They need their pictures taken or they need to make these?

Oops forgot to mention that bit.

These are the figures that should be in the 2nd series (if any) in the Hasbro figure line up.

I couldn't find a better topic for this, unless I made one

Man, that is an awesome piece! I have been checking pet stores/pet departments for stuff like this ever since the Sideshow Indy was announced, with no real luck. Even though this is probably not a good scale to display with 1/6th figures, I will still pick one up if I see one for my Hasbro figs. It's perfect! $9.00 is a steal too, a lot of the aquarium stuff at places like Pet's Mart are pretty expensive...especially for something for your fish to crap on

I saw that very same aquarium piece at Walmart tonight, priced at around $4.75. Didn't pick it up, as I was there to get some other things, but I may go back for it later. There was another one with Roman arches that looked promising, too, but it was a bit more expensive.

Finally received my Crystal Skeleton earliers this week. I'd been waiting to take pictures until it arrived, and just snapped some quick shots. Charlemagne's photos have got me looking for back drops and props. Great job on those photos, man! Anyway:

Indy and Company

Have been to three Wal-Marts and no luck so far. I did see the Roman arches at one of them though, so there is hope. Really want to find one of these things!

Yay, I finally found one (the Incan ruin head) tonight! Also stopped by Petco (for pet related shopping actually) and they had some similar items:

"Ankgor 4-Face"


"Ankgor Gate" (doorway is about the size of the Hasbro figures)


"Buddha Head"


They also had various other ruins, columns, and even a gargoyle. More can be seen at their site HERE.

I've seen those Petco things and they're pretty good, but their really great items have since been discontinued.

I have some great canceled items and still others (the aforementioned Mayan monuments and a Mayan/Aztec? head) eluded my grasp.

But I think the above pictured Wal Mart head is better than the current Petco crop.

There's also TONS of great stuff on ebay. Egyptian, Roman, etc.

Go to the Club Reef aquarium store and go CRAZY.

I have these two items from Petco:

http://www.petco.com/product/107207/...t=OnSiteSearch
http://www.petco.com/product/107214/...t=OnSiteSearch

They make pretty good backdrops for Raiders figures, when used together they can actually be used as a makeshift Well of Souls. A good example of this is shown on page 2 of this thread: http://threads.rebelscum.com/showfla...=&fpart=2&vc=1

Well, I made the VERY long slog to Wal-Mart today, but it was not in vain!!

Though they didn't have a discounted BMF, I did grab one of these gorgeous aquarium head items.

They didn't have any other aquarium deco suitable for Indy, alas.

There was one great piece, looks Roman, a building with two arched doorways on either side. It would have needed to be double the size to work with Indy, alas.

Remember, go to ebay - club reef aquariums have AWESOME ruins, statues, columns and other pieces...
