[Shai]

I see red X.......:confused:

[Blackhole]

I also see nothing...

[OSCORP]

I see red X.......:confused:

hmmm i don't but here

[ProgMatinee]

I see red x's too, but they all seem like they have cartoonish faces and are posed like Wayne and Garth so at least they are medicom xs.

[MaulFan]

Not bad from the neck down, but the face looks more like Corey Feldman in the Goonies than Shia Lebouf.

[IrishJedi]

Hideous.

The sculpt looks nothing like Shia LeBouf (the Hasbro one is better!!) and that jacket looks like slick, shiny 80s go-go vinyl.

:monkey4

[El Roranous]

Medicom needs new sculptors. Their products could be so much better in my opinion for their price range.

Really not feeling the Older Dr. Jones.....a lazy *** attempt at it IMHO. Mutt looks alright but I'll wait for SSC's version which I think is a given.

[Shai]

nah...I dont like the likeness on this one, I agree with the Corey Feldman comment...But their Sweeney Tod is awesome.

[YoNoSe]

Doesn't look great next to that comparison pic, but I think it looks a lot like LaBoooof. I'll have to actually see the movie before I decide on this one.

[IrishJedi]

That looks NOTHING like Shia Le Bouf.

Yeah, it looks like Medicom is doing a KOTCS Indy, too... which of course is the exact same thing as the other Indy, just with an older Indy headsculpt (which actually looks better, imho, except for the lack of gray hair). Too bad it will still have that horrible fedora, though. The jackets are all terrible, too. :monkey1

If it were not for the Henry, Sr. figure this line would be a complete laughing-stock already.

[Blackhole]

I don't see it...looks kinda young...Kinda REALLY young...

[IrishJedi]

You want a GOOD Mutt Williams 12" figure? Do what I'm doing... get the Hasbro figure, repaint the head and put it on the upcoming Hot Toys Brando:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/6386_press01-001.jpg

Also would have to dye the shirt from tan to gray (or use the Hasbro one), which is easy. With the exception of the pins and the "Mutt" embroidery, this would be perfect (and still cheaper than Medicom's laughable attempt). Plus... you'll get the hat!

[lcummins]

Looks pretty good, but I need to see better pictures...

[Shai]

:google:google:google

Lonnie, you must like anything that comes from Asia. :lol

[Shai]

There's some rating still going on....:monkey1

[lcummins]

Lonnie, you must like anything that comes from Asia. :lol


No, I just need to see more pictures... Medicom's strong point is it's Anime figures, but they are getting better on human sculpts and this is only a prototype... they've been known to tweak a sculpt after previewing it.

[IrishJedi]

They're gonna have to do a hell of a lot more than tweaking to save this one.

To be bested by a $20 Hasbro figure? That's bad.

[doesitmatter]

Medicom has already announced FOUR Indy 1/6 figures? SSC needs to at least tease another 1/6 figure soon.

[El Roranous]

Have you guys noticed how Medicom always takes pictures with the figures head down to hide their hideous neck joint and long neck? :lol

Like I said they really need to evolve or lose a lot of business...they are starting to be eclipsed by almost everyone.

[Shai]

Sideshow is apparently too busy being recalcitrant* with the Buck body to be bothered with picking up steam on the INDY line.

* That was for you, Banny.

[MaulFan]

Ya, but look at the quality of Sideshow's 1 to Medicom's 3. Slower can pay off sometimes.

I was thinking the same thing. And what's the deal with the hips always being in the forward thrust position?

[IrishJedi]

Where can I see a pic of the Hasbro one? I'd like to compare.

Here you go. It's not great (it's cheap Hasbro) but it looks a heck of a lot more like Shia LeBouf and with some good repainting would be decent enough:

http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-4450364dt.jpg

The Hasbro figure itself is pretty bad, though. The "action feature" makes the entire right arm limp. But again, it's less than $20. Medicom's will be $150 plus shipping. :monkey4 The Hasbro + a bash with the Hot Toys Brando would blow the Medi figure out of the water.

[MaulFan]

Yup, I easily take away Shia looking that portrait, for sure not high end but it at least conveys the person it's supposed to be.

[EVILFACE]

They both look close enough, just a bit to stylized.

[IrishJedi]

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b44/kryptonianmike/RAH_MUTT4.jpg

Look at the Medicom Mutt and tell me that doesn't scream "Young Asian Elvis!" to you. :lol

[EVILFACE]

"My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack"

[El Roranous]

I was thinking the same thing. And what's the deal with the hips always being in the forward thrust position?

That's the posture thing I was talking about. I don't understand that because no one really stands like that yet they always take pictures of their figures like that.

It seems Medicom is trying to do the same thing over and over again without taking any risks. Hot Toys brought us the Power Loader and their sculpting has improved so much over time. Sideshow si bringing us a new body and their sculpting is also tops. They always excite us with new strange licenses and accessories/exclusives.

Medicom just keeps shoving the same thing our way for more money. It makes me want to sell every singe medicom figure I own and never buy another till they improve on something.

[TheObsoleteMan]

I think it would be a damn good likeness if not for that schnozola. Medi has a bad habit of giving their sculpts big ol' honking noses.

Then do it Rory! :rock

The eyes and hair are way off... and there's nothing you can do about any of these issues (eye shape/spacing, nose, hair) without a resculpt.

I totally agree! I was thinking about buying the Hasbro 12" Mutt, popping off his head and putting it on a Hot Toys body. I may go the Brando route too since the outfit is nearly the same other than the different colored t-shirt under the jacket! Great idea Irish!

Wow...I dress like that...

No really...no hat, and different shirt, but other than that...

