The Statue looks great. Mine is sitting in my Living room in the box, I have been a bit nervous to open him up, but after seeing yours and Dan's, I am more confident he will look great.

Don't wait too long - in case you need to exchange it or something if there is an issue.  One little hint on getting the whip into his hand.  Lift it up sideways (so the whip is horizontal) to get it between his leg and hand.  Then turn it so it hangs down vertically.  It was a tight fit on mine.

I opened up my Indy today, and got him displayed. He looks pretty good and I am happy. Have to adjust his clothes a bit, as his pants sit a bit low and his jacket a little short. Just need a permanent place to put him.

Jeff - I'm curious but how tan is Indy's face on yours?  Is it very dark?  I'd love to see a picture or two.

Hi Rico

It looks ok to me the skin color. I know I had read some complaints of others who had gotten overly tan versions, so I was concerned about it as well, but mines looks fine.

I have taken some preliminary photos I have placed in my Gallery. I will try and take come more pictures either tonight or tomorrow without the flash to get a good representation of what he looks like

I have some in my Gallery

That's a very fine sculpture. One of the best I have seen. In one of the photos at Jeff's photo album the hand holding the idol looks so real. Unbelievable and the face is perfect. I don't think they could have done better.

Jeff - yours is the standard edition right?  One head?
Title: Re: "No time for statues Dr. Jones!"
Post by: jedijeff on December 18, 2008, 05:35:19 PM
Hi Rico

I have the exclusive version which came with the two heads, though I doubt I would ever display the hatless version

Kevin

I agree the sculpt looks great. I will try and post some more photos in the next few days, I adjusted the clothes a bit better to fit Indy more properly.

Too bad this is already sold out! I might have been one of these!

Get on the wait list if you want one of the Exclusive editions.  The standard edition (which is just about as good - just only come with the head with the hat) is easy to find still.

Mt Tom Baker figure has two heads, don't intend on changing it  for the hatless version so i reckon i could live with the standard version. Hey Rico, make sure Kaylee doesn't go running off with Indy's head.

See, Kaylee stealing Indy's head would have made a better movie than Kingdom of the Crystal Dull! ;)

Right on there Bryan. I can see Kaylee now running down Rico's stairs as the man himself chases her. Bit like the ROTLA scene with the boulder. ;)
