Looks like Diamond Select Toys has INDY as well...

IrishJedi · Feb 22, 2008

Official release

Under a new licensing agreement announced today, Indiana Jones fans and collectors will see several new lines of collectibles in 2008 from Diamond Select Toys. Partnering with Lucas Licensing, a division of Lucasfilm Ltd., DST will design and manufacture large-scale roto figures along with bust banks, figural banks and feature banks, among other categories based on the rich and diverse Indiana Jones franchise!

The Indiana Jones Ultimate Quarter Scale line will include characters from all four feature films. Each figure will include cloth outfits and accessories as well as an authentic sound clip from the massive Indiana Jones franchise. This line of hyper-detailed and super poseable figures will begin this summer with Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones.

Additionally, DST will expand into new categories including banks based on fan-favorite characters and scenes with a variety of features. New lines of bust-style banks and unarticulated figural banks will begin in 2008, blending detailed action-packed sculpts with traditional bank designs. A companion line of feature banks will include everything from sound and voice effects to coin-activated motion features such as whip attacks and booby-traps from the iconic films!

So, we'll see 1/4 scale "talking" INDY figures as well. But if the Luke and Obi-Wan shown are any indication... :monkey4

I've seen the obi-wan and didn't rate it - where did you see the Luke?

All that stuff sounds really cheap to me.

There was a picture of the Jedi Luke one in that thread in the "Star Wars" Forum. It was HORRID. Let me check...

Man total oversaturation of the market.

I like the boob gabbing action hands!

As expected.

I have no problem with it, especially since INDY hasn't been whored-out for 17 years straight now like SW has.

galactiboy · Feb 22, 2008

I saw these mentioned before, no interest. As like you said I'm sure they will be the same *cough-cough* quality as the Star Wars ones.

Thanks. That's hideous. I would be embarrassed to buy this.

doesitmatter · Feb 22, 2008

There will be an Indy. It's not ready and there were no photos allowed.

Don't judge by the Jedi Luke, They showed a Darth Maul, old Obi Wan and a Han in Hoth outfit that were beautiful.

Ya know, I used to think that the Medicom Luke looked like Eric Foreman, but I think DST actually did a better job of capturing Topher Grace's likeness :lol

I've seen a photo of the old Ben and that too was awful.

galactiboy · Feb 22, 2008

I think the clothes, body and hands looked good for Ben, but the sculpt had more of a Hasbro fell than High End. I think if the sculpts were better they'd be pretty nice, still an oddball scale for figures, but at least good looking. But with the the sculpts looking as they do I'm not impressed.

Collector Freak · Feb 22, 2008

You'd think that they'd put out amazing sculpts for a line that's going to have difficulty penetrating a crowded market.

That's a very good point.

EVILFACE · Feb 22, 2008

But a 18" Indy figure would be kinda neat.

If it's done well with a nice sculpt I'd definitely consider getting one... especially at the $75 price point.

Not holding my breath, though.

The Mike · Feb 22, 2008

I'm really surprised at how thin LFL is laying the licenses now.....even in Star Wars's hayday they only allowed one company to make one scale of a particular item....now it seems that they are allowing a ton of different companies to make the same thing.

Darklord Dave · Feb 22, 2008

I don't really see this scale as posable. And the same price as the 1/6th version? I'm wondering who they think they're market is. At that price they'll have to sell twice as many units as SSC does in 1/6.

Looks like Diamond Select Toys has INDY as well...