[aussieinnyc]

It looks like the likeness could be really close, btu it's just altered becuase of the downward tilt to the head (to hide the giraffe neck). That's a problem in itself, but I don't know that it's the fault of the head sculpt.

[El Roranous]

Then do it Rory! :rock

I will... I am just really lazy when it comes to ebay. It actually takes longer than expected to make those stupid listings. :lol:lol

[Captain Britain]

Unless Mutt is the second coolest character in the series next to Indy - which I feel is unlikely - I'm not interested in any version of him, although the Brando head swap idea is awesome. The KOTCS Indy sculpt is just...depressing! It's got no character at all.

Indy and Mutt sculpts look more like Martin Landau and John Cusack than who they're meant to be.

I read an outline of the plot of KOTCS today, and while it's hard to tell just from what I read the structure of the movie seems sound enough.

[EVILFACE]

Indy is all I really care out. Just give me him, each of the artifacts from the 4 films and the Ark and call it a day.

Even been thinking about dropping SS Indy for the Takara one :monkey3

[olvidadero]

Those two are hideous, i'll wait for my SSC KOTCS Indy and Mutt.

[doesitmatter]

I was going to pick up Indy and Henry thinking they would be it. But these two are so awful they make me want to skip the entire line.

[IrishJedi]

Even been thinking about dropping SS Indy for the Takara one :monkey3

From the recent descriptions, the Takara Indy does indeed sound like it will be rather thorough and all-encompassing for casual Indy collectors. I'm anxious to see the sculpts.

[IrishJedi]

I was going to pick up Indy and Henry thinking they would be it. But these two are so awful they make me want to skip the entire line.

You may as well cancel, because you know Sideshow will make a Henry Sr. figure that will be at least as good (and will fit in with the rest of your 1/6 Indy figures). Between SSC and Takara I see absolutely no reason to dive into any of the Medicom offerings (to say nothing of the issues those have).

[Cocoboloboy]

The Brando head swap idea...brilliant. I'm not sold on that Hasbro sculpt just yet though.

None of the Medi Indy figures a look that good to me either but ,as said before, they definitely have a certain stile unlike any other 1:6 company.

[bcm77]

I think it's time Medicom stopped doing non anime based figures because they clearly haven't a clue when it comes to doing accurate likenesses and the attire doesn't appear to be as good as some of their past work either.
Not that I think the SSC one is much better but it will at least have a decent sculpt underneath the inevitably crap production paintjob.

[EVILFACE]

The Brando figure is way to large to pass off as LeBouf. They Medibody looks fine for him, but yea, those HT clothes own it.

[bagelsncheesey]

Ugh, no likeness whatsoever. Outfit is nice, but the sculpt isn't working.

[plasmid303]

That nose is huge. Now way we can fix that. Is it just me, or do I see a little bit of Asian in him?

[The Mike]

*ignoring the obvious joke.....


That seems to be Medi's thing to give a slight Asian flavor to their human sculpts...

[ProgMatinee]

I think they just retooled the Jango sculpt.

[Cocoboloboy]

The Brando figure is way to large to pass off as LeBouf. They Medibody looks fine for him, but yea, those HT clothes own it.

Yeah, your probably right. The clothes would work fine but a normal HT body would be huge.

[The Josh]

Not that great on either attempt though I think the Mutt figure is better than the Indy. Strange considering really their Jones Sr is pretty darn good.

[bcm77]

*ignoring the obvious joke.....


That seems to be Medi's thing to give a slight Asian flavor to their human sculpts...

And they shouldn't be doing it,you don't see Hot Toys or SSC trying to do anything but get a decent recreation of how the subject actually looks in real life.
Granted neither company gets it right all the time but it's more often than not (especially HT) but the only non Asian likeness I've seen Medicom capture to a decent standard was Hugh Jackman's on the X3 Wolverine and even that needed a repaint.

[IrishJedi]

The pics are small, but so far the sculpt on their Sweeny Todd figure looks pretty good.

With the exception of Henry, Sr, however, all of their Indy sculpts are hideous. :monkey1

[IrishJedi]

The Brando figure is way to large to pass off as LeBouf. They Medibody looks fine for him, but yea, those HT clothes own it.

You can work with it to make it smaller, chest-wise. The height is fine.

The cover of EMPIRE shows that Shia isn't that much shorter than Harrison:

http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/indy4empireback.jpg

The HT body would work as long as he doesn't look too buff.

[lcummins]

Gee... he has such a long neck... :monkey3

[IrishJedi]

Gee... he has such a long neck... :monkey3

Yeah, so Medicom will get the neck right at least. :lol

[TheObsoleteMan]

Gee... he has such a long neck... :monkey3

Looks to me like he's doing the old "stretching" trick to make himself look a bit taller next to Harrison.

[EVILFACE]

Looks to me like he's doing the old "stretching" trick to make himself look a bit taller next to Harrison.

That's what it looks like to me.

[galactiboy]

I think the sculpt on Mutt looks fine... but its a figure of LeBouf so I have no interest in it anyway :lol

[MANDO]

The Hasbro Mutt looks better as far as the likeness goes. I could see Mutt be SSCs next release though.

[rabidwolverine21]

I think the medicom likeness is spot on likeness of shia but not for the movie or time. maybe if that was him idk 6 or so years ago id say that its a real great sculpt. unfortunantly it turned out looking like a little boy version of the character whos ben playing with hair gel.:rotfl

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, I guess it looks kinda like Shia LeBouf if he was 15. And Asian.

[DarkArtist81]

Yeah, I guess it looks kinda like Shia LeBouf if he was 15. And Asian.

:rotfl:lol:rotfl:lol:rotfl

Yeah, I don't like it either.. I don't see him in there. I'll wait for SSC to do one, which I'm sure will be fine.

