Hi Everyone,
Sideshow Indy is my only 12" figure, and while I can actually live with his wobbly neck, I don't like how thin his legs and lower torso are.
What were the limitations of the Buck? People seem to HATE that thing; what was so bad about it?
Is the TT better than the Soldier? If so, how so?
I have read that using the TT body requires one to trim the forearm, but I'm a total spaz when it comes to customizing; is this a complicated procedure? How likely am I to screw it up?
Also, the only thing I actively hate about the 12" Sideshow Indy is his neck joint and his wrist joints; they shatter the illusion completely. Do any of the other body options boasts less jarring neck or wrist joints?
Finally, I know there are people here who somehow sculpt new necks onto these things; how does that work, and how much does it cost, and how durable is it afterward? 'Cause I try to be gentle with my figures and all, but I am not content to leave the figure on a shelf. I subject my figures to the outdoors on a routine basis:
I'd like to do whatever it takes to make my Indy be the definitive Indy, but I'd prefer not to sacrifice durability and posability.
Thanks for your time, folks. I realize these questions have probably all come up dozens of times, but digging through all the threads to compile the answers to each of them would require more free time than this weary school teacher has.
Any help you can offer will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Monte
