That base really makes this piece pop.
I've always wanted one too, but it will be too rich for my blood.![]()
Oh maaaan...time to take out a mortgage on the love shack!
His is more accurate, its complicated, but there were basically a few idols, the one on the pedastal which has realistic looking fake eyes, the one that Belloq holds upto the Hovitos which is all gold like his and mine, and the 3rd was rubber for stunts like throwing it across the chasm to Satipo.
The idols in Lucas Archives were dropped and broken. THey needed to be repaired and inaccuracies came from that repair. Yet they are the "offical Lucas ones" so companies still use them for referance and end up with a non screen accurate product.
Sideshow's is inaccurate because it should have the real looking eyes if their giving it that style mouth corners. The version sideshow is doing also was not real gold in the movie, and the head seperated and opened to allow access to the eyes.
The all gold version that they are trying to do here, should have a hair line, and rounded mouth corners. It is also vaccumetalized not gold plated, so this technically has 3-4 major inaccuracies to it.
Well, it sounds like it's kind of an amalgamation of all the different idols, then. Works for me! Now let's talk price...
Again, at least $400 IMO. Polystone base is just as big if not bigger then the one which came with Belloq and that was like $120 right?
Then the idol, if thats polystone, then at least another $150, plus depending what kind of gold and process is used to apply it to the idol. I'm thinking $399 at the least, and not worth over $599. But I dont think you can plate polystone?
BTW this babys not haning out on any detolf, that idols going to be HEAVY.
This looks nice, but it will be overpriced. I will get one if I can do it cheaply.
