1/6 Sideshow 1:6 Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom

Old pic....posting before I delete

I just bought DOM Indy from BBTS. the sculpt is fantastic in my opinion! the hat though..if anyone has a DX05 fedora I'm looking ha!

so my figure has the left shoulder issue.. I carefully opened him up, and indeed found it to be broken. being that I'm impatient i decided to fix it myself..

I started my removing the rubber chest. you have to cut a straight line down side, but the thickness is enough where re-gluing will not be an issue. the rubber chest is also lightly glued in the middle of the front and back, hairdrier heat takes care of that.











the rest is easy using some high power glue i just reattached it. I do lose a little movement since it is now in a fixed position but the pose I plan to leave him in doesn't really require it..

Shouldn't have had to go through the trouble. BBTS would have exchanged it if it arrived broken.

Is this figure worth it? BBts still has it available

Yes, yes and yes. Its a great figure, has more good points than bad. Can't wait to put mine back on display soon. (Moved house)

Dang I waited too long to decide. BBTS just sold out :-O

It's a cool toy for sure and as a major TOD fan it'd be a prized item for me. Wont be easy for me to afford but there's some collectible shops where I live that might be able to occasionally receive it. I know TOD isn't the most beloved of the series but it's always been my favorite of the series (as well as my favorite version of Indy), so anything pertaining to it would definitely be sought by me.

Probably the best Mass produced Indy so far. Debatable even with the HT DX05. Definitely has a better likeness sculpt for sure.

I agree; it’s my favorite Indy “out of the box”. All I did was replace the “mattel-quality” bagstrap with one of Mike Fishers and use a HT DX hat. Sound as a pound.

I’m looking for a DX Fedora for my Sideshow TOD Indy. Don’t want to infringe on anyone else’s offers or request out there but if anyone can help me out give me a shout.

Thanks!

I have a fedora. Shoot me a PM

Got mine from BBTS, right out of the box, I took the shirt off and soaked it and then refitted in the figure and began to dry it. Which fixed the “flared” collar and brought the shirt forward and down instead of pulling back on the figure. I finally weathered the shirt and pants. For being so ripped up as they appear in the movie - Sideshow’s version here is way too pristine. I repainted the blood lashes on the back of the shirt giving a slight wet look at the impact/cut sites, and finally did a sweat stains application on the shirt around collar, front, back, and arm pits. Such a great figure in hand. Glad I pulled the trigger on this.

Before:

After:



Couple extra... Pants weathered and “skin” in the hole on the knee has painted wound area.

All put together -

That looks great! ^^

Here's a couple new shots of mine - no mods or anything.





I wish Sideshow would re-visit Indy one last time with a TLC version. The quality jump between the original and this TOD one was fantastic...one can only hope and imagine the leap forward with a new TLC version.

Sweet shots, JB!

Yeah, Jedibear - you are really becoming one of the best photographers on here.

What's "high power glue"?

In areas like joints I'm always seeing if there's something that can handle it beyond superglue.
