Just noticed some pics of the first in a set of 4 dioramas planned by Kotobukiya for all the Indy films:

Looks rather nice to me. The couple of Star Wars Koto's I have are decent. Was also contemplating getting the new SW Bounty Hunter set with new Vader. If they can get Harrison's face right (the Koto Han was an anime enema), I am down for at least this one.

Bit on the busy side for me... fun, but not really something I'd want.

I saw this posted before... I don't care for it. I think it's too busy looking too. Indy and the boulder alone would be cool.

I respect your opinions, but I never really "gotten" people complaining about action scene based items being too "busy" - to me, that's the entire point. Plus, this is Japanese in origin so, it's kinda their thing. Take the Final Fantasy VII Knights of the Round Summon mini statue:

All 13 Knights in a 7 inch statue (I have this and it's an amazing piece ... so detailed for such a small piece). Back on topic, other than the figure to the left (corpse or statue?), I like the entire design. If I can find it sub-100 dollars on Evilbay, I am going to pick it up.

Pictures do not do this justice. In three dimensions it looks amazing!

Yeah, but all those knights could make sense together. Whereas this is all from the same sequence... but different scenes and too me is more comical than cool. But I could see the idea, because something like this as a life-sized theater display would be very impressive. Just not so much to me as a smaller piece.

Also having the base look like a Grail is a bit too much like Last Crusade.

Looks amazing to me in 2d, how much is it?

Are we talking about Indy or the Knights? Indy will be in the 90 to 100 range when released depending on retailer.

Knights of the Round was released last Summer and sold for between 20 and 30 bucks. Not sure where you can find it know. If anyone knows of a place, LMK as my cousin wants one - and he isn't getting mine LOL. That one and Yojimbo from FFXII are amazing for such small scale.
