The INDIANA JONES Thread

[pjam]

Hey WG, what you been keeping from us all this time bro? :lol No better time to show it off! Love it! Great Custom there. Love the outfit and especially the HS expression, I like the weathered band on the hat too!

OK, since everyone is showing off their INDY, I thought I'd finally show off mine:

This figure has an interesting history: It originally belonged to Chris King (cking) and I acquired it from him in 2002. Apparently, this was one of Sovereign Studios prototype Indiana Jones figures from which he created the clothing patterns for the ones we've all seen so many times since then. Chris worked very closely with Shawn at Sovereign on this one to get all the scale and details correct for its time. When I saw, back in 2002, I just had to have it. It has a unique head sculpt I've never seen before or since. Let me know what you guys think?

My shots from 2002 -- before my kitchen became the focal point:

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks guys! Means a lot, seriously. Particularly with Indy... and since there's been so many awesome ones shown already.

And yes Jungle Jom, the hat IS big, I agree. But the flash really catches the "dirt" on it, lights it up in a bad way. In hand, the hat looks great. Oversized for the head, but great. Like I said, maybe I'll use it for SS Indy one day... but I hate to disrupt the history of this figure. It's been in some talented hands.

It's the same black jacket he wears in most of the film.

And I think Ford looks especially bad ass in that pic. :rock

I agree. Of course the whole endeavor could just end up to be one laughingstock of a film or...Ford just might be a badass old guy like Eastwood in Unforgiven. And that would rock.

[EVILFACE]

The difference though is Eastwood was a badass before Unforgiven. Ford's characters are good, but they are no Man with No Name, Josey Wales, Gunny Highway, William Munny and blow your head clean off Dirty Harry!

If Eastwood was pres in Airforce One, the movie would be over in 10 min.

[hairlesswookiee]

dont know about you guys but i plan on getting a new one of these for the release of the movie:

i will also have the fedora, whip, and gear ready to go!!!

I got one of Peter Botwrites (sp?) Indy jackets about 4 years ago.... Best money I ever spent. 100% Guarentee you will love it forever. It looks great, the leather (the dark, authentic soft lamb) feels amazing but it comes out of the box a little shiney and needs to be distressed a little to look the part. You won't regret it! (His shirts are great too!)

The best part is that it is totally screen accurate, made by hand by the actual guy who did the movie jackets!

Here's me Halloween costume last year:

Sorry....Misread....deleted post.

[DarkArtist81]

Got to agree with you on the Wested jacket.... I just got mine as well.... love that damn thing. Money well spent. :duff

[JediMike71]

Awesome jacket! :monkey5 I want to get one too! I wore my old leather jacket one Halloween and had the felt fedora I got from the Star Wars Fan Club. I even had a bullwhip too. But my jacket didn't look anything like this totally "screen accurate" one! The fact that it was made by the guy that made the ones for the movies is incredible too. :D

[Mr. Fusion]

I too am trying to round up an Indy outfit. I already have the hat, gun belt, holster and whip holder on the way, but I just can't find the Alden boots at a decent price. I'm sort of on a budget. Here are some at the Magnoli Clothiers: https://host385.ipowerweb.com/~indyprop/osCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28_32&products_id=54&osCsid=3df347704d963b34cec2417df1b30045

I even have the perfect Last Crusade Webely Mark VI in mind: http://www.westernstageprops.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=WSP&Product_Code=IJG1

I'm going to get the bag from Magnoli. The jacket there is too much, so are the shirt and pants. I need to look into this Indyjacket site some more.

If you guys know of anyplace I can get some imitation boots or something, please let me know.

[DarkArtist81]

I'll let you know if I find anything.... I'm currently on a search for a cheaper alternative as well for the Alden's. Those boots are pretty particular, hard to find any that have that similiar a style. But I am looking.

Nice find on that pistol as well, I have a guy that I am talking to about a resin replica of the Hand Ejector pistol from Raiders. Going with that one for my costume.

[Trevolver]

Wor Gor- awesome Indy custom, bro! Love it!

HigHurtenFlurst- awesome Indy gear! hey, how does one go about distressing leather? I've had my Wested for about a year now and just started thinking it looks too damn nice. :) I've wanted to do that for a while now.

a wested jacket is a GREAT buy...although in California it's usually so hot I bake in it...:( I need to move to the east.

