I'd say there's a decent chance for an updated Henry Sr as well (given what a memorable character he was and the fact that, oh yeah, it's freakin Sean Connery), but anything beyond that is probably unlikely.

The old SSC Henry is pretty damn good - actually one of SSC's best-ever figures. Swap out the bow-tie with the cloth Medi one and you've got a figure that pretty much holds its own today. I got it off eBay for about $50 from memory - any updated Henry would be in the $250 range.

It's the other side of this problem - ANY new Indy-universe fig will be over $250. I mean if Indy figs didn't sell at $60-90, what chance do they have at $250?

Maybe a reissued Henry head would be good - The TOD headsize is a big drawback for me because I want a pretty vast Indy display with maybe 15 characters, and some of those have the older, bigger SSC heads (the SSC Henry head has to be 20-30% larger than the SSC TOD head.)

Who the hell is trying to get $550 for an Inigou V1 sculpt?!! It's worth $200 max!!! Bonkers!!

No more parted out heads on TA. They seem to move pretty fast. I wonder if they'll offer them again now he's sold out at sideshow?

I will have an SS TOD head for sale soon, if anyone is interested? How much were they going for on TA?

zeiss · Jul 3, 2016

They were $65

I got so impatient waiting for a TOD head sculpt on TA I just bought a second full figure.

Mine was $40 (or maybe $45 - have to check) - they do tend to raise prices if items sell quickly.

Wow. I'm very surprised it sold out! I was sure it would linger and be on super sale during Spook. Maybe they only made a limited amount this time.

Given the way Indy 1/6 merchandise has at times sat on the SSC site for years, I can't imagine SSC made a huge number of TOD Indy's though.

Or maybe the figure turned out in-hand miles better than expected, and that pleasant surprise turned into enthusiasm, and created a buying momentum amongst collectors.

If only SSC could deliver like that more often.

Small change my Indy and outdoor photos.

Looks great outside! Nice weathering too.

Just picked up SS TOD Indy at a local comic store. I had the old Raiders SS figure so I threw on the jacket from that one. Now I have a 100% Sideshow Indy figure that has no idea which movie he is in, but looks great with my Indy books and movies. here is a quick cell phone pic...

I like the old ss jacket on him. Fits very nice.

Weathered mine a bit. Absolutely love him now!!

I don't post much (understatement of the decade) but the fun I've been having lately with this figure warrants some picture sharing. Far from a perfect Indy, but a must have nonetheless.

And a very quick photoshop after attempting to replicate that particular frame:

Current pose right now. A pity, that seam... but it beats the awful fedora:
