Here's what the new SideShow 12 inch Indy figure will look like.   |

Not bad...the gear looks great from what I can see (except for the bag over the jacket!!!  ) but I'm not so sure about the face. Something about it doesn't quite look right.  |

Well, it's still the prototype. I think the head looks great. It also looks like there's a wire in the whip. That will be great for action poses.  Let me just say that the prototype kicks the crap out of the Toys McCoy! -Josh |

Yes, the figure does look very good and Fusion is correct, this is still the prototype....Notice the lack of the pleats on the front of the shirt, the large stitching in the jacket and the lack of a buckle on the bag strap. GCR, I agree with you about the face.....Even painted that still doesn't look to me like the unpainted head that was released on the net about a month ago. Even though the artist that sculpted it says that it is..........IF it is that sculpt then they did something to it while painting it because I think he looks a little to pudgy in the face......Like he's been eating sweets! ;D I dunno.......I'm sure we'll get to see shots of it from different angles here real soon. |

Yeah, I think that might be it, PH...the face looks a little too round or "pudgy" for Raiders-era Indy...or ANY-era Indy for that matter. ;D

Yeah, I don't think this Indy would have been able to out run the boulder! ;D

Yeah, I ordered the exlusive version yesterday. There were a bunch of posts about all of it but due to "technical difficulties" everything that was posted yesterday on here was erased! |

Aww, that sucks! I was wondering why I was having difficulty yesterday. I guess the whole site was messed up? -Josh |

We are currently running without the upgrades, as a temporary fix to the glitch they ran into. So, yesterday may return tomorrow or another day in the future. Sound like a Terminator episode to you too? See this thread for more info: indylounge.proboards105.com/index.cgi?board=loungenews&action=display&thread=1203511475Ken |

OK. let's bring the story back up to speed. it's fun to talk about anyway. So, if it wasn't for Pitfall posting that they went on sale,...Agent5 reading said post, and calling my house to let my wife know the scoop,...I would have totally missed out on the exclusive figure. I have been waiting for this one, and so glad I was able to get on the list. I was at work, and my wife put the order in for me. Bless her heart, she's a great woman, and she puts up with all this crap. She actually supports it. Figures, I could be spending cash at the bar or worse, so this is an innocent hobby. Life's good.

Well, my mom wasn't happy that I ordered one for my brother and one for me. I told her they wouldn't charge my credit card until it begins shipping. She said, "Are you going to have money, then?" *Exhales heavily* I'm between jobs right now, so I don't have any money right now, but the figure doesn't ship until 3rd Quarter of '08. I am certain that I'll have some income by then. -Josh |

Mike Blues, your a lucky man........If I would have been in that situation I doubt my wife would have done that for me. She would have looked at the price and said forget it! ;D When I first saw that they had gone on sale I figured everyone would have known about it already but it turns out no one had a clue! So I'm happy I was able to alert everyone in time.......My guess is a lot of these would have been bought up by second hand retailers and sold for triple the amount! |

Yeah, i think it's cool they only allowed one "exclusive" per customer. It sucks when people buy them all up, and basically "twisting pineapples up your arse" making a huge profit reselling them. Good to see fans actually getting them, instead of scalpers.

Well, Agent 5 found a way around that "one per customer" but at least we know he's a fan and not looking to scr*w someone over and just flat out sell them. |

Yeah, that lucky S.O.B.!! But, considering his admiration for Raiders of the Lost Ark, good for him.

Well, I even considered buying two myself.....One to keep in the box and one to take out and mess with......You know these things are going to be worth a pile of money down the road..... Even IF they are the only way I'd get rid of it is IF I had two.....Since I don't then it's staying with me. I've waited to loong for something like this to be made. |

I ordered 2 figures also, one for display (LOL) and one in the box. I collect the Sideshow Six Gun Legends and the Civil War ones also. I don't have doubles of those but I figure I will pose Indy on the 1:6 scale motorcycle sidecar I posted in another page.

The only reason for me to get two is if I wanted to customize one. -Josh |

Sideshow has revealed that they will only be producing 1500 pieces of the exclusive version of their Indiana Jones 1/6 scale figure.

Well, they DID produce 1500........Those are all sold as of the moment. At least that's what it seems like to me. You can either still order the regular OR get on the waiting list and hope an exclusive version becomes available.
