Cinemaquette's Indiana Jones 24-Inch Figure!!

[Geb]

Very DETAILED...and looks pretty amazing. Something about the likeness is not quite right...but much better than the Aragorn from LOTR. Still...these figures are overpriced...except for the very dedicated fans. At 1000 worldwide...I can't imagine these selling out very quickly! Nonetheless...some great looking shots!

I'll be waiting for the PF from Sideshow.

[maatuu52]

does not look like him. the sculpt is off.

[Geb]

I'll be waiting for the PF from Sideshow.

Tell me about it...a PF with decent likeness would blow this away...especially the PRICE. While this has some amazing looking detail...I would gladly pay less for an Indiana Jones PF!

[gbtv01]

I think it looks more like Dominic Purcell from 'Prison Break' dressed up as Harrison Ford 'Indiana Jones'

[IrishJedi]

Cinemaquette took way too long to get this thing to production. Had it come out a year or two ago, they would have ended up selling a lot more I guarantee it.

Like most of you, I'll simply await the PFs from SSC (the first of which will be from RAIDERS). :rock

To me he actually looks more lke Clive Owen:

[The Mike]

While it looks pretty good, I agree the sculpt is off and knowing that there is a PF coming for SSC, just makes passing this a little easier.

[Kabukiman]

Why does he look so angry?

[The Mike]

Its the Indiana Jones "Leggo my Eggo" pose....

[Darklord Dave]

We've had this discussion many times before, but you're all crazy - it's dead on for Ford. IMHO, of course. :rolleyes:

[Bannister]

We've had this discussion many times before, but you're all crazy - it's dead on for Ford. IMHO, of course. :rolleyes:

I think it is slightly off but not as off as some people think. I think the Depp likeness is dead on as well but some people say they can't even see Depp in the sculpt which boggles my mind.

[Darklord Dave]

Yeah, I think the Depp is even better.

[Batty]

I think the likeness is there, I'm just not crazy about the real hair. Or the price.

The PF will suit me fine.

The only thing that keeps me from buying CM is the price.

[IrishJedi]

The only thing that keeps me from buying CM is the price.

Well, yeah. If it was the price of a PF I'd get one for sure.

But, alas, it's not. So I won't.

[Bannister]

Well, yeah. If it was the price of a PF I'd get one for sure.

But, alas, it's not. So I won't.

If they were around $1000.00 I would get them. The ones I want are all $1500.00 or more.

[DarkArtist81]

I'll be waiting for the PF from Sideshow.

Same here... It's nice, but not for the money. Especially with SSC doing an Indy PF eventually.

[TOE]

He looks great. Just not my thing to spend over $1000 on something but he looks great, the jacket specially.

The only statue I am thinking of spending big money on from Cinemaquette is the Predator.

[Rock83]

The eyes doesnt look right,anything else looks pretty good...

[Karma]

with sideshow doing other characters in PF, I'll collect that line so they match

[LOTRFan]

The only statue I am thinking of spending big money on from Cinemaquette is the Predator.

Agreed, arguably the Pred and Terminator (and perhaps Godfather) are the only ones who really best the SS PFs.

Once I heard SS' intentions this forever left my radar.

[TOE]

Terminator is great and so is the Godfather and Alien but not a fan.

The Predator is awesome, specially with the added countdown gauntlet and the base is superb.

[Trilogy]

Personally I think this maquette is pretty damn good and will no doubt look even better in person. I think the eye colouring throws the likeness off, but Cinemaquette have stated that the eyes will be corrected/darker.

[galactiboy]

Its like with both him and Aragorn all the elements are there... but something just doesn't quite work. They both have a bit of Cavemanization (patent pending on that word) thing going on. I wonder if its the material used to get that real skin look... maybe it distorts the portrait more than polystone?

[Ryanfromindiana]

I think the sculpt is there....I think it may be that he has googly eyes. I'm pretty sure it is the eyes that are throwing it off for me....it is still a pretty amazing piece, but the Predator is the only Cinamaquette I will be picking up/ able to afford. :)

[carbo-fation]

Love the detail in the figure, but sculpt is pretty weak.

