For a $5k statue he STILL got the belt wrong.... sigh.....

It's obvious Arnie didn't call you. Lol I'm sure if you let him know he would definitely get one. He sure did get a 1/4 web belt made by Fullmetal.

What is the best way of removing the hat off my MJ sculpt to fit him with a better hat? Thx

Isn't it just placed on? I thought they were always separate to allow for painting.

It's funny how people use indi instead of indy. That's just me though. Arnie definitely made an amazing statue he was refining the sculpt bit by bit.

There's still something not quite there in the likeness to me. I sometimes think he gets an easy ride because he's Arnie Kim and he's worshipped whatever he does.

Hi Mike. I sent you PM about your Indy custom work. Feel free to check it. Thanks.

Even when it's the Hot Toys Indy.

Or people are just too skeptical. I still think the likeness of Harrison Ford on the DX05 is spot on despite what many people say about the sculpt.

It would appear so,

Mind you, if the DX had been perfect we wouldn't have got all the others. Maybe it's good that it wasn't.

This must have been glued on

Spot on? Seriously? I'm no skeptic but it's far from "spot on" in my opinion.

When you say MJ, do you mean the custom head or the Treasure Hunter!? If you mean the Treasure Hunter, yes, I think that was lightly glued on. I think I pried it off with a screwdriver, just do it from the back.

Yes, it is. I think the only problem with that sculpt is the PERS which makes it look odd in some angles. But overall, it’s Ford to me.

Glad you’re happy with it. Enjoy!

Everyone is definitely entitled to their opinion and people see different things differently.

It would be nice if HT did another Indy at some point hopefully to redeem themselves. And they need to steer clear and as far away from Arnie Kim in doing so.

IMO.

It was PERS that robbed the DX of what it could have had. Every likeness had to be compromised in order to fit the standard PERS unit, they were fine for Bruce Lee and Johnny Depp, but useless for the likes of Harrison and Arnie.

MJ Choi sculpt. Maybe if I heat it up a big with a hair dryer?

I think the PERS have worked great for all the releases except Indy, DX10 (use the shades anyway), and First TDK Joker (DX01) and Batman (DX02).

Solid PERS releases:
MJ DX03
Bruce Lee DX04
Sparrow DX06
Bespin Luke DX07 (still my favorite Luke sculpt)
Joker DX08
Batman DX09
Joker TDK DX11
Batman DX12
Battle Damage T800 DX13
Sparrow DX15

Maul looks to be fine as well.

The Treasure Hunter is a vinyl copy of the MJ sculpt. I thought both the MJ head and hat were resin, in which case heating wouldn't make a difference.

The original Joker had its own PERS unit, which was said not to work well. This was then refined for later releases. Heath, MJ, Bruce, Mark Hamill and Johnny Depp had feaures that lent themselves well to PERS. Any that used a Slim tended to do well. Arnie wasn't bad, but, compared to the Tech Noir version, the eyes on the DX were too close together, which was a consequence of the PERS. As good as the Nicholson Joker was, it too suffered the same way.

I'm glad that for other figures they didn't use it as the likenesses improved greatly when they didn't have it.

They lose a lot of expression when they don't use it though. I still think the DX13 has the best likeness to Arnold and that's using PERS.
