That's awesome!! Gonna have to save that as my background here at work.

[SSC_Nerd]

As of now, it may just be an early promo sheet. Which means there may be even more juicy Drew Struzan work to come yet....:D:monkey5:monkey5:D I mean, the posters for the last two movies by Struzan had multiple characters in it. It wouldn't be quite in line with them if it was the final one.

Yeah, gonna order this whenever they put it up. Gonna keep a sharp eye on allposters...

Yeah, this is just the initial teaser one-sheet. There will be at least 2 more posters from Struzan.

And we'll be able to order this from StarWarsShop very soon.

Thanks for the heads up about Starwarsshop. Any idea of the pricing though? You know Lucas... expects us to pay out the ass.

Sweet-looking poster! I have all of the other Indy movie posters, with the exception of the regular one-sheet for Temple of Doom. Can't wait to add this to the collection. And the other two that come out, as well. :monkey5

WOW! :monkey5 I'm a HUGE Drew Struzan fan and collector! I've collected almost all of his posters that he's painted over the past 25 plus years. I have all of the other Indy posters he's done for the first three movies, and the San Diego Comic Con special poster and booklet from this year. I also have his books about his art, including "The Movie Posters Of Drew Struzan", and the HUGE "Oeuvre" hardcover book, amoung many other collector plates, novels and other items he's painted artwork for. I'm going to order this poster as soon as I can! Awesome work from Drew once again! I can't wait to see the other two posters he's painting! I'm hoping the final "regular" style will show the entire major cast in some way just as he did for the final one-sheet for "The Last Crusade". You score tops in my book once again Drew! You never cease to amaze me each and every time! :D

Guys also check out Rick's Movie Graphics at www.ricksmovie.com to order this poster. But, I'd be suprised if they're price is as good as the Star Wars Shop has it now for $19.99!

I'm so freaking excited for this movie now. I just watched Raiders last night for the first time in about 2 years. What a brilliant, perfect movie! Scene after scene of classic, iconic sequences of all-time great cinema. Indy switching the sandbag for the idol, his slow head turn as the boulder begins rolling, his banter with Marion, the widely diverse cast of characters, the stunts, the music, "I don't know I'm making this up as I go...." AWESOME.

After seeing the teaser poster for Crystal Skull and watching Raiders I am 100% on board for a new movie. If you ignore everything you know about Harrison Ford post-80's (Six Days Seven Nights, Hollywood Homicide, Calista Flockhart, the earring...) and just take him as he is in ROTLA I don't know how you can think he would *not* make a badass old guy.

Its not like Indy was ever about cartwheels and karate kicks. He throws round house punches, crashes vehicles into people and even as a young guy he cheats when he fights! Biting, blowing guys away instead of "dueling" them, hiding in crowds of children, you name it. An old guy can do all of those things, heck you'd *expect* him too.

Indy rocks, Ford rocks, Spielberg and Lucas, yeah they rock. And so does that new poster.

Bring on May 22nd! :rock :zzwhip :rock

I have no doubt this will be an Indy adventure well worth waiting all these years for, or neither Ford nor Spielberg would ever have committed themselves to it. It must be one hell of a great script! Waiting till May is like slow torture, but it hurts so good!

[galactiboy]

The Connery figure's pretty cool looking, not really feeling the Indy. And seems thats a headsculpt we've seen before.

[The Josh]

I may get the GG Bust but that will be the only GG piece I get.

[choopie]

I'm probably in for the bust when the final product appears, especially if it's Raiders Indy like GG is indicating. The statue I'll hold out on. I want to see Indy with the motorcycle piece. I was more impressed with that one, than Indy riding the horse.

[choopie]

Still studying the GG Indy on horse statue. Not all that bad, but not quite there compared to the pic it's based on. With the size of the piece compared to its price tag, GG could have done better. I hope we see more pics at Toy Fair.

[IrishJedi]

That GG statue looks like a toy with that paint. Awful. :monkey4

[galactiboy]

I think part of it is that its just a really unflattering picture... kinda like the first PPO shot of Han. Very washed out, and no shadows to help give a 3D feel.

[Darklord Dave]

Those Toys2 figures are ill-timed. The Connery head looks like Frontline's The Rock Connery although not as sharp. I think I remember hearing that SSC's Indy license includes Connery - I think I'll wait for it.

