YES!!!


:eek

:bow :bow :bow

[Karma]

Okay, Sideshow, any time now...

SHOW US!!!

:tap :tap :tap :tap :tap

sdcc methinks :rolleyes:

[IrishJedi]

I honestly don't think they'll wait that long to unveil the first PF. May, at the latest is my guess.

But I wanna see something official NOW. :tap

[The Mike]

SDCC?? If it isn't shown off until then in the beginning of Q3 then it won"t hit until Q1 at thr earliest. I'd be seriously surprised if they waited that long.....what are the odds its not from Raiders??

[Karma]

I honestly don't think they'll wait that long to unveil the first PF. May, at the latest is my guess.

But I wanna see something official NOW. :tap

well they're announcing the sdcc exclusives in may so they might do an indy variant bust for sdcc exclusive

[IrishJedi]

The first PF is the RAIDERS Indy, unless plans have changed. But that is what I was told as far back as SDCC last year. Also, note that the Fertility Idol is one of the accessories. It's definitely from RAIDERS.

[IrishJedi]

well they're announcing the sdcc exclusives in may so they might do an indy variant bust for sdcc exclusive

You just brought up something many of us have actually forgotten about: SSC is also working on 1:1 Indy Bust. Perhaps THAT will be the big Indy item they will unveil at SDCC. But I really think we'll see the PF long before then, and it will probably be up for pre-order well before SDCC as well.

[The Josh]

Yeah, I expect the PF to go up closer to the movie not SDCC. Now, I could see them doing a SDCC Ex Indy 1:6th which would be cool.

[creature4000]

Man I want the PF more then the 12" fig... if I like the face sculpt. :monkey3

[dunedain]

I've been looking forward to this piece for a very long time.

[Collector Freak]

This better not suck. This is one PF that I've been waiting forever for. That and a Dr. McCoy Trek PF, but I know that one's never coming.

[The Josh]

This better not suck. This is one PF that I've been waiting forever for. That and a Dr. McCoy Trek PF, but I know that one's never coming.

You and I both know that it won't matter how good it is you won't like it. :lol

[DarthNeil]

This better not suck. This is one PF that I've been waiting forever for. That and a Dr. McCoy Trek PF, but I know that one's never coming.

"Dammit Jim, I'm a whiner-- not a collector."

:rotfl:monkey3

[Trevolver]

This better not suck. This is one PF that I've been waiting forever for. That and a Dr. McCoy Trek PF, but I know that one's never coming.

I very much doubt you're going to like it. ;)

Trev

[Agent0028]

I hope that this comes out before the 12" ships so I can see which one I would rather have. Really tough call, odds are I'll break down and get both.

[IrishJedi]

Maybe this should be renamed "Countdown To The Next Collector Freak Meltdown Against Sideshow" Thread. :lol

[galactiboy]

You just brought up something many of us have actually forgotten about: SSC is also working on 1:1 Indy Bust. Perhaps THAT will be the big Indy item they will unveil at SDCC. But I really think we'll see the PF long before then, and it will probably be up for pre-order well before SDCC as well.

Is the Indy bust going to be the one we've seen for awhile... can't remember the sculptor, or something completely new?

Also, I'm surprised we haven't seen the PF yet... during the Toy Fair Chat they all but said he was right around the corner.

[IrishJedi]

Is the Indy bust going to be the one we've seen for awhile... can't remember the sculptor, or something completely new?

You're referring to the Howard S. Studios bust. The Sideshow release will almost certainly be a completely separate and new sculpt... especially since the unpainted Howard S. one was recently sold on eBay.

Also, I'm surprised we haven't seen the PF yet... during the Toy Fair Chat they all but said he was right around the corner.

Exactly. I expect it any time now. Hence this thread. Every Newsletter that is released or every new Production Blog has me hoping...

[galactiboy]

You're referring to the Howard S. Studios bust.
.

Cool, thats the one. Thanks for the clarification.

[DarthNeil]

I very much doubt you're going to like it. ;)

Trev

:rotfl

I can't wait for a double-whammy... An Indy PF from RAIDERS and an Indy PF from DOOM! I've made the call--

An Indy from the opening action scene of RAIDERS (not as boring as this but it was the first one I found after a quick google)

http://www.dvdtown.com/images/displayimage.php?id=2399

AND an Indy from the end of DOOM

http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/movies/i/indiana_jones/281x211.jpg

or

http://www.dreamagic.com/roger/indianaJonesTempleDoom.gif

Two simultaneous announcements-- now wouldn't they look awesome on either side of a home theatre?:D

[bwayne]

I have absolutely no room for this, but this is a must order for me.

