I went ahead and ordered one. Whether I keep it or not will depend on whether they improve it a bit. I don't have a problem with anything other than the paint job. I have till the 4th quarter to decide on keeping him.

Technically its fine or on par, but just I don't see it as an "attractive" item. I really don't see how anyone would want this when there are so many other cooler SSC products out there that makes me go "sweet" or "yeah cool". Can't believe there is a market for a $275+ statue of a sad and decrepid looking Indy. Doesn't even have an aire of the character's former awesomeness. Just looks like a sad old hasbeen, which even the (bad) film didn't necessarily leave me with. Kinda betrays the character to me.

Well Ex size of "300" and that includes people that will cancel.
Its clear this item is relatively unpopular.

Good question. Why not the crystal skull?

It's the gold mask of Francisco de Orellana a Spanish Conquistador. He was looking for El Dorado and found the Crystal Skull of Akator.
Indy discovers the Mask in his tomb when searching for the Skull.

IJ posted that Sideshow's deal with LFL and Best Buy prohibits them from producing a Crystal Skull in 1/4 scale other than the piece that was included in the DVD pack.

Sideshow should consider using the painting techniques from the guys at HOT TOYS..At least for their PF'S....Recent paint techniques and applications looked cheap on certain of their last PF's IMO.It was nice, 4-5 years ago,but it seems Sideshow has problem adjusting to new techniques or Cant seem to keep themselves ahead of the curve in their discipline....or are they just too lazyCause, indeed the sculpt of this is a masterpiece...but painted it looks like ..well, not good.

completely agree. Was just talking about this with a friend on msn.
Seems with sideshow being so popular now and not having much competetion in this area they think its ok to not do there best.
That kind of sucks...
IrishJedi also posted that KOTCS Indy is wearing the EXACT same outfit of the Raiders PF, which he clearly isn't.

I'm sure this goes without saying but is the skull that comes with the DVD truly 1/4 scale? I might have to go buy the set if it is.

I had to pass. I just am not feeling it. Something is off with the nose in some of those pics. I was not a fan of the movie much, either.

Yeah, it was the only place I could think of to put it in my display; and I was hoping to somehow aquire the "mcguffins" from the rest of the series.
