I got all my Indy Deluxe figures today from Indy shop. So other than the last wave that was PO not long ago I'm done. I also got a vintage Indy comic.

Picked up Marion and Monkey Man today. I keep eyeballing that Belloq, but I'd rather have him in the white suit.

The Belloq comes with a Golden Idol that is actually better (and truer to 1:6 scale) than the one that comes with the 12" Talking Indy. Plus, he looks cool with the 3.75" Ark.

Good stuff.... thanks for sharing... Too bad they didn't use the whip drag feature though.

That was a pretty good video posted, and yeah I was kinda hoping to see the whip drag but oh well.

Here are all three idol's

and goes belloq w/ark

I was just wondering, does the three stickers you need to send off need to be from the same set (raiders or crystal), or can they be mixed? Cause if they can then I can send off for the mail-away now.

No, the stickers can be in ANY combination. They can even come from multiples of the same figure.

BTW, you will need 4 for the 1:6 Ark Mailaway and 6 for the Crystal Skeleton w/ Throne figure.

 

[The Josh]

Both mine have been mailed! Can't wait to get them!

Well I got 4 12" figs, and 6 single carded figures (few from each set). Good to know, cause I would of hated to have to buy a character I didnt really want....alright I did but the crystal skull was worth it, or would of really hated mailing them all out and then finding out they had to be for their series. You get the picture I hope.

Yeah, me either. I wonder how long we'll have to wait. I know the certificates say "Allow 10-12 weeks", but who knows.

I think the best indication will be when they start cashing the checks.

Yep! You should be all set.

Picked up my first Indy figures today (well, not counting the one set of Adventure Heroes I got last night). I got young Indy, Crystal Skull Indy, and "native" Indy with the ark. I'm actually a lot happier with these figures than I thought I'd be. I'm not much into this scale anymore, but I like the way they've done the outfits in general, and the sculpts are fairly good for figures like this. The ark is also nice, although I wish they had included some poles so it could be carried. I guess that can be improvised somehow using some wooden skewers or something.

My main complaint is that the eyes on many of the figures I saw were really wonky. There was a lot of variation between figures, and most of them were not what I would call acceptable. Since there are a lot of people just buying Indy and none of the other figures, the iconic Indy figure seems to be the hardest to find, so that made finding one with good eyes even harder. Anyway, I may end up buying several more now.

I would think it would be sooner. I mean these just came out and hopefully not many have sent stuff in yet.

I'll be watching my bank account to see.

Young Indy? I didn't think that wave was out yet?

 

[Bardoon]

Got a bunch of Indy stuff recently! :chew

From IndyShop:
-Ultimate Indiana Jones Guide (awesome! With some great detailed maps and information!!! Even Indy "Expanded Universe" as well!)
-"Raiders of the Lost Ark" vintage-look shirt
-Indy:KotCS Movie Poster (not the teaser one...I have that one already)

I also picked up two of the Hasbro KotCS Indy figures. The one where he's in full Adventure Gear with the Crystal Skull and the one where he has no jacket and a RPG Rocket Launcher. I made sure to pick ones up with "good eyes"...thankfully they had some that were well-done.

I have to say that the Hasbro KotCS Indys have the best looking sculpt and I've found that their eyes are more consistantly painted BETTER than the RotLA Indy figures that are also out. I don't know what happened with the young Indy...at least I can see Ford in the KotCS figures but I don't see him at all in the young Indy figures.

I think by Young Indy he means the RotLA Indy figures.

 

[The Josh]

Thats what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure.

 

[icruise]

Yes, I mean the one from Raiders with the golden idol.