[Agent23]

As I have been saying all along. I expect to see the p.f. right around May 22. Maybe a week or so earlier to celebrate the new movie.

I hope its before that thou.

[choopie]

I agree. I expect this to come out no later than the film release, but I'm praying that it's earlier than that.

[IrishJedi]

I agree. I expect this to come out no later than the film release, but I'm praying that it's earlier than that.

You mean be announced and go up for order before the movie not actually released, right? Because at this point the earliest we would possibly see this actually ship is Q3 but more than likely Q4.

But, again... anytime now... :tap

[choopie]

Oh yeah, I meant to be announced for a pre-order. We won't have this piece in-hand until 3rd or 4th quarter. I can wait, but I just want to pre-order it and get it out of the way.

[zoid2323]

OK the pre-order by May sounds about right.:D

[IrishJedi]

I honestly think we will see it (and have a PPO) within the next month, maybe sooner.

[fantasymaker]

hey irish , I do not think too long to make sideshow statue pf , i enjoy seeing the hands of martin canale or andy bergholtz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:naughty:joy:naughty:joy

[IrishJedi]

If I'm not mistaken, Trevor Grove may have sculpted the Indy PF as well (for some reason, I can't recall).

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Trevor.

[fantasymaker]

certainly have reason on this , I hope that the artist who performed the pf make a great beauty, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl

[Trevolver]

If I'm not mistaken, Trevor Grove may have sculpted the Indy PF as well (for some reason, I can't recall).

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Trevor.

I can neither confirm nor deny....;)
Trev

[Agent23]

Ok, then can you tell us when its gonna be announced at least?

:lol

[DarthNeil]

And the pose...

And the exclusive...

And the next PF...


TELL TELL TELL!






:monkey3:D

[zoid2323]

Hopefully we'll hear something soon.:monkey2

[Andy Bergholtz]

I can neither confirm nor deny....;)
Trev

Then I will! Muahahahah! :)

This grail of grails was indeed spawned from the mighty golden hands of Trevor the Great. You'll all soon bask in it's glory and forget about every other Indy collectible ever created.

Cinemaquette who?

Well, let's just say that he's one of the best working sculptors out there and knows what he's talking about. :monkey3

Andy isn't on Sideshow's payroll. That's probably why he felt free to say it was Trev's work.

:lol Wrong again.

But why does he speak for Trev?
He "speaks for Trev" because Trevor can't as he's the one who IS currently working for Sideshow and understandably must remain mum on all SSC projects until they are officially announced.

[chavez553]

Andy isn't on Sideshow's payroll. That's probably why he felt free to say it was Trev's work.

Is Trev aloud to say it's his work?

[IrishJedi]

Is Trev aloud to say it's his work?

Often times you work under NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and are not allowed to say anything officially about upcoming products until a certain date (and sometimes beyond that). This is standard practice throughout the industry, particularly when dealing with big-ticket licensed items.

[chavez553]

:lol Wrong again.


He "speaks for Trev" because Trevor can't as he's the one who IS currently working for Sideshow and understandably must remain mum on all SSC projects until they are officially announced.

Well,if Trev is not aloud to speak on the matter,then why is Andy?

[Reinhardt]

the anticipation is killing me!!!

[Entropy Chicken]

:lol Wrong again.

:lecture.

Plus great artists recognize other great talent and Andy has always been quick to point out Trev's amazing work. :rock

[IrishJedi]

Well,if Trev is not aloud to speak on the matter,then why is Andy?

Because Andy doesn't work for Sideshow and can't get spanked directly like Trevor can? :lol

[IrishJedi]

the anticipation is killing me!!!

Agreed!!!

:tap :tap :tap :tap :tap :tap

[Batty]

What was the question? :lol

[chavez553]

Because Andy doesn't work for Sideshow and can't get spanked directly like Trevor can? :lol

I know this a lot questions but..:lol If Trev can't reveal anything on what he's working on,then how the hell does Andy know? :D

[Trevolver]

Andy Bergholtz.......huh, never heard of him.

:D hahahaha! seriously though....it makes a sculptor feel on top of the world to get the Bergholtz stamp of approval.

can't wait for this one to be unveiled......

Oh and BTW.. Sorry Andy,but you we're being kind of a stalker :o:D

Andy has super-secret spy equipment (including cameras with audio ability) hidden at Sideshow headquarters as well as the home of every working sculptor.

There. I said it. (Sorry Andy) :monkey3

Well I'll bet he got one heck of a show from that thread Shai posted awhile back. :lol

Wonder what the odds are that Sideshow will give us a preview tonight...

[Andy Bergholtz]

:) Relax.... I'm not giving away any sensitive info (at least I don't think I am)... Trev was just being modest, I think he's allowed to comment on what pieces he's worked on as long as he's not announcing a new product by doing so (that privelage is exclusive to Sideshow's uber staff). I just take delight in being his No. 1 fan. :D

And yes, I'm a Trevor Grove stalker and proud of it. I make no apologies. I keep trying to get him to adopt me but evidently he finds the notion a little creepy. I just had matching cowboy hats embroidered with our initials (by the way Trev, I keep getting your hat back in the mail with "Return to Sender" stamped in bold on the package.... There's obviously some kind of problem with your post office, I'll give 'em a call). Trevor is a bright, shining, golden God. He completes me.

But how do you really feel?

[Batty]

You're right, Andy...Trev always seems very modest. He's a fantastic artist just like yourself. When are you coming back to Sideshow? :monkey3



I noticed you didn't deny the spy equipment hidden in the Hulk PFs.

Andy, your awesome. You need to come back home to Sideshow.

uuuuugh, don't get me wrong, Andy...the hat was charming, elastic chin string and all...but it was....the wrong size.

It was the a**less chaps that creeped me out.............................

anyway, yes, I did get to work on the Indy PF, and it was the most exciting and one of the most difficult 'jobs' I've ever had the privilege to be a part of. I cannot wait for it to be finished and shown!

:chew :joy :banana :chew :joy :banana

[Darth Madden]

Could be very cool. Kind of a surprise they go with 2 Indy's in a row to kick off the line.

[The Mike]

^^^^ Yeah!!! :rock

[Agent0028]

Awesome! I can't wait to see all of it. When does Toyfare come out?

[Batty]

:clap :clap :clap

[woodsy]

Awesome! I can't wait to see all of it. When does Toyfare come out?

Out on April 9th

[Mesa]

I was hoping for a more dynamic pose with the whip, but I'm sure I'll like whatever they put out.

[Agent0028]

Only 6 days. :woo

[IrishJedi]

Subscribers to Toyfare often get the issues in the mail a day or two before they hit newsstands. I hope this one comes in early! Can't wait! :rock

[Batty]

The idol is going to be a nice exclusive.

[Agent0028]

Even better! :woo

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, a couple of times I even got mine in the mail on the Saturday before the Wednesday release. Doubt I'll be that lucky this time, though. If it does happen to come in, you bet your butt I'll be scanning it immediately.

[Darth Madden]

Subscribers to Toyfare often get the issues in the mail a day or two before they hit newsstands. I hope this one comes in early! Can't wait! :rock

I normaly get mine 1-2 days early so that will be cool.

[IrishJedi]

I normaly get mine 1-2 days early so that will be cool.

Okay, you're on scanning duty too. :lol

Obviously, SOMEONE will get this before Wednesday and pics will be online.

[Darth Madden]

Okay, you're on scanning duty too. :lol

Obviously, SOMEONE will get this before Wednesday and pics will be online.

I'll do my best. :zzwhip

[Wor-Gar]

Cool... :rock

[Agent0028]

The idol will be a cool exclusive, depending on the pose it may not be a must have exclusive though. For me at least, it may be must have for others regardless of the pose.

[IrishJedi]

And even though we already knew this was going to be a RAIDERS Indy it's worth noting that the web belt and color of the pants and shirt confirm it. :rock

[King Darkness]

Looks like the pose is gonna be pretty basic, but I cant wait to see it.

[Batty]

I'll be ordering. With Trev's sculpt there's no way I can pass it up.

[King Darkness]

This may be my 1st non-horror PF.

[oaktown2000]

Looks like the pose is gonna be pretty basic, but I cant wait to see it.



I hope it is. I prefer the static, museum type poses rather then the action ones.

Either way....this could be shown next week with him sitting on a toilet...and I'll still order it :p

[Shai Hulud]

Will the likeness be better than the 12'' since its the same sculptor..cant wait to see...

[Bardoon]

I'll be getting it and it'll be my first PF! :rock

[IrishJedi]

If the pose is something like this (but obviously the ROTLA Indy) I think it'll be rather ass-kicking:

http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2007/12/10/indiana-jones-crystal-skull.jpg

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/placed/040308indypf09_01.jpg

[Bardoon]

Oh yeah, that'd be a sweet pose!!

Though I also would've liked to have seen Sideshow try to copy the dynamic pose of the Cinemaquette. Or at least a whip swinging one...