[YoNoSe]

Yeah his big eyebrows, pale complexion and brown poofy hair sure do make him look Asian. So very Asian. It's the Asianest thing I've ever seen.
:lol:rolleyes:

[The Josh]

Yeah, I guess it looks kinda like Shia LeBouf if he was 15. And Asian.

That's funny. :rotfl

[Deak Starkiller]

Irish I think you're being a little harsh on the ol' Medicom Shia. To say the Hasbro is way better is a little nutty. I think the angle of the picture doesn't help things at all. To be fair let me **** on Hasbro a little. Here is actor William Devane and the 12" Indy.:lol
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/24/images/william-devane-24.jpghttp://www.actionfigurecollectors.com/images/news/indianajones_collectibles/indy12inchhasbrowave2.jpg

[IrishJedi]

I don't think ANYONE has anything positive to say about the head on the Hasbro Talking Indy, either. That thing is hideous. What's weird, though, is that having them in-hand I could tell that it was actually using the same sculpt as the regular 12" Indy (which is passable)... but the rubber material and creepy jaw-moving mechanism just throws it WAY off. Hasbro would have been much better off just consolidating the two 12" Indys and doing away with the "talking" feature altogether. It's just bad.

That said, I firmly stand behind my statement that the sculpt on the Hasbro 12" Mutt Williams is a better likeness than Medicom's. And I don't think I'm being "harsh" on that figure at all, considering it will come in at $150. It doesn't look like the actor/character and the jacket makes him look like he's about to spend a night at The Blue Oyster Bar, not go on some global adventure with Indiana Jones.

[Deak Starkiller]

Ok you got me at the Blue Oyster reference! :rotfl I do agree at $150 no, I don't think so but I still think it looks better than Hasbros but that's not saying much. Agree to disagree. :peace I wonder how long till Chavez rolls in here to go into defensive mode...

[Bardoon]

I like the KotCS Indy and think that it is a solid likeness but I would like to see some more angles and closer camera shots. I'll probably pick him up.

Mutt looks nuthin' like Shia...I don't know what to make of the character...I have to wait till the movie.

Sideshow has to step it up, Medicom has shown FOUR Indy figures already compared to their ONE.

[DarkArtist81]

But they have shown two "ok" ones and 2 horrible ones. Sideshow may have one, but it's fantastic. It has flaws, but I guarantee once it is in my hands... it will exceed expectations.

At least IMO. I don't consider myself a Medi-hater. I have several. But the young Indy looks odd and the clothes don't look as nice as they could. Connery is great. Old Indy looks like hell, the clothes are rough and don't seem to fit right. And the sculpt is atrocious. Mutt is just a huge MISS...

So far, Medicom is not impressing me with this line. I haven't ordered a single one.

[Bardoon]

:lol I wasn't comparing the products, I was just stating that I'd like to see more of Sideshow's INDY stuff and was commenting that Medicom has already shown so many now.

[DarkArtist81]

I don't mind it when a company takes it's time... I'd rather have quality that great care was taken to achieve than something rushed and not up to standards.

Sideshow stuff takes a while to trickle out. Once they get into the second and third figs, it should start coming out a bit faster.

[Darklord Dave]

You can't really say that Medicom doesn't do non-anime well either as the Henry Sr. and Sweeney Todd look pretty good. But they aren't as dead on as HT has been recently.

[IrishJedi]

You look at sculpts like Henry Sr. and you have to think that Medicom almost lucked into it based on most of their other human character sculpts.

[DarkArtist81]

You can't really say that Medicom doesn't do non-anime well either as the Henry Sr. and Sweeney Todd look pretty good. But they aren't as dead on as HT has been recently.

Exactly. Sweeney is fantastic and Henry Sr. is as well. Jango was well done, Maul too. Medicom can make some great stuff, some that can be amazing with a repaint.

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, but there is also Jedi Luke, Jack Shephard, the Indys, Mutt, etc. They are completely hit or miss on the human head sculpts... either really good or blech.

[DarkArtist81]

Yeah, but there is also Jedi Luke, Jack Shephard, the Indys, Mutt, etc. They are completely hit or miss on the human head sculpts... either really good or blech.

I totally agree with you there. Some of the sculpts are not even close. That is why I only have 4 Medi figs, 3 are helmeted and 1 is Yoda. :lol

[Bardoon]

I'm actually in the opposite line of thinking here and I think the Indy sculpts are pretty damn good and that Connery looks more "cartoony" than both of them.

But thats just me. :cool:

[olvidadero]

Ok, I'm resurrecting this thread. Has Mutt begun shipping? Do you still think we'll get a Sideshow 1/6 Mutt Williams? With the hype of the movie long gone, and Mutt not having as much fans as one could expect, do you think Sideshow will give him a chance?

[Cocoboloboy]

Personally I couldn't care less if SS made Mutt. I don't see them making him, for a while at least, anyways.

There's just too many other characters I'd think people would want before Mutt...Unless he comes with exclusive "vine swinging action". Then I'd have to get him.:D

[The Mike]

Mutt has just as much chance of being made as any although being in the last film and SS starting with the first doesn't really bode well for him or any of those characters really. I'd buy a Mutt if he were made, probably two so I could kitbash a Sam Witwicky figure from Transformers but I wouldn't hold my breath until they actually hit a KOTCS era which would no doubt start with a aged Indy.

[thenammagazine]

You could always pop the Hasbro sculpt onto a TrueType. Cheaper than the Medi and the likeness is definitely there, just a poor paint job.

[doesitmatter]

I'm more curious about the Crystal Skull Indy. I hated the one pic we saw but if it's decent in hand I may get one.

