Indiana Jones - Pursuit of the Ark statue

[CollectorNC]

It's a museum style curio cabinet. It's the only thing I could find that would fit pieces that large, aside from IKEA's products. And I really don't care for the look of Bestas or Detolfs.

Mind me asking where you found it? Like Indy on a quest for an artifact, I've gone to every furniture store around and nothing for 1/4 scale stuff. Detolfs are too flimsy for 1/4 in my opinion.

56/150 is in the HOUSE!

Looks great, nothing is broken and the base seems fine! Only thing is the bottom sticker doesnt seem to be attached very well!

Pictures to come!

I swear, I would just give the whole thing a faux bronze effect... knock out all those paint issues... class it up a bit... lessen any sculpting let downs... I wish it were perfect, but that doesn't seem to be a priority with indy anymore...

sad...

My exclusive arrived with several pieces broken off. Asked for a replacement. And the paintjob? WORST EVER.

I ordered it online and had it delivered. I ran into the same issues as you. I couldn't find a store anywhere that sold anything that big. And I was told by several folks at furniture stores that they generally don't carry large curios, except for around the holidays. I guess that's the time of year that they sell fairly well.

Do you have a link or something. PM if you don't want to post. I need something for 1/4 statues bad. How many 1/4 can you fit in that thing?

That set up looks awesome! Love that Kermit!

 

[Full Art Alchemist]

Absolutely. Nice set up, both Indy and Kermit look great there!

rnbuda, great set up, congrats man!

 

[budafett]

Thanks Guys! I'll be going to IKEA this weekend. Indiana will fit in a BESTA BUT it needs to be able to have the height clearance.


I'm very pleased how this came out! The sculpt and paint are excellent on mine and no broken pieces. I'll take more pictures and post a small review this week!

I'm kind of nervous about opening mine when I get home on Thursday. lol

Yeah, I was never as nervous as I was with my Indy statue!

I mean if my base ever starts to crack, I'll just have it repainted. Much better than my Raiders PF statue jacket peeling with no fix!

 

[IrishJedi]

Nervous about the reports of cracking, broken pieces and shoddy paint work.

If it makes you feel better, my Jones is painted very well and the detail is incredible and the painting on the horse came out very well. The base is the easiest piece to repaint in my opinion but luckily for me I don't have any issues.

 

[IrishJedi]

That does ease my anxiety a bit, thanks.

Crossing fingers until Thursday evening....

 

[budafett]

Yeah, fingers crossed!

Speaking of Indy, Harrison Ford looked great last night at the Oscars!

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, he did. Even if he was clearly stoned out of his mind. lol

 

[budafett]

He really wanted pizza!

After attending hundreds of those award shows you'd probably light up also.

He was LOVING that slice!!!