[galactiboy]

Thats about the pose I was figure on from the image... so far he looks cool. Interesting that he'll be on the cover of ToyFare, for the longest time (about 2-3years) they never mentioned Sideshow. Then awhile back they started covering them again.

[Agent23]

Looks real good so far. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of it next week.

Count me in.

[Wor-Gar]

This may be my 1st non-horror PF.

If I was ever to get a PF, this could be the one.

I hate to open those flood gates...

[masterside]

Oh Yes! :joy Thank you Sideshow for this preview :chew

[Agent0028]

Yeah, they're a nasty pair of flood gates to open. I would have so much more display space if I stuck to the 12" figures.

[IrishJedi]

I'm thinking he'll be holding the gun in his right hand. So, kinda like this (but 26 years younger):

http://www.indianajones.com/site/media/photos/large/991130-photo-168.jpg

That'll work, too.

:rock

[The Josh]

I'm in 4 one. Hopefully next week :)

[Mesa]

I hope it is. I prefer the static, museum type poses rather then the action ones.

Either way....this could be shown next week with him sitting on a toilet...and I'll still order it :p


If it's Indy taking a dump, toilet included as the base, I'm definately getting it.

[blue_rogue]

If the pose is something like this (but obviously the ROTLA Indy) I think it'll be rather ass-kicking:

http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2007/12/10/indiana-jones-crystal-skull.jpg

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/placed/040308indypf09_01.jpg

Works for me!

:banana :chew :elefant

[waterfold]

This will be glorious. If the likeness is as good as the Aragorn PF is, I might have to buy some gentle giant stuff to break in a sacrificial honor to Indy.

[Bardoon]

Thats about the pose I was figure on from the image... so far he looks cool. Interesting that he'll be on the cover of ToyFare, for the longest time (about 2-3years) they never mentioned Sideshow. Then awhile back they started covering them again.

Toy/Statue/High-End Collecting is at an all-time high in popularity at this time. Aside from toys,statues,etc. being accessible from multiple outlets, they also are becoming more availible in paints that look great from the factory. Not to mention that more companies are doing them.

The fanbase for these licensed collectibles has also grown up...instead of the little Indy figures they had as a kid, they instead want the 12'' high-end figure or a statue of their hero. The market has grown just like their customers and ToyFare sees that as well.

[darthviper107]

I'm really excited. It's going to be awesome. And just to point out--what little you can see of his jacket looks really good.

[tomandshell]

Hooray! I was hoping it would be revealed by Comic Con, and now it will be even sooner. Sounds good to me!

[The Mike]

I'll be ordering. This is my number one most wanted SSC item right now. I'll cancel just about anything to move this in front

[galactiboy]

Toy/Statue/High-End Collecting is at an all-time high in popularity at this time. Aside from toys,statues,etc. being accessible from multiple outlets, they also are becoming more availible in paints that look great from the factory. Not to mention that more companies are doing them.

The fanbase for these licensed collectibles has also grown up...instead of the little Indy figures they had as a kid, they instead want the 12'' high-end figure or a statue of their hero. The market has grown just like their customers and ToyFare sees that as well.

I'd grant that, but before that they used to cover Sideshow and other 1/6 companies... then all of the sudden the stopped. And then 2 or so years later they picked back up again. Actually when they weren't covering them was probably when 1/6 stuff was most readily available.

BTW, I may have missed it, but is this for sure from Raiders... or could it be from one of the films?

[galactiboy]

If I was ever to get a PF, this could be the one.

I hate to open those flood gates...

Do you not have any PFs? I just ordered my first (hoping only) PF a couple weeks ago.

[Wor-Gar]

Do you not have any PFs? I just ordered my first (hoping only) PF a couple weeks ago.

Nope. Just a ^^^^ load of 1/6th.

That may change with this.

[galactiboy]

I've got the Darkness PF on the way... I'm hoping its not like Ruffles.

[Entropy Chicken]

BTW, I may have missed it, but is this for sure from Raiders... or could it be from one of the films?

It's from Raiders. Note the brown Radiers accurate web belt (which I hope they'll fix on the 12" figure). He had a khaki one in the other films.

[uscmhicks]

This is gonna kick ass !! Awesome !! :rock

:chew :joy :banana :chew :joy :banana

OMG !! I am hopping the day it goes on PREO I am not working so I can get the EXCLUSIVE.

[Trevolver]

DAMN! that looks cool. first time seeing this, guys, so I'm quite excited, myself. the clothing looks sensational!

