Good question....
Sideshow's had weak paint apps and a floppy body. That said, it's strongpoints were the sculpt which has the best Ford likeness to date, wardrobe (I don't mind the jacket as while it's not leather, it pulls off the look) and the accessories, for $90.
Medicom's was good if you dig the stylized look. Overall though, it was laughable and looked like Indy had spent some time at Auschwitz and when he was released, they handed him an orange licorice rope to use as a whip. All for $180. That said, they got the wardrobe and hat a hell of a lot closer than Hot Toys.
Toys McCoy was expensive as all hell, coming in at around $300. Especially being released over a decade ago. But for it's time, it was the grail and still fetches a fair price on ebay. The wardrobe and accessories are especially nice given the time when this was released.
And based on that, the answer will always be subjective.
Well put, a good overview. For me, the only solution is to get them all
First I got Medicom's, of Sideshow's I got only the headsculpt for the time being and recently I acquired Toys McCoy's Indy - great figure, even for nowadays. Now I am looking forward to Hot Toys' piece 
Yep, got me a McCoys Indy long ago and he's still pristine in the box... beautiful display. I've got a custom Indy that has satisfied my shelf needs for a long time too. No Medicom for me, but of course I have the Sideshow one. Really wanted the HT... we'll see come SDCC.
My gut is: HT is letting it go like SS did. Just no market for Indy except for us few oddballs I guess.

If your around 30 and grew up with him you do not need to be a oddball... A decent indy has been my dream since I started this hobby, I really hope HT delivers.
SERIOUS?! 
That is very hopeful! I can't wait!

I think we've learnt by now to take any unsubstantiated information with a very large pinch of salt, well, more a truckload than a pinch!
We just have to sit tight
CHEERS!

Yeah, there's a spark enough to restart mi corazon
and I'm more hopeful hearing it from a 5,000 + poster, than someone with only 3 or 4

IF the revised Indy is at the level of the new BB Bats, including the clothing and accessories, then I will scrape every penny I can find to get this.
Otherwise, still a pass for me.

I wonder if the outfit (mainly jacket) and accessories (gun rig and whip) are getting any revision.

They really better, including the damn hat. It's a combination of all those things, plus the biggie of the bad headsculpt, that made me pass on this without a second thought. But if they can manage to get a perfect (and I mean PERFECT) HF sculpt like they did with Bale, AND fix the hat, jacket, shirt, shoes, gun rig and whip (at least the pants look good!
), then I'll be more than happy to pay that ridiculous price. There are just too many things deficient right now for me to justify the high price. I mean really. For $250 I shouldn't have to shell out even more money to improve this figure.The overly buff body still bothers me, but I don't see them changing that.

As someone else said "pics or it didn't happen", where has this info come from ?, it'll only be excellent news when there is enough meat on the bone to back up Gruson's post.
By the way....... Arnie Kim popped round to my place for a cup of tea last night & told me that the resculpt is so amazing it has started doing public appearances on Harrison Fords behalf.
(everyone fancy getting exited now ?

I'm sure Hot Toys is tweaking the sculpt. The question is: how extensively? And WILL we see it before it starts to ship out? Spidey went through some revisions and we didn't know about it til we saw in-hand pics. If SDCC and those other Toy Fairs weren't happening right now, I would have guessed we would not see anything til it shipped. But with these events, there is ample opportunity to show off the revised Indy.
