The Indy Premium Format Figure Countdown/Discussion Thread

[tomandshell]

I don't want to start anything here but the size of the zipper is a deal breaker on the Medicom Indy.

Medicom knows how to make a good quality zipper:

 

[Batty]

They sure do. That thing's huge!








That's what she said...blah, blah...

 

[galactiboy]

Good thing about Ghost Rider is you can hide the zipper with the chains... might be a tad difficult to explain why Indy is wearing them though

 

[Reinhardt]

BTW, no Toyfare in the mail for me as of Saturday.

I'm still quite sure we'll see pics of this pop up before Wednesday, though.

let's hope for today!! the anticipation is killing me!!!!

 

[Batty]

Someone over at SF said they got their copy today. Indy is holding the idol in his other hand. They can't post a pic until tonight.

 

[Sandindy]

hmmm maybe the exclusive is the hand with pistol then or something.

 

[masterside]

I JUST GOT A TOY FAIR MAGAZINE AND THE PF INDY IS ON THE COVER--- it looks great- he's holding the fertility idol in the other hand---i will try to post pix tonight,,,,,,

I hope that is true

 

[galactiboy]

On the ToyFare website they still have last months cover up...

 

[Agent0028]

I guess that rules the idol out as the exclusive, unless that is the exclusive edition. Having switchable hands to ahve him hold the idol of the gun could be cool. Regardless of what the exclusive is, I wanna see pics!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

i cant wait to order this...might have to cancel some stuff to afford him, but he will be mine.

Sounds like it could be a change-o-hand. One with the pistol...one holding the idol. Sounds great to me.

What I'm REALLY hoping for is a few magnetic hand and whip variations, like this:

- curled left hand (to hold rolled whip OR posable unrolled whip - similar to the 1/6)
- straight relaxed left hand (to allow for the rolled whip to be placed on the belt instead)
- grip right hand #1 (to hold idol or holding idol)
- grip right hand #2 (to hold gun or holding gun)
- straight relaxed right hand (to allow for the gun to be placed in the holster and idol displayed next to figure on base)

I figure if they had all those magnetic hands with Robocop, surely they can do the same with Indy so he can be posed in a variety of ways based on the hands.

I'm also REALLY into the idea of 2 heads. One with 'trust me' smirk, one without.

Can't wait to start seeing the pics...Hopefully tonight! This is EASILY my most anticipated figure from Sideshow EVER!

You throw me the whip . . . I give you the idol!

 

[Indiana Fett]

You throw me the whip . . . I give you the idol!

...no time to argue!

I think there will be three hands total, 2 right hands - 1 gun 1 idol. One head w/ hat attached.

I'd love them to include a bunch of hands and two heads but that's just unrealistic wishful thinking IMO, it's the kind of thing they do with 12" figures not PFs. We shall see.

Agreed...this isn't a Hot Toys 1/6 fig...it's a PF. And while all of those hands and heads sound like a nice idea.....there's little chance at all of it actually happening.

 

[Batty]

I don't know... The Captain America PF exclusive came with 2 heads, 2 shields and 2 base pieces. I could see them doing something along the same line with Indy. At least I hope they do.

True....but I think Cap was the exception rather then the norm.

 

[Batty]

We can always hope. This is going to be an important piece in the Indy line. Sideshow might go all out. But they're also dealing with LFL, so they might not.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, if ever there was a character deserving of being different than the norm Indy is it. Seems Sideshow is packing more accessories in with their PFs... so I could see multiple hands being an option.