Trev

[Murderofcrows71]

Yeah me too, Got a lamb and a goat skin Wested, a Keppler and a reblocked Akubra fedora, Mark VII bag with leather strap, holster, 12 plait 10 ft bullwhip and a pair of the pants and trousers from Wested as well as some actual WWII era officer pinks. I have a pair of aldens but I also found some cheapies that look identicle, I'll try and remember what store I ordered them from and get back with the info.

Everything, and I do mean everything that anybody could ever want/need to know about Indy and his gear...... Including distressing (massive debates about the moral implications of doing it to expensive gear), where to find your Aldens or the closest cheap alternatives, the who/what/when/where/why of the Fedora.... it's a really neat community there.

http://www.indygear.com/cow/index.php?sid=0ca4987deaf715d690f33f878bac554f

And, Trevolver, the distressing can be very easily overdone, but basically I used acetone (paint remover) and soaked some sturdy shop paper-towel to to rub the "shine" off the leather, especially in the higher-wear areas. Then I took some very fine grit sandpaper (200-400) to chafe up the seams and high-light the high-wear areas at the very edges of the sleeves, the elbows, collar, etc. (doesn't show up well in the photos but looks great in person) being very carefull not to damage any of the stitching.... Then some general scrapes and dings by rubbing it lightly on the gravel on my garage floor.... The whole distressing thing has to be done artistically, carefully, and above all slowly because if it's overdone it can look terrible. There's lots of examples of destroyed Westeds on the Indy forum where guys rushed it, or just scraped it up with a knife or something.... You're going to want to wear it in public, so it's gotta look good!

[Wor-Gar]

Wor Gor- awesome Indy custom, bro! Love it!


Thanks Trev! :)

I can't wait to get yours though. That's the one I've been waiting for!

Have to agree with you on that, been a member there for a long time, it's a great resource for the Indy fanatic and to chat with other Indy fans. Found alot of stuff on there that I wouldn't have anywhere else as well.

[Trevolver]

Thank you HigHurtenFlurst! I appreciate it!

I'd like to kill the sheen of my jacket, and get the seams a bit distressed like you mentioned. I hadn't counted on acetone, but that's a cool tip. I'd be loath to do too much to it. I love the thing! :D thanks again!
Trev

[The Josh]

Trev I can't tell you after seeing the pic of your sculpt how excited I am about your Indy piece. It is already penciled in as something I must have, and I showed my own mother the sculpt she said I must get it. :duff

[AmanaMatt]

For all of those making fun of how old Ford looks - I am sure he looks a helluva lot better than most of us when we hit 65.....

Same here... just joined the Raven message board over there too... Great site and an awesome community. :rock

And thanks as well, HigHurtenflurst for the distressing info! I was just wondering how in the Hell to distress the leather. I don't want to overdo it, seeing as though I spent a lot of cash on that jacket and it is so very nice. :D

[Trevolver]

Glad you dig it Josh! And that's nice of your mom to say too! I've definitely taken on the challenge with a great deal of care. :D I look forward to improving it further and getting you guys the best Indy likeness I can.

Trev

[DarkArtist81]

Yeah, Trev.... that sculpt is damn nice.. I can't wait to stand the SSC figure right next to mine on the shelf and I also can't wait to repaint it either!

the jackets are top notch all the way. i have another jacket that wested has produced and i cant describe how awesome they are with custom tailoring. and as far as screen accurate goes: he's the guy who made the ones for ALL the movies including the new one.

[Mr. Fusion]

Thanks, Hairlesswookiee. I can't wait to get that Wested jacket. I hope I can afford it soon... as if I haven't gone over my budget as it is. :rotfl

By the way, that's an interesting screename. I like interesting. :lol

[Mr. Fusion]

Oh, back to the IndyGear forum, what does it mean by "FREE EMAIL ACCOUNTS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE"? I have Netscape (AOL) mail. It's free, I think... is that unacceptable? I'm a little confused.

[Spartan Rex]

Slashfilm reports that Lucasfilm has filed for six different titles for the fourth "Indiana Jones" feature with the Motion Pictures Association of America. The six that are apparently being officially considered as titles for the fourth film are:

"Indiana Jones and the City of Gods"
"Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds"
"Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth"
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
"Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold"
"Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant"

The first, "Indiana Jones and the City of Gods," has long been the rumoured working title for the production (and arguably the best of the batch, though like 'Destroyer' and 'Quest' as well myself). Should no other objections be raised, the studio will be clear to use any of these titles in two weeks.

