FORTUNE AND GLORY - Professor of Archaeology (Painted/Unpainted sculpt) - ORDER NOW!!

[Raymond F.]

Thanks bud. I mixed Tamiya flat brown with a bit of flat black and washed it on so I could retain a bit of the highlights Mj painted in. Lighter washes for the brows and painted a few more strokes to reshape them a tad. He needed a bit more of the ruffled brow since that's the way MJ sculpted his forehead.

I wish I had the skills to do mine like yours.

 

[rhboyd]

Oh, but they're labelled fine. Would love to see that line-up but with hats on.

Here you go!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

WOW! Thanks, rhboyd. That's great.

The MJ sculpt really is quite a bit larger than the Inigou, huh? Or maybe its just the MJ is wider.

Two such impressive sculpts -- we've all waited so long and now TWO!

 

[rhboyd]

Wor... yup... it is larger... I HAD to buy them both... but now, I don't know which to use!!!! AUGH!!!!! I'll probably replace my HT head with Inigou's, and use MJ's with the Yunsil... these are NOT bad problems to have!!!

Want any more pics??

 

[Wor-Gar]

these are NOT bad problems to have!!!

:lol to say the least.

I'm having a hard time choosing myself. Each has its own positives. But I'm just going by pictures, so its extra hard. In hand it must be a little easier to tell which would go best with what. Sounds like the Inigou could replace the HT head to remain in the same scale (if you like that size head for the body). I definitely think MJ's sculpt should be used for the most recent custom Indy outfit (Yunsil's). The two were literally made for each other.

I'm eager for Jake to paint the MJ one so we can really see a side by side of the sculpts with similar paintwork.

Am I right to assume that the MJ sculpt a has a bit more of Indy's quizzical expression -- like "here we go again"... while Inigou's sems like a stern, more intense stare?

More pic? Well, if you have the time, I'm game for more of course. Maybe a 3/4 side-by-side pic with just MJ/Inigou. I don't think we need the HT any more. Maybe nose-to-nose facing each other -- always good for size comparison.

 

[greatlakes6]

I did the same thing, bought both sculpts, will use both outfits.

here you go!! the expressions are very different, but BOTH are fully Indy!!! we are lucky indeed!!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

GREAT PICS! Thank you, rhboyd!

Yep -- got to have both sculpts. Just no two ways about it.




Striking the size difference though...







But man, look at these two heads. We finally have Ford as Indy... and TWO ways to go!

 

[rhboyd]

yessir!! we are lucky indeed!!! but MJ's hat... well... it's not great. Inigou talked about doing a replacement hat... hoping that happens. the crown on MJ's is SO similar to Hot Toys... almost like a mold...

Yes, MJ's hat clearly needs to be replaced unfortunately. But such a wonderful sculpt and expression. I almost see an older Ford in MJ's though; more weathered, nose more crooked. Inigou's reads like a much younger Ford.









Inigou did post that MJ gave him the OK to do a new hat to fit. So a third sculpt: MJ face with Inigou hat!


As much as I'd hate to cover it up, MJ's head would make an awesome Arab Disguise Indy with the HT gear. That facial expression is perfect for watching the Staff of Ra light up.

[rhboyd]

you make some good good points!! bottom line is that we're in glorious Indy times... and I am NOT complaining!!!!

 

[Raymond F.]

It is nice to see that there's finally after our years long quest worthy sculpts of one of the most elusive and highly needed likenesses and sculpts of all time.

Inigous sculpt is a bit too small. mJs is a bit too big. But not die hard McClane big, in fact with the Kato clothes on a standard advanced it's actually quite proportional.

I hear you guys about the hat but if inigou can't get the rim of the hat as thin as MJ I don't think I want to replace it even though the quest for the perfect Indy continues to be the true holy grail.

 

[IndianaPaul]

Sideshow's Temple of Doom Indy hat might end up working well with the MJ sculpt. The Sideshow sculpt is not too shabby as well, at least the prototype.

 

[Rahmier84]

I think that the Yunsil clothes will be a better fit for the Inigo sculpt as the jacket isn't as thick as Kato and the pants not a baggy. But the MJ, even though it is rather large, almost works with the thicker Kato jacket. Both are great sculpts and just your personal preference of attitude.

 

[karamazov80]

I just darkened up Indys hair and a very small amount of dark added to the eyebrows, and I already think it makes the likeness pop that much more. I think he could use a slightly heavier beard too but im not brave enough to try it.

Flat out gorgeous. I've gotta have one now.

Agree 100%. My personal favourite at the moment is the MJ sculpt, just because of the smirk.

I wonder if anyone will try to mod this into a Deckard or Han sculpt?

im hoping for that too. The only thing that sucks about the MJ sculpt is that it makes the HT Han and my Deckard look bad..

 

[cmiller99]

It's definitely got the right expression for Han. Deckard, I'm not so sure - expression wise, at least. He was pretty depressed in Blade Runner, not cocky like Han or Indy at all.
