The Indy Premium Format Figure Countdown/Discussion Thread

[Agent0028]

I'm glad they didn't put a name plate on. I'm not a fan of those. And it would especially bug me since none of the other PF's have them.

As for the exclusive, none of the ideas being tossed around realy excite me. If its the gun I would prefer to display him holding the idol. Same for sandbag or top of the staff of Ra.

Nameplates are unnecessary for iconic characters, but if they do feel the need to label an item, I like the way they did it for Lurtz.

I know this doesn't fall in with "accessory" but I wouldn't mind something similar to what they offered with the Boba Fett PF, a background or something.

 

[galactiboy]

Anyway, is anybody else glad that they didn't feel the need to put a name plate on the base? I prefer it without.

Definitely... this is one where the nameplate would have looked kinda bad. Although, maybe the nameplate is the exclusive

 

[The Josh]

I don't mind the name plates on the PF's I have but no NP is fine as well. The NP I don't care for are the ones that I've seen with the Marvel Busts.

Same here. Personally, I find name plates tacky most of the time. It's much classier and more "museum-like" without.

And besides everybody knows Indiana Jones! Well maybe not everybody

Anybody that comes into my home damn well better know who Indy is

Exclusive accessory just means an item that's not with the regular release. So it could be an alternate hand or a different jacket or something.

It's not necessarily an object that isn't represented in the regular figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Besides my other guesses, I was thinking of something that could go with the pose...so maybe, like the idol, it could be the headpiece to the Staff of Ra! This way he could hold it as opposed to it just sitting on the floor at his feet.

You and me both.

The Ra headpiece would be nice but a bit out of place with the Temple stand.

An alternate gun hand would look cooler and make more sense IMO.

True. Just throwing out ideas. That way I can say I told you so.

But an alt hand with pistol would be great.

Although, no matter what they give, I'll probably leave him as he is in those shots, with idol in hand -- grave robber!

Hells Yeah. "It belongs in a museum!"

Looks great as is and I'll probably display him that way, but with a gun hand or bag o' sand I could put the idol on the pedestal and display everything at once from time to time.

I love how the Darkness PF exclusive sword/horn swap works and would like that for Indy as well.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's an interesting idea: a pedestal for the idol. Not the exclusive obviously, just a cool thing...

But can PFs stand on their own without the base? If so with Indy, then you could stand him right up against the pedestal.

Ugh -- here we go, making already large pieces LARGER.

 

[Wor-Gar]

This made it to the home page! My god, that's a terrific likeness.

I don't know about the pistol--the more I think about it, the more I wonder if the pose he is in, the expression on his face and direction his head is pointing all match up with a pistol drawn and pointing to the right of where he is looking. I think I would want to pose him with the idol instead.

As someone pointed out it would kind of match up with the Cairo streets as he faces down the swordsman - even to the similar expression right before he draws the gun.

Maybe if the gun were up in his hand, like he just drew it.

But yeah, I'd pose him like he is in the pic too. Gun in holster.

 

[Figurefreaks]

Dear god, someone actually bought the Van Helsing PF?!? Dave, I think you may have dethroned The Josh as the Superfan

 

[tomandshell]

That's not a bad looking display!
