The NEXT RAIDERS Figure?

[pjam]

What are the odds for a new 1/6 Indy announcement--- TONIGHT?

I'm saying we've got a 20% chance.... Might be optimistic.

I think we gotta shot there, DN. I'm hoping we'll see new prod fig shots or the announcement for a new fig this week or next.

 

[Batty]

Toht! Toht! Toht!

 

[pjam]

Toht! Toht! Toht!

Hey Batty, can you keep an eye out for 12" Indy Pics showing up on Asian Boards? Please...

Will do!

they can do short round just use the hobbits body

They could have used the Hobbit body for the other Hobbits too.

I voted for Marion. I'd love to get her
in either her Bar outfit or her Cairo
outfit. Her exclusive piece should be
the dress Belloq gave her in the desert.
On a side note, I wonder if she'd have
rooted or sculpted hair?

Oh, man...They won't give us an extra dress when they can sell an entire other figure in that garb for $70+ and people will eat it up!

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

So how many people think THIS line is on hold too?

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

This line on hold?! No way! Why, this line is busier than, oh, the Hellboy II license!

I voted for Marion, and I'm sticking to that preference...

 

[thenammagazine]

It'd be great to see this line turn into something like what the Bond line was and get the equivalent of a "Q" figure with a Dr. Marcus Brody and, of course, a Sallah. They could also potentially utilize the Hobbit body for a Short Round as well.

You've made the monkey cry.

I voted Marion. I'd LOVE to see her in the Raven Bar outfit with the headpiece. The Cairo outfit is a bit worn out to me in terms of use with just about every licensed item we see of her. I want something different.

 

[wookster]

SST need to start churning out some good female figures, Marion could be a good starting point. The recent Lara Croft looks pretty good'ish(wardrobe and body aside), but the buck... c,mon. Indy got a 'Prometheus' where's the female equivelent guys, the ladies make up half the population of our planet... no one like a misogynist (apart from other misogynists, and they're scum!) MAKE IT MARION!

 

[thenammagazine]

You've made the monkey cry.

Well, perhaps if you didn't spank him so hard, he wouldn't weep like that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Bah! Marion. Gonna look like their Kate/Van Helsing fig.

Bring on TOHT with melty head. What's not to like?

 

[wookster]

Bah! Marion. Gonna look like their Kate/Van Helsing fig.

If SST continue to operate in their 'it's a female figure, that'll do' universe I agree. I have both the Van Helsing figures and they are testament to figures circa 2004, but we live in a far better world now... HELLO SIDESHOW... NEW FEMALE BODY... NOT JUST NEEDED... but frankly 'required', you are meant to be 'competeing!'

 

[Wor-Gar]

OK -- Toht, down.

So what's next?

I was talking to Pjam today, and if SS continues with any more Raiders figures at all, MARION now seems to be the most likely.

So we're back to the question: which outfit?

Cairo Outfit has been done to death.

Belloq Dress is the most iconic, since she wears it for half the film, but not ideal for a jointed body.

But I have to say, for me personally, the Bar Outfit is where she's the most 'Marion": she's tough, she's wiley, she punches Indy, she smokes...

I also think the Bar Outfit is the best for the non-exposed joint issue. Also, it's the easiest sculpt because her hair's pulled back. The outfit may not be very flattering or sexy, but it would look best in 1/6th.

Anyway, here's my thoughts on what she could come with:

Bar Outfit: Ra medallion (key), shot glass, smokes, wad of cash, torch (log from fire really) and maybe the nazi gun she grabs.

Cairo Outfit: monkey, fry pan, and a basket (cool stuff actually).

Belloq Dress: not much here...maybe a torch, maybe those wedge blocks from the plane, a drinking glass and dinner knife from Belloq's table??? She really doesn't have anything too interesting. Unless they gave her the ark.

So, given all that, what's your preference?

 

[IrishJedi]

I'd be down with that.

But we need a couple of TEMPLE OF DOOM figures first.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'd prefer a MOLA RAM first actually, but I'm just saying...if they stay with RAIDERS for one more figure.
