Check this garbage out! (DST Indy)

Sometimes you just need to take a step back from discussions about accuracy and be thankful for what you've got. This will help:

Gotta love the freshly washed and neatly pressed clothes of this adventurer. Who knew that Indy took his Mom along on his expeditions?

Re: Check this garbage out!

I don't know if it's garbage or not. It's the 1/4 scale equivalent of a Hasbro figure, with a price to match. I guess there may be some people to whom this would appeal, although I'm not sure who exactly.

Popeye Doyle is going to want his hat back.

Re: Check this garbage out!

Meh...Not impressed with that one at all.

Re: Check this garbage out!

I love Art Asylum--I think Minimates are the greatest toys ever made--but I don't get these at all. They are also doing 1/4 scale Star Wars figures that look like this. I doubt they will be released at retail, and I don't see people picking these up in comic shops, so .

Re: Check this garbage out!

Get rid of that hat and repaint the face you might be surprised?

Re: Check this garbage out!

Isn't this the Diamond Select Toys "Ultimate Indiana Jones"? If so, keep in mind that it's 1/4 scale, talks, and will be less than $70. The DST figures (including the SW ones) will also be carried at Toys R Us stores.

Not really a direct comparison to the high-end stuff.

Re: Check this garbage out!

While I do think that these suck, I think LFL needs to reign in some of these licenses a little bit. Stopping giving every Tom, ^^^^, and Harry the ability to create SW merchandise. Also WTF Art Asylum, you guys are better than this, right?

edit: We can't say D!ck? I guess I meant Richard.

But I would say this is worse than Hasbro's 12" figures. At least they're a kind of caricature of Harrison Ford; this looks like an action figure of an IT manager who's going to a fancy dress party in an Indiana Jones costume.

Re: Check this garbage out!

Eh. It's not THAT bad. You need to refresh your memory of Hasbro's 12" Talking Indy:

It is garbage. The Hasbro looks superior to it.

It is hilarious. It's also creepy and disturbing on a number of levels.

Re: Check this garbage out!

He ment this one....which IS better.

Re: Check this garbage out!

Yea, for $20 bucks that's a great figure that kids can play with. The shoes at least have a great sculpt, just weather em.

Re: Check this garbage out!

I may end up using the cloths I have for a KOTCS Indy. The boots are great, like you said.

Re: Check this garbage out!

Yeah, for $20 the whipping Indy is actually pretty nice. It's too bad that it has that stupid "whipping action" body.

Hmmm .....


How about at least the zipper is somewhat in scale?


Just trying to say something nice.

I would buy it for $30 or so. Nothing more.

I'm wondering though---does he even come with a satchel?

I think all they need do is change the hat color and give it some slightly different clothes and -- viola! -- the world's first Witness action figure.