I hope you guys like the portrait when it's shown. It's a very subjective thing, so I'm expecting mixed reactions. :) So far this piece looks like it's going to be every bit as successful as I had hoped! *fingers crossed*

Trev

[The Mike]

Trevor, was the pose of the PF done after a specific scene in Raiders? or was it done in a tribute fashion where its something created in honor of but not exactly from kind of deals?

[Karma]

"details to be revealed soon"


doesn't sound like pre-order is next week

[Trevolver]

I would consider it reminiscent of what you're all familiar with, but not specific by any means. a tribute is a nice way to put it. I certainly felt like I was making one helluva cool tribute at the time, or I at least went in with that sensibility. :) I cared very very much for this...I hope it shows!

thanks!
Trev

Trev

Hey Trev. Are you happy with the sculpt? How does it stack up to your 1/6 th Indy or Han portrait in your eyes?

I'm very eager to see what the stance is. How was it arrived at? Is it something you and the SS brass talked about or did they tell you what stance they wanted?

I'm sure this will be a phenomenal work of art when we finally see it and get it in our hands. Can't wait! http://raven.theraider.net/images/smilies/whip.gif

[Trevolver]

Ultimately its Sideshow's piece, so their direction is followed as closely as possible. But A sculptor gets to play around and bring their own input to the table, which is really nice for us. I can hardly function without art direction... I can't make up my own mind when I'm given too much free reign.

This is my best attempt at Harrison. The only portrait I've done of him so far that I've been happy with the end result. Not 100% happy, but....how could I ever be 100% happy with my work?! :) hehheh! It's sort of the culmination of my years of fandom... Or at least, so I feel.

bring it on!
Trev

[Entropy Chicken]

Awesome to hear! :rock
Glad you're happy with him. Artists are their own worst critics.

I'm so excited! Sideshow keeps ramping up the anticipation with these hints and such, it's killing me.
I hope pics are finally coming this month. http://raven.theraider.net/images/smilies/whip.gif

[Darklord Dave]

Why are you all assuming the idol is part of the exclusive?

[Seretur]

Because Trev is my idol. :)

[creature4000]

either way the exclusive is mine... unless the face is off, then I'll just keep the 12" Indy!

[IrishJedi]

Why are you all assuming the idol is part of the exclusive?

Good point. The idol could be standard and he exclusive something else.

[The Josh]

Well, Trev if this Indy is anything like the 1:6th or the sketch card I have then this is simply a can't miss item. The haters should be a very small group that can easily be drowned out by those that will love this piece. I hope it goes up next week so I can jump on and snag one.

[Reinhardt]

Why are you all assuming the idol is part of the exclusive?

my memory is that there was a video that was shown on youtube that was talking about sideshow collectibles. in it, one of the sculptors was putting the finishing touches on the idol and mentioned that it was for the PF exclusive.

but my memory is vague, and i can't find the video now. someone posted it on the boards a while back.

oh, and by the way, the preview looks awesome!!!!!!!

[Khev]

I wonder if SS will do a Temple of Doom Indy PF. For some reason I might actually prefer to have a TOD PF of him with a torn sleeve and holding a machete.

[DarthNeil]

:lol Can't wait-- I'm very anxious for this one and it'll have a place of prominance in my collection.

[DarthNeil]

I wonder if SS will do a Temple of Doom Indy PF. For some reason I might actually prefer to have a TOD PF of him with a torn sleeve and holding a machete.

I'll get that one too...
ToD has a special place in my heart as I remember seeing that one while we were living in Europe and even though it's very different than RAIDERS I've always really loved it to the point of almost putting it at the same level.

[choopie]

From what is revealed so far, it looks fantastic..all the way down to the stitching and slight weathering of the jacket. I know I'm going to love this piece, tribute or scene specific...doesn't matter. It's my most anticipated PF of the year. My favorite movie character represented in my favorite collectibles line. Honestly, it's like a dream come true.

Please, please Sideshow, put this up for pre-order next week.

[The Josh]

Please, please Sideshow, put this up for pre-order next week.

What she said. :banana

[IrishJedi]

I'll be pretty darn surprised if this is not up for Pre-order in next week's Newsletter... especially since it will be officially unveiled on the cover of Toyfare, which will be showing up in subscribers' mailboxes any day now.

CANN'T FRIGG'AN WAIT!!!

[SSC_Nerd]

Maybe when they say the details will be revealed soon, they mean that they'll actually be putting pictures and stuff in the production blog soon, before the preorder next week (if it is next week).

