The fedora MUST be sculpted on, removable=FAIL. Also, the sculptor should not base the size off of the HT sculpt, as it is too small to begin with imo. :duff

Re: [MJ12] Vote for the high quality sculpt you would want as the next project!
No, please do not size it for the DX Indy body (TTM-19), the neck is much too thick and that was one of the main problems with the Indy release, was that that body just wasn't Indiana Jones. The head should be sized to regular HT body (21, or just regular narrow shoulder body)
The HT head is too small and trying to size this new sculpt for the HT hat will also result in this new head being too small. I strongly recommend that the artist do his/her own thing, and do not try and make it compatible with the existing DX Indy stuff.

Sorry, I didn't read through all the posts in the thread, I just got so excited when I read axe's post, I jumped into action.
I'm interested in a Indy!
Cool, have no interest in Mr. Jones. Save me some $.
Re: [MJ12] Vote for the high quality sculpt you would want as the next project!
Considering the exposed neck, I would personally prefer to use the TTM-19 or equivalent over a TTM-21. But the best solution would be a more narrow shoulder body with sculpted neck.
Well, the problem here would be that though some of us would try to port this over to a new body and do other mods, I suspect the majority of those ordering would want to do as another boardie said earlier, and just pop it onto the DX body/outfit. I think in terms of skin tone, that it should match the DX-05 for the sake of satisfying most. But I also agree that matching it to the previous DX Indy head size might be a mistake.

Even though I voted for Corleone to go with my Don Vito there is a good chance I'll be in for an Indy or two (if you do both RotLA and ToD versions).

I think if you're nuts enough to spend $200 on a painted Indy head, you realize that enough is wrong with the DX Indy that a straight head-swap is not good enough. . . but that's just me, I'm not judging.
And for painting's sake, yes, you can match that dark tanned HT tone.
As for the body, it's true that there is no body that really works for Indy, though I recently acquired the Ezio body that is the narrow shoulders with sculpted neck, which I believe is that standard size HT neck. I would be willing to send that body to the sculptor. . .but that would require an address, which would require the sculptor revealing his identity to me, and ME ALONE!!! mwahahahaha, or he/she could just put MajesticX12 or whatever.

I am happy to pop a $200 sculpt on the existing DX....
Looks like it's actually over $300 for the painted sculpts, shipping included. . .
But I guess the question of where you stop is going to be pretty variable. Some will only be satisfied with Kato jacket, shirt, and pants, new head, and the equivalent of an Ezio body, Joe Strain whip, custom leather pouch and belt, etc. And of course, some accessories and parts from the DX Indy. At that point, you're probably looking at over $1K for your Indy figure. I actually think I might be good with what I've already done, taking the lining out of the DX jacket so it doesn't look so bulky, replacing the head, even at $300, and calling it a day.
But the single biggest issue with the DX, by a HUGE margin, is the awful head IMO. I've currently got a repainted SSC head on it, as I couldn't really stand the DX head by itself.

I think it really needs to be made for the DX05 body and clothes. Most of us who have the DX want a new sculpt. If the new sculpt is for another body/clothing, then we are starting all over at the beginning trying to get everything.
^Exactly. This sculpt is already expensive enough and to have to keep adding to the total will drive many buyers away.

Yeah, this is definitely one heckuva money sink. Still, the pursuit of that perfect Indy head is tantalizing. Although I am in pursuit of Kato clothing and all those wonderful goodies, I agree that the head should be made for the DX05.
Is it really the neck that is so bad with the DX05 body or just the shoulders/arms/head size? I think a slightly bigger head with an arm swap does wonders, which is actually really easy.
Here is mine. Obviously a work in progress. Replaced the arms with Soldier Story arms, of all things.

As long as the final print doesn't turn out like those dreadful WGP heads. Bring it on