[galactiboy]

So are all these titles filed to throw people off, or are these all components of the story?

One thing thats funny about Lucas sequel titles is they always seem really cheesey and terrible when you first hear them, but they really grow on you and become great after awhile. I remember groaning when I first heard "The Phantom Menace" but damned if it didn't turn out to be a great title :lol

[IrishJedi]

I still don't care for "The Phantom Menace", though it is a better title than "Attack of The Clones". :monkey4

At least he got "Revenge of The Sith" right. Nailed that one.

[tomandshell]

I think that if they announced "Temple of Doom" as the title today, then we would all be moaning and groaning about it.

Even if I don't initially like some of those proposed titles, they do have the feel of old serial adventures and they all seem like something that Lucas would choose for the series.

[Wor-Gar]

"Destroyer of Worlds" addresses the A-bomb story line.

Strange that the "covenant" is back in title...

Does anyone think that, in the movie, the government secretly studied the ark that they hid in 1936 and as a result we have the A-bomb? Is that a possible story line here?

[IrishJedi]

Not really. The MacGuffin has more to do with the "City of Gods" and "Cyrstal Skull" mentions than the A-Bomb itself.

Ever read "Chariots of The Gods"? Well, if so then you can pretty much piece it together. ;)

I saw the movie Chariots of the Gods, but that was a long time ago.

What do you think it's about based on Crystal Skull and City of Gods?

[IrishJedi]

You know, Central American pyramids and artifacts that deal with ancient astronauts that may or may not be "gods" and responsible for technology and events throughout human history.

Let's put it this way... it's not exactly "The Saucermen From Mars" but Harrison Ford's age and the Cold War element aren't the only reasons why Lucas set this film in the late '50s.

I can't say anymore than that without giving away THE MacGuffin and huge parts of the plot, but you should get the idea now.

Sounds a bit X-File-y. I'm curious how they'll resolve this one... no ancient Knight or haunting spirits... could Indy "make contact"?

I do remember that crystal skull now.

Hey, IrishJedi....how can I get one of those cool John Rambo posters from you? I had asked you earlier, but you didn't reply to me. Please send me a PM about it. I appreciate it. I'm a big fan of Indy, Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, Rocky...and Rambo. I have tried finding the John Rambo poster like that on eBay...but no one has it yet. Get back to me ASAP! I appreciate it! :D

Hey! I didn't see your other post about it (sorry, must have missed it) but I'll answer here...

The answer is that it's not a real JOHN RAMBO poster and it doesn't exist. I needed something to represent the flick in my signature so I just did up a teaser "poster" myself in Photoshop. I had no idea it worked that well. :p Sorry for the confusion, though!

[JediMike71]

OH...okay. Sorry! :o I thought it was one of those SDCC 07 advance mini posters I missed seeing somewhere! Where did you get that closeup picture of Rambo? I like it. It really does make a striking poster for an advance teaser for the movie! Let me know where you got that picture. I appreciate it. Hopefully Hot Toys will make a John Rambo aka Rambo IV figure! I would like to have the older Rambo. I have the other HT Rambos they've made so far, and Col. Sam Trautman. Thanks again Irish! :D

Hehe... no problem. I actually swiped it from the official Sly Stallone web page: http://www.sylvesterstallone.com/

There's also a pic of it in the Rambo thread on here as well.

Cheers! :duff

[JediMike71]

:D Thanks Irish! I'll check out Stallone's site. I also love your Indy, and and Iron Man pictures too. I'm looking forward to them too. But of those three in your pictures....Indy 4 most of all!

[JediMike71]

I agree! I saw the video of her first appearance on the set of the movie at Comic Con on the G4 TV channel. She hasn't aged a bit! Indy 4 is the single biggest movie I'm really looking forward to next summer! I will see Iron Man, and Rambo 4 (John Rambo) too. But Indy tops them all in my book! :D

I hate to tell you that this guy is NO LONGER part of the Young Indiana Jones Series, he has been removed from all the new DVD's.

[dekadentdave]

Yeah, and Sabastian Shaw was removed from Return of the Jedi. This IS Lucas so what's your point?

[IrishJedi]

Actually, George Hall was removed from YOUNG INDY at Spielberg's request.