[AmanaMatt]

The paint job may be throwing the likness off - but, it does not look like a dead on Harrison Ford to me; the quality of the outfit is fantastic, though!

How much are these?

[Darklord Dave]

The regular Indy will be $1750. There may be a more expensive signature edition.

[Boba Fett 73]

Wow that's spendy!.

The clothes look great, the eyes need some work then it will be great!!!.

[AmanaMatt]

The regular Indy will be $1750. There may be a more expensive signature edition.

Damn! Wow - no way!

[The Josh]

The regular Indy will be $1750. There may be a more expensive signature edition.

I'll wait for SS equally better and more reasonably priced edition.

[DarkKnight2k4]

I'm with Josh... worth the wait in my eyes.

[El Roranous]

The regular Indy will be $1750. There may be a more expensive signature edition.

Nope- way too much in my opinion. WAY too much $$$!:monkey4

[KitFisto]

The proto was DEAD ON Ford. This is off. The proto had a "5 o'clock shadow" painted on look on his face which was perfect. This is a thicker beard with actual hair and it makes it look off IMO.

[LOTRFan]

:rotfl:lol:rotfl

Even with the less than promising shadow pose for SS' Indy, this is just rediculous!

Why, oh why? :dunno

[Bannister]

Here are some pics from Comicon '06. I forgot how much better it looked.

[Bannister]

He is not kidding man. These things keep going up in price. In this case I think part of it has to do with Ford. It is hard to believe the Arnold retailed for $1100.00 compared to this.

[Darklord Dave]

Arnold was only $1000 I think. But that was before they realized that they weren't going to sell 1000 of them.

That Indy from 06 is the same sculpt as in the above pictures. The beard is different and supposedly they're going to fix it so it's not so full.

That is good that they are fixing the beard. It really looks better with the beard less full.

Just checked. We were both wrong. Retail on Arnold is $1200.00.

[FlyAndFight]

There's also the eyeliner that is throwing the facial features off. But as with the Elessar piece, the rest of the outfit is simply amazing.

But count me in as one that will wait for the SS PF version.

I'm REALLY looking forward to Sideshow's Indy line.

[SOLIDSNAKE]

that looks like crap
and the price !! OMG !!
If someone orders this thing they must be on crack.

I cant wait to see sideshow pF

[8th wonder]

The Sideshow 12'' looks more accurate than this. Pre-ordered my 12" indy today by the way:D.

That doesn't look like Harrison Ford at all. But I like the whip suspended in mid-swing, hopefully SS will do something similar rather then just letting it hang in his hand or off his belt.

Anyone else see a Thunderbirds likeness here?

[Trevolver]

Just more proof of how finicky that likeness is...:) I love the outfit on this piece...pose, not so much my thing, but I think the tailoring is really nice.

I really hope we get to see the perfect Ford before the year is up. I want it as badly as you guys. He is just strangely one of the most difficult likeness you can be up against. I would think for cinemaquette's prices, they would have really pushed for better than this though. (just look at that Brando! damn, that's nice)

Trev

[The Josh]

Yours is pretty damn close Trev.

[Sachiel]

Just ignore him Josh.

:monkey5

[Rugby1970]

So strange, but two years ago at Comic-con I was convinced that this was going to be the ultimate Indy piece.

It's still a cool piece but Sideshow has really raised the stakes. I'd argue that for now 1/6 Indy is the best Indy piece bar none. Excited to see what the premium format brings.

In the newest photos it appears that they're even going for a Chrystal Skull Indy. The hair looks greyer and the beard is so short. Interesting.

[The Josh]

Just ignore him Josh.

:monkey5

:rotfl:rotfl

Nah I like Trev. :D

[Darklord Dave]

I was all ready to order the CMQ Indy and even have a pre-order in. In person the likeness is much better. But the SSC PF will be out soon and I'm thinking that it will be just as good (or better) for a 1/4 the price.

[galactiboy]

I just don't get the appeal of most of these, don't get me wrong some (like the Predator and Godfather) turn out great. But Aragorn and Indy just don't seem to be happening... especially for the insane prices :google

The Alien is pretty awesome as are the other two GB listed. Aragorn, Indy, and Jack just never did appeal 2 me.

