Well, to be fair this is based on the maquette gifts Spielberg gave to select members of the crew of the original film. Here's an original that went for auction on PropStore a little while ago.

This looks amazing. Reviews are starting to turn up on this: Not so great on the mirrored base with some inconsistent quality though:

I intended to get this figure until I saw this photo and realised I really would prefer a Dune Part Two figure, so I guess I'll wait for nothing.

My beloved Tamashii suddenly looks like a Bobblehead! Great comparison, Matrix. HT have done so well. Glad I preordered this.

Too epic to pass up.

It will have amazing presence in anyone's collection but I'm relieved this is so high priced (over $5000 in Australia) and the likeness so uncanny valley I can happily pass without regret. Makes it easier to order HT's old man Indy now! :)

Congrats guys! I preordered with Popcultcha a year ago but haven't received any notifications at all. Argh!

Frost River's lawsuit will sell a lot of backpacks. What great advertising. Usually it's a trawl through the internet to find a match. I'd never heard of Frost River but now thinking of getting one because it's Indy-gear. I don't think Hot Toys will have to change much on the 1/6 scale Indy...

For your reference, here are some photos of the original filming miniature built by Industrial Light & Magic. Shows grey speckles on the miniature and interesting to see the original mechanism for the hover converted wheels.

So much of this hobby is about waiting. My DX19 is finally on the way. Question: should I get the Bat-Pod as well? I wasn't going to, but I have the space... is it worth it?

I think that looks freaking amazing, TonTon. If I can get mine to look like that I'll be happy.

TonTon's and the filming miniature. Better than I thought it would be actually.

Along with what Hando was saying, I like it as a general representation of a Jawa rather than scene/film specific- HT never said this is 'Bob, the one that blasts R2' There are too many of the little guys for me to just want a specific Jawa. I'm also fine with the Gonk- it's a big galaxy-...

I also prefer the HT Jawa. The colour is consistent with their appearance after ANH was filmed.

I plan to get Spock from this line as my one and only Star Trek figure. Maybe Kirk if I can. My collection is weighted towards the 1980s and this era is my favourite of all Star Trek. (Is that a controversial opinion?)
