The Indy Premium Format Figure Countdown/Discussion Thread

The exclusive should follow the DOOM PF styling and give us the whole pedestal with the bag of sand already on it as if to capture the moment when he successfully made the swap.

Excellent idea!

Looks like I am gonna be getting my 1st non-horror PF

Looks ^^^^in' SICK!!!!!!

Hopefully it ships 4th quarter and I wont have to pat for it, it will be a b-day present from my wife, just like Darkness PF and the Leatherface PF!!!

It'll probably be an interchangeable hand with the revolver, though.

Do we know for certain that there will be an exclusive? If this is the standard version we are looking at, I can't imagine an exclusive that would make this piece more desirable than it already is, not even an interchangeable hand with the revolver, IMO. Perhaps the Staff of Ra headpiece?

I love the idea of the idol pedestal with the sandbag. But Trevor did say that this is more of an homage to Indy rather than scene specific. And technically speaking, such a display wouldn't be entirely accurate as Indy didn't have his whip when he made the switch. But if that is what Sideshow offered I wouldn't pass it up.

 

[IrishJedi]

There will undoubtedly be a Sideshow Exclusive version of some kind.

Isn't there always an exclusive? Besides there has to be for this PF.

Many, many PF's don't have an Exclusive, I'm thinking Gandalf, Frodo, Galadriel, Godfather, ...

 

[The Mike]

There wasn't for Frodo......I don't remember any others but I'm sure there are more.

Most PFs but not all.

But I do expect an exclusive with Indy. I have never bought a PF exclusive, but I would make an exception with this one.

I think Gandalf did but I didn't realize so many others didn't.

 

[The Mike]

Gandalf's PF EXCL completely changed the figure! It was him holding Glamdring!

 

[IrishJedi]

Unlike PFs like Galadriel, the demand for this one all but ensures Sideshow will have a much higher ES and an Exclusive version.

 

[Vince]

I think Gandalf did but I didn't realize so many others didn't.

yeah, sorry, Gandalf did

CACA...............

Who makes that? Hasbro? What happerned to Indy's left hand? Arthritis? Curse of the Monkey's Claw??

It's from Diamond Select Toys. Part of their new line of 1:4 "Talking" Figures (which will retail for about $69-99 each).

I think the left hand is mangled because they're re-using the same base figure of a previous company's Bruce Lee.

Cool. Thanks, the hand thing makes sense. The jacket looks pretty good.

Hmm, let's see. That Diamond Select piece of crap for 1/4 the price of the SS Indy PF? Or the ULTIMATE Indy for 4 times the price? I think the decision is OBVIOUS!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I actually like that 18" figure. Except for the hand that is...and the price.

 

[Darthrazz]

I don't own any PF's , but that Indy is MIGHTY tempting. It looks unbelievably REAL!

Better yet. How about the Sideshow PF INDY for 1/4 (or less) of the price of the Cinemaquette:

$1,500-$2,000:

$300-$400:
