New Toymart issue

[thedarkknight]

Has anyone seen this issue yet? They said very soon and I wasn't sure if it would hit newstands today or next week. Magazines come in every day here.

[Geb]

Has not been released yet...probably next week or later...DURING the toyfair show. THe synopsis of the magazine is about Toyfair...so probably won't be out for a week or so.

Saw the tiny thumbnail in the newsletter though. Loooks amazing!

If Indy will be revealed in Tomart's does that mean he won't go up for preorder during Toy Fair?

[SSC_Nerd]

Damn. Ordered.

[kuzeh]

Holy s***!!!
Thatt looks awesome!! Wow!!
When's the preorder??

[SSC_Nerd]

Is it just me, or are the Indy threads not popping up under "recent threads" on the main page? I'm sure Dave's on it by now.:monkey3

WOW!!!!!!!
:clap


I've just **** myself!!

[Darthrazz]

Does the Jacket look like real leather?

[galactiboy]

Nice find doesitmatter, I tried locating that last night online w/o success.

Looks great, face seems a little thick... but it is a smaller picture. But everything else so far looks stellar. And if its the Trevor sculpt I have no worries.

[SSC_Nerd]

Does the Jacket look like real leather?

Looks like the stuff they made Aragorn's coat with. Pleathery goodness.

[Buttmunch]

Looks great! He even has gloved hands! The whip also looks nice. Now the ultimate question: What is the exclusive going to be?

[TheObsoleteMan]

Fantastic!

Now, let's just hope Indy survives his greatest challenge yet... the factory.

[Darthrazz]

Looks great! He even has gloved hands! The whip also looks nice. Now the ultimate question: What is the exclusive going to be?

How about an extra bloodied and beaten headsculpt?

[TheObsoleteMan]

Now the ultimate question: What is the exclusive going to be?

The staff maybe?

[Darthrazz]

Maybe the Monkey!

[Buttmunch]

Anyone notice there is a crate at the bottom near the Ledger Joker? Maybe the crate the Arc was in at the warehouse?

http://www.secure.figures.com/tomart/catalog/images/afd163cover.jpg

I just hope it is included and not just some fancy filler stuff.

[The Mike]

HOLY ****IN' ****!

Put me down for Two!!! :rock

[Buttmunch]

I think the only nit to pick is that his jacket (as well as the rest of his clothing) isn't weathered at all.

Very nice. I'll have to pick one up. :)

[Captain Britain]

http://www.secure.figures.com/tomart/catalog/images/afd163cover.jpg

I absolutely HATE to be downbeat about this figure... but based on this one image alone I don't like it (and yes, I'm sure that will change when more images arrive online). The jacket looks too pleather and the face land paint sculpt look too much like Fedora, the guy at the beginning of Last Crusade who gives young Indy his hat. I also wish the clothes were more weathered

Repeat, I'm sure I'll like it when I see more images. Believe me, I have never in my life wanted to like a figure more than this one.

[abake]

Looks mighty nice to me!
I'm not sure I'll get one, but I sure see that headsculpt in any future Blade Runner figures I might plan to customize...

[doesitmatter]

That's one custom job just about anyone can do.

[screamingmetal]

It looks really good. I can't wait for more pics.
The head though might be a little on the large side but with that pose, it's hard to tell. And the jacket really needs to be dirtied up, I want it too look more like the Fedora.
But overall, great figure that I know I'll preorder on the spot!

[DarkArtist81]

Awesome!! :rock

And I cannot WAIT to dirty the Hell out of him. I might even get two to bust up in different ways. :lol

[bagelsncheesey]

WOW.

I'm blown away by the painted sculpt and clothing. Consider it mine! :D :rock

[Rugby1970]

I think he looks pretty incredible. The sculpt, the gloves, everything. I've picked up a few expensive custom Indys over the years and I can't believe how great this one looks and I'm sure it will be half the price.

As others have mentioned, we just need to dirty him up a bit... I'd love to find some fake cobwebs to mimic the look after the Peruvian temple.

It will be great to pick up two and combine one with the best of the custom pieces to kit bash and sort of an ultimate Indy.

Someone will have to do an extensive weathering tutorial because I for one am not sure how to even begin.

I'm really excited to see what else they bring to the line!

Damn, I just crapped my pants, that's AWESOME!!!! :rock

[pjam]

I can't believe I'm getting this free with reward points! :D

I will be weathering the jacket myself..

Does anyone know if it will be on a new body? Has that been confirmed?

[paulcarson]

WHOO-HOO ! ABOUT TIME !

That is AWESOME ! :D

[Eli26]

With their 1/6 Obi Wan and now this Indiana Jones, SideShow really seems to be hitting it out of the ballpark of late. I am not a huge fan of their body, but the fact that Indy will be fully clothed, hiding the body and those joints makes this figure all the more alluring. This just might be the first 1/6 SideShow figure I have purchased since the Master, which was years ago.

Keep up the excellent work SideShow! If the production pieces look anything like this picture, we're in for a kick-ass toy!

Can I get a hell yeah? hehe

What, it's corny, but do it anyway. DO IT!

[darthviper107]

Wow, that really looks amazing.


If it turns out at least that good, I'd might say it's the best 1/6th figure Sideshow has ever made.

[Rogue Trooper]

http://www.secure.figures.com/tomart/catalog/images/afd163cover.jpg

When do i get to order this, looks like a bit of weathering to the jacket and it will be the best SSC ever except maybe old ben

[The Mike]

This is where my Relic Hunter comes into play! I definitely will be mixing and matching using those die-cast parts and upgrading whatever I can for the Ultimate Indy! :rock

It must be nice to see it all come together. I know how you feel. When I send a painted head off to someone, I am always pumped to see what it looks like when the person gets it mounted and all the clothing together. It's really badass. :rock

[galactiboy]

Looks like the whip might be poseable... notice how its arched above his head. That could make for some great display options :rock

It's a beautiful sculpt, just something about the paint job looks a tad wrong - I think the stubble could do with being lighter, so it doesn't look so much like designer stubble.

Trevor, which photos did you use for reference? Did you use the one on the front of the Toys McCoy box and the one on the front of the Kenner box? I ask because they both show Ford with a neutral expression, like your sculpt.

If you've got time I'd love to hear more about what you aimed for with the sculpt, and how you came to do it like this instead of, say, 'sardonic smile Indy', 'panicking Indy' or 'determined Indy'.

And finally, the pants are too light!!!! Shouldn't they be browner?

[Mr. Fusion]

I think the pants are fine. My only issue now is how the bag strap looks. It doesn't look like it even has a buckle. Anyway, it's just a prototype. Other than that ... :chew:chew:chew

Did anyone else notice how the head looks slightly off kilter. Do you think they used the Hot Toys head and neck separation type thing for more movement?

[superdoug]

wow i can't wait for this figure!!! hopefully they will make the edition size large enough that it won't sell out too fast.

[thedarkknight]

Wow. This figure might be Sideshow's Best Work. I can't wait to pre-order this one.

[Darth Madden]

Looks pretty sweet to me and I am sure they will do an inclusive order since a lot of people have been waiting for this puppy for a LONG TIME.

Hey man! no problem. I don't mind explaining it.

This was actually the second attempt at Ford, my first was the Han Solo, so I was positive that it was going to be a painful sculpt. :) (I would sculpt Indy a hundred times over, though. My favorite character)

expression came mostly from the classic Raiders shots. the Peru ones directed expression more than any other. I don't have time to go fetch the photos right now, but there's one that's 3/4 view, very famous shot with a blurred jungle in the background.

I prefer Indy smiling/grinning/ looking a bit exhausted...but I felt Raiders Indy was expected to look serious, and I think the Sideshow guys agreed. There will be room to explore the other facets of his character later ;)

thanks!
Trev

[superdoug]

I would think so because I think it will be the first Sideshow figure for a lot of people and you wouldn't want to make new potential customers upset about missing out on it especially since they might stick around and buy more Indy stuff later on.

I'm still somewhat new here so I didn't know Trevor sculpted Indy but since I now know I'd just like to say great job!

I think I know the raiders shot your talking about.

[Darthrazz]

Hey Trev, first off congrats on a fantastic sculpt. Just curious, do you have to do your own research or are you provided with all the references for whatever character you are commissioned for?

[Darthrazz]

Anyone else thinking of getting another just to customize the Indy from the beginning of Temple of Doom in White Tux jacket?

[Seretur]

Trevor, I never buy 12" figures, but you're making me buy this one.

And incidentally, I've been rewatching the IJ movies since the trailer came out, so I couldn't be more pumped for a Raiders Indy! Guess I'll actually get two -- one to customise and play with, and one to just keep for keeps.

:joy

[Trevolver]

Thanks to everyone! It's a real joy and privilege to get to be a part of such a great Indiana Jones piece

Hey Trev, first off congrats on a fantastic sculpt. Just curious, do you have to do your own research or are you provided with all the references for whatever character you are commissioned for?

I'm provided with photos for a lot of projects. Indy wasn't one of them, unfortunately. I had to dig up all of my own stuff on that. I dunno if the licensor was holding back or what, I had collected hundreds of photos since I was an early teen, so I had a decent amount of stuff to study. the greatest aid for sculpture comes from dvd captures...and LOTS of 'em. :)

Seretur-enjoy playing with your first 12" action figure! :D

I'm actually thinking about getting a second to do the missing right sleeve/machete wielding ToD look.

[lawtonn22]

just looked at the high res cover thats linked on the sideshow home page,
And i'm pretty damn sure that the headsculpt is on a new style body.
Look at the head it's at a slight angle + look at the neck/torso joint - it's new i tells ya !.

[galactiboy]

I think you're right, I posted this cropped shot over in the other thread to show what looks like a new body :chew:chew

Oh my God that looks great! Now I'm probably wrong about this, but thst looks like a double jointed neck to me! The neck is on an angel but the head is facing us straight up... New Body maybe... Put that in the rumour file!

This baby Body is ordered! Hope he comes with a couple of sets of hands!

[IrishJedi]

Suck it, Toys McCoy.

I'm definitely getting more than one of these, because he MUST be weathered.

Actually thats why I posted the picture in the other thread, pretty sure its a new body. The neck joint doesn't have the straight across seam at the bottom and like you said the neck and head appear to be a different angles :chew:chew

WOW!!! Indy looks fantastic!!!

2008 12" Figure of the year!!!

You heard it here first, boys.

Trev

Hi Trev - thanks for taking the trouble to answer my questions. I too think the first SS Indy should look serious, but I would love to see some other expressions later - I love the murderous eyes and dangerous smile from the Cairo bar scene in Raiders after Marion dies. Once the classic Indy is done it would be great to see something a bit left field.

Last year when I was making my own Indy customs I relied heavily on screencaps from theraider.net. Speaking of which, I wouldn't want any sculpts to be quite as left field as this...
http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php?ImageUrl=http://www.theraider.net/films/todoom/gallery/dvdscreenshots/210.jpg

EDIT - I've just seen the high res version of the magazine cover, and I think I know why I'm not keen on the prototype paint apps. I looked at a load of Indy photos from Raiders and I think that it's not the stubble that's wrong it's the flesh tone - they're too light, whereas Indy in Raiders always had a very healthy tan. Does anyone else agree? Maybe (gulp) we need Indy to have the same kind of flesh colouring as the infamous suntanned Brosnan headsculpt.

[wookilar8]

I stopped getting doubles of 12" figures because I'm buying way more statues nowadays. But if ever their was a figure to stock up on, it's gotta be this one. Congrats Trev, the proto looks awesome and hopefully so will the production one.:monkey3

That's great, new body.


So now we've got Indy and Gandalf coming during Toy Fair, I wonder what they'll pull with Star Wars.


I wonder if the PF announcement during Toy Fair will be Indy.

An Armored figure from Star Wars would be great too!

[King Darkness]

http://www.secure.figures.com/tomart/catalog/images/afd163cover.jpg

FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

I am so getting this!! I wonder if this is gonna be on the new Sideshow body. It kinda looks to me like it may be on a different neck joint. Maybe something like how the Rambo heads are on the HT bodies, head on a ball jointed neck instead of the head and neck sculpted together.

[Brent72]

That is a GREAT looking 1/6 scale Indy figure. If the actual production piece looks that good SS has hit a grand slam to start off this line.

[The Josh]

Just showed my Dad the shot from the Mag. He says its the best piece he's seen from SS.

[The Craw]

that is one fine looking action figure man!! cant wait for this one. i need more stuff to ship. i got a sihtload for Q2 and not much for Q1 im starting to get the shakes. looking at these new products ain't helping.

[TheObsoleteMan]

Waiting for this one to ship is going to suuuuuuuck.

[Michael Crawford]

If the 12" figure looks this good...man, how good is the PF gonna be? :google

[Bardoon]

Ok..I'm sold...it'll be my first Sideshow figure.

That Buck might be exchanged for a HT TrueType though! :rock

[King Darkness]

Theres a damn good chance that isn't the buck body we all know so sell.
Looks like this is may be the first figure on the new Sideshow/Hot Toys body.

[AmanaMatt]

If the 12" figure looks this good...man, how good is the PF gonna be? :google

My lord, so true!

To all: do you think Sideshow will generic versions of its new body? I'd love to start swaping out the Bucks!

[Cocoboloboy]

Theres a damn good chance that isn't the buck body we all know so sell.
Looks like this is may be the first figure on the new Sideshow/Hot Toys body.

Looks like it's new. Very fitting time to debut it too since this figure might break all the records on ppo day.

[Anzik Hayes]

If the neck is different I don't know if you'll be able to swap.

Which would suck greatly.

[Cocoboloboy]

Head swapping between the old Buck and the new body might not be possible but at this point I really don't care. I just want the Buck to go away.

Same here, beside there is no f'n way in hell I am gonna go back and swap out 70+ bodies anyway. I am happy with my existing figures, but I would love for the old Buck body to stop being used for future figures.

Bye, Bye buck.:wave

I just hope that the Indiana Jones figures will get the same treatment as the Star Wars figures.

all i know is that if i dont have any room when indy comes i may have to wave my arm in a big sweeping motion and sweep all my other figures off the shelf and into the garbage. thats how much i want this guy.:lol

[AmanaMatt]

Any chance in hell of a Sean Connery likeness on a fig for this line?

[Entropy Chicken]

The shirt buttons are the wrong color, they should be the same as the shirt. The shirt itself looks too white though that could be the lighting. The gasmask bag has no snaps, the leather strap is too thin and has no buckle. The web belt looks khaki Last Crusade colored and not Raiders brown. The turks head knot and loop on the whip are too small and the metal gun belt slider looks a bit large. But they included the pant pleats so that's good.

The jacket looks nice though a bit pleathery with thick pocket flaps. The hat has the distinctive Raiders turn though the brim looks perhaps a tad narrow.

But overall it looks like a very nice figure. Can't wait to order it and make it perfect. Yay gloved hands! :zzwhip

[Cocoboloboy]

Is there any reason that it won't happen? I'm really looking forward to getting one.

Bring on Premium Format Indi!!!

I agree the jacket is a bit iffy in that photo, but I've learned my lesson about pre-judging Sideshow's prototype's. I have faith in Trev's sculpt and given how great Old Ben and Bespin Luke came out. I can't wait to see how Sideshow continues to refine and develop the line.

[Entropy Chicken]

The shirt bothers me a LOT more than the jacket which I think is pretty decent considering SS is trying to hit a certain price point. There is no reason the shirt should not be 100%.

I'm sure they chose that material for the bag strap so it would lay correctly, but it looks really bad and detracts from an otherwise steller figure.

[Murderofcrows71]

Well judging from the pic even if a little work needs to be done this is still the best Indiana Jones 1:6 scale hands down. Looks really good to me, the hat looks to be the first that has captured the look and the correct type of bash, the gloved hands look awesome. I noticed the bag strap is on the outside of the jacket though. Finally after years of customizing figures starting with and because of the lack of a decent Indy the circle is almost complete.
Here's hoping for a Well of Souls Marion to pose with him......actually I don't care, I'll buy any Indy figs if they are anywhere near the quality of this guy. Maybe we should start turning the heat up in here to see if we can get any hints on the next figure in this line? Or sculpts that may be in progress? :naughty

[Murderofcrows71]

I think alot of the issues with the jacket and outfit can be fixed with some aging and distressing. I have my own Indy clothes I wear and remember when I first got them they didn't look right, until I made them look worn and beat up. The clothes on the figure look too prestine, Indy was never seen in anything that didn't have the heck beat out of it. Maybe the crown on the hat could be a bit taller.

[Entropy Chicken]

Well judging from the pic even if a little work needs to be done this is still the best Indiana Jones 1:6 scale hands down. Looks really good to me, the hat looks to be the first that has captured the look and the correct type of bash...

Agreed. I just want them to fix the minor mistakes to make as accurate an Indy figure as possible.

The Indy hat look is all in the turn. The Raiders hat was bashed with about a 2" or more turn of the hat, that is not pointing forward when the creases are added. This gives the front and side brim curls the distinctive asymmetrical look. The other 3 films, including KotCS, do not have the turn (each has other differences such as a reverse taper), though the new film does return to the same look and bash of the Raiders hat. :rock

And yes it could do with a taller crown. This crown is a bit shorter like the Last Crusade look.

100% agreed. A little proper weathering (dirt, stains, scuffs, etc) and this thing will be PERFECT. And I don't mind having to do that myself custom, either. I'll be buying at least two of these.

This looks really great for a 12" scale piece, but I won't be getting one at this size. I can't wait to see the PF!!!

Hat specs, and really all other specs on the main page: http://www.indygear.com/gear/fedora.shtml

The more I look at it, from what little is pictured, the more I really dislike the shirt. I really hope Sideshow fixes it.

[Les Walker]

Just chiming in to the most fun thread I have ever read through, and the most exciting!
Even though I have had my own custom Indy for the better part of ten years now, THIS figure has me excited!
What's not to like? Trev's sculpt! The new body (and neck!!!!) and the gloved hands...and so much more! Details to be resolved...

And with the notion of the other versions to come....I am now in a quandry. Dammit! I've been able to focus on ALIENS and PREDATORS only for so long...and now, with the pressures of the new movie, and this line....I have to admit...it almost hurts!
But, it's a good kind of pain! I'll take it!

Damn, that's a cool figure!!!!!!! :rock

definately has the Raiders turn and the Cairo bash, it's how I have my main fedora I wear. Yeah I like how they went back to the Raiders look for the fedora, definately the best in the series. I'm thinking of using my tax money to have Steve make me one from KotCS like the ones he did for the film.

Am I the only one that is bothered by the shirt? I hope there are some jacketless pictures coming up soon, hopefully in the Tomart's.

The shirt bothers me too. I could live with the buttons being the wrong color, but the shirt is too white. Several places make an Indy shirt and they are all cream or off-white. It just doesn't look right. But, I'm sure Sideshow will fix that before it is in our hands.

[Customikey]

I like that he comes to us clean and classy. It'll make weathering him sooooo much more satisfying. I'm sure Josh is with me on this.:D

I'm not so sure. They'll only fix it if they know about it. :rolleyes:

[Brent72]

Just chiming in to the most fun thread I have ever read through, and the most exciting!
Even though I have had my own custom Indy for the better part of ten years now, THIS figure has me excited!
What's not to like? Trev's sculpt! The new body (and neck!!!!) and the gloved hands...and so much more! Details to be resolved...

And with the notion of the other versions to come....I am now in a quandry. Dammit! I've been able to focus on ALIENS and PREDATORS only for so long...and now, with the pressures of the new movie, and this line....I have to admit...it almost hurts!
But, it's a good kind of pain! I'll take it!

Damn, that's a cool figure!!!!!!! :rock


Well said, Les. :chew

[The Mike]

Any chance in hell of a Sean Connery likeness on a fig for this line?

Excellent chance. Indy's father is already being made in Kotos, showing that the licensing is there and secured. I think we'll definitely see him in the 1/6 line.

[Captain Britain]

I'm still waiting for my adventurebuilt. :monkey2 Soon to be a year.

Am I the only one that is bothered by the shirt? I hope there are some jacketless pictures coming up soon, hopefully in the Tomart's.

No, I'm bothered by the shirt, and in general there's a few things about it that don't look quite right - so I hope they improve upon them in the final product. Thanks for your detailed examination of the photo.

Plus, I don't want to do my own weathering! I want to buy a figure that already looks perfect!

I'm not whining or hating, I love the figure already, I just want it to be the greatest figure of all time. By the way, am I alone in thinking that the skin colour ont he face could do with being darker to suggest a tan? At the moment Indy looks like he works indoors all the time!

[Darren Carnall]

I can't even remember the details like the shirt on the real one... so I can't remember what the difference is, lol.

If it IS too light/clean/whatever... then a bit of paint, a bit of tea, a bit of coffee, a bit of sandpaper and the world will be all right again :rock

I might have have to order this.....

[Blackhole]

The only time I remember him wearing gloves in Raiders is the truck chase scene...correct me if I'm wrong...

What's the exclusive gonna be???

It is kind of early, considering h hasn't even been officially announced yet...

[doesitmatter]

He definitely wears gloves in the bar fight. Someone probably has a detailed list but that one I know for sure.

[lerath666]

the exclusive should be staples, to keep his hat on his head!!!:D

[jedibear]

http://www.secure.figures.com/tomart/catalog/images/afd163cover.jpg

This is the first thing from Sideshow that I've seen since Jabba that made me gasp when I saw it....WOW!

No nit-picks from me...(well, one....fingers crossed to breaking point that THIS one makes it through production on the same level as Old Ben)...

And a hope that we get TWO whips...one as shown (with a wire for posibility presumably) and a permenantly "coiled" one to hang on his belt...and that bag looks awfully bulky...is there an idol in there? :D

Seriously though...this looks fantastic!
When's the PPO again? :)

[Agent23]

Looks pretty cool. But, I'm waiting for p.f.

[Sachiel]

HIGH RES: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/prodblog/afd_163.jpg

The coat looks too pleathery. Probably needs to be weathered.

They have to change the strap for the bag. It's too fragile for something like that. Never liked when they used something like that for Aragorn's belt and Faramir's quiver. Plus it feels cheap.

Whip is nice and probably bendable. But I know I wasn't the only one hoping for a 'real' one. Maybe it does come with one.

Everything else looks really nice. And hopefully they change certain things for accuracy (if what I've read is correct). I don't know Indy's clothing in full detail.

New body! :rock

I would be we get two whips. I'm gonna go with a pose similar to what we see on that magazine.

So this is the "just got back from the cleaners" version. :)

[Cocoboloboy]

I don't need a real leather whip as long as this one looks like leather. The fact that it holds poses like in the picture is the big thing to me.

This'll be the first figure that I order multiples of on ppo day. Ther are just too many weathering possibilties not to.

[Buttmunch]

Tuesday Pre-order for Indy! :rock

[The Josh]

Appears it will be Tuesday. Will be the first chance for my phone it appears as I will be back at school.

[IrishJedi]

Appears it will be Tuesday. Will be the first chance for my phone it appears as I will be back at school.

I can confirm that PPO orders via the iPhone are a snap. :rock :rock :rock

And I'm personally glad it's Tuesday and not Monday, as that's the day I'm flying back to ATL.

[The Josh]

Yeah, from what you all have said should be easy it will just hopefully be at a time I can use my phone and not get into trouble. :lol

I'd rather it have been Monday as I won't have school that day.

[lerath666]

when did we find this out?

[The Josh]

when did we find this out?

New Adventure PO is stated on Tuesday. Seems to pretty much scream Indy.

[lerath666]

But where did the information come from was what i wanted to know. i seem to have missed something. :(

[galactiboy]

Its on the Sideshow Toy Fair page... but for some reason I can't get any day except for Sunday to display.

[The Craw]

ahhh. I are teh blind appearently
and a star wars pre order tommorow? I wonder what it is, and a PPO on friday too?

[EVILFACE]

But where did the information come from was what i wanted to know. i seem to have missed something. :(

You are a Sideshow fan on a sideshow board and are not on the sideshow webpage for info?????

tisk tisk.

[Batty]

If anyone misses out on the Sideshow version, there's always Hasbro.

[galactiboy]

So does he also come with the apparent rod shoved up his backside :lol

You think they'd at least try to get a decent pose out of him :rolleyes:

BTW, its Tomart, not Toymart... just had to add that.