[El Roranous]

This doesn't look much like Indy in the face.

I personally like the Terminator Arnold CM and all the creatures and robots like the Alien and the TX. The only problem is that they are soooo expensive and way too intricate to ship safely.

[IrishJedi]

I agree, SS INdy all the way. Much better value for your dollar. :rock

And it may even LOOK better.

[El Roranous]

And it may even LOOK better.

It probably will to be honest. I think the new "improvements" make the CM Indy look even worse than it did before. I like everything but the face on it....and the outrageous price. :google


Gone are the days I will spend that amount of money on a piece. *breathes a sigh of relief* :lol

[Gruson]

CM really went downhill IMO.

I loved the Terminator pieces and that was it.

Alien is too thin, not accurate.

Aragorn's face is awful.

Predator's "crown" is too large (much like Pred2)

Indy used to look pretty good but is awful now.

Not sure what happened with CM.....

[DarthNeil]

I'd buy two Indy PF's... Of course one from Raiders, perhaps standing while a later PF from ToD with his whip ready (when faced by the thuggee swordsmen before running for the rope bridge).

I've only gone for the SW PF's (staying away from LOTR or other lines that I collect like Bond) but I'll definitely be getting an Indy PF.

[choopie]

After seeing the latest Indy update from CM, I'm grateful to Sideshow for making a PF Indy.

[IrishJedi]

CM has lot a lot of potential sales. Not only due to how this piece has turned, but because it's taking them so long to get it to the market.

[DarthNeil]

I might have missed it (so I apologize) but what's the number and the price?

[SSC_Nerd]

I'm sure the flash isn't helping for this pic, but it still isn't looking too awesome if you ask me.

http://tf08.figures.com/data/613/DSC_0965.JPG

I just hope Sideshow does a better PF likeness. Ford can be a pain to nail.

[galactiboy]

You forgot about the Alien. That thing is badass.

Yeah, those were just two that came to me off the top of my head, I like the Endo as well. Seem to do better with non-humans.

Shocking seeing that from the guy who defended them for so long. Looks like now that you've sold out you can admit that they're crap.

My CM T-800 is simply stunning.

But i have to agree that CM really struggle with human faces. I really want the Indy CM with Ford signed COA, but the face and price increase scream NO!

The Sideshow Indy PF appears the way to go.

I havn't given up on CM, the Alien is currently on order. But Sideshow are currently delivering at a higher standard at a lower price bracket.

More Sideshow for me.

[Darklord Dave]

My thoughts exactly... I can't wait to see the SSC PF--- SDCC do you think?

I think Heath said in chat that it was just around the corner. So I'm thinking well before SDCC.

:monkey5:monkey5:monkey5:monkey5:monkey5:monkey5

[chuck20]

I actually like the sideshow headsculpt more. Nevertheless, the pose is unique and the fact that all this Indy merchandise is finally being made is a great thing. Maybe not to my pocketbook, but decades without decent attainable toys has been rough.

[Billy Ray]

I don't know if I could sleep with this thing int he same room...he looks CREEPY!!! Also, why are his eyes blue?

[cedric72]

I'm quite sure that Sideshows Premium Format will look better.
The face bothers me on the CM.

[IrishJedi]

Also, why are his eyes blue?

Ford has bluish-greenish-grayish eyes. Very hard to capture in paint, especially since they actually appear to change colors depending on the lighting. The problem is, a lot of licensees go with the bright blue for whatever reason... and it just comes out looking off. His eyes are not that bright and very rarely look that blue.

This happens a lot, actually. Remember the first Han figure prototype paint apps from Sideshow? :google

The CM likeness would look better, imho, if they toned down the eye color a bit. It's throwing it off even more.

That's true. I once did a painting of Indiana Jones and had no idea what to color the eyes! I ended up mixing brown with green.

In RAIDERS Ford's eyes look bluish-grey, and sometimes green, but in STAR WARS, Ford has brown eyes.

[olvidadero]

he looks NOTHING like harrison.
I can see him in the ComicCon prototype, but still, it leaves too much to be desired.
I'm sure the PF will easily beat this.

