doesn't scream Indy isn't an Indy offering.

And yeah, I would love a dio of the Raiders Truck chase!!!

Of course, I'm just Raiders-crazy enough to buy a 1/6th scale truck too.

Also, his mouth seems a bit out of whack... if you just saw the head you could still tell its supposed to be Indy, just not a great version.

I don't if it's just me or the angle of the photo, but that horse's front legs look awfully small and out of proportion in relation to the rest of its body. Horses happen to be my favorite animal and I'd really rather see him on the Arab from Raiders. That was a horse worthy of Indy!

Doh! My bad.


I agree though... Honestly Indy isn't too bad, but something about the horse just seems toy-ish. Maybe 'cause it's smooth as glass... And I'm no equine anatomy expert, but I think Mudshark is right about the legs. I generally don't like to criticize sculpts though, they really did a damn fine job! It could be a LOT worse.

 

[Slingblade]

I hope they do a diorama of Indy replacing the statue with the bag of sand from the opening of Raiders. Have Indy hunched down with both arms extended ready to flop it on there.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is to see 1/6 scale Indy up for pre-order.

Love,

How about a PF?

A poster in another thread was hinting at this -- a PF from a major line in '08 that won't be a huge surprise but is a surprise that they're starting the line this way.

See RogueJedi's comment in the middle:

Good I want to order a Indy PF anyways!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Bad news...

He didn't hint, he actually told me what it was... and it wasn't Indy.

It is a whole new line.... kinda....

Unofficial pic of the GG Indy bust, courtesy of WizardUniverse.

All I have to say is...yikes. If this is the final product, so far GG is really botching this license.

 

[galactiboy]

Jeez that looks terrible...

 

[The Josh]

Hum........ I'll keep my PO but man so far not so good.

 

[Collector Freak]

I don't generally trust unofficial images, but that's awful.

Here's hoping Sideshow can perform a miracle.

 

[GGC]

Here are some High Res ones we got over at GGC, they say Product not Final. I personally think that pic is a bad angle, I seem to see the Harrison Smirk there.

 

[Darklord Dave]

It may be the angle, the hi-res one does look better. Anyway we all know better than to judge based o a single preview pic - DON'T WE?