Spielberg was too busy making JURASSIC PARK, SCHINDLER'S LIST and AMISTAD back-to-back-to-back when most of the YOUNG INDY stuff was going on, so he wasn't much involved at all though Lucas is now letting him make some creative decisions in retro.

Interesting side note of trivia: Spielberg was originally supposed to direct the episode in which Harrison Ford cameos, but could not due to schedule conflicts. So Lucas actually directed the Harrison Ford scenes near Ford's home in Jackson, Wyoming. Spielberg then let Lucas edit the FX sequences of JURASSIC PARK while Spielberg was in Europe filming SCHINDLER'S. All of this is what ultimately led Lucas to decide to direct again.

[Darthrazz]

Yeah, and Sabastian Shaw was removed from Return of the Jedi. This IS Lucas so what's your point?

No Point really, just upset to see the old Indy go. I watched the series as a kid and enjoyed the Old Indy "bookends".

[JoeSweden]

Me too. Not at the time, but he didn't need to be removed. Good I taped them all back then. Have to copy them to DVD soon. Wasn't there one episode that focused more on the old Indy? or do I remember it wrong?:confused:

[galactiboy]

I know its an old argument... but for me I have no issue with directors updating their work and making changes as long as I still have the option to buy the original. When they change things (usually for the worse IMO) and do not offer the fans the choice in what the watch it seems very inconsiderate.

[Gruff Old Bear]

An awful decision to cut him out, and I'm glad Mr. Hall will not know of it. He died several years ago, after his series "Remember WENN" concluded. He was the reason I would have bought these. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Mr. Fusion]

Hey guys. I've been wanting to post this figure for a while. Since it's finally almost finished, I thought I'd go ahead and show you.

The last one I did on Photoshop. I wish I could post a bigger picture. I'll probably put it on my site soon. Hope you guys like.

[JediMike71]

Great work on that custom TLC Indy Mr. Fusion! I like it! Hey, what did you get John Rhys-Davies to sign for you there behind him? The DVD case for The Last Crusade, or the novel. I see it there behind your figure standing up. I'd love to have his autograph someday, along with Harrison Ford's, Sean Connery's, Spielberg's, Lucas's, etc.!!! :D

[Mr. Fusion]

Actually it's my old copy of LC on VHS. I've been watching that tape since I was 2! I love the DVD, but it'll never equal the experience of watching that video tape. I wish I could find the Diet Coke ad at the beginning, somewhere.:lol

From the Q&A:

Initially, our design team is focusing on classic Indy, but our licensing agreement does cover all four films.

Yeah. They said at SDCC that the first Indy 12" and PF would be from RAIDERS.

[Jango56031]

I like the Indy films and have seen them all several times but have never picked apart the differences in Indy between the three current movies. My personal favorite of the three is the last crusade. Can anyone more into Indy shed some light on if there are differences between Indy in the three films (costume, accessories, hat etc.)?

[galactiboy]

Yeah. They said at SDCC that the first Indy 12" and PF would be from RAIDERS.

Now thats the kind of news I needed to hear! That makes me very happy as if an Indy was released from Temple or Crusade I'd be torn wondering if I should buy now in case they don't make it to Raiders, or wait.

This takes out all the guess work :lol

[Mr. Fusion]

I cannot wait for a Raiders Indy. Well, actually, I probably won't get it. My brother would in a heartbeat... less than a heartbeat! I myself like Last Crusade the best. But that's only due to the fact that it was the first Indy I ever saw, when I was 2, and the only Indy video we had until I was... 14? I know that's sad, but I cried at the end of LC when they ride off into the sunset. Ah, memories. But, enough reminiscing.

I can only hope that Sideshow will top the Toys McCoy Indiana from Raiders, they have to, they're Sideshow, for Pete's shake! What do you think, can Sideshow beat the accessories of the TC?

[galactiboy]

I have a feeling that Sideshow will be pulling out all the stops on this first release. This is a pretty major figure that fans have wanted for years and years so there is a lot to live up to. So I imagine he'll be loaded with as many accessories as possible and an extra goodie for the exclusive.

I have a feeling it will kick major ass :rock :rock :rock

[creecher]

The fact that a decent company is making this, finally, kicks major ass. :rock :rock :rock. I hope I am able to score an exclusive. I predict a major meltdown, no matter what tactic they, Sideshow, use to prepare for this pre-order.