[doesitmatter]

I'll have to see the whole thing before I decide but I'm close to ordering this. It will be my first PF too (ordered Doom and cancelled him).

I'm really curious but since I've already ordered the Medicom and the SSC this has to be amazing for me to get a third high-priced Indy.

[IrishJedi]

I just hope TF hits newstands like this weekend.

I doubt it will hit the newsstands this weekend (though I suppose a few stores may sporadically get it in and put it out early). The Wizard publications are usually pretty solid on debuting on a specific Wednesday each month at comic shops first.

HOWEVER... subscribers' copies are usually mailed in advance so that we receive them around the same date. Often that means they come in a few days early. So chances are someone will get their copy in the mail soon (perhaps as early as today or tomorrow) and scans will appear online.

In other words, I'd be pretty surprised if we have to wait until Wednesday to see this. I'll definitely be checking my mailbox for it between now and Wednesday. :joy

[The Josh]

Yeah, I don't figure to find it this weekend but I may still stop in Border to check.

[ProgMatinee]

If the PF looks especially awesome, I may drop the 1/6 and make the PF my only INDY piece.

It used to be that you could get 5-6 12" for the price of a PF, so I'd go the 12" route.

Things have changes and owning 1 PF might be more desirable than the 4 12"s you can get these days.

[Vince]

I would certainly drop the Medicom and go Sideshow all the way

[IronFingaz]

This will be mine:rock:rock:rock:rock:rock

I think i might cancel the 12 inch. I know i could use the $$$.

[ProgMatinee]

I would certainly drop the Medicom and go Sideshow all the way

I agree with that. 2 $150 medicom pieces=$300 or Indy PF=$350 (guessing), I'd take the PF any day.

As it is, I'm not touching the Medicoms at all at that price. Its just whether I want to keep the 12" SSC line or do PF.

There is something to say about collecting the 12"ers though in that we are bound to get a good selection of characters that PF won't.

[Vince]

I know, that's why I collect more and more 12" figures ans less PF in some lines.

[General Kenobi]

I know, that's why I collect more and more 12" figures ans less PF in some lines.

I'm actually going the other way. I am about to sell off nearly all of my 12" figures -with a couple exceptions- and stick with the PF line. I'll post the links to the auctions when I get them up. Registered Sideshow Freaks will get free shipping in the lower 48 states.

I have gone that route in the past.
Started buying all kinds of PF, but they take a lot of space (I owned over 20 PF's) and you have much more diversity in the 12" lines.

I like to fill a Detolf with some 12"s and a top a nice PF or Life-Size bust.

[chapuchi]

Depending on how this will look, this could be possibly my first PF from SS (as I'm relatively exclusive to purchasing 12" figures)

[olvidadero]

Wow, at last! It hasn't been a long long time since they announced the Indy line, but it sure has felt like a long time until we finally have gotten confirmation of the first PF statue! I'm pre-ordering the exclusive (if the extra accesory is worth it). After that, I gess I'll stick with eBay and get the regular versions of the rest of the line. Can't wait to see more of the statue, I bet it's awesome.

[lcummins]

...As it is, I'm not touching the Medicoms at all at that price...

Sideshow retailers have them for only $135, which is close to what a lot of people were hoping for! I would hurry before they sell out if you are going to order from a retailer however.

[Captain Britain]

Personally I'm not interested in PF figures, not even of Indy (and I'm a pretty big Indy collector from the Kenner line onwards). I just prefer toys, stuff I can pick up and pose. So it's actually quite nice to know something expensive is being produced that I don't want!

But I know a lot of people have been waiting for this, so I'm pleased for all of them. I hope for their sake the sculpt is awesome!

[Agent0028]

I think the sculpt will be if Trev likes it more than his 12" one. That's really making me lean towards getting the PF over the 12". Although it seems that sometimes how good a sculpt is can be very subjective.

[Khev]

In today's USA Today George Lucas talks about the soon to be unveiled Indy PF and he says, "People who expect it to be the second coming of Captain America are going to be extremely disappointed." Trevor Grove was instructed to "just have fun" when sculpting the piece but he doesn't think the piece will sell out. "This will probably be available for second chance, just like the Dr. Doom PF was. People hate me, and they hate Sideshow Collectibles. But I'm really proud of this piece."

:monkey1

I was a big fan of the Obi Wan also. Do you think they will make a PF of Obi Wan from EP III? Would you be interested in it? Are you going to buy the PF Anakin? Too many questions? I'll stop.

