This is cool. Although unless it was Americanized since the events of Temple of Doom, I believe the sergeant's name should be spelled Li. I loved the "step where I step and don't touch anything" line. Can't wait to see Indy pop up in this.
 
that is intense lol

Thanks for checking it out! Much appreciated.

:) Thanks very much.

I do think that many Chinese immigrants Americanized/Anglicized their names as "Lee." Particularly for old timey generations in the forties. That was my high school Chinese teacher's name, at any rate, even though it's more properly spelled "Li".

Really appreciate the comments!

Indy will appear in Chapter 2, which I'll post at the end of the week.

:)
 
My family Americanized the pronunciation of our German last name during WWI so makes sense! Is this already finished or are you making it up as you go? What programs did you use to make this? Seems like a fun way to use action figures.
 
This is insanely cool. And I like how you have Army Indy his MK VII bag (and I assume the whip, too?). I did the same with my custom WW2 Indy figure. :)

Chapter 2 is completely done and will be posted later in the week. The rest hasn't been shot yet. I am anticipating 4-5 chapters total.

I have the broad strokes of the story mapped out in my head. know exactly what's going to happen in Chapter 3. However, I am still pinning down a few details near the end - although I know what the very end is going to be and will be working towards it. The uncertainly mostly surrounds a few action sequences late in the story, but I know all the major story turns.

Used photoshop for the editing and special effects.

Seems like a fun way to use action figures.

Hey, if you like action figure stories, let me direct your attention to this amazing website -

https://www.photonovelalliance.com

Which has archived tons of terrific (Star Wars) action figure stories. I've been involved over the past year helping the site owner find and upload some rare and forgotten gems. I have a story myself there called "Aayla Secura: Resurrection" which I'm reasonably proud of.

Thanks again for your comments, much appreciated!!

Yeah, the whip is there, too, but take another look - it's not Indy!

WW2 Indy will appear in the second chapter!

:)

Thanks!!
 
Lance no matter how many times I look at the two chapters you have done I always notice something different. Awesome work buddy and I can't wait to see chapter 3.

Ron


Thanks again, Ron! Your continued support and enthusiasm is extremely appreciated!

Without you, quite literally, this project wouldn't exist.

:D
 
Excellent! And insanely ambitious! Mine was maybe half a dozen photos long, ha ha ha.

And how's this for unlikely:

My entry also utilized that Storm Shadow head as an adult Wan Li. No joke.

When will the winner be announced, Ron?

Awesome!!! That is fantastic!!! Glad to see I'm not the only Short Round fan around here.

Can't wait to see your work!!! I hope Ed gets to posting the other entries ASAP! He did say in the last podcast that they would be posted "soon", so I'm keeping my eye on the Indycast page and Facebook page....

Thanks for reading and commenting, much appreciated! Looking forward to seeing your story!
 
Thanks; until I saw yours I assumed we weren't supposed to share our stories until the contest results were shared. Maybe I'll post mine somewhere.

In the meantime, yeah, I'm a huge fan of Shorty. Here's a short essay I wrote about him on my long-abandoned blog:

I was disappointed that there was no Short Round cameo in Crystal Skull.

I cleared it with Ron and Ed ahead of time and waited until the entry deadline had passed.

It was a CRIME that he wasn't in the wedding scene, a CRIME I tells ya!

Cool, I'll be sure to check out your essay!