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, I think the original CM shown at SDCC '06 was pretty amazing.

It looks considerably less like Ford now though, in almost every way. :monkey2

I don't think it's changed except for the length of the beard. The flash shots from toy fair aren't helping the figure at all.

I'm quite sure the flesh tones and the eye color are very different, at least.

[chuck20]

i think the size of the buttons are distracting.

[El Roranous]

I was actually just thinking the same thing!
They are way oversized. For the price this thing should be absolutely perfect. That has always been my thing with CM. If you are paying a premium then everything should be premium.

From TMTI... apparently, despite being utterly "pwned" by Sideshow's PF, Cinemaquette still plans to go through with this expensive endeavor:

Cinemaquette spoke with us briefly today and here's what they had to say -

"We are planning to ship the first few (Indiana Jones) units next month. We should have some for our domestic customers by the time the movie is released. The retail price will be $2,000.00"

When the Indiana Jones statue goes live on their site shortly this is what the description will read -

CINEMAQUETTE VOLUME 7
Indiana Jones

If adventure has a name, it's Indiana Jones! The world's most famous archaeologist leaps into action with this newest edition in the Cinemaquette series! Constructed of polyurethane composite with realistic silicon skin, the Indiana Jones Cinemaquette's head is individually punched with real human hair, and features film-accurate clothing, weaponry and equipment, from his trusty revolver to his famous bullwhip, authentic in every detail.

Specifications:

. Approximately 24 inches in height
. Clothing and weaponry reproduced in scale with precise detail
. Handsome display base
. Each Certificate bears Harrison Ford's signature

Limited in production to 1,000 units worldwide


$2,000.00!!!! :google You could literally get SEVEN of the Sideshow PFs for one of these things!! :duh

Maybe the production piece will have a better likeness.The arnold terminator from cinemaquette is still my all time favorite collectible from that movie and has an awesome likeness...But if it stays like that what a f'n waste of a 2 k...

The T-800 Arnold piece is indeed awesome... but their stuff has gone downhill since then. First Aragorn, and now this. And those prices! :monkey4 :monkey4 :monkey4

[Shai Hulud]

Yeah I forgot about Aragorn, he was pretty disgusting...:monkey4

[Karma]

how many misses can cinemaquette afford to take as this must be expensive to develop & I sure they can't afford to have them just sit in a warehouse

I don't think they sit in a warehouse. They make these things in batches of 50 from what I understand.

Not to mention upfront Lucasfilm licensing fees.

Isn't the Cinemaquette line put out by Toynami? The same hacks that brought us the "Masterpiece Collection" Alpha fighters from Robotech that would literally crumble in your hands when you tried to transform them? Haha! $2k...that's awesome. And yet, I'll bet some of you have your preorders in... :lol :monkey3

The Sideshow version is better than the Cinemaquette!:cool:

The Sideshow version is better than the Cinemaquette!:cool:

Definitely. Although if SS produced one with a similar pose I'd get it.:D

[carbo-fation]

Sideshow's is def. more affordable and looks like Harrison Ford.

[galactiboy]

So is the price something they just announced, I don't really follow CM and figured the price was known the whole time.

But either way $2K is just ridiculous, no matter how nice it is (and its not even that great) its just not worth anywhere near that amount. Especially when you can get a better looking version from Sideshow.

[customizerwannabe]

I'd pay the 2K if it were spot on perfect. Far from it. I'll take the SS PF anyday.

[Rugby1970]

I feel kind of bad for them... two years ago the Indy proto was one of the THE highlights of Comic-con. No one had seen anything like it - the likeness wasn't perfect but one of the best for its time. The clothes, the accessories... all great stuff.

It really shows what skill it takes to pull this stuff off and Sideshow have done an amazing job.

I still might consider it if the likeness improves but hats off to Sideshow for nailing this license. Dare I say it is because the love comes through in all the work and details: all the way from the business end to Trevor's awesome sculpts? Sideshow set out to nail this and they did. Hat's off to them!

[IrishJedi]

It's their own fault. They drug their feet and missed their window of opportunity by several months. Also, the end product is apparently many steps down from what they actually first unveiled.