[Cocoboloboy]

I actually like the look of this jacket more than SSC's.:o

[The Josh]

Yeah, looks like he really does have that shoved someplace.

[galactiboy]

I actually like this jacket more than SSC's.:o

I think you may have lost your mind :lol And don't worry I'm sure it would thoroughly dissapoint in hand.

[Cocoboloboy]

:lol
Yeah it probably would. I do like the leathery look of the material in that pic though.

[TheObsoleteMan]

So do I.

That Hasbro really doesn't look half bad at all for a mass market retail piece, someone just needs to pose the thing properly.

[lerath666]

hmmm... i think i just found the clothes for my logan custom :)

[IrishJedi]

So do I.

That Hasbro really doesn't look half bad at all for a mass market retail piece, someone just needs to pose the thing properly.

The prototype looked okay at SDCC last year, but it's still clearly a $20 mass-market piece.

And I disagree about the jacket. Though SSC's (on the proto anyway) is too clean and too smooth that can be easily fixed with some weathering. The Hasbro jacket appears to be too heavy and doesn't sit right, which is key because the "water treatment" won't work on pleather or leather.

[TheObsoleteMan]

I think weathering the Sideshow jacket is gonna be a problem because of that thin, smooth material. It doesn't look like it'll take much abuse.

[IrishJedi]

I've weathered that type of material before with no issues whatsoever. You just have to use the right weight of paper for the abrasions and shoe polish and weathering dirt for the rest. As soon as I get mine, I will do it and write up a tutorial.

That'd be cool Irish. I hope you make a believer out of me. It just doesn't look like you'll be able to get that cracked and worn leather look from the smooth vinyl type jacket though.

[Anzik Hayes]

I will also be getting a Hasbro version for my son to play with.

[Agent23]

Here comes the expected onslaught of Indiana Jones collectibles. I am pretty much holding out for the p.f.

I am hoping it is announced this weekend.

[drjedisith]

yeah lets see the PF!!!! :chew

[Murderofcrows71]

Fuller's Earth is the answer. For those that don't know fuller's earth is basically a movie make up used for weathering and dirtying up clothes for movie scenes. I've used a sand / light dirt colored fuller's earth for my Indy outfit for halloween for a few years and for any figure aging and it works great. The Sideshow Indy fig would look almost perfect with a light dusting of it on the jacket and hat especially.

[DarthNeil]

:rock:rock:rock

:bow:lecture I will be happy to sit at the feet of the master once you've got the proper recipe for weathering the INDY jacket (if it does indeed arrive so new looking).

Count me in. Thanks!

[Darth Madden]

Yeah, from what you all have said should be easy it will just hopefully be at a time I can use my phone and not get into trouble. :lol

I'd rather it have been Monday as I won't have school that day.

It does say pre-order not PPO so it may be inclusive to give everyone a chance. And if Gandalf is $90 then Indy probably won't be any less... ugh.

[galactiboy]

I still don't think he'll be that much coin, but we'll find out soon enough. I would like to at least get a idea of what time he'll be going up... todays totally caught me by surprise.

[Ultimate Weapon]

Yeah, knowing the time he's going up for pre-order would definitely be helpful. I've got a couple of classes on Tuesday, but luckily I've got most of the day free after 9:45. Good thing the university has wireless installed everywhere - I don't want to miss out on this figure so my laptop will be going everywhere with that day.

[King Darkness]

todays totally caught me by surprise.

Yeah, thats kinda strange to put the most wanted 12" LotR figure up for pre-order on a Sunday at 7:00am :confused:

[galactiboy]

Strange indeed, I would have been a bit bummed if I missed out on the exclusive... but with TBD I guess we'll be safe.

[EVILFACE]

Strange indeed, I would have been a bit bummed if I missed out on the exclusive... but with TBD I guess we'll be safe.

True, but the LOTR exclusives have been slow sellouts.

[King Darkness]

True, but the LOTR exclusives have been slow sellouts.

Thats a good point too. As good as this line is it has been a slow seller.

And the high price may turn some buyers away.

Only time will tell.

[The Josh]

If it goes up real early I might be able to get it ordered without any issues.

