The INDIANA JONES Thread

[Batty]

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.

I could definitely see them doing the Browning as the exclusive. It makes as much sense as the Greedo blaster for Han.


I like the new avatar, btw!

[Wor-Gar]

IDK. Yours are pretty incredible, WG!!

Thank you!

And, Batty, you just reached POST 1,000 on the Indiana Jones thread!!!

INDY! INDY! INDY!

:fireworks :fireworks :fireworks
I hope Sideshow doesn't make us wait until the last day of Toy Fair to see him!

[galactiboy]

They might tease us like that... :tap But I'd love to see him in all his glory on day 1!

[wookilar8]

Looking mighty good so far. Noticing no signs of monkey arm syndrome either.

[Sachiel]

And no big head. :D

I'm interested in the costuming and what accessories he may have.

Getting excited. :chew

Thanks! I finally caved and added an avatar to celebrate my momentous 500th post. :lol
Yours is still my favorite that I've seen on this forum. Love Roy's peepers.
And Congrats on the 1k Indy post.

I wonder how long it'll be between unveiling Indy and when we can order him? Toy Fair can't come fast enough.

[stshammgod]

That body in the teaser pic is standing quite well, doesn't look like SS body proportions. Could they have caved and went with the Hot Toys body? One can only hope.

[galactiboy]

That would be great if Indy debuted on a new body... but I'm not holding my breath on that :monkey4 Good thing is Indy is a fully clothed figure so even with the Buck he should still look good.

[doesitmatter]

Awesome! I'm going to hit that preorder like concert tickets.

INDY! INDY! INDY!

[FlyAndFight]

I can't wait for the 12" figure and the PF of Indy. :chew

[Captain Britain]

Looks like there's plenty of Hasbro Raiders goodness coming our way:

http://www.action-figure.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=22579

and in another post he mentions a 'talking Indy' figure!

[Agent23]

I wanna see how the 12" turns out, but, I won't be buying it.

I'm really looking forward to the P.F. Indiana Jones. That one will be mine.

:D

[JediMike71]

I on the other hand, WILL be buying the 12" or 1:6 scale Indy from Sideshow! :D On my tight spending budget I'm likely to not be able to afford the 1:4 Premium Format statue. :monkey2

[Batty]

Both the PF and 1:6 for me, please. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3792/6s9937rjg1.gif (http://imageshack.us)

Same here. I want a RAIDERS PF and 1:6 versions of every Indy. :rock :rock :rock

[Murderofcrows71]

Someone's who's talented with photoshop should be able to put the colorized version of Trevor's sculpt on the new picture for a better look.

[icruise]

It seems that his face is at a different angle in the two pictures, so these don't match up entirely, but I guess this is good enough.

http://homepage.mac.com/denkinews/images/toys/indy_peek1.jpg

[The Josh]

Count me in for all the 1:6th of Indy (himself) and PF (Just Indy).

[thedarkknight]

I'll definately buy 1/6 Indy. Probably the entire 1/6 line.

On another note. If they do have new body for Indy, please get new posts for the hands. I may be the only one here who thinks this, but they just annoy me.

[The Josh]

I don't know if I'll get the entire line or not. I doubt it since I'm getting the entire LOTR and SW lines.

[Sachiel]

Crap, that looks real when shrunk to that size.

[Seretur]

That looks REAL, period.

The best Harrison Ford sculpt ever made, not only in the Indy license. It's freakishly true to Raiders.

I'm still sad we didn't get a chance for any Indy non-PF statues and dioramas, but considering that it's INDIANA JONES, it just might be the only 12" figure I buy just to play with, ever.

Although Trevor's work belongs in a museum. :)

[Entropy Chicken]

I'm really enjoying the Indy Lego sets, though I'm surprised there's no ToD minecar set w/ Willie and Shortround. :confused:

[Dr.Mirakle32]

I would definitely get a RAIDERS Indy. After then, I might get a ceremonial Belloq, a Mola Ram, and maybe one of the Indy varaints.

[IrishJedi]

Obviously,the INDY 1:6 line will not be nearly as expansive as the SW line. But we should expect to see at least 5-6 different versions of Indy himself and about that many supporting character figures.

And a 1:6 Ark of The Covenant is a must (as is a 1:4 version as well).

Hasbro themselves are doing a 1:6 scale ark, as a mailaway offer.

That makes 2 of us Tom. I started my "INDY, INDY, INDY" PF thread chant after your wish came true with the "FETT, FETT, FETT" PF thread...I mean I know we'll get him in PF soon enough...and I do collect 1/6 as well, so this is cool...But I'm with you anyways. A PF Indy first would have been REALLY cool!

