The Indy Premium Format Figure Countdown/Discussion Thread

I guess this makes it easier for those who really need to make a retailer discounted purchase for budget reasons--you won't be missing anything mandatory.

Exactly, that Hat Exclusive is useless. A revolver in hand would have been much better IMO.

Even the emoticon has the hat.

Of course it does...otherwise, it would just be...kinky...

Click the image, then when it opens, right click it and save it to your hard drive. The viewing system on the SS site shrinks it down a bit.

Or right click and click view image...comes up full size then...that only works in Firefox BTW...

I think the exclusive would have been better if it also included an extra hand holding his hat instead of the idol.

That would have been a pretty cool option.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Isn't one of the major character traits of INDY that his hat never comes off? So why a PF sans hat?

Maybe SS should include a loose hat as well!

 

[pjam]

I just don't understand the thinking behind this. What iconic moment in the film would prompt making this decision?

 

[Entropy]

The hatless head is ok, but a gun hand would've been much much better. I'll never display him without the hat.

The gun hand or even the staff of Ra headpiece would've been a better choice. I hope the right hand is removable at least so I can sculpt a custom gun hand.

Admit it, Sideshow probably couldn't win no matter what they choose as an exclusive... either everyone would want it, or no one wants it.

 

[Bardoon]

I might just get the regular edition so I don't have to worry about the magnets losing their grip with the exclusive.

 

[tomandshell]

I think a pistol hand would have been a nice middle ground choice. The regular will include the pistol, just not drawn. The staff headpiece or holy grail, etc. would have been a totally unique exclusive accessory and would have been a bit more sought after.

The hatless head is pretty much at the low end of the spectrum of must have exclusives.

But for many people, this is good news because they won't feel compelled to go direct now.

Actually, the more I think about it, the happier I am for that very reason. I can save $50...which goes right back into the SS machine as soon as they announce the next Indy 1/6th.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Anybody guessing a price here?

$299? $349? $399?

This is so very very true Its a lose/lose situation really.

The non hat head is a odd choice but for those like me that will get its a nice option if you want and if you pass you're not worse for wear.

I can't get the Prod Blog to load.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wait 'til Irish sees this.

Knowing him, he'll scheme how to make a German Indy PF using the extra head.

 

[Bardoon]

Another potential exclusive: Have the whip on his belt be removeable and then have a separate hand with a loose whip in it.

 

[The Josh]

I don't doubt the wheels will be turning with him.

It's overloaded!

Originally, I was thinking $300 at the least, $325 at the most.

Knowing that the exclusive is an extra head I'm now thinking $325/$350.

Must be.