[galactiboy]

Good to know about Connery (probably) being part of the Sideshow's license... not having him in a series has hurt other lines in the past :monkey3

[Agent23]

I'm not crazy about the GG Indiana on horseback statue (looks like a glorified toy with that paint job).

I am just going to wait for the SS p.f. for my lone Indiana Jones collectible.

:cool:

[Collector Freak]

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/9974/indyhorserm9.jpg


With less exposure it actually looks a lot better. Face still sucks, though.

[IrishJedi]

I agree. I'd expect a much better paint app than that for a "high-end" statue, especially the first from a huge license such as this. Maybe the same team that worked on Clone Obi-Wan did this. :monkey1

[Wor-Gar]

That looks like something from "Indiana Jones and the Animated Series".

[Sachiel]

Even if the proto's paintjob was better I bet the production would come out looking like that.

[choopie]

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/9974/indyhorserm9.jpg

Yeah, it does look better, but as with the majority of GG's statues, there is no texture in the painting, especially with the horse. Looks like Indy is riding on a carousel.

I expect GG to milk this license for all it's worth, so I can be picky about which pieces I pick up. I'm surprised they launched the line with two Crusade pieces anyways. I'm more interested in Raiders.

[Wor-Gar]

Looks like Indy is riding on a carousel.

Thats a good call, he really does look like he's on a ride :lol

Yeah, I'll still buy Sideshow's 1/6 scale Indy as soon as they put it up for Priority pre-order. :D

Hi Andy. That eBay auction link I posted lists that custom Indy head as a
"1/6 Andrew's Custom Headsculpt Indiana Jones". Did they copy your casting for the Indy head? I won't try to buy it if they did. Let me know. Thanks! :D

I really enjoy and respect your work, and I refuse to buy an unauthorized copy or "knock off" if it is one of your casting, or at least the casting idea you have for the upcoming 1/6 scale Sideshow Indy.

Wor-Gar I most likely will hold off and wait for Sideshow's Indy. I just wanted to get Andy's thoughts on that head too.

It's definitely not one of mine (I've never sculpted Indy before), I don't think I've ever seen that head. Thanks for the consideration though!

Yeah, you're right. Andy's work would be incredible! Andy...do you know who Sideshow is using to sculpt their 1/6 Indy?

[galactiboy]

Its not a terrible headsculpt, but definitely better to wait for Sideshows.

And Trevor (don't know his last name :monkey3) is the sculptor for the first head they've shown... and its fantastic :rock

The Andrew selling that sculpted this posts over at OSW from time to time.
He has a very recognizable style and clean sculpts.They have a characiture feel to me, but I still admire his talent.

GG uses a white background. "CoolToyReview" added the background, but it's a larger picture so I posted that.

Either way, it's not a very good statue. I think it's mostly the eyes.

[Trevolver]

I want to see the Raiders horse, personally...I'd LOVE a statue of the Indy boarding the truck. Of course, it would be hard to get away with not filling the back full of Nazis...

I don't think this offering from GG is that bad though.. Just doesn't scream INDY to me...

http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/6868/indyhorsewv7.jpg

Also, his mouth seems a bit out of whack... if you just saw the head you could still tell its supposed to be Indy, just not a great version.

[Mudshark]

I don't if it's just me or the angle of the photo, but that horse's front legs look awfully small and out of proportion in relation to the rest of its body. Horses happen to be my favorite animal and I'd really rather see him on the Arab from Raiders. That was a horse worthy of Indy!

[Andy Bergholtz]

GG uses a white background. "CoolToyReview" added the background, but it's a larger picture so I posted that.

Either way, it's not a very good statue. I think it's mostly the eyes.

Doh! My bad. :o


I agree though... Honestly Indy isn't too bad, but something about the horse just seems toy-ish. Maybe 'cause it's smooth as glass... And I'm no equine anatomy expert, but I think Mudshark is right about the legs. I generally don't like to criticize sculpts though, they really did a damn fine job! It could be a LOT worse.

[Slingblade]

I hope they do a diorama of Indy replacing the statue with the bag of sand from the opening of Raiders. Have Indy hunched down with both arms extended ready to flop it on there.

A poster in another thread was hinting at this -- a PF from a major line in '08 that won't be a huge surprise but is a surprise that they're starting the line this way.