I like the Indy films and have seen them all several times but have never picked apart the differences in Indy between the three current movies. My personal favorite of the three is the last crusade. Can anyone more into Indy shed some light on if there are differences between Indy in the three films (costume, accessories, hat etc.)?


For all the small details and such check out Indygear.com

Mostly the fedora's were different bashes (shapes) in all the movies with the Raiders being the tallest crown and widest brim with little to no taper on the front of the crown.

The Wested jackets were slightly different in each movie, Raiders had a shorter jacket just below the waist. Temple had a longer jacket with a wider collar. Crusade had a mix of both, shorter but still cut below the waist, but with a smaller collar than Temple but wider than Raiders.

The web belts changed colors from film to film as did the shirt and pants slightly. You'll notice going back the pants were a much looser fit in Raiders than the other films.

The handgun changes, gloved hands in most of Raiders.
That's just a couple off the top of my head

[Darthrazz]

You guys think we'll see a real leather jacket for Indy?

[doesitmatter]

Assuming we get the idol with the standard, I'd like to see the sandbag as the exclusive. It's part of the iconic moment but wouldn't bother too many fans if they missed it.

Thank you that helps. Has SS done any leather jackets on there military lines just to compare to and see what they are capable of?

[IrishJedi]

I'm not sure how important actual leather would be on something 1/6th scale in particular.

[galactiboy]

As long as the jacket looks good I don't care if its leather or sythetic. I imagine they'll get something that is a good approximation.

What are most of the customs made with? A lot of the jackets I've seen so far look pretty damn good.

I hope so. No produced Indy figure yet in all these years has them included, yet he wore them virtually throughout Raiders.

I know Sideshow and others are into the "action" poses, but I really wouldn't mind something like this:

That is a good choice for a pose... I think it works better than the one CM chose (even though it might be the more iconic).

[Hjalmar]

From a Hasbro Star Wars Q&A-- Is this common knowledge?

http://www.bobasbounty.net/

Q. I believe you previewed a 12" Indiana Jones figure at SDCC. Are both Hasbro and Sideshow Collectibles going to make 12" Indy figures or will there be an arrangement similar to the 12" Star Wars figures which Sideshow produces?

A. While Sideshow produces 12" figures under sublicense from us, they have a separate arrangement with Lucasfilm on Indy

[Darklord Dave]

I believe that is news. We knew that both companies were doing 1/6 Indys but apparently it's a seperate license. Not unprecedented, as SSC did 1/6 Van Helsing while Mattel did more toy like versions.

[galactiboy]

Interesting that the license could distinguish between version of 1/6 figures, maybe mass market Vs collectible?

Giving one away here (http://www.wetacollectors.com/)

[IrishJedi]

Interesting that the license could distinguish between version of 1/6 figures, maybe mass market Vs collectible?
Yes. Hasbro's license covers mass-market 12" INDY figures under $25 MSRP. Sideshow's license covers direct-market, limited edition 12" INDY figures for $59 and up. I got this directly from both Hasbro and LFL when I was in San Diego (because I just HAD to ask when I saw that Hasbro unveiled an Indy 12" of their own).

Actually, this is not so much different than the SW license really. It's just that Hasbro chose to discontinue the mass-market 12" SW figures so the explicit criteria destinguising the separate licenses were not necessary.

[galactiboy]

Cool, good to know, thanks for the info Irish. I was really worried when Hasbro announced 12" figures fearing that our chances of great 1/6 figures were gone.

[IrishJedi]

[SSC_Nerd]

Personally, I like it. Hell, what kind of a name is Temple of Doom? It's goofy and cheesy. I just find it kind of depressing that the second Librarian movie touched on the crystal skulls first. Whatever.

I'm not liking the subtitle. It was one of the worst on the list.

Hi guys. I found this small interview with George Lucas recently on www.tvguide.com. Here's the link:

http://www.tvguide.com/news/george-lucas-maverick/070918-01

He mostly talks to TV Guide about being a "maverick" filmmaker like his close friend director Francis Ford Coppola, and Pixar's John Lassiter filming from locations outside of Hollywood like San Francisco, and other areas like that. He does give a little insider info on Indy 4 towards the end of the small interview. Enjoy! :D

[screamingmetal]

Thanks for posting the link JediMike. Not much reveled there, but I like some of the details on Connery not wanting to reprise his role and how they compensated for it.
There was some Major spoilers posted on AICN the other day that were taken down. If anyone is interested, I saved what was said.
Basically, they explained some of the plot.
I was indifferent to what was said of the plot, it seemed to fit in a Indy movie, but I really didn't like the confirmation of a certain character rumor. :mad: Though, you'd have to be blind not to see that it was going to be true.

