This is truly an amazing job. The Medicom Indy from "Crystal Skull" has a lot of problems: the jacket is too big with an oversized zipper, the whip is extremely inaccurate (although made of leather), the shirt buttons are out of scale (way too big), the pants aren't the correct color, the hat is really weirdly misshapen, the gunbelt is wrong! and the headsculpt looks lame. BUT! If you repaint the head, it brings out an amazing likeness... This is what I plan to do when I receive my Medicom Indy. That's right, after seeing this, it gave me hope that this figure will be salvageable after all. Since I already have a kicking Crystal Skull Indy, I really just need the head, and a few other key items.  -Josh |

they are great shots there, really shows the differences when someone customises their own collections in that last photo, it looks like Indy is about to say "... Part Time!..." so now you gotta have a figure of Mutt about to say "you're a... teacher?..." to go with it  that whip looks better aswell |

Actually, I'm close to having my own Jones and Son pair finished. Here's a picture of the older version of my KOTCS Indy along with the WIP Mutt figure I mentioned.  Now, here's my NEW custom WIP Indiana Jones from Crystal Skull. I am temporarily using my "Last Crusade" Sideshow body until my new Indy Pro body comes. Ben is thinking of painting the head up before the body comes, but he hasn't decided. I'd like to see what he can do ASAP, but you can't rush art. Here are pics of the Medicom head, hat (which looks weird), shirt, jacket and whip with Relic Hunter pants, gunbelt and holster on Sideshow's Indy body.     Medicom vs Sideshow  I also received the Medicom Mutt figure today. It's a good figure. It might replace our custom. It might be a great reference for finishing it, too.  -Josh |

A quick update on old Indy. Ben repainted the Medicom sculpt. I resculpted the hat with Apoxy. It still needs to be painted better. I am very satisfied with Ben's paint job. However, it needs to be sealed a little better as the hat has scraped a little paint off. I also painted the jacket. I tried to sand it, but it put a tiny hole in the sleeve. Oops. Anyway, here are some pictures:     -Josh |
