Yeah, I think its mostly the face. I don't collect the VCD, but think they are fun... but this one looks like a Disney character more than Indy.

That is THE BEST Indy collectible I have ever seen. I am buying 2 at the first chance I get.
You CAN NOT call yourself an Indy fan if you don't like this VCD.

Yeah, I DO hate all of the super-deformed VCDs. In fact, I'm shocked to actually like some of the Mighty Muggs (though I know they're technically a different "genre" of collectible).
I just don't get a sense of Indy from this item. At all. In fact, every time I look at it my first instinct is "Woody" from TOY STORY.
Plus, it will be $60-$70 or some such ridiculous price. Easy pass.
Same feeling here. The VCD line is usually ok to me, I appreciate the artistry in it. I would never buy them... but I understand the appeal in a way. But this one just doesn't have that Indy vibe, it doesn't even look like a caricature of Indy... none of the defining characteristics seem to be there facially. The costume seems ok, not perfect.. but ok.
But a dud for sure, none of the same artistic values that saved some of the other releases so far...

I like the VCD line, but I don't care for this one in particular. The chin doesn't quite look right to me.

The thing I don't like about it is that it's not deformed enough - still recognisably human. I like Mighty Muggs and Kubricks because they smooth out human features, sticking them to a basic template, and therefore offering something completely different from 3 3/4" action figures and 1/6 scale figures. Adventure Heroes do the same to a lesser extent - they're individually sculpted but always in exactly the same way (same stance, same kind of face). Here the face is actually sculpted to look like an individual face, and I just find it a bit boring.
BTW anyone know when the Kubrick Indy is coming out?

I AM an Indy fan, and I DON'T like this VCD...
I'm sorry to break it to you, you are no longer an Indy fan. Sorry.

How about a 400% Indy Kubrick?
You know... cute deformed figures work great with some characters...but with Indy, not so much IMO...

The Indy VCD was canceled by Medicom... not enough interest I guess...
