Kevin said:I sure do miss walking into stores and seeing these on the shelves. It was a great line, and a blast to collect, I can't believe it's been seven years already! Glad to see folks are still having fun customizing them.
Billy Ray said:Yeah, I got a temple pitfall Indy with and awesome paint job. I put it on a KOTCS Indy body and it is probably my favorite of all my Indys:

Hard to believe that I took my first foray into action figure customising at the height of the Indy line a decade ago.
While I've still been cranking out figures from different franchises in the intervening years, it's been an age since I've revisited Dr Jones.
Was never happy with the pre-posed legs and inaccurate fedora bash. So, one pair of "Hannibal Smith" lower extremities and a custom head later...
And for those who are curious, my first Indy custom from back in 2008..."Raven Bar Indy"...
Billy Ray said:Looks awesome Inky! Where did you get the custom head?

This set has been re-released several times in different configurations, but only the first version comes with the base/stairs. I?ve repainted it and added a mess of accessories/trees/plants and have some more stuff on the way to add/swap out.
I?m probably going to paint the trees and plants to make them look less plastic-y.

Lance Quazar said:Holy smokes, this is absolutely phenomenal and the first thing I went to do was search for this playset online. Alas, couldn't find one with the stairs, as you pointed out.