[JediMike71]

Well, screamingmetal, I don't wanna spoil the plot of the movie for myself now. I'm looking forward to this movie SO much I want to go into the theater next summer without any information about the plot...other than the title that we all know now. I spoiled the plot for other movies before I saw them, and ended up not enjoying them as much since I already knew what was going to happen before seeing the movie. Thanks anyway. :D

Wow, that sculpt looks fantastic painted up! Man I hope Sideshow nails this figure... he could go down as being one of the greats if they do it right :rock

[JediMike71]

I agree that is a big "IF"....if they do it right. Hopefully they will. I am hoping that Sideshow does a much better job on Indy's likeness than they did for the Bespin Han Solo. That is my favorite Han Solo outfit, but the head wasn't that great.

[Prime Clone]

Bespin Han was passable, but if Trev gets a shot at an ANH/Hoth/Endor Han, I can see a lot of us replacing the head on our Bespin versions!

Or we could just use his Indy head...

As for the quality, the sculpt is amazing and even if a factory paintjob screws it up I'm sure tons of these will be sent out for repaints. Not only that but I have great Relic Hunter parts, like a diecast gun, machete, shoes with laces, nicely done jacket that will readily replace anything SSC gives that isn't up to snuff.....I have no doubts that the Indy I buy will be the centerpiece of my 1/6 collection.

Over the summer I rediscovered one of my favorite films on DVD. A few months ago, I finally bought the four-disc Indiana Jones box set, since I hadn't watched the films for some time. I immeadiately realized that for me, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK is the greatest move ever made. It literally has every thing I want in a film: nonstop action, great pacing, romance, a genuinely horrific climax and a 1930's period setting (I love the styles of the thirties.) Honestly, it is far better than all of the STAR WARS episodes combined, and is better than most of the Bond films.

Anyway, after re-falling in love with RAIDERS, I went to work one what I consider my artistic masterpiece. Here is my dedication to my favorite film, done in watercolors with some ink. It was heavily influenced by the work of Drew Struzan, Richard Amsel and the movie posters of the 1930's and 40's.

I hope you guys like it. It's not much, but I put alot of work into it:

Glad you now see the light Dr.! Hehe. For me, I've realized for AGES that Raiders has got to be my fave film of all time...for all the points you mentioned, and more. I mean I love SW and LOTR and all that, but who wouldn't want to be Indiana Jones?! It's just classic in every sense of the word.

Oh, and your art ROCKS! Keep it up! :rock

[Darth Caedus]

yea, that kid's a complete and utter idiot. apparently, he doesn't understand what a non-discloure agreement is. he can and should be sued for breach of contract, but I doubt spielberg would do that. probably just cut him from the movie and blackball him forever. kinda wish i didn't already know about the spoilers, but oh well, still can't wait to see the movie.

[Entropy Chicken]

The spoilers he revealed were hardly huge revelations, they were already known or guessed at by most Indy fans for a long time now. Still, I can understand Spielberg being pissed. I've whited them out but they are minor plot spoilers IMO.

it's in the 1950's vs commie Cate Blanchett, they are after a crystal skull in South America, *shocker* Indy gets captured in this film like he has been in the first 3, and the big "secret" that Spielberg thinks was still a secret: Shai plays Indy & Marion's son whom Indy passes the hat to - people have been guessing about this since it was believed that Natalie Portman was going to play Indy's daughter. The one the extra didn't mention which I think is cool is that John Hurt will play the long thought dead Abner Ravenwood

[Grange Wallis]

There will definetely be some Indy material by the movie's release that, of that I have no doubt. Can't wait for it though...

I certainly haven't read anything else about the spoilers that this kid spilled, but if what I just read in the link above is all there is, I'm not sure that there's much there that couldn't have been released in any somewhat generic synopsis of what the movie is going to be about. I agree the kid was stupid for saying anything at all, and hopefully he's got a day job that he can stick with, but honestly I hardly think those minor tidbits are worth getting worked up over for more than the blink of an eye. So somebody should have smacked the kid on the forehead and said "Ya ain't supposed ta say nuthin'!" (since he DID sign the nondisclosure agreement!) and that would have been enough. :rolleyes:

Was there more to the plot leakage than what's noted in this short article?