[Ven]

mutt is out, looks pretty good so far.
http://cgi.ebay.com/MEDICOM-MUTT-WILLIAMS-INDIANA-JONES-CRYSTAL-SKULL-12_W0QQitemZ150316998441QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defa ultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

[The Mike]

The sculpt looks nothing like LaBeouf. I thought the proto was spot on but in production they lost it....:(

[Ven]

they haven't even have clear pictures yet lol..

[pipedog]

red x's :duh

[The Mike]

Well from what I see in the box itself the production paint job looks absolutely horrible. I don't have much faith that clear in shot pics will change that.

[Deak Starkiller]

Hmm, too early to tell.

[IrishJedi]

I'd like to see out of the box pics, but... Ewww. Honestly, aside from the jacket this isn't looking much better than the Hasbro figure at this point. Pretty cool that it comes with the bag to put the Crystal Skull in, though. Can't tell if the jacket still looks like a ghey 80's biker jacket like the proto.

Seriously, what happened with Medicom? Their RAH figures have been pretty damn bad lately. Indy, LOST Jack, and now this. Ugh. They'd better not eff up Sweeney Todd, too, or I'll be seriously pissed.

[Supergaijin76]

mutt is out, looks pretty good so far.
http://cgi.ebay.com/MEDICOM-MUTT-WILLIAMS-INDIANA-JONES-CRYSTAL-SKULL-12_W0QQitemZ150316998441QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defa ultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

It looks like they scaled the zippers down (would that they had done that for Indy), but swapped out the jacket material from the prototype photos. It's not a bad looking figure overall, but if I didn't know that was supposed to be Mutt from the movie, I'd just think it was a generic 50s teen.

With a sword.

Or did all those crazy cats carry swords to the malt shop back in those days?

[EVILFACE]

Man, that looks nothing like Shai.

[olvidadero]

He looks even less like Shia ;)

[JustinLuck]

The likeness is better than Indy's.

[Ven]

better boxed pictures, I think it looks alot more like shia now.

http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=4018&extra=page%3D1&page=1

[noisetrigger]

I saw this figure in person and the paint job is much better than the prototype. Same with KOCS Indy too, much better paint job than the proto. For this two figures, I got to give credit to Medicom because this is their best paint job yet on a human sculpt, going for a HT realistic look but the sculpt on the other hand are kinda miss for both of them. Don't really look like them at all.

[Snake Eater]

Very poor indeed.

[YoNoSe]

I like this and old Indy. I'll own them when I can get them for much, much, much cheaper than retail. Maybe one more much.

[DarthNeil]

The sculpts might be OK but the Medi bodies are :monkey4.

[Darklord Dave]

That inbox pic from ToyWorld does look as good or better than the proto. Hopefully he won't be as bad as animeJack.

[RJMacReady16]

I'm still trying to figure out where all of the criticism is coming from over this sculpt. :confused:

That actually looks a lot like Shia and even better than the proto:
http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp160/bingbing999/01/MUTT-WILLIAM-4.jpg


A rare homerun for Medicom, in my opinion. Actually glad I ordered one. :whip

[RJMacReady16]

The sculpts might be OK but the Medi bodies are :monkey4.

Yeah, but the Medi-body will actually be advantageous for once since he's a younger character.

[DarthNeil]

Yeah, but the Medi-body will actually be advantageous for once since he's a younger character.

That might be true...AND I'm tempted by both sculpts that I've seen as I doubt KOTCS will be on Sideshow's Indy to do list--

[Jedi Princess]

Anybody try to put the Hot Toys Brando biker cap onto the Medicom Mutt? Wondering if Mutt's head will be too small for it.

[agent_85]

Bit of tac will hold it on no probs!

[cerealkeller]

I actually think it looks pretty good. If I were a bigger fan of the character I would pick it up for $80. But not the current price it's going for. The face looks like one of Medicom's best IMO.

[Billy Ray]

Some loose pics. Looks pretty nice to me!

wow, looks really nice.

[CelticPredator]

He does. If he ever goes cheap, like 90 or something, i'll pick him up for sure.

[Deak Starkiller]

I like it a lot. I would like to see him next to Indy for scale purposes.

[Mr. Fusion]

That really does look pretty good. Ahellofalot better than the proto. I still think it is a little off, though.

[zoid2323]

Looks pretty good I will chase one down for sure.

[Ben]

looks pretty good actually..

[Dally]

Looks pretty good. I'll consider purchasing it if I can find one for less that $100 sometime down the road.

[IrishJedi]

Looks pretty good. I'll consider purchasing it if I can find one for less that $100 sometime down the road.

Same here. It looks pretty good in these final pics, but not at over $100.

Nice looking figure but it ain't Shia.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/Mutt.jpg

Like a few other Medi figures its bears only a slight resemblance but not a dead on sculpt, looking at Medi's Jango and a couple of others they can do it. Unfortunately it might be the only shot we get at it.

[mfisher]

I dunno.. with a proper repaint.. lighten up the eyes and the hair.. this actually may be a really good headsculpt... I am definitely in for ordering one once I sell another custom holster/belt set

[Cocoboloboy]

Yeah, I see really good potential in a repaint.

[jedibear]

Those boxed shots actually look pretty good. At least they jettisoned the big silver zipper on the jacket...looks better now.

I'm gonna remain hopeful that Sideshow will render this character and other KOTCS ones later...

[OSCORP]

Looks good to me. Not a fan though but if i was i'd get it.

[Deak Starkiller]

NONONONONONONONONNONONONOONONONO!!!!!no!

I saw one of these in person finally in Harajuku over the New Year's holiday and I take back some of what I wrote about it. The likeness was much better when I could hold the box in my hand. It's not pefect but the one I saw looked better than the product pic on the actual box!