[The Josh]

I think I'd rather not have Indy. :lol

[General Kenobi]

Here's my comment on the Sideshow site:
I’m in and can’t wait to get this one in hand. But I have to agree on the sculpt. The Han Solo PF was disappointing. The prototype photo on the box was great and I sure would have loved to own one of those, but the mass produced product really missed the mark. To tell you the truth, when I took it out of the box I was really disappointed. I hope this one delivers.

[Lord Aykroyd]

I was a big fan of the Obi Wan also. Do you think they will make a PF of Obi Wan from EP III? Would you be interested in it? Are you going to buy the PF Anakin? Too many questions? I'll stop.

Personally, Im limiting myself to EPIV-VI PFs only (it helps my wallet :monkey1) - well in the Star Wars line at least
I feel like an EpI Obiwan is far more likely in the near future (to go with Maul).

If you thought those 12" were high-priced, just wait till you see this price tag. I'm guessing around $349

[Entropy Chicken]

$349 seems about right to me too. I just hope the exclusive is something cooler than the torch and dart the 12" comes with.

[galactiboy]

I'm gonna guess $275... seems to be what the human style figures go for. While the license is more expensive, I don't think the outfit is vastly more complicated than the recent Wayne PF.

[Lord Aykroyd]

I think you're forgetting jacket and hat (way more complicated than any Star Wars PF - especially if done with leather and a real fabric hat). Along with the licensing cost its going to make this baby expensive...

EDIT - sorry that wasn't clear --- you can only compare this to SW since the licensing costs will be similar

[tomandshell]

$349 seems about right to me too. I just hope the exclusive is something cooler than the torch and dart the 12" comes with.

I thought the exclusive was a 1:4 scale golden idol. Seems like it was referenced in a recent interview or podcast, etc.

[choopie]

I would be very surprised if this was $275. My guess is minimum $300, but more like $350.

[tomandshell]

Cinemaquette didn't give Captain Jack his trademark hat, right? Maybe Sideshow will make the same mistake with Indy.

;)

[Batty]

Right. It was shown in the Christmas video.

I didn't realize that Anakin was $300... so I guess he could be that much. But again, Wayne has a leather Jacket and googles, so I think there are some similarities there in terms of complexity.

I'm still gonna guess $275, but its okay since I'm not getting him anyway :lol

[galactiboy]

Right. It was shown in the Christmas video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLgAbPjlVP0

Never saw that video before... does make it look like an Idol will at least be included.

[darthviper107]

I wonder if the larger size will allow for a removable hat?

[oaktown2000]

I agree with those who say around the $350 range. I figure Sideshow knows it has a hit on it's hands and is going to charge accordingly.

[ProgMatinee]

Will there be an exclusive?

[tomandshell]

I am also going to guess around $325-350. Bot not because Sideshow just thinks they can get away with it--I think that the licensing costs, quality of the figure and materials used, R&D, etc. will all work together to justify the price.

Absolutely :lecture

Ok, so Ill ask the next obvious question...

Do the Indy PF's go up in value on the secondary market (a la MARVEL) or are they going to fare closer to STAR WARS PFs?

Somebody had to ask it :rolleyes:

I'd agree with that. Its dealing with LFL so ya know that will help the cost be high.

[tomandshell]

Here's a shot of the fertility idol being sculpted before our very eyes:

http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/1877/screenshot032xg6.png

[Entropy Chicken]

Thanks for posting that pic Tom. So we'll get an idol, which seemed like a natural choice, but will it be the exclusive.... hmmm.

[tomandshell]

The video didn't specify that it was the exclusive accessory, but it sure seems to me like a pretty good possibility.

[Batty]

Have any PFs come with an accessory that wasn't an exclusive?

[Entropy Chicken]

I really hope that it is the exclusive, as it would be a very cool one. But if it is where would the idol sit? Maybe the pedestal as the exclusive? A separate idol grasping hand for Indy?

[tomandshell]

Not that I can think of, but maybe the idol is just part of a more elaborate than usual base.

I do think it's the exclusive, though--but I hope it's not just a totally separate thing that sits on the ground next to the PF. It needs a mini base of its own, like the Vader helmet, etc.

[IrishJedi]

Not that I can think of, but maybe the idol is just part of a more elaborate than usual base.

That's what I was thinking. If the Idol is the exclusive then it needs a separate pedestal for display, like the one that the Doom PF cup sits on.

[Entropy Chicken]

It'd be nice if the pose lends itself to Indy contemplating the idol rather than it just sitting off by itself somewhere. That's why I think interchangeable hands could work, one holding the idol, another holding the pistol.

I think the thing that would get me most excited about the idol is if it has its own pedestool that looks like the one it was on in the movie. Otherwise I could see myself easily passing on it. But who knows.