Besides, any publicity is good publicity, and who's it really going to spoil it for? I mean, I'm still going to see the movie, and I'd bet a week's pay that anyone else who planned on going will still go... I guess I just don't see why there's all the drama. :confused: :monkey1

Has anyone noticed the mass unloading of custom Indiana Jones figures on ebay lately?

:lol

They know the heat SS will be bringing. :rock

[DarkArtist81]

Hey, guys. I just got my new Indy whip in the mail the other day! It pretty much completes my Indy gear. I even took a couple of pictures (attached below).

Very nice bro! I had to use a not so Indy whip during Halloween, with a long wooden handle and everything. :monkey2

Yeah, noticed that too. I am gonna hang on to mine though, It was a milestone for me and he will look nice next to the SSC version I am sure. :rock

It is funny to watch the panic unfold though.... poor bastards. :lol

I also noticed that there are no Toys McCoy sales for Jones. That's a first; there's always one up. Good sign for those who have it though -- it's the one 12" version I think will hold it's value... just for nostalgia sake, and for the clothing and accessory details that have long since become standard.

That sucks. Do you have a more accurate one, yet? If you don't and are still looking for one, I suggest Winrich's "Indy-on-a-budget" whip. It isn't kangaroo hide, and it isn't as tightly woven (plaits, or whatever), but it looks really accurate. I'm really happy with mine.

Good luck finding a better whip. I know you can, the Force is strong with you, indeed.

Yes, decided to keep mine also.
The Sideshow version will be the better one, but this one remains special to me.

Got my 2 Indiana Jones t-shirts today. 1 white one (see picture) and a black one.

I totally agree. The Toys McCoy version was the first serious attempt by a major toy company to do Indy properly. It really only suffered from the old style body design they had to use back then. The (Billiken) Hayao Hama head sculpt was pretty much state-of-the-art at the time, and they went all out on the accessories, too.

Being such a huge Indy fan, (still the best thing Lucas has ever done, imo) I went a little nuts and picked up two of them, along with an Arabian horse for each, when they were first released in Japan many years ago. No big surprise, they sold out fast, even back then. I had no idea they'd appreciate so much over time, but that hardly matters. Neither one of mine will ever go up for sale... not while I still draw breath, anyways.

I'm really looking forward to owning SSC's version of Indy, and I'm sure they'll do a kickass job on him, but I'll always count the Toys McCoys Indys among my most favorite possessions, funky Hasbro bodies an' all.:D

[JediMike71]

Hey dunedain, where'd you get your Indy t-shirts? I want them too! Please let me know. Thanks! :D

Star Wars Shop (http://shop.starwars.com/search/?keywords1=indiana+jones&method=and&x=0&y=0) has them

[JediMike71]

Cool. Thanks. I'll take a look for them over there.

[The Josh]

No problem.

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Have any of you guys seen this at cooltoyreview.com?

http://www.theraider.net/news/fullstory_merchandise.php?id=368

For a McFarlane/NECA collector like me, this is almost a dream come true. Sure it's not gonna be as sweet as SSC's stuff, but it has me alot more excited than Hasbro's toys, and will hold me over as the definitive Indy figure, until SSC's 12" Indy from ROTLA comes out.

Judging from the pic, the likeness isn't perfect; but it looks better than the Hasbro figs, or Disney's previous offerings, and it looks like it will fit in with my Cult Classics stuff just fine.

[Dr.Mirakle32]

So NO ONE else is excited about a fully-articulated 7" Indiana Jones figure?

[Wor-Gar]

I'm excited about the 12" fully articulated figure. Gave up on anything smaller... for now.

[The Josh]

Yeah, give me the SS 1:6th.

[galactiboy]

Yep, I'm all about the 1/6. Also the Disney made figures are real hit and miss. The Narnia were quite nice... but the POTC, not so much.

[IrishJedi]

The previous Disney INDY figures were pretty ho-hum as well.

Like Josh, I'm excited about what Sideshow has in store for this license, but not much else (including Hasbro and Gentle Giant).

