The Indy Acquisitions ("Look What I Found") Thread

[IrishJedi]

BTW, I noticed today a slight variation between the two Marion figures. Other than the monkey (which is the same one that comes with the Monkey Man fig, of course) the Marion in the Deluxe 2-Pack is actually sligtly weathered on the bottom part of her pants and her shoes (due to the streets of Cairo). Hasbro, you sneaky dogs.

That Crystal Skull relic looks a bit small. I'm guessing it's well below 1/6 scale?

No, I'd say it's close to 1:6 scale... maybe a little smaller. Though it's hard to tell without seeing lots of shots of people holding it in the film. I suppose to true test will be comparing its size to the one that comes with the Gentle Giant crate paperweight.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I guess it's just the angle in the pic. It didn't look much bigger than the one the 4" Indy is holding.

That's the one I want the least, so I predict that it will be the one I get when they ship this week.

Who comes with what relics? (So I know who to get. )

Oh, it's at least twice as big as the one that comes with the 4" figure. It's probably because it's all the way in the back in the pics.

The quality of it isn't one of the best, though... it's basically just a 2-up (or 3-up) of the smaller one. Still worth having, though... and it comes with Spalko, which is a figure most will want.

If you don't want the skull, lmk.. Hehehe

So how is the swordsman in hand???

Looks a little short. But this is one I need.

standing him up against Darth Maul he is a little shorter. Its a good figure with a pretty good amount of articulation.

Thankfully, I was able to get a full set of the GG variations thanks to a friend... so I don't have to deal with them directly (or the inconvenience at SDCC). The skull is actually VERY cool, but my favorite two pieces are the Idol and Grail. They're metal and actually quite heavy.

 

[galactiboy]

The 12" Swordsman looks to have a pretty nice sculpt. I think it'd be pretty easy to convert him to a new body and end up with a solid figure.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, that and Mutt both have really good sculpts (especially for Hasbro). They're like the Dooku and Jango of this line.

The GG one is awesome. Very nice cracked crystal effect. It's big though, about the size of the Hasbro 3 3/4 Ark. Height wise about the same as a 1:6 head but obviously much longer.

 

[stshammgod]

If anyone has an extra crate with the crystal skull in it, please let me know. I'm interested.

 

[The Josh]

I'm anxious and curious to see what I get from GG with my Indy crate especially since I just ordered the Grail Diary and Journal set.

 

[choopie]

I found something tonight that I didn't even know was out: The LIFE board game, Indiana Jones Edition... exclusive to Target. $19.99. I grabbed one and will snap a quick pic.

Yeah, I spotted that while trolling the Web yesterday. Thought you already knew about it, or I would have said something.

 

[choopie]

I just watched Temple of Doom last night and I really want the Mola Ram mugg.

Yeah, I watched TOD again the other night. Anything with Temple of Doom stamped on the package, I'm buying.

If you spot the Lando Mighty Mugg, I highly recommend it. He's a great little figure.

 

[the angry orc]

lol...i watched TOD last night also. there are about a bajillion figures they could make from that movie alone (ok maybe not a bajillion) and i think i would grab them all.

Looking at the 12" ones, although I bought none, he was the one I was most tempted by. It's a very good face sculpt and as the clothing covers him completely switching to another body for hands and poseability should not e difficult. They didn't have the German officer where I saw the others.

Hasbro said they were releasing seven 12" this year, who are the other two?