[Reinhardt]

here's to hoping that the Sideshow production piece is not way off from the prototype!!
(i have faith that it will look amazing)

[Agent23]

I never did like the Cinemaquette Indiana Jones. I always wanted to hold out to see if SS would do a p.f., which we lucked out and they did.

Now, I am adopting the same philosophy for Captain Jack Sparrow. I REALLY want a Captain Jack in my collection. But, I don't care for the Cinemaquette one (likeness is off, and no hat), plus it's too expensive. I'm holding out to see if SS does a p.f.

[The Josh]

I've only ever payed that kind of money for one collectibles and it was something truly perfect in my mind. If this was truly perfect I'd consider it too bad for CM Trev and SS did it for way the heck less.

I don't see Sideshow getting the POTC license just for PF's since the 1/6th license is already taken. So I think the Cinemaquette Jack is the best version there is going to be.

These are really nice, but with bad sculpts and high prices it just isn't worth it. Really I'd probably rather see them do a 1:1 bust of the characters with the same quality. Probably cost around the same and I think that could be more impressive.

[Fubeca]

Cinemaquette took way too long to get this thing to production. Had it come out a year or two ago...

Sideshow would never do that!!!






:ogat :D

[General Kenobi]

You know, I really wanted one of these, but it is out of my price range. I'm actually glad to see that I wouldn't have wanted it anyway. The sculpt just isn't right, aand for that kind of money it should be perfect. Sideshow's looks better.

[Indiana Jones]

Still can't believe the price of this thing.....2k...

With that I could no doubt end up with a premium format from all 4 Indy movies...A 1/6th figure from all 4 movies...and still have nearly 400 dollars in change!

I didn't realize it was 2K.....wow.
The irony is, they're probably not going to be in business long, and as soon as the Company closes then these figures will become valuable collectibles because only a few were made and sold..:naughty

[Simone]

Can't wait to receive my CM Indy. Hope you all get lucky with the SS version, I know I will with this Cinemaquette.

How does Cinemaquette stay in business? Do they have other stuff they make or are they a branch of a larger company?

[Darth Caedus]

They said taht their Indy has individually punched real human hair...quite honestly, that's kinda disgusting...

[monkeydad16]

What's the price tag on that type of figure?

[Rugby1970]

"Huge"?? That's a stretch! And they are an American company, btw. A small one, at that. :rotfl

Ha! My bad... that's true. They are in Van Nuys, CA. Could have sworn they've been around for ever but it looks like they've only been around since 2000. They must sell a ton of Naruto toys to bank roll this.

[crasis]

Yep, that and their overpriced Robotech toys that fall apart if you happen to breathe on them the wrong way. :monkey2

[IronFingaz]

What's the price tag on that type of figure?

It will propably cost around $1750.

[Vader AL]

It will propably cost around $1750.

I think it's going to be $2,000.

[hairlesswookiee]

hmm... i just finished reading the last couple of posts. i think the cinemaquette has the "butterface" look. everything looks good, butterface!!! now, they have some really AWESOME pieces such as the Alien, Jack Sparrow, and the Terminator pieces. and with the Predator as popular as he is getting now, i'm sure they'll sell a crap ton of them.

[Darklord Dave]

Ha! My bad... that's true. They are in Van Nuys, CA. Could have sworn they've been around for ever but it looks like they've only been around since 2000. They must sell a ton of Naruto toys to bank roll this.

Actually Toynami IS huge. The ship millions of toys in Asia and that's where they make their money. Cinemaquette is a labor of love for the president of Toynami. I chatted with him at length at SDCC last year. None of the Cinemaquettes make a profit. The T-850 was retired as soon as it made back it's costs. He plans on doing that with all of them. So none will hit the listed 1000 edition size.

[crasis]

I still wouldn't classify them as "huge", Dave. Bandai is huge. Hasbro/TakaraTomy, now that's big. Toynami is a very small fry in the grand scheme of things, especially in Japan.