[drbrad1975]

http://www.secure.figures.com/tomart/catalog/images/afd163cover.jpg

That is the SS Indy that we have all been waiting for? The one that is to eclipse the Toys McCoy Indy? I know Trevor's sculpt is excellent but that pic makes Indy look bloated, and the jacket is awful....I will have to await final judgment until better pics arrive but right now....I am not impressed.

[The Josh]

My RP jumped up some more now I'm sitting @ $75 worth so this should be just about free.

[galactiboy]

Ah you guys and your insane amount of RP :lol

[The Josh]

Ah you guys and your insane amount of RP :lol

Insane CC debt too. :monkey2

[Buttmunch]

I'm going to tell you guys how good Indy looks. My brother is the ultimate Sideshow crtic. He thought Palpatine and Old Ben didn't even look like the actors. (:confused: I know) BUT, he is really likes Indy. He said depending on the price (:lol ) he would probably order him! He is also in the camp that thinks Gandalf's HS is good, but not great. He also likes the CW Obi-Wan sculpt, but doesn't care for the armor.

I think he is crazy too, but it at least proves Indy is Great!

So at least $80 for Indy then right? I mean GI Joe is STARTING at $80!

[IrishJedi]

Insane CC debt too. :monkey2

Not I. Cash-Only man here. :rock :rock :rock

(That does mean less money for lap dances, though :monkey2 )

:lol:lol:lol

[The Josh]

That sucks :monkey2

[doesitmatter]

So at least $80 for Indy then right? I mean GI Joe is STARTING at $80!

The press release said products starting at $70 but we'll see tomorrow.

If your brother ever wants to join a forum - Mediworld is just around the corner...

[Spiker]

Does noone have pics of the inside of this magazine ? Or are there no further pics of Indy in in ?

[galactiboy]

I don't know if the magazine is actually out yet...

[Buttmunch]

If your brother ever wants to join a forum - Mediworld is just around the corner...

:lol He is more into cars than anything else. He is a big Uni Monster fan so most of his Sideshow stuff comes from that area. He keeps wanting to cancel his PF Creature for car stuff, but I keep making him keep it. Heck, I can't afford it so the only way I'll see it is if HE gets it :lol

I sure hope Indy is only $70 (boy I never thought I'd say that about a 'normal' Sideshow figure) and not $80. But at the prices we have seen at Toy Fair, I'm doubtful.

I still can't believe the $40 difference between the Dead Babysitter and Gandalf! I guess license fee, costuming, and possible new body really are quite a bit of a figure's cost.

[Buttmunch]

I don't know if the magazine is actually out yet...

I've been looking since we saw the cover. Nothing yet. What days (Tuesdays?) do new magazines come out? So I don't think it is out yet.

[Sachiel]

I'm going to tell you guys how good Indy looks. My brother is the ultimate Sideshow crtic. He thought Palpatine and Old Ben didn't even look like the actors. (:confused: I know)

Holy ****. Did you kick his ass?

:emperor

[Buttmunch]

I would, but he would end up kicking mine. And, ironically, he is my younger brother :lol

But don't worry, I rag him about all of the cars he likes.

[The Josh]

Not seen the cover anyplace yet either.

[IrishJedi]

Not seen the cover anyplace yet either.

This issue should be in comic shops on Wednesday.

[The Josh]

Ah! Thank ya sir :)

[galactiboy]

And Indy should be ordered by then :rock

[Buttmunch]

This issue should be in comic shops on Wednesday.

So Wednesday is the day of new magazines?

Barnes and Noble and Borders both carry the magazine as well. I keep seeing last month's there.

[The Josh]

Will have to pick it up next weekend when I'm near a Borders.

[Billy Ray]

I checked Barnes and Noble today...no luck.

[Buttmunch]

I checked Barnes and Noble today...no luck.

Same here. I've been looking for almost two weeks now. I want to see what Tom has to say!

[IrishJedi]

Check your local comic shops. Mine had it in yesterday.

[chuck20]

:monkey5any new SS Indy pics?

[thedarkknight]

The one buy me only had enought copies for subscribers. So, haven't seen it yet. Maybe next week.

[Buttmunch]
