HT DX05 - Indiana Jones - in-hand images

[andres1wacko78]

I was not sure at the beginning with this figure, but he's Ford, no doubt. I just gave some colour to his face and chest with pastels and removed the guy-liner.

This looks perfect. I like the subtlety. Did you seal it afterward? Do you take commissions by chance?

Some more,

Mola Ram!

Molaram, sudaram, molaram, sudaram. Fantastic Guyver1, I think also that is a great body for him

Nice display Dollmanron

My contribution to the SS v HT comparison... both fresh out of the box (except HT has Sov jacket)...

I know at first glance the SS one looks weak, however, I still think the bag strap and the pants and the color of the shoes is better. I also think the unique shape of the hat is way better than HT. That said, HT whoops pretty much everything else.

Indy...now let's get out of here
Right!...All of Us!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's a great pic of the sculpt, guyver!

I think the Sideshows head/body ratio is much better than the Hot Toys. But oh well. Everybody hates the Sideshow version for reasons we can agree and disagree on.

Thanks for posting that comparison, Wor. Honestly they both have their pluses and minuses. When comparing the two, Sideshow's head looks a bit too big. But HT's looks a bit too small. And the clothes on HT's fits a little better than the clothes on Sideshow's, but not by much--HT's shirt looks too big.

But overall, yeah, HTs does look better.

So true, but this is why I have a problem with the SSC pro!

Thought I'd try this while I'm messing around with the HT and SS...

SS head on HT geared body...

Doesn't really look half bad, I never would have thought...

Maybe...Hmm

I think the SS head looks way too big on the HT body if you're going to display it in TOD mode like that. It does look more proportioned when the jacket and shirt is on the body though.

It is an oddity. I would not have thought the SS head would look that good on the HT body. I'm back to considering a repaint on the SS head

 

[siquisiri]

What the hell us goin on here? How come the sst head on the ht body looks so,good?

 

[Sachiel]

Because of shadows and stuff.

 

[Cavlcade]

That does look very nice. Are you using a neck post when you do that or are you just putting the head over the neck?

 

[guyver1]

Decided to redux this shot using a flash, I marvel at the HT sculpt after the right revisions, it's stunning to me.

I know, weird, huh?

It's not shadows either because in hand I can see that it looks pretty dang good. Needs a repaint, but scale and look and the hat all mesh very well with the HT stuff.

Can't say I'm happy about it, but I thought I'd share.

No ball connector, the SS head is just pushed down on the HT neck -- both have ball connectors but I'm not sure if there's any issues there or not. Looks like it would work fine.

Here's some compares with color desaturated or adjusted to help visualize...

For those that love their SS, this is proof that a few HT parts could really improve your fig. For those happy with HT, he does look excellent of course. For those who like to bash the best parts... this may be an option.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

That is crazy! The larger SS head even helps with the HT shirt looking too big. Now with the SS head the HT shirt looks okay. I guess it's seeing the collar in relation to the head.

 

[FlyAndFight]

The HT head is in a slightly smaller scale. It's like how they draw comic book superheroes with slightly smaller noggins. The SS noggin looks amazing on the HT body.
