tnswman said:I still love the Medicom KOTCS figure best but this figure is a true treasure! The face is better than I expected too.
Montana Smith said:I don't understand how HT got the holster so wrong for a ROTLA Indy, and the fedora which, from photos, doesn't have the iconic pinch that all but reaches the band.
Billy Ray said:You know, I wonder if this has anything to do with Lucasfilm Licensing? It's just kind of weird how so many companies, even across different formats, have got this kind of stuff "wrong". I seem to remember Sideshow saying something about LFL mandating certain things be a certain way, and I know they do this type of stuff for Star Wars too.
WaiMan said:A few Indys arrived this morning, I had to double check to see if any of them was the 'bloated' Indy head that was seen on various forums - well rest assured OSB stock are not fakes!!!!
Billy Ray said:LOL, I'm from Texas and even I don't say "Yippee Ki Yay!"
Billy Ray said:What I meant about LFL was how they sometimes make demands on companies that some things be a certain way, regardless of how they appear in the specific film. I seem to remember something about the snap on Indy's jacket, that wasn't on the jacket in ROTLA, but was in subsequent films. Anyway, SS included it and said that it was something that LFL wanted included. This could all be rumor and/or conjecture, and I usually don't pay much mind to little things like that.
I don't know, it's just a theory, but it would explain why the holster is off on both the SS and Hot Toys Indy (but, oddly enough, pretty accurate on the Medicom). It's more like his holster in the rest of the films. I just find it hard to believe that either SS or HT would somehow just overlook this, especially with the level of detail on everything else.
Billy Ray said:Not that it really bothers me all that much, I'm happy with how it turned out, 100% screen accurate to ROTLA or not.

Billy Ray said:I now he doesn't really frequent the Raven much any more, but I'd really be interested to hear what tnswman has to say about this figure. I know he is partial to the Medicom and Toys McToy figures and wasn't too impressed with Sideshow's.
You know, it's weird how all the initial complaints about this figure, from when the proto pics first hit, have all but melted away. Everyone was !@#$%ing about the shoes, the neck, the jacket, the muscle body...now it just seems like the head and the PERS. It's also funny how a lot of folks seem to be warming up to it, if not doing a 180 all together.
Billy Ray said:Can't wait to hear what you think of him in person!
Billy Ray said:Great pics Montana, and glad to hear you like him! You're quite right, it's really hard to capture how awesome he is in photos.
Billy Ray said:You know, it's funny,people are still complaining about the "guyliner" on SSF. Even people that have him in hand are talking about ways to remove it It makes me wonder if some of them actually do have it? I mean, look at those pics from Figuremaniacs...even the worst photos don't look like that.