The character just doesn't do a lot for me, and I have nothing against Shia. If it had been a Sallah figure, I might've bought it. But hey, it's not a bad figure at all.

Low quantity (approximately 50 remaining) for Indy KOTCS.

[DarthNeil]

Just got my notice for the KOTCS Medi Indy... Charging on the 16th.

[doesitmatter]

That from Sideshow? I'm eyeing them on CSC but I need to sell some stuff first.

[DarthNeil]

That from Sideshow? I'm eyeing them on CSC but I need to sell some stuff first.

Yep. And now they're both listed (Mutt as well) as In stock.

Is CSC good to get items from?

[doesitmatter]

Very much so. And they take 10% off.

I get most of my Sideshow and Hot Toys from them. I've also got the next three waves of Mattel DC Universe ordered there.

[Ven]

looks great!! check out these pics.

http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=11991&extra=page%3D1

[doesitmatter]

That likeness is great! Now I have to get one.

Think I'll display him without the jacket from the warehouse scene. Back when teh movie held so much promise. :rolleyes:

[OSCORP]

That does look very good.

[minivader]

they both look good. A nice old ford HS IMHO.

[Darklord Dave]

Just got Mutt and KotCS Indy. No 2 figures better illustrated the wide range of Medicom. The Mutt is nearly perfect - great sculpt (maybe 5% anime looking) and an excellent costume. The bag with Cyrillic writing and the skull inside and the hand with the sword are excellent accessories.

The Indy on the other hand...

He also comes with the skull. I couldn't figure out which way the hat is supposed to go on - it looks bad either way. The portrait isn't as awful as you might think at a glance - on profile it almost looks like Ford - but there's very little real resemblance.

[Deak Starkiller]

Post some pics Dave! Please. :)

[DarthNeil]

Pics Dave, please... I'm seriously considering getting these two.

[doesitmatter]

There some very good deals on ebay for these two right now. I just got them both for under $200 with shipping.

[jedibear]

Okay...at the risk of looking really dumb in here...what's CSC?

Gotta say...the pics posted on the forum venakin steered us to...
http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/vi...extra=page%3D1 ...they both look pretty good. It's too bad Medi stuck with that insanely large zipper for Indy, but the Mutt looks really nice.

... I doubt KOTCS will be on Sideshow's Indy to do list--

Man, I hope that's not true...I really hope the line can hang on long enough to do a few characters from KOTCS...just Indy, Mutt & Spalko would be enough.

My Hasbro Dovchenko is on the way from BBTS and it should arrive just around when I get the Medi KOTCS Indy from a fellow freak...:D With a little rework I think it'll make for a nice fire ants display.

I'd buy Spalko, probably not Dovchenko though. Spalko was a much more stand-out villain to me, similar to Toht and obviously Mola Rom. No one in Crusade really stood out to me...except Hitler.

Speak of the devil. :wave

I'm hoping that the Medi size of the KOTCS Indy in comparison to the Dovchenko (when transplanted onto a buck) will help make Indy even more diminuative and the Russian more gigantic.:D

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn92/XMPhotos/Indiana%20Jones/Mutt.jpg

Is he worth picking up?

[MANDO]

I'd say yes. I really like him and the likeness to Shia is definitely there, just the paint covers it up mostly. The Skull is clear resin exxcept for the manible which is soft like pvc. The jacket is really nice and I especially like the buttons on the lapel. More pics soon.

[olvidadero]

Looks REALLY good. Especially body and outfit (I love how natural and real the pants look). I might be getting it soon.

[MANDO]

Here's a few more pics. Once I start messing with this figure it's hard to put it down. The body allows for lots of natural poses, just too short for anything other than teens, imo. My only real complaint would be that the jeans aren't grey at the bottom where they are rolled up, but I'm planning to paint that soon. Also you might notice there's a wire in the belt on the jacket, I added that so it'd hang naturally otherwise it just jets out.

Good pics. It's a nice-looking figure. Just not a Mutt fan. I just bought the KOTCS Indy. I hope it comes out better than the Medi Raiders version. Haven't seen too many pics posted of it.

[jedibear]

Superb shots there, Mando!

I think he looks like a pretty decent figure. Do you have the SS Indy to pose him with just for a shot or two? (Yes, I know...it's the "Raiders" Indy but still... :) )

Good call (& recommendation) on the jacker with the wire...one small thing I'm noticing though...if I get this figure, I think I'm gonna try some double-sided tape on those collar flaps to get them the stay on the shoulders...otherwise, the tailoring looks really good. And I really like the Crystal Skull...

Thanks again for the great pics...post more!

[mfisher]

cool pics of Mutt.. I would love to see a close up of the lapel pins to see how close to accurate they are..

thanks for the KOTCS shots, DarthNeill...you're right, that sculpt does look better w/o the hat. And wow...that zipper is REALLY big. I know they changed the one on Mutt's jacket from the proto, I don't understand why they didn't for Indy too...would've looked a lot better. I think I'll try the Hasbro Jacket on him to see if that looks alright...

The Crystal Skull is cool too...


...and I'm gonna ask a dumb question (since these will be my first Medi figures)...do they come with the stand?

[Billy Ray]

The KOTCS Indy's sculpt looks fantastic, but that hat looks horrible. The crown is way too tall. I wonder why they didn't just reuse the hat from the younger Indy since they recylcled pretty much everything else from that figure?

