Anyone have any clue what's up with the future of SSC Indy line? It really looks like it's going the way of the dodo, and fast!! They've still not shipped out the very first figure from their lineup, and they've only made one other 12'' and that's still in limbo! There's the Medicom figures and the Premium Format Indy, but that's it? I was sure they'd crank more of these out in order to capitalize on the Indy fever from over the summer! Either SSC knows something we don't about future films and they're holding back, or truly the line is just dying a slow quiet death!
First of all, great news about the imminent shipping of the 12" SS IJ figure - I look forward to seeing mine too, hopefully before the end of 2008.
To address the above question, this is pure speculation on my part, but I have no reason to think the SSC IJ line will be cancelled. It looks like both the SSC 12" IJ and the 12" "Belloq" are both either selling well or or are sold out.
Since SS makes it's figures almost purely for collectors, hopefully the line will continue for a while. There are good many more IJ 12" figures that would look great if made by SSC, i.e. "Mola Ram", "Toht", "Marion Ravenwood" (in Raven Bar outfit), and others. Since the Hasbro 12" line has been cancelled, SSC is the only way these figures will be made (at least, until a 5th IJ film, if that ever happens).
I hope I'm not wrong about this - I guess time will tell.