Here are some High Res ones we got over at GGC, they say Product not Final. I personally think that pic is a bad angle, I seem to see the Harrison Smirk there.

It may be the angle, the hi-res one does look better. Anyway we all know better than to judge based o a single preview pic - DON'T WE?

[Collector Freak]

The hair is awful on the bust. It's not noticeable enough. Indy didn't have a buzz cut.

The horse statue looks better on the left, but the face close-up just makes it look worse. Gentle Giant is letting me down.

Hey everybody...be sure and check out the latest issue of Vanity Fair for a photo spread from the new film (including a kinky, uniformed Cate Blanchett that should have some freaks here adjusting their drawers :p)...the shots are by Anne Lebowitz and the article is the same kind that VF has done for the SW prequels...

OMG... Lucasfilm really can't think outside the box anymore, can they? Seriously, all of this is "paint by numbers" marketing for them so far.

I called my local B Dalton Bookseller bookstore, and they don't have the February Vanity Fair issue...yet. I will definitley buy one! I printed out the "online only" exclusive interviews with Spielberg and Lucas from Vanity Fair today too. Check those out too! :D Outstanding pictures. I hope to get an extra issue to frame the cover.

Yes. Get the 5-Disc version. You will NOT be disappointed. :rock

I totally agree that the 5-disc "Ultimate Collector's Edition" of the Blade Runner The Final Cut is the set to get! I got it with the briefcase with the Spinner car, and Gaff's origami unicorn and all of that stuff because I wanted it all! :monkey5 :D

Meh, pass. I have a feeling most of my Indy pieces will be coming from Sideshow. I pray they do a good job. I haven't been impressed with items coming from other companies, so far.

[amarcord]

The Sean Jones doesn't look to bad.
They are laughing because they already are thinking of all the money people are going to pay for them :-)

[thedarkknight]

It seems like Sideshow is the only one not showing off their Indy stuff. Every Thursday night I check the newsletter and still no Indy. We need Indy soon.

[choopie]

It seems like Sideshow is the only one not showing off their Indy stuff. Every Thursday night I check the newsletter and still no Indy. We need Indy soon.

I hope we see the first Indy announcement from Sideshow during Toy Fair. If not the PF, most definitely the 12". I would think either one of these would be ready by then.

Is Sideshow doing dios, also? I can't recall the product line-up in their press release, but it'd be nice to see Sideshow tackle dios of scenes from each film.

[IrishJedi]

There are multiple PFs and 1/6 figures in various stages of development.

And, yeah, I'll be stunned if there isn't an announcement or two by Toy Fair.

[doesitmatter]

BTW, I just got the four Indiana Jones LEGO sets and I can honestly say the Jungle Temple is the most fun LEGO set I have ever built.

[Bardoon]

Anyone think they'll do a Priority Pre-Order for the Indy figures like they do for $tar Wars?

I think they might do it for Indy HIMSELF but not for any of the other characters. But we'll certainly see...the big sales will definitely be Indy so I'll be curious to see the difference in all the other characters.

[galactiboy]

I think the first Indy would definitely be a well advertised PPO, maybe during SDCC... seems like a time when they could get a lot of interest. After that it may depend on what sort of reaction the figures get.

LOTR still has PPO events, even though it usually takes a long time to sell out.

I would hope we'd have Indy before SDCC, since Crystal Skull will be out months before Comicon.

You're definitely going to have to worry about at least one INDY PPO before SDCC.

[creature4000]

Whens SDCC... I pray we don't have to wait that long for the Indy PF!

I hope there are more things then just 12"ers and PFs.. like actual replicas!!!!

[thedarkknight]

I think it would be seriously dropping the ball to wait until SDCC for an Indy annoucement. Honestly, though, I thought it was dropping the ball not to have something shown before new years.

[mindbook]

Any hint if the SS Indy jacket will be made out of REAL leather???

[IrishJedi]

Whens SDCC... I pray we don't have to wait that long for the Indy PF!

SDCC is July 23-27.

[thedarkknight]

Any hint if the SS Indy jacket will be made out of REAL leather???

Probably not. Sideshow hasn't used real leather that I know of except on Aragorn's jerkin.

[Bardoon]

SDCC is July 23-27.

They should DEFINITELY have some Indy stuff out for pre-order before then! The movie comes out May 22nd.

