I don't know, works well on the Wolverine... I wonder if maybe they are limited to what they can buy from manufactures. Maybe they can't get silver ones in a smaller size?

I do like that more but is something that I think will be fixed or easily fixed by us.

Wolverine has a nylon zipper, the steel zippers can't be made that small. Why they think they need a zipper at all - did Indy ever zip up his jacket?
Not that I recall as far as action scenes. He may have in a few none action ones though.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification Dave.
And no, I can't remember any scenes were the jacket is zipped up. Especially if you are looking for iconic scenes.

$177, ouch. 
As much as I'm digging Medi Indy, that price tag means it'll be Sideshow only for me. Love to have both, but even if SSC does distribute it, it's still gonna be over $150 at other retailers and that's just too damn much.

Wow, if that's their new price then they can count me out for sure. I already thought MEdicom was too expensive, now I know for sure.
$177?? Is that a joke?

That would be unfortunate if that was a new base price... still not 100% sure of that since they've had figures range from $100 to $200 for awhile now. The Marvel figures were $99.99. I couldn't imagine a jump of $80 in about 1 year.
I could see it being the new price. Medicom has always been the most expensive of all the companies and now maybe they think they can push their price up there because their product is more in demand. Whatever it is, I am not buying it. I bought their two Fett figures for retail and felt pretty ripped off- swore I would never do it again. Especially since you can usually find their figures for less on ebay.

I agree, typically if I can get a MEdicom figure for under $100 I feel good about it (so far Fett $90, Vader $90, Luke $85, Ghost Rider $70). Seems that most figures anymore drop in price, even HT seems to be doing that as well.

If it weren't for the price tag I'd definately consider picking up a Dr. Jones, but at that price I'll just take my chances on Sideshow doing one eventually.

Sideshow will definitely make a Henry Sr. And my guess is it will come with everything the Medicom one does, plus a cloth hat, open umbrella and will absolutely have his Grail Diary.
It can't just be that. The U.S. dollar not worth 20% less than it was when Medicom figures were $149 domestically.That is the state of the US dollar.

Can prices like these, not just Medi but SS and HT, eventually kill the 1/6 market?

Yen to Dollar doesn't seem all that different than in the past... usually about 100 Yen to 1 dollar.
I think they MSRP in yen has also gone up.

That very easily could be the case. I mean the higher we go the more people will say I'll just collect Dio's or PF's.

If the trend continues it would eventually. The market for 1/6 is way tighter than it used to be due to the raising costs and lower demand. I think we'll continue to see higher prices and more of a niche market. It will probably go on for a long time like this, but maybe eventually if things don't level out we'll see them go the way of the dinosaur and giant Shogun Warriors.
