My CM T-800 is simply stunning.
But i have to agree that CM really struggle with human faces. I really want the Indy CM with Ford signed COA, but the face and price increase scream NO!
The Sideshow Indy PF appears the way to go.
I havn't given up on CM, the Alien is currently on order. But Sideshow are currently delivering at a higher standard at a lower price bracket.
More Sideshow for me.

I think Heath said in chat that it was just around the corner. So I'm thinking well before SDCC.

Probably around the time of the movies' release I would assume.

That'll be great news.
Before then, I think. I actually expect to see the first PF announced within the next month or two.

Well two months from now would be late April, which qualifies for close to the film's release.

I actually like the sideshow headsculpt more. Nevertheless, the pose is unique and the fact that all this Indy merchandise is finally being made is a great thing. Maybe not to my pocketbook, but decades without decent attainable toys has been rough.
I'm quite sure that Sideshows Premium Format will look better.
The face bothers me on the CM.
The face bothers me on the CM.
Ford has bluish-greenish-grayish eyes. Very hard to capture in paint, especially since they actually appear to change colors depending on the lighting. The problem is, a lot of licensees go with the bright blue for whatever reason... and it just comes out looking off. His eyes are not that bright and very rarely look that blue.
This happens a lot, actually. Remember the first Han figure prototype paint apps from Sideshow?
The CM likeness would look better, imho, if they toned down the eye color a bit. It's throwing it off even more.

facially kinda similar
Here are some pics from Comicon '06. I forgot how much better it looked.
Man, it did look SO much better then. What happened??? Lucasfilm Licensing, I bet. :emperor

That's true. I once did a painting of Indiana Jones and had no idea what to color the eyes! I ended up mixing brown with green.
In RAIDERS Ford's eyes look bluish-grey, and sometimes green, but in STAR WARS, Ford has brown eyes.

he looks NOTHING like harrison.
I can see him in the ComicCon prototype, but still, it leaves too much to be desired.
I'm sure the PF will easily beat this.

Yeah, I think the original CM shown at SDCC '06 was pretty amazing.
It looks considerably less like Ford now though, in almost every way.