At least I hope they do. :monkey1

[Deak Starkiller]

Does anyone else get the feeling LFL is holding up the Indy stuff? I mean announcement wise? Hell we haven't even seen a trailer yet. And between the god damned Indy PopTarts and cereal (ugh!) you know they are ready to whore the license out.

It should be soon. And I think once they do open the flood gates, we'll be up to our necks in Indy. :banana

[Wor-Gar]

I'm fairly confident that SS INDY will present itself around ToyFair time. I mean, we've all seen the sculpt, so revealing the full 1/6th figure is hardly a surprise. Plus, if the PPO is in Feb then we might even have our Indys in hand by the time the movie opens.

It would be in Sideshow's best interest to mine the anticipation of this film early...in the event that this goes the way of TPM.

I'd love to see a whole 'Raiders' line announced and PPOd before the new film opens.

Indy
Toht (of course)
Belloq
Dietrich
Marion
Sallah
German Mechanic -- although not sure how to so this one bare-chested
Monkey Man

I know that's way too many figures to announce before May, but still... that's the list that I would buy.

[Deak Starkiller]

This can't come fast enough.

[thedarkknight]

Yeah, I get the feeling Lucas is behind it. If that is the case, and the small figure from Raiders not having a street date until May, we may be waiting a long time.

[Batty]

Next to Darth Vader, Indy is definitely the most anticipated announcement for me. I can't wait.

I'd seriously rather it have no zipper than one of those huge ones.

[Cocoboloboy]

The jacket and the hat MUST look right for it to be a stellar Indy, no matter what material they use. Mess the Jacket or the hat up and you ruin the figure.

[Entropy Chicken]

The Relic Hunter jacket is a bit frumpy, the leather's thick, has a large collar and ugly zipper. I'll wait till I see what SS comes up with. The look is more important than just what material it's made out of. If the SS one sucks then then I'll think about replacements. Although I've already gotten the Newline boots. I know SS will not match their quality.

I agree 1000%......but if you want REAL leather,there are no other reasonable alternatives, other than Toys McCoy($$$$) but I think if you alter the jacket correctly, it can be worth it!.....I think IF you remove the inner lining(make it less bulky), shorten the collar,remove the zipper and age/weather the jacket(weathering on leather always looks better than synthetic material"IMHP")...You will have a GREAT looking jacket. After all, the jacket & fedora are the most important features on Indy, everything else you can kinda fudge a little and get away with it(In my OWN opinion)

[IrishJedi]

Real leather is more attainable and appropriate for 1/4 scale PF figures, imho.

[galactiboy]

I don't care which material they use either, as long as it looks to scale I'll be happy. Medicom has really done some great work recently with the X3 Wolverine and Ghost Rider... I hope Sideshow can get something of that quality across.

They did not do so good with the Kurgan or T2.

[creecher]

I have faith Sideshow will do an impressive job on Indy. The head sculpt is great, so I don't see why they would drop the ball on this one. Why just make repeat mistakes others have made? The secondary characters may not stand the scrutiny of collectors, but if they fail with Indy they may as well throw the license down the gurgler. Scale is the word galactiboy used and let it be so. No oversized zippers, whip, or head. Get the hat right and make the coat fit.

Here's what I've done with my Toys Indy... Weathered the jacket, removed the zipper (way out of scale) and did the water treatment thing to get the sleeves how I wanted them. Weathered the hat, shirt and pants, put on new, much narrower bag strap, new whip, and put the whole thing on a Dragon body because Toys articulation sucked. Smutzed around with the face a bit too.

But I think the jacket still looks too bulky. There is a guy who sells custom Indy's on ebay sometimes, and his jackets are made out of waxed cotton. His jackets look perfect. Exactly the right weight, not too bulky, lots of wrinkles in the right place, and perfect weathering. I'd take something like that over real leather any day.

[mindbook]

[QUOTE=HigHurtenflurst;704810]But I think the jacket still looks too bulky.

It ALL hinges on the body type you use......I use a RAH 301 body(Slim) it makes the jacket hang better.It's the same LOGIC fashion designers apply;The skinnier the model, the better the clothes hang.My rule of thumb is: The bulkier the jacket, or clothes, the thinner the figure should be, to compensate for the added density. A muscular body is wrong for this jacket(in my HONEST opinion) Skinny is better.

