Medicom Indy VCD!!!

I just found this at : https://www.throwmetheidol.com/

The fine folks over at Medicom have released photos of an upcoming limited VCD Indiana Jones. Limited to only 2,008 pieces.

No word as to whether it will be available through their North American partner Sideshow. We'll post more as soon as we know.

Yikes....I don't like it at all...

Wow, very interesting! I might get this. Obviously you have to like the "super deformed" style, but I think it's very well done and captures the essence of Ford better than a lot of the realistic pieces out there. I like this SOOOOO much better than the Panson Works figures:



And I think I like it better than the Mighty Mugg as well:



I just hope they make a Henry Jones Sr. as well!

The mighty mug looks more like indy than that VDC does.

Better picture here:



They also have a 400% Be@rbrick "golden idol" to go with the Indiana Jones Kubrick/Be@rbrick set:

Oh I love the Superdeformed figures, I have pretty much all of the SW ones, but I don't know, somehow it doesn't work for me in humans, robots and guys with helmet look awesome, Indy, not so much.
I like the 'cute"-"funny" look of Cosbabys, Superdeformed, etc on some figures, but on humans, looks rather creepy an even Kitschy....

I can understand that, and I agree that it's not as immediately appealing as something like the VCD C3PO. I think that's probably why Medicom has taken so long to branch out into more human figures, but I still like it.

NOT A FAN.......

I like the VCD style but this Indy figure looks bad IMO.

It's missing something.

I prefer the Mighty Mugg way over this.

I forgot to comment, I hate Bearbricks, I'm all for Designer toys, but this one...ughh!!!

He just looks goony... the SW characters so far have translated well to the VCD format, but Indy just looks bad. Maybe its that his costume is so much more complicated.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this one although I will be getting the 100% version because it comes with the Indy Kubrick.

Horrible.

Not sure about the hate I'm hearing for this figure. Is it the face? The oversized hands and feet are characteristics of the entire VCD line, and I think the outfit looks well done, so unless you hate all of the super deformed VCDs, the face seems like the only real point of contention.

Yeah, I DO hate all of the super-deformed VCDs. In fact, I'm shocked to actually like some of the Mighty Muggs (though I know they're technically a different "genre" of collectible).

I just don't get a sense of Indy from this item. At all. In fact, every time I look at it my first instinct is "Woody" from TOY STORY.

Plus, it will be $60-$70 or some such ridiculous price. Easy pass.

That's cool, but if that's the case, this obviously won't be for you.

It's cute, just not my thing.

I think its the face thats off for sure very long and boxy.Plus why is Indy clean shaven?

The face IS what's wrong.

The rest of the figure looks great for a VCD.
