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

[DarthNeil]

If you only get 1 Indy from the first two waves get the Crystal Skull Indy... It's got the best sculpt that looks the most like Ford and the holster isn't so seemingly huge...

yah i bought my son the hulk hands that make all the noise instead of the whip as i figured he could do less damgae to someone with big, oversized plush hands. not my brightest move...as i'm sitting there minding my own business when i suddenly get tagged in the side of the head to the sound of 'hulk smash' and 'you're making me angry'!

Too funny!

Well, my deluxe figures from Indy Shop when I got the notice said would be here today but have been delayed until the 14th.

I'm really like the Deluxe figures... much more than I thought I would. I was probably burned too many times by the Deluxe STAR WARS figures in the past.

You'll like them.

I picked up a second Indy (from Crystal Skull) and I also picked up some WWII figs (called Extreme Detail)-- a German Nazi Lieutenant and four Afrikaner troops (dressed for the desert). I'm going to use them to set up a cool trooper jeep chase... I'll see if I can get some pics later and post them.

The only thing missing is Belloq in his Egyptian outift... Not sure if I'll put Belloq with his ceremonial dress in the display or not.

This is the company (note this isn't one of the ones that I bought-- just the first pic I found)

The Ultimate Soldier XD figures are indeed pretty cool. I used some to make a SPR figure diorama a few years ago.

I just happened to see them today (next to the PLATOON figs... hilarious) and there was one Nazi Lt. and a couple of the two pack of the Afrikaner Troopers. Anyway I think they'll blend in nicely with the Indy German troopers and it should turn out to look OK. But I'm glad I got another Indy from Crystal Skull-- It's the best of the sculpts, removeable hat, smaller holster, place for a rolled up whip, articulation,... keep the hat on and you can't tell he's an old fuddy duddy

Got the Adventure Heroes form hasbrotoyshop.com today for my son. He liked them even though he just tried to eat them. Sent for the mail away Indy on horse too.

Just realized all 6 sets were Raiders. Are any of the Crystal Skull sets out yet? I haven't bothered to look since I had my preorder.

target also has a good selection of the wwii forces of valor bravo line. they don't do any afrika korps yet just wermacht but some of them come with some decent gear...grenades, panzerfausts, etc and they look ok next to the motorcycle

You can see Wave 1 of the Titanium vehicles up for order here:

Haven't seen them anywhere else so far. Interesting that Temple of Doom is unrepresented!

I have no doubts there. I was really looking forward to getting them today and then to recheck and see it wasn't gonna happen. Ah well.

I finally picked up the remaining 3 3/4 figs I needed for the mail away today.


I noticed a Salah variation today. The torches on some are clear yellow fading into a clear orange tip. These look the best. The variant still has a clear yellow flame but with a painted on bright orange tip.

Yes, I've seen three.

Mutt/Irina
Indy/Dovchenko

I hadn't looked closely at that one, but I picked it up today after reading your post. You're right. Other than the hair, which the hat covers, it's the best of the many Indy.

The one that comes with the horse is also very good, but, on each I've seen, the color of the arms doesn't match the rest of the jacket, which bothers me.

Found the Special Edition INDY Monopoly in the wooden crate box today.

Glad that my post was helpful.

Got the KOTCS Indy's tonight at Wal-Mart along with Sala and the Cairo Swordsman. I now have enough items to get my mail away for those sized figures as well as the 1/6th Ark.

 

[IrishJedi]

The ex got my son some more 12" INDY figures and was very cool to give me the 3 extra Ark stickers. So I now have two 1:6 Arks on the way.

 

[Buttmunch]

Man I still need three Ark stickers. I only wanted the Cario Swordsman so I think I'm SOL.

 

[Entropy]

I'm sure there will be Arks on ebay and SS will come out with their version eventually.