[Entropy Chicken]

Good observations mindbook. I like the RAH body too but think it's a bit short. I really like the Hot Toys body myself. Do you think it's too muscular?

I'm actually worried about SS's fedora. Like the jacket it changes a bit from movie to movie. I've got an Adventurebuilt one coming to me... sometime, been waiting almost a year now and after doing research on it I really don't have much faith that Sideshow is going to be obsessive enough to get the taper, the turn and the softness right.

[mindbook]

The legs on the RAH 301 figure can be extended with the "O" rings(included) The only muscular body I use is Truetype 38.....Is this a Hot Toys product?

Nice job. The hat especially looks wonderful weathered - we often saw it covered in dust. For the SS version I'd prefer a plastic hat that keeps its shape to a felt or soft hat that may look awful - memories of the Kenner 12" Indy!

[Wor-Gar]

Why is it Sideshow anounces the Reservoir Dogs license and has three figures up for preorder a week later while Indy was announced six months ago and still no pics?

This is simply complaining, I know.

Maybe Sideshow is gonna surprise us with several figures at once, like they did with the Bond line long ago. A blitz!

Indiana, Marion and Toht!

I know it's probably a dream, but it would get the line going right from the start, rather than rolling out one at a time each month. If they do it one at a time, and they start in Feb (Toyfair) that means we'd only get 3 before the Jones flick opens.

[Captain Britain]

I'd be really surprised if we get anything other than ROTLA Indy and his Dad, plus new movie Indy and Mutt. Much as I'd love, and would buy, a Mola Ram or Lao Che figure, I can't see them having much appeal beyond real hardcore collectors. I think Sideshow learnt it's mistake with the Bond line, where the edition sizes got smaller and smaller until it eventually folded.

But if they do Toht I want the exclusive to be a 'melting' head!

[YoNoSe]

This is simply complaining, I know.

Technically they announced that Reservoir Dogs license many months ago and then for some reason made another announcement recently, as if it were news. But anyway, the answer is that Reservoir dogs is a very minor line for them (there's only 300 of the exclusives made, for example), while Indy stands a good chance of doing very well for them, especially if the new movie is well received. I would hope they're taking the time to do it right.

[Wor-Gar]

But if they do Toht I want the exclusive to be a 'melting' head!

Here's hoping that this will be the definitive Indy figure for years to come. There are lots of good customs out there, but they're all expensive and they all seem flawed in one way or the other. We know they have a great sculpt, so it's just down to the outfit (and body) and paint.

[JediMike71]

Amen to that icruise! I have a decent custom Indy myself, but I want "the definitive" Indy I can proudly display at home for the rest of my life! I am hoping that Sideshow does truly "get it right" this time! Especially now that we know the headsculpt is awesome, the outfit has to be too! :D

I'm surprised people are saying Indy is the only figure they'll buy. I'm down for several more in this line as long as the quality is there.

[Blackhole]

I could go for an Indy fig...

I always loved these films...at least they started with the man himself...

Maybe the big sword guy... but no.. I'll only buy INDY! Here's hoping for replicas!

Yep, ROTLA for sure!!! I know that hat anywhere -- BEST hat is the series. :)

[thedarkknight]

I'm glad it's not just me who can tell what movie it is from the hat. Thought it was just me.

I'm with you, man. I plan on buying every figure Sideshow releases.

[choopie]

Well it just wouldn't be right to kick off the line and not start with Raiders. :cool:

As far as PF is concerned, all I want is Indy. But with the 12", I can see myself getting several characters: Marion, Sallah, Belloq, Toht, Mola Ram., etc. I'd be heavy on Raiders and just get a few stragglers from the other films.

[Wor-Gar]

:D Best hat, man.

As to other characters besides Indy... well, for me, they HAVE to make TOHT! (with melty head exclusive).

[Buttmunch]

OK, I lied. I'd get Indy's Dad too. Doubt anyone else after that though. Well, if there are melty faces, I couldn't pass up those Nazis.

:rotfl

I'd possibly go for his dad too...

"Junior!"

[Rogue Trooper]

I'll be getting him no doubt about that.

This is about the only line I could ever think of Sideshow doing where I will probably buy every figure they put out. As HUGE Indy fan and given the drought us die hard fans have had through the 80's and 90's of Indy stuff, it's great to see the flood gates start to open on this franchise. (Especially now that I'm older and can afford some of it!)

