It's a split shipment so depends on which batch you make it in but sometime within the next 30 days.

Here's a couple of 'small, in-hand, camera phone' pictures courtesy of Corner Store Comics. Looks like this one needs a tiny bit of futzing...but looks pretty cool! Enjoy...
Looks like Indy in the left pic is a bit taken aback to seeing a duplicate of himself standing next to him.

Great stuff, Indy! Thanks. Looks like they resculpted his lip/mouth area, the smirk is gone. Besides the body looking a bit thin, this came out exceptionally well. Great work sideshow, you have much to be proud of here...
Personally, I preferred the proto sculpt, but this is an amazing representation of the Character. I think this will become a grail piece in time if it isn't already.

Yeah, I'm sure the lighting on these photos is throwing it WAY off. The jacket looks 'army green' on my monitor!
We'll have to wait for some solid 'in-hand' pics on this one. Aside from the harsh lighting, it looks really promising to me!
Oh, and as for those HI-RES pics:

Every shot I've seen of this statue, like the one posted on the left above makes the sculpt look really bad. Definitely not his good angle. I'll be posing him slightly turned so he's looking straight on so it doesn't really matter. That shot just drives me crazy.

I don't know about that Paul. I've just been comparing the NEWEST high-res shots with one's I grabbed of the proto at SDCC and a fe pics of the unpainted sculpt from the SS blog, and it looks the same to me. Maybe Trev can weigh in on whether any changes were made to the sculpt. Trev...

We need a side by side comp shot, I just don't see that curled lip sneer anymore on his right upper lip.
The Hi Res pics show it clearly. In fact, the hi res show that his face is also NOT shiny anymore...a good thing, as that really bugged me about the proto.
There's no resculpt here -- no way SS or even LFL would touch Trev's awesome sculpt. No way.

I think any apparently differences are due to the very harsh lighting in the Sideshow photos (just look at how different the color of the hat is) and a slight difference in angle (notice that you can see more of the ribbon on his hat in the Sideshow photo). The light lets you see farther inside the mouth in the Sideshow pictures, which makes the expression seem a bit different. I see no reason to think that there has been a resculpt.
The eyebrows are definitely different, and I think that's where the biggest change in his expression is coming from. Looks like more teeth in the production piece as well. Stubble came out surprising well.

My god, are you sure about the sculpt
look:
(production pics)
This is not the cinemaquette, its is the best representation of Indiana Jones ever, by Sideshow Collectibles!
That shot really reinforces how half-assed the mouth sculpt/paint on the Frodo PF is.

I'll second that. If it wasn't some kind of factory error, then whoever approved it should be sacked.

i Think the production one looks hidious, its looks all faded and cheap. I'm actualy very dissapointed in these pics and i hope that in my case it is just bec the pics dont do it justice. but it looks shocking so i hope it really is the harsh lighting of the new sideshow photos.

Looks the same to me. You just have to factor in a strong bright light shining from above in the second picture.

Come on man. That second shot is obviously different. His eyebrows look comic-bookish and it almost looks like his eyes have moved up on his face a little bit.
That's not even mentioning the hat...
It's still a cool piece, but it's a lot different from the one I thought I was ordering.