[shocktrooper_au]

Mutt turned out nice, but that KOTCS Indy is horrible hat on or off

[doesitmatter]

Mine showed up today:

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p68/Jackyrhode/DSC06547.jpg

Mutt's perfect. I'm a little surprised they didn't include ungloved hands but it's not a big deal. The leather jacket looks great, much better than say Sideshow's Terminator and the pins look individually applied. I love the Russian sack the Crystal Skull comes in but the Skull isn't quite as nice as the Gentle Giant crate version. It's missing the brain cloud.

And, since I got everything, here's Crystal Skull Indy:

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p68/Jackyrhode/DSC06548.jpg

I love the head sculpt but did a little kitbashing on him. The body is a Medicom Massive. I used the extra chest piece for the Medi Indy (who's my Last Crusade version). This body with the broader shoulders, thicker thighs abut less broad chest feels right for a man in his 60's. Indy's hands weren't a great fit in the massive body so I kept the massive's. They're paler but they also work for his age. I used the leg extenders as well to make him taller than most Medis and definitely taller than Mutt.

I ditched the jacket since it was the same as the Medi Indy. I wanted to get the warehouse look (the best part of the movie) and differentiate him from the otehr Indys on my shelf (five at last count!). The bag was too small so I used the Hasbro version. I also reshaped the hat with some hot water. It's a totally different sculpt than their first Indy, darker and more beat up. BTW, the whip is a darker brown than the first.

I was iffy about these two but now I'm really glad I got them.

[Spartan Rex]

Hope they dont screw up Young Indy/River Phoenix

[Mighty_Jabba]

doesitmatter: Mutt looks great. Good work on Indy, that's the first pic of him that I like. Wouldn't buy him myself but the mods you did on him really improve the figure.

[jedibear]

great shots, doesimatter...Mutt really does look great. Like the Indy too...

[mfisher]

I got mine in hand now... great figure.. had no desire to get their Indy.. but Mutt is fantastic..

[DarthNeil]

The KOTCS Indy is not a bad fig and if you can get him at a discount he's nice to display with Mutt.

[choopie]

I like my KOTCS Indy. It's a nice representation of an older Indy, although the fedora looks atrocious on him. I have him displayed without the hat with skull in hand.

I just hope somebody will make 1:6 ToD figures. I want Mola Ram.

Nice shots, DarthNeill...really kicking myself for not picking up Dovchenko during those close-outs at KB last year...

Also got the KOTCS Indy in the same deal...
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3407/3305767370_298931e8b4_b.jpg

These two are my first foray into the world of Medicom...and while I'm impressed by both of them (especially Mutt...he's really something). I've got to give Sideshow the edge here when it comes to Indy. I hope they do more Indy figures, including this version from KOTCS. The SS clothes and accessories are better crafted on the Indy figure than these.

I will give Medicom an edge on these bodies...they may be smaller, but the joints on both of them are really tight allowing for some dynamic posing. I don't want to start another Medi vs Sideshow conversation, though. They both have their good and bad qualities...but I am really enjoying these two figures. More pictures later...

[DarthNeil]

Great pics (as always JB)! Doesn't the belt of Indy annoy the crap out of you?... It keeps falling down.

I definitely hope that SSC tackles KOTCS figs but if not I'm happy with these two-- Oh, and BBTS still have Dovchenko available for $29.99.

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS15183&mode=retail

Pop the hs onto a Buck body and it towers over the two Medi KOTCS figs. I'll need to do a repaint on his face but it looks good (and you get those wonderful--if slightly out of scale ants as well).

[Mr. Fusion]

Mutt really does look great. Especially for a Medicom figure. Kinda surprising that they can actually make a decent looking lifelike figure. Just kidding. But he really looks great.

I cannot say as much for Indy. There are too many inaccuracies with the gear. Now, I'm classified as a "gear head" and I know when something is wrong on an Indy figure. The bag looks decent, besides the buttons being oversized, the shirt is fairly accurate, and the boots look good. The whip looks okay, considering it's real leather. Most of the outfit is the wrong color, though. The gun is incorrect (even if he never friggin used it in the movie!). It should the a Webley Mark VI; it looks like a S&W 1917. The jacket isn't light enough, should look more worn out. The fedora truly is atrocious. Medicom has spit in the face of Adventurebilt. And the part that gets me the most, for some reason is the belt. It's identical to the Raiders belt! It was basically on backwards in the movie and a more orange color.

OK, that's enough for my rant... Mutt looks good, though.:lol

[DarthNeil]

I finally got around to padding his stomach a bit and I think posing him without the jacket (and that zipper) so that he looks more like he does at the beginning of KOTCS is the best. Yes the hat is still a slight negative, but overall I think this Medi fig is worth it (if you find him at a lower price than the $150 price tag) as a good representative of the older Indy.

I had to take pics cause there're too many frustrating Stromtrooper pics floating around (mine still at processing :monkey2).

[FLOSI]

Not trying to necro post but has anyone tried porting this over to a TT Slim? It would seem like this figure could be picked up cheap through ebay but I wasn't quite sure of the scale, and if it were too small if it could be switched to a Slim TT to achieve a better look in relation to a SS Indy?

[Centrocal]

The True Type Slim is virtually the same height as the Medi 301, but it does have better articulation

[FLOSI]

I know nothing about Medicom as I don't own a single figure from them. Thanks, I do appreciate the break down. I took a look on eBay and there were only about 5 on there, all from dealers and all expensive. There were 2 going for $99 BIN but those were from Japan and shipping was around 35 and up.... yuk. Might not be the inexpensive figure I thought it would be. Oh well.

[MANDO]

Seems like I saw Mutt in one of the various trade threads around here. I don't think he was more than $85. He is actually a pretty neat figure with a great outfit and decent likeness to Shia. Of the three IJ Medis I bought he's the only one I've kept.

[Manticore72c]

Thanks guys , I wasn't going to try to get one , but after seeing this thread etc , I've changed my mind.
Cheers.

