Hi Luis, I just sent my deposit to Iris for outfit and holster, hope I'm not too late. Please would you mind adding me to the list? Thanks!

 

[Luisenigma1]

I don't know if their is a limit in how many sets you can order, but for now everyone is limited to one. I will ask Iris if people can buy more then one.

Ok so after reviewing some images the jacket is definitely not that long it's like how everyone else made it before. However as with research it's obvious that two or more jackets were used. So i found images to seperate the difference with the standard raiders jacket and the stuntman jacket called "The Hero Jacket" this version is longer and pockets are different, not to mention the collar and zipper color. They stated that the zipper was painted a brass color before flaking and showing it's nickle color.

That's the problem with big-budget movies, there's never "one" jacket, there's 10-20+. And, a lot of times there are differences esp. with a "stunt" jacket. Look at the other controversial Ford jacket, (Hoth ESB). Brown or Blue? It was stated that Ford was supposed to shoot 90% of his scenes on a sound-stage. But, things changed and he ended up outdoors much more than expected. So, there's a big chance that his "stage" and "outdoor" jackets were actually very different. But what "kid" watching the movies would ever notice that???

So as far as Indy, whatever jacket we end up getting, it will never match every scene in Raiders.

 

[Mr.E]

I would say stick with what looks "right" in a certain scene and go with that. It has been confirmed that there were several different jackets used in Raiders alone. Instead has a great write-up on this.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Yeah I'm going to stick with the few reference of how it looks. The most important things is the zipper has to look like nickle the buckles for the starps and the length just long enough. I dont want it to be to long but just were it reaches the end seem of the pants pocket and covers the back pockets. I'm sure Iris is tired of me constantly sending references, but i want this set to be so accurate there is no need for another.

 

[The Rogster]

Anybody know where I can still get a nice head?

 

[Luisenigma1]

Happy new year guys. We are close to the start of this run.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Happy New Year! May it be so!

I have to say there's been a lot of love for Indiana Jones the past couple years which has been amazing and so many fantastic customs have come out of it -- knowing how hard and diligently that Luis has been working on this run, I fully expect this project to produce even more amazing Indy figures to come. And you can never have enough Indys.

[Comatoast]