[The Josh]

Yeah, the GG pieces didn't impress me much at all. Hasbro's stuff was ok for what it is a mass produced item. SS stuff though is going to kick ass and for me anytime my Mom says you have to get stuff from a line I'm in. :rock

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Well, NO **** Sideshow's stuff is gonna be where it's at, but that doesn't mean all of the other Indy stuff is gonna be crap either. Lighten up! '08 is gonna be the year of Indy (and Batman and Iron Man and James Bond and The Incredible Hulk and Rambo,) so there will be plenty of cool IJ merchnadise for everybody! :chew:chew:chew

[DarkArtist81]

I just don't collect smaller scale stuff anymore. I don't have any room for anything smaller than 1:6th scale, it just clutters things up IMO. I'm sure the new Indy stuff will be cool, but I can understand how people are not really getting amped up about it.

Around here it's all about the 12 inch figs and the statues. :rock

[ca35]

Well................let's see a sculpt or something already !

[Wor-Gar]

He's lookin' a lot better in these proper pictures, especially the publicity still.

I still have to get used to his age. I know it's natural and all, but he's so ingrained in my head from 1981 it's hard to accept the older Indy.

[Mudshark]

I know exactly what you mean. That's the way it goes. It's still better than no Indy at all, though, right?

[dunedain]

I want to see the movie in the theater. :monkey2:monkey2:monkey2

[JediMike71]

Hey, I love those new pictures from AICN! Thanks for posting the link. Harrison Ford looks AWESOME again as one of my favorite heroes! I can't wait to see the movie next summer...at least 2 or 3 times! :D

I'm really looking forward to movies in 2008 too. It should be a great year.

[Darren Carnall]

we'll come out of this film... and the young Indy will seem too young :rock

I just saw (yesterday afternoon in fact) BladeRunner: The Final Cut in a local theatre, digital projection.... fantastic screen and sound..... and considering last time I saw it was on a 27" CRT telly on VHS (!) ...... MAN this film kicks arse

and I knew I loved it.... I thought I remembered it... but omg there are so many nuances that you just dont GET on a smaller screen with lesser quality.

EXCELLENT film.... way better than i remembered. And I remembered it as one of my faves :rock :rock :rock

[thedarkknight]

I do believe that Harrison Ford is not to old for giving Indiana Jones another go. Though, I made this wallpaper and thought it was funny.

More Indy news:

First images of the Hasbro classic figures, from Lee's Toy Review; and start your day off right with a bowl of Indy cereal. Yum!

Those Hasblo figures look pretty underwhelming, by the way. Seriously, those don't look much better than the generic figures that Disney has been selling in their parks for the past few years. Quite "meh". Unless they come out with a new kickass Well of The Souls playset (which I doubt) I will likely avoid the Hasblo stuff altogether. Thank goodness for Sideshow.

The AOTC cereal in the U.S. wasn't chocolate. It was basically Lucky Charms (which, of course, I like :cool: )

But, you're right... most these days are either chocolate, have marshmellows, or both. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. :o

[Darthrazz]

Not to derail, but as a kid I loved Frankenberry cereal, for some odd reason I can never find it anywhere! Occasionally it pops up on shelves and then it disappears for a few years? Is this cereal easily available in areas where the rest of you live?

They still make Frankenberry (and Boo Berry!) but they're not as widely circulated as Count Chocula. However, have you tried looking for it in the grocery section of a Super Wal-Mart? I see all 3 of them there all the time.

Never occurred to me! Thanks for the advice ! I completely forgot about Booberry!!!

Ok to get this thread back on track, Indy is not looking as old as I had anticipated in those pics.

[IrishJedi]

In that one pic (where he's outside) he actually doesn't look that much older than he did in LAST CRUSADE.

I think many people will be eating crow when this flick comes out.

[Cocoboloboy]

I agree. He doesn't look out of place playing Indy at this age at all. Harrison Ford is The man.:rock

[The Mike]

The bad thing is when they are taken away and then I need a new cereal

I find all three in their new flashy boxes regularly at Target. Try there....The one cereal that I really miss is Rice Krispies Treats cereal, man that was just sugar and milk. I'd give my kingdom to find it again.....


Back to Indy, I'm surprised we are heading into December and have heard nothing yet....:confused:

[IrishJedi]

Word is that the first trailer will be out by Christmas. :rock

Cereal is awesome... I still wish you got cool toys :monkey2

Yeah, and Indy really does look good in the new shots... I still don't care for Shia LeDouche, but if the rest of the movie is good maybe he'll be stomachable as well :lol
