Respectfully, I don't think the discussion got out of hand, there was no name calling or anything inappropriate. This release spawned controversy... if there is anyone other than Batfreak out there who likes this figure post pictures and drown out all the 'whiners' 
. nice pics Batfreak(honestly, cool poses, great work) but I'd rather look at your Superman ones (lol sorry it's a joke, i just can't stop).
That's why the customs thread has a much more positive energy, everyone's' helping each other with tips on how to get the figure to a better place.. so at least they like it a little more than they did out of the box!
I agree with Rory's comments. Plus it's all just comments and they have a right to be said either way, positive or negative even if it's been said to death.
A lot of us who don't like it (so that's the majority of us) Still bought it anyway at least at one time and many have done custom work on it.
Also..
To the one guy who doesn't get why someone would pay 300 dollars for an Indy custom when they can get a perfectly adequate on for 250... I rest my case. Honestly, too many thinking that way not to push HT to revise. Im not okay with mediocrity too many things in my collection id weed out the crap and hang onto the gems.

Very well put, guys. Some people have been aggressive and even mean spirited in their positive Indy posts, which then just sets up an antagonistic vibe just begging for a rebuttal. As long as it's kept in a civil and respectful tone, I see no reason why we all can't say our piece, even if we have opposing views.

I've had this since it came out and have been really happy with it. Even bought an extra head and accessories to setup the map room version as well.
Anyway, don't have the greatest camera, but felt like sharing a pic.

Excellent point! I stuck to my original plan and basically bought most of the HT Indy loose parts minus the body/headsculpt and simply updated my Sideshow Indy. Also updated was the horrible Sideshow body to a Soldier Story body. HUGE difference right there.
Another excellent point! I've always been a picky buyer but have ended up weeding out several collectibles that I felt were not worth holding on to. Quality over quantity definitely has its merits.
And by the way, great photos, Bat Freak!

Can we get our money back on this one yet or no?
I recently acquired all the Indy clothes and gear minus the sculpt and body. With my new head on the way, I'll have the perfect Indy. HT did a great job with the accessories but that's about it. The way I see it, I saved ~$170 and still getting a more accurate figure. I also agree with Raymond's comment about mediocrity.

That really is the way to go! Are you going with one of the new WGP sculpts?

Looks great, Cavlcade! Great poses!
Did you repaint the head? Because it looks pretty good, especially the eyes!

I soaked mine before putting it on. That really gave it a nice natural looking hang. Sorry for the old pics:
Only in as much as removing the guyliner, adding red to the cheeks and darkening the beard, so yes I guess.
Looks great Flosi, I didn't soak my kit because I wanted to keep it box fresh. I'm sure MFishers hairspray tip would work really well too.

Thanks, Cavlcade. Yours looks absolutely fantastic!
So what technique did you use for the guyliner removal?

I scraped it off with a scalpel.... but I wouldn't recommend it. It could go wrong quite easily.

Is that the Hot Toys head? If so, how'd you mod it? It looks amazing!!!
