Sideshow has what seems a bad habbit of rehashing the same characters in differant costumes, my thoughts drift to the what? 4 Luke Skywalkers they have already produced? and 2 Hans is it? Not that im opposed to differant costumed Indy, but there are others I want done in this quality before alternate costumes. If the next figure they release is just a clean sculpt w/ a tie and called Last Crusade Indy, I'd be dissapointed and upset. I also see a custom Henry on ebay every week and the new Medicom Henry is also coming out... So what would make me happy? Why, one of these...and you?
If you pick a character w/ differant costumes list which you'd prefer. I'd rather see a white suit or even jungle Belloq then a cerimonial costume myself.
I also hope to see some 1:1 replicas, and perhaps a 1/6 or 1/4 Ark accessory pack.
I voted Elsa, I'd also love to see a white dress Marion and Grail Knight.
Hmm...I don't realy have a problem with SS making different versions of Indy in different costumes. I'd like to see a TOD Indy, TLC Indy, and KOTCS Indy in his "adventure gear" before a lot of those in this list. that's not to say that I wouldn't like to see other characters made, but it's all about Indy to me.
Vogel is too easy to make yourself... Dragon models did a headcsulpt a while back that is a great likeness for the actor... I used ti to build my Vogel and it looks just like him... (plus it is just fun to build yor own Indy characters)
I would say Marion is a 100% definite for their series.. there is no way they wont do that one... I just wonder which MArion they will do first.. ( I am teetering between Raven Bar and Cairo Marion)

So why not buy 3 of these Indy's you can take the jacket off one and rip its sleeve off, then you can put a tie on another. It's too easy to make custom Indy's with the all the versions coming out and out already, SS, Toys Mccoy, Relic Hunter, Medicom, Hasbro, customs, etc. I want something like a White Dress Marion or White Suit Belloq, something I can't do on my own.
What they should do is a deluxe for a bit less then twice as much, Indy w/ 3 Headsculpts an extra shirt, an extra tie, 2 differant hats, and let you make your own.
Shorty and Willie (Indy's tux/sacrifice garb).And no, I don't collect these, but would definitely consider dropping the bread if they were available to stand next to a nice battle-damaged Temple Indy with a decent Ford likeness,and a piece of the rope bridge to dangle from.
Sideshow seems to ignore any questions on the matter (I've tried) and the Tanis piece aside (which was just an accompaniment to the Hot Toys release,) there just doesn't seem to be anything happening Indy-wise over there.
They even hinted at a Short Round and Mine Cart - both of which were then quietly shelved.
Well, I hope Sideshow don't get to do any of them. It would be a waste of an opportunity as they generally don't do faces well. (They're much better at armoured figures and aliens).
Let them give it to Hot Toys. At least they were soundly told where they went wrong with Indy's face. So they shouldn't be making that mistake again! (The HT still has no trouble in keeping the SS in his box).
There's only one Sideshow human that I dare to keep on display: Lando.
I passed on Toht and Belloq because they looked poor, especially considering the price.
When questioned about the possibility of more 1/6 Sideshow Indy figures in a Q&A at ComicCon today, Sideshow answered witht he following:
Of course we have heard this before, but I guess there is still hope...
Neat as some ToD figures would be, we need a Marion first - be it Well of Souls, Raven Bar or Streets of Cairo. Sideshow's Baroness figure proves a female body buck is ready and waiting...
1:1 Crystal Skull would be epic. I don't own any Indy figures or memorabilia or from any film for that matter, but I'd plop cash down for one of these in a New York minute. Same for a 1:1 Holy Grail.
If I was ever going to have any Indy props it'd be the Holy Grail and Crystal Skull.
Can do a T-rex they can do harrison!
