1/6 Sideshow 1:6 Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom

[mustang33guy]

So I opened indy up today...
I'm impressed! Still gunna weather the shirt more, but everything else looks great. The headsculpt looks very much like indy, it's not perfect, but what HS is.
The seperate hair piece has a terrible seam, and like the fedora, is held in place by a magnet.
Overall I'm happy with this figure, but as usual there are a few things that could have been done better.
Heres some pics so you can judge for yourself (with flash)

Looks good Raiders! How are the joints and articulation?

14 day notice received. Awaiting Optibotomus's review to seal the deal.

Just got my Sideshow 14 day processing notice a minute ago! Anyone else get theres?

Yep -- got mine.

Not convinced on this at all. Gonna cancel.

And why is anyone excited by the fact that Sideshow made a "tribute" to a misspelling on a VHS? Suits this effort though.

Part of me wants to pick up loose parts from this... As I sold my custom TOD Indy a few years back... yet.. I am also at a junction in this hobby where I am teetering on just selling off all of my custom work.. PFs included... Just not excited about it any more... I will say that the belt isn't half bad... Only needs a good custom holster and definitely ditch the bag strap (that is a horrendous attempt.. stitching ??)

Wow - three weeks? You must have a lot to upload.

Can you post some pics?

The bag strap looks identical to the Hasbro one.

All joints are fine. Both elbows on my one were pretty tight, but freed up eventually. I will say the machete, being made of metal, may be a little heavy for the wrist joint to hold above a horizontal postion.
On a side note, forgot to mention that indys aldens actually have laces, thought they would be part of the sculpt but apparently not, its a nice touch imo

Heres a shot of the new figure with the pf from 2011 just for the hell of it!


It makes an interesting comparison

Hey Mike, will you be doing custom packages for sale on this again

 

[bmarz1000]

I have NO idea where they came up with that strap. His strap was brown, thin and had no stitching. Also, it had a silver roller buckle. That literally looks like something from a Mattel toy.

Got this today and love it. It has it's faults, but what doesn't. Ask the missus.............................

Fedora it comes with is actually not bad at all. I was just shaving some off the MJ sculpt, and it will fit, so at some point i'll post a pic up. But i really like this look. It's the MJ Fedora.

Looks good. What about the Sideshow hat on MJ's sculpt?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

That hat looks good, Ebeneezer. So that's NOT the hat it came with? And what is the "MJ" fedora?

 

[matj007]

It's just a shame that you have to make all these modifications in order to make it look decent. I was hoping to use the figure as a 'generic' Indy by basically just throwing a jacket on it, but my disappointment in the final product has meant I've had to go the custom route, which I didn't really want to do. You shouldn't have to make radical changes to a figure that costs $230 to make it look acceptable.

How are the overall joints on him, are they flimsy like g.i.joes of the past or more solid like the SSC batman

Have to be later or even tomorrow mate. I only really had time to give it some quick water and swap the bag, holster (not really worth doing).

I'll have another play later.