WOW! Melty Toht bust. Now that WOULD be awesome! :D

[Entropy Chicken]

I read a bunch of comments about the melty heads, but what I wonder is how melty do you want them? Stage 1 - Still recognizable actor (the pic above I would guess), Stage 2 - blood beginning to pour from mouth, skin running from the bone, Stage 3 - Practically a bloody skeleton? WorGar's avatar is a good place to see how Toht changes.

Yeah, that sculpt is sick looking! I think its been photoshopped with color, but if we see something close to that for production I will **** myself with glee :rock

And yes, I do **** glee :huh

:lol

Okay, seriously, I went to a local toy show in Phoenix today and one of the sellers had this figure and I wanted to share the pics. I apologize for the face being covered by the hat, but I didn't want to hassle the guy and ask him to open box and move hat just so I could take photos. I guess these were put out shortly after the movie, so sometime back in early 80's. He said these were a fairly limited release. Asking price was $295. We then talked about SS new IJ license and what will be shown at upcoming toy fair.

[tomandshell]

It's funny that the hat is pulled down over the face and there is no picture anywhere on the package of the head sculpt.

:D

[Mesa]

Yeah, I know, I thought the same thing once I got home and looked at the photo. Oh well. I certainly wasn't about to drop 300 bones on him, so I didn't want to trouble the guy, but now I wish I had.

[Darklord Dave]

If memory serves, it's the same sculpt as the vintage Solo? I seem to remember they didn't even change the hair style. But I could be wrong.

[Captain Britain]

If memory serves, it's the same sculpt as the vintage Solo? I seem to remember they didn't even change the hair style. But I could be wrong.

That's right, it's exactly the same sculpt, down to the seventies hair, although they changed the colour of the eyes to brown.

With the packaging it's actually a really nice figure, though not worth $300 unless C10 mimsb!

[doesitmatter]

Here's mine after 25 years:
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p68/Jackyrhode/Indy.jpg

Found him in my parents' attic this past summer, along with the original Well of Souls playset! I restored that and plan to use it with the Hasbro 3 3/4" stuff.

Yeah, I think $300 is pretty high for this figure, even MIB. But still a cool vintage classic.

Fairly limited release my arse! I vivdly remember these being clearanced out at TRU and KB like all the other Indy stuff because at the time it just didn't sell. And that price of $295 is crazy. They've actually come down to the $100-150 mark in the last year or so, I know because i've been trying to hunt one down since I destroyed mine as a kid...

[thedarkknight]

I got this in the mail yesterday. Hero Heads has made a new Indiana Jones sculpt. Here is a picture. Sorry, I can't get a better shot from my camera. It might be the skin colored resin he used, not sure.

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/thedarkknightreturns_2006/NewHeadUnpainted.jpg

My only issue with it is the eyes are squinting more than the last one. Does anyone know a good way to open them up without messing up the sculpt?

[Sachiel]

Who wants to see the Skull?

I have that same head sculpt. I don't think it's possible to widen the eyes with ruining the sculpt. What do you plan on making with this head, which movie I mean. I chose to make a KOTCS Indy.

So are we only gonna get a glimpse at the Indy figure this next week or will he be available to preorder?

Yeah I've been waiting for this figure for a long time, like 80% of every 1/6 scale customizer a Indy fig was the whole reason I started.
I see from the sneak peek that he's got the gloved hands, makes me wonder what the exclusive might be, one head with hat one without? idol? alternate gun from the Raven bar? How bout a cobra for the Well of Souls scene with the pane of glass.
Hoping a Well of Souls Marion is next in line.

I guess I half expected Sideshow to do something today as the official teaser trailer for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is out today.

The flip side of that is that there will be a fair number of people, just like Star Wars fans, who will slavishly love the film, and declare it the best thing ever no matter what the quality turns out to be.

Don't get me wrong, I'm as huge an Indy fan as there is and want the film to be awesome. The trailer looks really good and gives me more hope after some of the wacky rumors I've heard. I'll just reserve judgment until I actually see the film. :)

There's a tiny picture of the 12'' figures head in the newsletter.

[Sachiel]

Notice the neck angle to the head? Trev sculpted a neck, but unless it's photoshopped, it looks like a new body. They could have gotten rid of the neck. Or the shadows and coat give it that appearance. The proportions in the silhouette teaser looked better than a Sideshow body.

Here's hoping.