And it's got a little 'winkie' too. :lol

[FLOSI]

I just thought it would be a great compliment to KOTCS Indy. Likeness is pretty good, not great but good, and outfit is spot on. It really just depends on the price.

[JediJones]

It's half-price at Sideshow only for today with their 24HR50 coupon! $82 delivered is the right price for me. I don't own any Medicoms but with Sideshow putting their 12" Indy line on hiatus, making it all the less likely they'll ever do their own Mutt Williams, this is a great add-on to the Sideshow Indy collection. The Medicom KOTCS Indy is also 50% off but I passed on that.

[FLOSI]

I got him last week through BBTS for 75 shipped. He's a nice figure and next to Indy and Sr. he's of a decent height on the Medi body. Sculpt is decent, though almost cartoonish. Accessories are just awesome, as is the outfit. For the price it's reasonable but I think I'll like having him all the more when KOTCS Indy hits.

So is he worth $100? That's about what he's gonna cost me after tax. Also, how easy does he look as far as conversion to a Slim TT? I trust your judgment here. :lol

[FLOSI]

Eh, it's too bad we didn't discuss this last week since BBTS would have been about the same shipped for us ($75). Could have saved you enough coin for the TT Slim.... almost.

I'm gonna give you my full opinion.... might get wordy :lol

OK, is he worth $100? I'd say no. The jacket has a bit of a plastic look, not bad, just a bit. Some weathering might make it look fantastic though. The pins on the collar are very nice.

Not sure if this has to do with the Medi body shape but the jeans/belt gather a bit in the front/buckle area. So much so that it sticks out a bit. Not that he looks like he has a hard-on or anything but his t-shirt fits tight, as it should, and if he's posed slumping over the bulge is noticeable. This can be rectified with some simple mods to the pants, though I've yet to try.

Sculpt does look a bit stylized. I think it's more then passable though.

Boots/Gloves/Rapier/Sack w crystal Skull are all top notch.

So on to porting over. I stripped him down to check the body out when I got him the other day. The gloves have wrist pegs that can be removed. TT pegs should pop right in, but there is a bit of the glove that extends over the wrist, so I'm not 100% sure if a TT peg will fit in the opening there. I'd say it will. Shoes should go right in the boots though the material is a bit stiff. Hot water made them nice and pliable when I was putting it back on the Medi buck so TT feet should be cool. Worst case remove the toe on the TT foot. The only issue might be the head swap. I didn't pop it off but the Medis are on those tiny neck posts. Dorgmal told me that heating the head should allow the post barbell to slip in and should that fail a small cut with an xacto knife should widen the opening enough, when paired with heating the head, to make it work.

I guess it just depends how badly you would want a companion piece to the Indy we're going to get in a few months.

Hmmmm. Thanks for that bud. I'll rewatch KOTCS tonight and make a decision afterward. If the sculpt doesn't fit or if stretching it winds up obscuring the lower portion of the sculpt, I'll say no. I'm also really gonna look closely at Hasbro's sculpt too. While the paint aps sucked, that sculpt wasn't bad.

And before someone pops up and says, "just use the medi neck, it unscrews at the back and can be screwed over the body post on the TT." I've done that before and it gave the character a scrawny chicken neck. Might be good for Medi's 12-year-old boy body, but on a realistic male body, no.

I'm keeping him on the Medi for the time being.... Might futz the clothing a bit... for 75 I'm happy :huh

Well, ordered a Phase 1 Clone Trooper during Fantacular and low and behold, guess who the freebie was? :lol

____ing Medicom. :monkey4. Wrist peg was broken right out of the box - so much for the new bodies (though I suppose if you can get the one out of the dueling hand without it breaking you could use that). Currently making lemonade from lemons. He ports over flawlessly to a Slim TT. The only issue I have is the Jeans. They seem a little too tight and if they wind up being sot with the shirt tucked in, the cow will be playing a bit of peek-a-boo through the barn door since the fly is so oddly sewn. Should that be the issue though, I can just as easily raid a set from the Hasbro one I have in the parts bin. :lol

I don't get why they sewed the collar on the jacket down though, but easily remedied by snipping the stitch. Just need to find a SS Indy stand (probably pick one up from TA) and a 1:6 switchblade (Joker's isn't accurate).

Can't say he's even worth the $75 discounted price, but hell, can't argue with free. Thanks for the figure Sideshow! :rock:rock:rock

Awesome, Nam. At least you got something you considered buying at one point. Mutt does look pretty good next to the KOTCS Indy too. Would you say that porting Mutt over to the Slim TT makes much of a difference? I never ended up doing it myself... Still on the Medi body. :D

On a side note, I'd say if I paid over $75.00 for this figure I'd be pissed. I just can't imagine that people paid over $150.00 for this thing.

Quality-wise, I'd say it makes all the difference getting him off that 10-year-old girl body both proportionately and durability-wise. It elevates him from Medi to SS status (comparing to KOTCS Indy) and I have a counterpart now for geezer Indy, as well as a bag for Sideshow's better Crystal Skull. I'm just glad I had a couple Slims lying around.

What neck did you use? The Slim TT or a Pro/normal TT?

Careful, I heard his bag's dye can melt off onto the skull if you put it inside.

Well I have one new/never displayed going for $50 shipped.

Slim TT. At first it looks a bit giraffe-ish but the neck sinks into the body a bit. Plus Shia has a bit of a long neck anyway.

Odd considering Medi's skull looks to be the same material and comes packed away in the bag. What's the source of the rumor?

Congrats, Nam. You can't argue with free!

