You know, I think Chancellor Valorum (Terence Stamp) would be a good likeness for Donovan. Or did Hasbro ever do a resculpt on General Veers?

The fix on Belloq makes him a perfect figure...excellent work, sir :up:

They did do a resculpt of Veers a few years back.

On the down note,It looks more like Tarantino than Julian Glover.

Those look great! How did you get rid of Belloq's ceremonial hat?

He cut it off.

well, i want to make the PERFECT indy from ROTLA/TOD/LC an "further adventures of Indiana Jones"... an the DELUXE figs are just perfect!!!
but... i'm undecided, between "INDY temple TRAP" or "INDY with horse" :gun:
so, i bet youse can help me with a bit of info, an if you can, i want to see detailed pics of both, specially mugshots, the head sculpts, which of both are the best... an who else than the good Indyfans can give me a wee advice :hat:
oh, a few questions...
- pros an cons of both figures... which one is cool or better?
- it's possible to remove the dust paint of the Indy w/ Horse lower legs?
- how can i remove softy the hands of Indy with Jacket?? any tips?
- has anyone made a duplicate fedora from the INDY KOTCS?? hopefully in plastic
so, thanks for your help, an i promise a "Mystery of the blues" indy soon ;) :whip:

This site has close up pics of most of the figures released so far: http://www.cooltoyreview.com/Hasbro_IJ.asp

Between the two you mentioned, I think the Temple Trap head is better. However, if you can find a Temple Pitfall with a good paint job, then that is probably your best option. However, the Pitfall body has pretty poor articulation, so my Raiders Indy is a Pitfall head on an Indy with Horse body.

It looks like the beginings of a custom Rick Deckard figure. The figures are awesome btw!

ah grand!!! i will order the Temple Trap Indy :whip:
besides, that one don't have shoulder bag :mad: the temple pitfall is too expensive an don't have a loose shoulder bag... i like the TT Indy, can hold in a classic pose ;)

:whip: awesome whip, pal!!!
do you removed the "dust" of the lower legs? how? can you remove his gloves/hands?

No, it's still there.

Since we may never get him, does anyone have a recommendation for a Marcus Brody head? I was going to use the LC Indy body with the Henry Jones jacket repainted but not sure what head to use.

Personally, I'm going with the head from the Rebel Honour Guard - he's in the background of the Belloq pic I posted earlier. A little grey paint around the temples should cover it, although some have said it's a better likeness of Donovan...

What about the Naboo Soldier for Brody?

Then you could use the Rebel Honour Guard for Donovan.

Nice spot ! I know some people have suggested the old Sebastian Shaw version of Anakin Skywalker for Marcus - but I don't think the sculpting style / detail is consistent with the Indy line. But the Naboo soldier - I think you may be onto something there...

My Indy custom universe is becoming increasingly populated by Star Wars fodder - first Tycho Celchu as Jock, now Mace Windu as Katanga, the Rebel Guard as Donovan and the Naboo Soldier as Marcus !

Katanga? Let's see him!!

We've got heads picked out for good Donovan and Brody customs, so what other figures are necessary for the IJ collection?

Mac- Gung-Ho head (GI-Joe) I'm not sure what figure body would work for Mac, he's fat but wouldn't look right on the Jek Porkins body (orange flight suit)

Oxley- Jan Dodonna head?, I'm not sure on the body. Perhaps just make Dodonna's body look ratty, or for Oxley after the Skull is returned just use a Henry body?

Feel free to add characters to the list or to correct the figures I've picked for these two.

My recipe for Oxley would be (based on what I've got in my customising drawer)...

Head - Harry Potter Sirius Black (seriously - I have a ton of these from when I was sourcing the jackets for my various 'suit' customs)
Body - Cemetary Warrior
Poncho - soft goods

As for Mac - I was considering giving Biggs Darklighter a haircut / colour ;) Perhaps even Bo'Shek with a 'tache (a little skinny). The legs from numerous Jedi would be perfect for the high-booted look. The long, belted jacket could perhaps be sourced from a Rebel Ceremonial Guard.

As for Katanga - check back next week !

Do the Harry Potter figures have balljointed heads for simple headswaps with Hasbro figures?

Sirius Black certainly has a ball jointed head. However, the neck post is very small, so head-swaps might take a little effort.

So - I already hinted that Donovan was on the slate. I prefer his 'canyon' outfit at the end of the movie, so that's what I went for. I know a lot of you guys will probably point out that the holster isn't present on his costume in the film - but I had the Luger left over from Henry Sr, and I like the idea of Donovan packing heat. So, until Hasbro gives us something more accurate - here's everyone's favourite turncoat Nazi-American...

Very nice! Recipe?

Head, torso (shirt), arms, lower jacket 'skirt' - Rebel Honor Guard
Legs - Belloq
Upper jacket - Harry Potter 'Sirius Black'
Tie - scratch build
Luger - Henry Sr.

Just to ensure that no-one doubts Donovan's bad-boy credentials...

Inky, that Donovan looks amazing...and that has to be the smallest and most perfectly painted swastika I've ever seen. And despite your concerns over the Sebastian Shaw Anakin head, I have to say that I believe its the perfect choice for Marcus.

Thanks to a fellow Ravener, I've managed to snag another Vogel for this long-awaited project. Once Vogel was announced, I immediately imagined this recipe, and it worked out pretty well, I think.



The recipe is Colonel Vogel and parts from a C-3P0 arm...I think it was the version that came with the Purchase of the Droids Cinema Scene. I harvested the joint from Vogel's arm, and rigged it to the Threepio parts to retain the articulation. I kept Vogel's shoulder joint as well, simply blending the Threepio bicep into it.



The robotic eye is a slice of styrene tube, and the monocle is styrene rod. The antenna is styrene as well. The straps are leather, and the belt buckle is from Vogel's belt, as is the gun and holster. I also resculpted the waist with epoxy putty (which means he's lost the articulation there).



This was lots of fun...sort of an Indy version of the McQuarrie Star Wars figures.

Let me know what you think, and thanks for looking.

Woah, a concept-art figure? How freakin cool is that? Very cool!!!

Looks amazing!