[SOLIDSNAKE]

Very DETAILED...and looks pretty amazing. Something about the likeness is not quite right...but much better than the Aragorn from LOTR. Still...these figures are overpriced...except for the very dedicated fans. At 1000 worldwide...I can't imagine these selling out very quickly! Nonetheless...some great looking shots!

Wow likeness is so off I am wondering if they even intended to make it look like Indy!

[TURINS~BANE]

I wonder when this will go up for pre order? Not that im getting it. But for those that do I hope they get the likesness changed.

[KrisSolo]

I truly think the piece will look alot better in person than the pics suggest. I'm excited to see some in-hand shots. Not that I can afford either the price or the space on this one, but hey... the SS PF and OfficialPix signed Indy pic will just have to do :)

[thedarkknight]

I'm sure it will look better in person, but for $2000.00, there is no way I'd consider buying it.

[zoid2323]

Theres something off about that face.His eyes are bulging like he's constipated or somethin'.:confused:

[Radagaster]

Who owns the 1/6 license for Jack Sparrow? And there's nothing stopping SS from grabbing the 1/4 PF license. It would be funny if SS cranks out a 1/4 PF of Jack Sparrow that looks better than the $2k CM version.

[el81295]

For $2K, the face being off is a dealbreaker.

[TURINS~BANE]

Exactly, how did they get it so wrong though?

[zoid2323]

Just got the email from Cinemaquette its up for pre-sale.

[urbanfreddy]

same here but 2000 :google

[Sick Boy 82]

Already sold out, WTF??!! I wasn't gonna get it, just wanted to see the final product. Went to check it out and there is already a wait list!! Holy ^^^^!!

[Sick Boy 82]

I don't care for the face, which entirely throws it off.

But I may have to get the Predator because I missed out on the Maquette from SSC.

[Brent72]

I'm stunned that 1,000 people paid $2k for a statue with a likeness that's nowhere close to what Sideshow is offering for under $300. More money than sense I guess.

[Jesseawilson]

Trust me it isn't any better in person. We all saw it at SDCC last year it the face looks just as heinous in person.

[Rugby1970]

I'm sure it's not sold out. It works differently than Sideshow.

They make a very small amount at a time and fill a certain number of orders. Once those are sold they make a few more... they cannot afford to make pieces they aren't selling.

I got on the 'wait list' for the Alien and T2 and had the orders filled very quickly.

[Sick Boy 82]

How does paying for one of these work?? Do you pay for the whole thing up front, or is there a deposit?? Thanks!

I could care less for this, even though other than the face, this is a truely amazing piece of art and you cannot dispute that. But I will have that Predator. I just need to make sure I have the money when it comes out next year.

[IrishJedi]

I got the announcement email as well.

I immediately :lol and then deleted it.

Actually I couldn't disagree more. Aside from the over long beard, it looks excellent in person, one of the better Ford likenesses out there.

[IrishJedi]

It doesn't look bad in person and the likeness IS there.... but for $2,000.00 and released at a time where there is a glut of (better) INDY product available and on the horizon this is a total drop of the ball by Cinemaquette.

I have absolutely zero interest in the piece now.

[Sick Boy 82]

Sooo, you're saying it looks better than the SSC PF??

[Brent72]

You guys just got shot down by the dave.:lol

Um, not really. I still stand by my opinion that the SS likeness blows it away and on top of that you have an extra $1700+ in your pocket at the end of the day. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

[Jesseawilson]

Message boards are about peoples opinions (some more objective then others).

I desperately wanted this of all the figures from cinimaquette to turn out good. If they had hit the likeness right on like SS I would have purchased it today. If you just saw the head sculpt by itself you would say it just looks like one of those knockoff sculpts from a lesser company. It would at the very best "slightly resemble" someone who was supposed to look like Indy and that's about it. I thought that and I hadn't even seen the SS PF yet obviously. Now that I have, and calculating the price difference, I'd call the cinimaquette a colossal waste of money. Which is a shame, because if the likeness had matched or exceeded SS's I would have paid probably 1K for it which is realistically what I think should be charged for it. 2K is pure madness, only people with money to burn, a strong desire for 1/3 scale, or have a hard on for the dynamic pose would even consider it.

[TURINS~BANE]

Well said Jes. I after agree with you it is a total waist of money when you can get SS for under 300.

[chavez553]

Cinemaquette's are for a different breed of collector,one peice or difintive piece collector,I should say.As for Indiana's likeness,it may be a little off but he looks far more realistic as a person than Sideshow's PF's.The outfit is A-1

That said,I would never pay that kind of cash for a Indiana statue/figure,but I sure as hell am going to get the Alien and Predator CM's.

[IrishJedi]

The outfit on Sideshow's PF is much more screen-accurate.

[chavez553]

The outfit on Sideshow's PF is much more screen-accurate.

It does look pretty good for a PF but I as I said before,the CM"s outfit looks far better and superior.

[El Roranous]

These are way too expensive for me. I own 2 CMs and I do think they are great but when I think about how much they cost I nearly want to cry.

I was going to buy the Jack Sparrow CM but honestly I couldn't bring myself to shell out that kind of money for something that will just sit there. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I just prefer to get a great product from Sideshow for a much better deal. Less buyers remorse. :lol

[IrishJedi]

It does look pretty good for a PF but I as I said before,the CM"s outfit looks far better and superior.

Well, you're wrong. Drop on any Indy Gear forum and you will see that the costuming on the PF is far more accurate than the Cinemaquette's. Or, better yet... just watch RAIDERS and see for yourself.

Also, the buttons on the CMQ statue suffer from Medicom Zipper Syndrome. They are huge.

[Vader AL]

i checked out the pics on their site for the indy but was reading about and looking at pics of the Predator and that thing is 32" tall! that sounded like a lot but when I pulled out the tape measure and measured 32" up from the kitchen table it really hit home at how big that bad boy is, yikes! try it.

It's very clear when you look at the Predator images that it's not Michael Jackson - the face is nowhere near scary and distorted enough.

CM makes some AWESOME stuff... But this is not one of them. The pose for this is DEAD ON, but the likeness is DEAD OFF! That looks NOTHING like Harrison Ford.

This is the thread in question, for anyone interested (took me a little while to find it).

http://www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=74310

I think Sideshow's version looks a lot better, personally. When you consider that it's also less than 1/6th the price, it seems like a no-brainer.

[SovereignStudio]

Yeah, that sculpt is off quite a bit. I think it has a lot to do with the eyes, the eyebrows in particular, because it looks better when they're hidden by the hat. The ribbon on the hat is awful wrong type, wrong color and they put the bow on the wrong side!! His hairline is way too receeded, too. Even now at 66 Ford does not have that hairline. And the jacket is really bad, too, viewed from the back. The bi-swing panel is all wrong. It looks just like one of the US Wings knock-off jackets. Yeah, this thing has NOTHING on SSC's PF!! I love the PF more every time I drool on the photos :gun

[CelticP]

Wow! A Peter Stormare figure!

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/08On6XReUy3ZM/340x.jpg

[Bardoon]

Disappointing...they even messed up some accuracies on the costume and that fedora ribbon looks TERRIBLE.

The likeness is not there and for $2,000 that is a HUGE selling point for me. Their Predator looks like a home run and it's easy to create the likeness of a creature in comparison to an actor...but for what they do, there should be no excuses.

[SpawnFan]

After seeing some of those CM's it seems you should only get them if the subject matter is a creature, their Aragorn, Indy and Arnold look like crap! Like actual crap!!

Considering retail on Arnold was something like $1100-$1200 and I paid $650.00 I would say it was worth it.(I would say it was worth it at $1100.00 as well.) Would I pay $2000.00 for the Indy? Hell no.

[SpawnFan]

Ah ok well $650 for the Arnold lessens the argument against it.

[spartan]

I puzzled that anyone could see Ford in this sculpt.
But from what I have seen in the pictures, official and unofficial, I wouldn't buy this even if it was for the price of a PF, buts that's just my opinion.

the PF on the other hand seems to have the thumbs up in likeness

this looks like an expensive figure of a "man" dressed as Indy... not Ford...

I can't believe they're expecting someone to pay two grand for a figure that looks nothing like Harrison Ford. The Hasbro figures have a better likeness.
