Montana Smith said:Goonie, that Projector Skull looks nice. I was thinking of getting one to use as an ornament (if I can find a spare shelf!) Do the internal projector workings and the slide opening detract too much from displaying it as a 'skull'?
Goonie said:The plastic on the skull is a little "frosted" so you don't see the guts too much. I think someone on the COW boards managed to take out the projector and the various parts.
Montana Smith said:I've been waiting for weeks for an Artfx Temple of Doom 'statue' from Play.com. They say it's normally delivered in 4-5 days, but so far it's remained out of stock, so I don't think they'll be getting any more. Should have ordered earlier, as the price was only £24.99 delivered.
Montana Smith said:I had a lucky find at Poundstretchers in the UK yesterday. They seem to have secured a load of unsold figures from Spain or Portugal, as the single carded ones had a label on the back with Spanish and Portuguese addresses.
The single figures were £1.99 each and included German Soldiers, Cairo Swordsman, Sallah, Belloq, Monkey Man, and Indy with Idol.
Rhys135 said:I've ordered some stuff from Play.com when it states 4-5 days for delivery, and I have recived them after some time, but the ArtFx TOD is a very poor piece in my opinion, so it wouldn't be a terrible loss if you missed out on it.
throwmetheidol said:I love my TOD ArtFX! I thought it was very clever the way they blended the cool scenes into a sculpture. It made me all the more sad when they canceled the TLC one and never even began on KOTCS.
Remember that art is in the eye of the beholder - everyone has their own opinion and you shouldn't be swayed because of it. If you like - get it!

Montana Smith said:Rhys, the TOD statue looks good in photos, so was surprised to hear you didn't like it. Is it just poorly painted or poorly sculpted? ROB98374's photo here sold me on it.
ROB98374 said:Also the "Real" Indy bag. The MK VII with leather strap. Bag is mint which is a suprise for being so old.
Goonie said:That's a Man Purse.
ROB98374 said:Once you put it together, you can't tell it was ever in two parts. There would be a greater chance of something breaking during shipping/unpacking if it was all one piece.
Plus it gets a better bronzing, I think.
I also got one marked with PROMO. I ended up returning it and buying 4 that were numbered. I like numbered items better also.
But now I am wishing I would have kept the PROMO one also, since there are probably not as many as the numbered ones!
Burke said:StarWarsShop.com would not respond to any of my inquiries, so I e-mailed Gentle Giant directly, and the rep told me they had a couple of numbered ones in the warehouse and that he'd replace the PROMO one I have with a numbered version.
Great customer service from Gentle Giant, terrible from StarWarsShop.
