Here's a pic of Indy number 2, or my spare or back up Indy :LOL:
He now has the Yunsil jacket now Indy #1 has the Iris set.
He's wearing the Iris holster. I painted the belt darker , more Raiders like and weathered up the holster to be a darker colour also.
Waiting on Inigo V3 for the head upgrade to the Raiders Indy.View attachment 423042
Man, I don’t like you. Not one, but 3 awesome Indys! They look great. Maybe I need a back up Indy.. ?
 
(y)(y)(y) Great Indy figs, guys! hottoysaddict, where'd you get those custom plaques?

I took a pic of the Hot Toys Raiders plaque to an engraving shop and asked them to make it with computer engraving, he said he would have to find the font but he was a Geek and was up for the challenge and was able to do it. Lol
 
Awesome Indy figs and display! Where'd you get the cool stands?


Thank you.

The Raiders stand is made up of a combination of a basic 1:6 stand generic (I think it came with The Steel but don't quote me on that) and the blocks came from the Disneyland Paris exclusive figure (bought on ebay) I spray painted them with a textured paint and then again with a sandy colour.

and the ToD stand is from Hot Toys Assassin's Creed II Ezio

Though I do agree that the Iris set looks nice, I do not think that I could agree that it edges the yunsil set. The yunsil jacket is still the best jacket for me, and that includes Kato's.

Only the yunsil manages to emulate the appearance of the leather of the actual 1:1 jacket. The others all look too thick to be Indy's jacket. Yunsil's only shortcoming is it's a tad too short (and they all are). Other than that it borders on greatness when it comes to representing the jacket and I'm wondering if it will ever be bettered.

If you are after capturing a realistic translation of the thin leather jacket to 1:6 scale, it's still the winner by some distance (for me.... other opinions are available).

I'm certainly not trying to take anything away from this set, or rain on anyones enthusiasm, because this set looks GREAT (and I really like the shirt). And there are some amazing looking Indy's posted here.
