It may be one of the worst, but it's not like it's from 2007.
Will try the push-down with the head.
And yeah, this is pretty good work from SSC, sculpt and paint...

That damn seam 
Oh well was only gonna pose him with his hat on anyway.

It's pretty harsh light so makes it looks more prominent, but yeah looks like something went wrong with that seam. HT is able to hide those reasonably well - but this one is like the SSC Tauntaun.
Fortunately the hat's on nearly all the time (especially because the paint app is very scene specific,) but a hatless "Kali-Ma!" type pose would have been cool.
It's one thing that SSC has truly cheaped out on with this guy - the extra head. Both Han and Luke Hoth had extra heads yet this fig and Luke X, for $40 more, they don't do it for. Really unfortunate, and then they go ahead and totally screw up the hair seam.
Raiders March
I shouldn't have bought that!
Another angle:
SS TOD Indy with lowered head; HT DX05 gun belt and holster; SS ROTLA gas mask bag.
DX05 with Vigilante Collectibles leather gun belt and tea-weathered holster.
Looking good kuat! When you gonna colour ToD indys bag strap?

Observing this hobby over the years, I'm guessing that one of the main costs of producing is painting. If you compare HT to many others from NECA to Hasbro, the biggest difference is the paint apps and price. Cost of casting is probably minimal but for ever piece produced, paint is required. The paint on this head is fantastic compared to thier past figures and i feel holds it's own again HT and others. Based on those, I'm guessing a second head would make the price out of reach for collectors.

Ugh...that seam is lazy and unacceptable for a figure at this price......
i wonder if you heat the head and tighten the seem and put it under cold water , if that will help seal it closer? he looks awesome with the little mods. get mine tuesday!

Maybe next time I have a cup of tea.
Hmmm. Tea didn't take to the SS ROTLA bag strap. Maybe it's not leather, even though it looks genuine like the straps SS used to use for rifles.
So I dug out my old wargames paints. Was out of dark brown acrylic but found a pot of brown ink wash. Seems to have done the trick. The added bonus of ink wash is that it has a shinier finish that replicates leather.

hi, been noting down tips about the figure, posing and light mods.
As always, thank you guys.
I have no Indy, and this will be my first.
I was wondering about the MJ Choi Hat sculpt posted before:
is it possible to get that hat? the MJ hat sculpt?

Mine's had too dark of a mustache which messed up the likeness. I ended up erasing the mustache and some of the beard. I'm sure with a good repaint, there's a hidden gem in there.

How did you end up lightening the mustache on yours?

I used an actual eraser, lol. Which if not careful, can mess up the paint job.

Lol wow glad to know all of our figures are so permanent haha
no but that's good to know there is a low budget easy fix if your carefulUnder the harsh lighting and no stubble he starts to have a slight Tom Hanks vibe there. Weird - haven't seen it in any other pic.
