I'm giving this it's own thread, since the title on the other one isn't the most descriptive....
With Sideshow’s 12” Indy and their PF Indy both hitting in recent weeks, it’s pretty hard for any lower cost Indiana Jones collectible figure to edge in there right now. On top of that, from the early photos I’d seen of Diamond Select’s new Ultimate Quarter Scale Indy figure, I wasn’t holding my breath. But DST sent one over, and I have to say I’m very pleasantly surprised. It still has some issues, and if you have the cash to spend, it’s not going to rival SS’s PF. But it also has an very good costume, a much better head sculpt than I expected, and the underlying body is a true action figure, rather than a rotocast limited articulation statue. I'm betting this will end up being a controversial review until people get these in hand, because it seems like folks want him to suck. This is DST after all, a company that's gotten its share of flack in the last year or two, and they didn't really do themselves a lot of good with the official photos or the pose they had him in at SDCC. But after getting it in hand, this one has me looking forward to the Maul and Hoth Han due out later a whole lot more.
