Present Toys "Raider Jones" figure

[Cocoboloboy]

Unmistakable Ford likeness to me but I think it could have a slightly more elongated portrait. Still nice though and probably near perfect with a better paint job. I still plan on dipping the sculpt in some boiling water and seeing if I can pinch it slightly narrower.

Looking better than I imagined. I'll definitely be ordering a second one from Kit.

(I received an email from TW stating that tracking numbers would be sent shortly.)

By the way, just an observation in that the pic on the box appears (to me) to be a "Temple of Doom" Indy but I could be wrong.

Just curious.. You got the tracking yet? And if so, is the tracking number activated?

* A tracking number will be updated before processing the shipment, please be advised that it does not represent the shipment being started."

As to this figure, considering the options out there (some available, some not) I think it looks fine as a representation of Indy. No one expected every part and accessory to be at customized levels of detailing. I personally will be using it as a TOD representation. With the loose parts that I do have, I'll have some fun mixing and matching to get the best figure that I can get. I was even going to order a second one from Kit but missed out.

Others may find enjoyment in criticizing it to death while admiring their $2000 customized Indy figure on their shelf...

Kit do you think they will do a 2nd batch?

Kit do you think they will do a 2nd batch?

Yeah, and I had no idea TW and TBA were kind of sketchy too. I like that Kit is on here and have now had a good look at his site. Hopefully a 2nd batch will happen in a few months and I can grab this then. Had no idea there'd be such a bum rush on this fig.

 

[Mr.E]

Just a heads up, the figure is starting to be parted out on the Bay; gives us a closer look at the body they used as well.

 

[TaliBane]

Wow, I just realized who the smiley headsculpt is modeled on - found this ref pic and it's just perfect.

I’ve never heard a single bad thing about TBA. Good prices, fast delivery. What have they done?

 

[Mr.E]

Other than what seems like a blueish hue to the eyes, I really don't have an issue with what I've seen of the heads, likeness-wise. The smiling sculpt looks like Ford.

There seemed to be some negative stuff coming up a few days ago in this thread. I have only ever bought from TBA, never TW.

TBA seem to me to be the polar opposite of TW. There is zero shilling going on. Not saying they are perfect but never had a problem with them that wasn’t fixed immediately. Polite, prompt service. I’ve been buying from him since before TBA when he was on eBay.

Really liking the color of the web belt on this. Looks pretty close to accurate to me, though I'm not an expert

I still wonder about the base body articulation and durability

Or my plan—take this $150 figure and resell it for $2k on eBay so I can piece together my own fancy custom. It’s foolproof!!

I am offended mine was $700! LOL! The Present toys looks pretty decent for the $200 shipped I paid.

 

[Kit Chen]

Kit do you think they will do a 2nd batch?

I almost convinced them to open preorder last Saturday, I showed them the demand by how many orders we got just in few seconds

Present told me that other store/distributor told him to hold off re-issue because some people haven't pay and get their stocks yet, it's not a good idea to open preorder for 2nd batch before stores get their 1st batch

I am confident that present will agree to re-issue, we just need to wait. Why? Because present see the demand, they see the rip up price everywhere, but it's actually none of their business, they are not benefiting at all

I am really shocked that people willing to pay $300 for it..

Looks like single jointed elbows unfortunately. There’s no telling how durable or tight everything is on it. I thought my Mars Toys Joker body was trash until I realized it was just loose ankle and wrist pegs. After stripping it the rest seemed decent.

Interesting, I was convinced it would just be one of the readily available TTM19 knockoffs, but that's a new one for me. Looks pretty nice if the quality is good.