[Wor-Gar]

I'm getting whatever they offer!

[Batty]

So, do we think there will be an exclusive or are we looking at an inclusive? I wouldn't be surprised if this was inclusive. I have a feeling there'd be a lot of ticked off people if they miss out on an exclusive. Edition size of 1981. :D

[Wor-Gar]

If there's an exclusive it will probably be that IDOL.

You don't really NEED it, but it's always nice to have.

Or maybe his SANDBAG.

I hope they include the Headpiece to the Staff of Ra! I've always wanted that.

[galactiboy]

I think the idol would be standard... I think outside of his costume that's always the first item I think of. I really, really hope beyond all hope that Sideshow makes a 1/6 Ark of the Covenant. Maybe a light up feature inside if you "dare" to open it.

And if the regulars don't come with melty faces... maybe the Ark would!

[Indiana Fett]

I'm thinking that for an ROTLA Indy, the Idol and headpiece will need to come with the REGULAR edition...My thought is the exclusive will be the sandbag...or maybe the staff for the headpiece...although that will probably come with 'Indy in desert attire'...so I think the sandbag is a good bet...or maybe the torn up map to the temple? or both! :rock

[Batty]

I think the idol would be an obvious exclusive. And like GB said, maybe it should be standard. Maybe they'll go the SW route and include some weapon he held for 2 seconds as the exclusive.

And when they do Toht (and they better do Toht!), he better come with his fold-up hanger (:lol) and the headpiece of the Staff of Ra with alternate burned hand.

[Cocoboloboy]

I can see them doing an exclusive instead of inclusive version. I think the little gold idol would be a good EX piece too.

[Indiana Fett]

My bet is that because this is INDIANA JONES, one of the most requested figures by collectors for ages...and because it's launching the Sideshow line of Indy figs, it'll be INCLUSIVE...That's my gut feeling anyways.

[Wor-Gar]

I hope its a PPO with 1981 units for the exclusive item!

I lika da PPO. :)

[galactiboy]

I agree with ya WG... inclusive is for the weak! Although if I miss out I'm gonna be pissed :lol

I wonder if inclusives have been that successful for Sideshow, seems like they stay on 2nd chance for a long time. But, maybe they've already sold an insane so it balances out? What was the last inclusive anyway?

[Batty]

I hope its a PPO with 1981 units for the exclusive item!

I lika da PPO. :)

I'm with you on that! With exclusive boulder! :chew

I still wouldn't be surprised to see an inclusive. And I can't remember what the last one was.

[Mr. Fusion]

The exclusive could be his Dutch Bible with picture of the Ark. They could save that for a professor Indy though. I'm so excited.:D:D:D

[Indiana Fett]

I hope its a PPO with 1981 units for the exclusive item!

PPO with 1981 units for the exclusive...I DO like the sound of that! :chew

[Captain Britain]

OK, I lied. I'd get Indy's Dad too. Doubt anyone else after that though. Well, if there are melty faces, I couldn't pass up those Nazis.

Imagine a melty face three pack...Dietrich, Belloq and Toht...I would literally pay anything for that.

[Wor-Gar]

I'm with you on that! With exclusive boulder! :chew



That's an awesome idea! I have to make a boulder now out of styrofoam!

Imagine a melty face three pack...Dietrich, Belloq and Toht...I would literally pay anything for that.

YES! The three villains in the 'death modes' would be amazing!

Maybe I should make my customs MELTY!

I had to post my guys again, could be the last time once Sideshow makes perfect versions!

[thedarkknight]

I guess exclusive/inclusive is moot point for me. Since I passed on the Toys McCoy when it came out and have been kicking myself ever since, all I want is an Indy. Don't care if it's exclusive or not.

Does anyone think the edition size on the regular will be like the old Bond figures (15,000). I bet they could easily sell that many.

[scubasteve]

IDK. Yours are pretty incredible, WG!!

[Entropy Chicken]

I think the idol would be an obvious exclusive. And like GB said, maybe it should be standard. Maybe they'll go the SW route and include some weapon he held for 2 seconds as the exclusive.

Indy used 2 handguns in Raiders. The Smith & Wesson which is my fav, and the Browning HP semi-auto for the bar fight. The Browning would be a good exclusive.


I guess standard accessories would include the idol, sandbag and maybe gloved hands.
