I think silicone needs to be painted with silicone mixed into paint as it only bonds to itself, that's what I've heard in the past at least
I also noticed the beard height issue, you would be able to paint it higher theoretically but I think how they do it is the hairs are sculpted going into the face so that a dark wash stays within them
Yes, I think they must definitely use a wash because the beard growth hair positions are exactly the same on the prototype as they are on the mass production statue (when you compare the hi-res photos of both).
 
Unreal, but somehow believable. It’s almost like they wanted JND to fail.
Well, I am JND and I am cancelling the production. They have to take care of the brand and this publicity is very bad for them. Nothing makes sense. I am also waiting for mine with the sad hope that they will be different when I get them.
 
I would like to get a better 1/3 scale whip. Who can I contact and what are the prices? I would also like to see if anyone can make a suitcase and umbrella in that scale. Regards and thanks.

I got this little 1/3 work of art from Joseph Strain at Northern Whip Co. However, I would hold onto your dollars before paying for upgrades until you've seen the statue in person. I made the mistake of getting all of my Raiders of the Lost Ark upgrades made and paid for assuming that JND would give us a much better production version of the statue. I wish I'd held off on it and saved myself a LOT of expenditure!

Joe Strains whips are fantastic in any scale! He is a whip making master imho.
 
Seems odd that it's been more than 2 weeks now since the unboxing and no collectors have got it in hand yet. Just about every JND release has vids up as quick as a week or two. :huh
 
Virtual Devil on Youtube will probably do a review of it. His Reeve Superman review was great actually and really showed off the statue to its best so hopefully he'll do the same for the Indiana Jones
 
Well I’m out, 25% deposit eaten.
Think it’s decent enough but I’d rather put the still very large balance I owed toward something I think is great.

Hoping everyone will happy that pays off their balance!
 
Holy cow, SAB!

I'm really conflicted on this one. Like someone said earlier, don't order it expecting anything more than the prototype, but I was hoping that after stating they would, they'd step up. Saying that, it's still the best Indy statue anyone has ever done, but... the unboxing looks worse than the prototype, and that's the bit that's killing me.

I'll wait on some collector unboxing's before definitively pulling the pin, but at the moment I'm right along side you.

This sure has been the weirdest JND journey (even until now without any more unboxing's nearly 3 weeks after reveal).