Well, if I was a douchy entitlement bastard, I could. But I'm not. Hence why I can't even be bothered to return him for the broken wrist peg. :lol

It's a coincidence that you should bump this thread, as I'm expecting my Medicom Mutt to arrive today. I totally agree that these figures are never worth their recommended retail price, so I waited until there was one on ebay listed as an auction rather than a buy-it-now. I got mine for £33 delivered in the UK, which is about the value I would place on these.

A couple of weeks ago I received the Medicom Raiders Indy for £34.99 delivered (which was actually a low priced buy-it-now), though from the title and description I was expecting to receive the Crystal Skull version. I can't say that I'm very impressed with Medicom quality, certainly not £100+ quality! But as an Indy fan I just can't help myself.

I don't even like Mutt as a character, but the figure still said "buy me"...

Yeah, Medi's Indy blows. He'd still suck if he was free, IMO, because there's just so much wrong. Even looking at the Hasbro figure (which I don't like to compare much), it seems that Hasbro's looks like a better representation. Wonky likeness (when the rest are less "stylized," Auschwitz skeletal body, silly hat, orange whip, etc. There's just so much fail there. Sometimes I wonder who the person is in Medicom that says, "Yeah, that looks great! Approved! Make thousands and we'll charge $180 a pop!"

As for Mutt, It wasn't so much a complaint as an observation. While personally, I never would've paid for the guy, I saw the potential with a body swap and wasn't all that surprised to see that the peg was broken (several SW figures have glued parts). Mutt's coming along nicely, but he needs new jeans (his peepee poked out), and I need to fix the right knee on the True Type which means the issue with the knees isn't just limited to the Narrow Shouldered TTs. :monkey4

You hush your face! :lol:p

Once I'm finished I'll probably take a shot of him.

Over on The Raven there are those who swear that Medicom's Indy figures blow Sideshow out of the water in every respect. Like you, I just can't see it. Young Indy had the worst boots I've seen and completely wrong hair colour, Raiders Indy looks nothing like Harrison, his gas mask bag is like a purse, and what were they thinking with that orange whip and plastic belt and holster? Henry Sr had a plant pot on his head. KOTCS Indy had brown hair.

Medicom used to be a top name, so I don't know what happened to their design and quality control. Too bad they still like to attach top prices to their current figures.

[thenammagazine]

:tap That only happened once, I haven't seen her since, and I told you I was sorry. It's not my fault you walked in without knocking. :huh

There are a few here too. Love is blind... or they're perpetually in a drunken state and suffering beergoggles. As far as Medicom, I don't get them either. One release is nice and the next is crap. Then there's the ridiculous pricing and the fragility of their product overall. The droids they just did look awesome, but not $400 awesome. That said, I still love my Ultraman C and my Godzilla.

Finally received Medicom Mutt today (the Ebay seller was two days late sending him out).

He's actually my favourite Medicom Indy figure at the moment. Love the jacket with the working zips, the material feels right and is a good scale. The jeans are a little bulky at the waist, which is accentuated by Mutt's hollow stomach. Ive padded him out with tissue papaer.

The sculpt is a much better quality than Raiders Indy or Young Indy. The bag, skull and rapier are all nice props (though the skull has no brain matter).

So I got one of these in a trade (thanks again Avfin!) and was wondering if it were possible to transplant this figure to a slim TT. I usually don't mess with Medicom figures so any help would be great.

I'll try to take a pic tomorrow. It's actually pretty easy and ports right over. The gloves even pop into the TT wrist pegs. You'll have to boil the head to get it over the plug on the neck but once it's heated, it pops right on. I'm taking pics of Matrix (Commando) tomorrow morning to show Ski so I'll see if I can't snap a shot of Mutt on the Slim TT when I do.

EDIT: Forgot. When putting the Medi head on the HT peg, you might have to make a small incision in the back of the socket so that it fits over the peg without mushrooming the neck. I cut a slit about 1/4" toward the back and it popped on much easier than trying to force it.

[Deak Starkiller]

Thanks Nam, maybe I'll just leave it be.

[thenammagazine]

He's actually worth doing the swap if you've got the Slim already.

[Deak Starkiller]

I don't but I know the new one is coming out. Maybe then, but for now the Medicom body will do just fine. And it is my least favorite Indy movie. :lol

[minivader]

transplanting medi head to slim TT is very easy, unscrew the medi neck and rescrew it onto the TT and you are done. Though if you were thinking to use slim TT because you believe it more durable, its not. I have 3 and 2 are already broken at the knees and hip.

Is there? I only understood that there were two new TT's (ala Wesker and Blade) and a new Narrow Shouldered with a Gambit head.

I hear ya about the knees. HT won't even replace them, so you're stuck gluing the post back onto the joint (it's a pain in the *** to fix). Fortunately, it evens out the proportions realistically and you don't have to worry about the body cracking like the Medi which arrived with a broken wrist peg and then the ankle shattered and the foot came off while pulling it gently out of the boot. The problem with the Medi neck is that it's unnaturally narrow and short giving him a chicken neck. So to display well with the other Indy figures, which I believe Deak is looking to do, the swap is necessary.

[Deak Starkiller]

Oh never mind, I thought the crappy Gambit was a Slim. Foggettabouttit!

Yeah, you'd never get the clothes on a Narrow Shouldered TT. So find a Slim! :lol

[denryanj]

Just a quick FYI for completists, or anyone who was on the fence about this fig;

BBTS.com has him priced at 34.99 in clearance right now.

[Mad Old Lu]

Not bad at all. Just about what he's worth! ;)

Thanks for the heads up! Not sure I'll jump on this. I would have definitely if it was the Young Indy.

[FLOSI]

Now that's a damn sweet price. To think I thought I got a good deal at 65 last year.