Something tells me that there will not. Typically, having a variety of display options is more for 12" figures, and PFs are meant for the most iconic representation possible--which in this case means a hat.

[Entropy Chicken]

I predict the hat as part of the sculpt. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised though and they figure out how to make a removable hat look good in this scale or go the 2 heads route.

[Karma]

could go the route of 2 head sculpts one with the hat and one without

[tomandshell]

I guess I would rather just see a more interesting exclusive than an alternate head--because if we do get it, that will be it for the exclusive. I can't think of a previous PF that had an alternate head option available on the regular version.

[Entropy Chicken]

What options are there for the exclusive? I know it won't be the torch/dart repeat

fertility idol w/ hand to grasp it
idol pedestal
alternate non-hat head
book w/ illustration of the Ark

other ideas?

[The Josh]

Congrats on 1k EC!

I would like to see a sculpted idol/hand combo

[Entropy Chicken]

Thanks Josh!

I really can't think of many exclusives that would make sense for the Indy PF.
Since it's a static pose, it would have to be something that would work with the stance such as a head or hand swap or a separate stand alone accessory.

I thought about an 'action' whip or Indy's other gun but they really don't seem that practical or that great of exclusives.

[tomandshell]

Indy never really had the chance to stand around and pose while holding the idol and looking casually heroic, so those wanting a screen accurate figure might not like the traditional non-dynamic PF pose with the idol in hand (mixing iconic pose with screen/scene specific prop). The PF is also still carrying the "sand bag" so it seems that he has yet to swap it for the idol. The pedestal holding the idol would be too large, much like the Mirror of Galadriel that never saw the light of day.

I'm not sure what they have in store for us...

[Entropy Chicken]

Don't recall seeing the PF holding the sandbag pic. Could you point me to it Tom?

[Darklord Dave]

I wonder if the larger size will allow for a removable hat?

Sculpted hair is sculpted hair - with a removeable hat he'll either look bigheaded with the hat on, or the hair will be shaped funny when he has it off. I say, no to the removeable hat.

Trev said that the pose is "reminiscent of what you're all familiar with, but not [scene] specific by any means. a tribute is a nice way to put it." So I could see Indy holding the idol casually in a way he did not in the film. At any rate it sounds like we won't get a 100% screen accurate pose which is ok by me.

[darthviper107]

I'm thinking that it would be possible. Really with a hat like that there the fit can't be too much associated with it sqeezing around the hair. A helmet yes, but this is a simple hat, and at a larger scale they could probably make a sort of cloth hat that would fit tightly to a sculpted head.

[Sandindy]

The Medicom Toys version of Indy has the removable hat but the hat looks large or something, I like what Sideshow did with the 12 inch it makes his hat/head more proportionate.

[Khev]

I guess I would rather just see a more interesting exclusive than an alternate head--because if we do get it, that will be it for the exclusive. I can't think of a previous PF that had an alternate head option available on the regular version.

Captain America had an alternate head as well as additional accessories but he certainly wasn't the norm.

[Agent0028]

But not on the regular version. I think what Tom is saying is that if they do two heads, the other head will be the exclusive, and he doesn't think that would be the best exclusive.

The idol seems likely to me as an exclusive, I can't think how else they would have it, unless his other ahnd is holding in both versions. :dunno

No real reason other than its never been done before, but that doesn't mean it won't be done.

I believe the Thing PF has 2, and the Anakin PF has a regular and exclusive head.

The only reason the figure has 2 though is because they felt it would look more realistic for the hat to be molded as part of the head than to make one head with a wearable hat due to the limits of the scale.

Aren't those both exclusives though? I know Anakin is, not sure about the Thing though. Anyways I'm saying that I don't think the regular version of the PF will have to heads, and I think the exclusive will be the idol which mean no exclusive head. Although I suppose they could do both.

I just bracing myself for the "his boot laces are wrong length" thread once full pics are out :lol

Oh, gotcha, correct, I don' think there's been a 2 head regular edition.

Well if his boot laces are the wrong length then that's a deal breaker for me.

No, I'm dead serious, I won't order a poor job like a Sideshow PF when there is a Medicom Indy available.

Sculpted hair is sculpted hair - with a removeable hat he'll either look bigheaded with the hat on, or the hair will be shaped funny when he has it off. I say, no to the removeable hat.

Yeah, it all needs to be sculpted together. It will look really silly otherwise.

So you'll order an Indy that doesn't look like Indy over what will be one of the best Indy pieces around?
