JimmyPSHayes said:Man, Hasbro's getting all my money this year. Between this line and GI Joe, I'm gonna go broke. Can't wait to start seeing some Toy Fair pics!
Yeah this might be a blessing in disguise, since I was really going to strive to hold back on buying a lot of the 3 3/4" line, and spend my money on Sideshow and other collectibles. If I see a Hasbro 3 3/4" figure I really like, such as the German soldier on the motorcycle, I'll pick it up! But, if they all look this crappy, I'm passing for sure!Deckard said:Really? Since seeing this stuff I've realized how much Extra $$ ill have from not buying so many of them. Ill pick up Indy and the horse, Nothing else looks good as far as im concerned. Hopefully this will change bewtween now and production.
And im not talking paint apps, Im talking about sloppy molding. Look at the KOTCS Indy's whip and hat, look at the skull, All suffer deformity for how they were pulled from the molds. No thanks.

The_Raiders said:I acually didn't think the pics of the new figures looked too bad. i like them. And I'm almost posative the real product will look good.
Deckard said:Well to each his own but I know 4 yr olds that could have done better paint apps by hand or not, these are going to Toyfair. The biggest thing for toys. And you let them go looking like crap... Bad call. Its like if George Clooney showed up to the oscars in a bathrobe and sombrero.

You’ve seen the first wave of Indiana Jones figures, based on Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the second wave is all based on the next film: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. .... allowing Wave 3 to get back to the classic stuff, including Henry Jones Sr., Elsa, the Grail Knight and Young Indy, played by River Phoenix!
The promos are as follows:
4 basic figure UPCs = an undisclosed "Cheif" figures from the new movie "KOTCS"
4 12" UPCs = Ark of the Covanent = Vac-metalized gold with lid, handles etc.
4 Heroes UPCs = Indy on white Horse hero
These 3 mailaway items will not be available at retail.

metalinvader said:It's the paint jobs people don't like.I'll admit,The paint jobs do suck but I'm pretty sure these are hand painted samples and I know the final product will look 100x better.
In other news,I can't wait to get my hands on them!
Shortie said:The Indy head sculpts besides Cairo & Deluxe Tree Swinging are sucky. Though Mutt's head sculpts are awesome.
