The INDIANA JONES Thread

[Darth Caedus]

Oh my god, that is so damn funny! Where did you find that?

Just some random Indiana Jones sight. I saw it and had to post it...laughed a good 5 minutes at work.

Ba-da --- BUMP!

I bought the Relic Hunter figure and put the clothing on an extra Han Solo SSC figure. The clothes fit perfectly and the pistol grip worked excellent for the revolver. The only thing is the headsculpt really looks much worse with Indy clothing because of the cheeks and most obviously the hair....not to mention the head is too big to have a fedora on it. I like the figure but I'm in the process of getting a custom head done for him....

That's very close to the set I have. The buttons on my shirt are a little larger, but the Jacket is the same. Strange that he says he made the clothing, I got the impression that the lady I ordered mine from made all of the costume since I asked if she could make other types of costumes to which she said she could. I planed on using the whip from Sydney Savage, but I'd love to have a real rawhide bull whip like that. But the Toy's McCoy boots have to go for some Newline Boots.

Yeah I just posted about that set the other day. I bough one set but they came at a time that my interest in Ultimate Soldier was waning. I still buy their weapon sets though. Sideshow could definitely do a set like that. they did clothing and weapon sets for the Brotherhood of Arms and Platoon series, so it's not virgin territory for them. If anything, Star Wars will likely cause a hand set to get made.
I'd love multiple hands from an Indy figure too, multiple gloved hands would be a must. I'd also want a rifle stock hand as well as a pistol grip hand. They could do multiple releases from the different films, and cover any hand combination they needed to cover including non-gloved fists.
And I hope Sideshow doesn't skip on the glove hands Han used in ANH, they're a must.

the guy (dreamntigers) is Shawn from Sovereign Studios

very talented customizer but it looks like he's had some trouble lately. there's been warnings posted here and at OSW about his practices of late. personnally i think it's probably misunderstandings but he really needs to come forward and explain some things. just looks at that site tho. he's a one man machine. even made his own body for a time. i know no one else that can do costuming, sculpting (not his strongest point), molding/casting, paint, ect.

the lady u speak of i believe is Mary. mpl59 on eBay.

she does alot of great Indy stuff, but i don't believe she's ever done the jacket as well as Shawn.

Yeah I heard about the trouble he's having on OSW, I hope he can come through since he does great work.
I'm not entirely sure that's the one I bought the costume from, the information I have doesn't match up. It might be her but I'll have to check and make sure.
Edit:
I just checked and that's not her. I bought my Indy Costume from a woman named Victoria.

You guys heard the title for Indy IV yet? Indiana Jones and the City of Gods.

I've heard that that may not be the official title, as that was actually the title of the Frank Darabont script that didn't get used...but who knows?!

On another note, I got to have a good close-up look at the Premium Format John Wayne figure the other day at a local shop and it got me thinking about how great and detailed a PF Indy would look. The accuracy and detail on the outfit, holster, gun and hat is remarkable! Man I can't wait for an ROTLA Indy PF!

Oh, and as a side note, I'm loving the 1/6 LOTR line. The detail on the costumes and gear, right down to the fake leather straps and buckles is exquisite! Let's hope when SS picks up the Jones license, they follow the detail of the LOTR line!

very interesting stuff Darth.

"16. The biblical artwork of the Hebrews carrying the Ark of the Covenant in the film was illustrated by none other than famed Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie."

'"20. As Ben Burtt was sound designer for both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series, the same source material can often be heard in both trilogies. Star Wars fans know that the dreaded Tusken Raiders from Tatooine were actually voiced by ill-tempered donkeys, but it becomes very apparent to the ear when Indy runs past a pack-donkey while being chased by the Hovitos. Listen carefully. "

They are just stringing us along like they are doing with the LOTRs line. I think it is wishful thinking.







(fingers crossed)

 

[Wor-Gar]

I hope not, but fingers crossed too. They do have a relationship with Lucasfilm so it's HIGHLY likely that they'll get some form...

I hope it's not busts and bobbleheads though.

1/6th or PF... or nothing!!!!

Many of us predicted there would be an Indy license announcement for SDCC ths year. I still think there will be. SSC should get the PF's and hopefully 12 inchers but knowing Lucas he'll only authorize Indy 4 stuff be rolled out the first year... if he does I won't buy any of it, it's ROTLA or nothing for me...

I can't imagine he'd issue Indy 4 yet... it's still so under wraps. I hope he'll issue ROTLA and the others first to whet the whistle... then, by the time we get these in hand, it will be Indy 4 time.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Come on, Sideshow, admit to me you have the Indy license. I know you do. Don't make me come down there...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well, well, well...

We're apparently going to be seeing at least some of Hasbro's offerings in San Diego. From this week's Star Wars Q&A at Boba's Bounty:

We are glad to hear about the interest in IJ - because we are pumped too! While we will be sneak-previewing some figures at Comic Con International, we have to keep the details under wraps for now. We will divulge that there are some very familiar scales as well as a few surprises in the line. Suffice to say that we have top men working on it. The same top men that have been bringing you the Star Wars line, so there should be a lot of consistency in approach.

I would also not be surprised to see a similar deal between Hasbro and Sideshow for the Indy line as we saw worked out for Star Wars 1:6 figures (assuming that Hasbro has the master toy license).

Had to post this here too. Could be great news... long awaited...
