The Official pictures have now been released and my opinion has stayed the same as far as purchasing goes. Nice job on portraying the character though. Check the pictures below, yo joe!

Hot Toys - DX05 - Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark): 1/6th scale Indiana Jones Collectible Figure
Hot Toys - DX05 - Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark): 1/6th scale Indiana Jones Collectible Figure
Alright, so here it is.. the first Hot Toys Harrison Ford head sculpt! Failure. I'm in no way trying to be harsh, I'm just saying. I thought this was going to be absolutely spot on.. I was wrong. To me, the head sculpt only looks correct from certain angles. Others not so much. As for now, I will have to pass on this release. Shame! I'm still definitely looking forward to seeing their recently announced Star Wars license. Help us Hot Toys Ltd., you're our only hope (I kid, I kid.. Sideshow rocks!).
Back to Indy, the first picture shows the best resemblance. The next reveals the obvious problematic areas (Hat sits too high, likeness slightly off, thick neck and baggy clothes). Everything else looks very nice. I really like the inter-changeable hair styles (I noticed they're doing this with RE4: Afterlife Alice too). As well as all the many accessories.
On a final note, it seems like it still needs something more. Considering it's a DX and has a price tag of almost $250.00USD, it just feels overly priced and overall lacking. Come to think of it, I wonder if Sideshow Collectible's involvement had anything to do with all the flaws in this product? You never know. Like I said before: MINE? Nope. Enjoy the images.

Sideshow Collectibles - G.I. Joe: 1/6th Stalker (Sneak Peek)
Sideshow Collectibles - G.I. Joe: 1/6th Stalker (Sneak Peek)
I've been a fan of G.I. Joe ever since I can remember, so the fact that Sideshow Collectibles has started producing 1/6th figures for this franchise is just neat. As excited as I was, up until Beachhead - I wasn't really "feeling" the majority of the characters for one reason or another. After ordering and receiving my Sideshow Exclusive version of Beachhead (With totally awesome extra Portrait and Beret!), I have found the urge to track down a few of the earlier releases. Specifically, Sideshow Exclusive versions of: Duke, Cobra Commander and a Red Ninja or two. Everything else is not worth it to me at this point.
Truth be told, I really wanted to pick up Cobra Commander - the reason I didn't being: I was a bit sour at first about SSC choosing to make the hooded "KKK" version over my preferred "Mirror Mask" style. I'm a relatively young collector and I grew up on the 1985 Sunbow produced Movie/Show (Yes, Cobra La is amazingly mind-blowing. lol.), so of course those are the versions I would be most satisfied with.
Anyways, Sideshow Collectibles should be releasing the preview pictures for Stalker tomorrow (January 25th, 2011) and those of you who have more interest in this character should be excited! Me? I'm waiting for General Hawk! Plus I want more main Cobra characters, such as Destro, Dr. Mindbender and Zartan. As for the troops? An orange & blue Alley Viper (Including removable helmet & flip-up visor with H.U.D. inside!) would be my dream come true, but I doubt it'll ever happen. At least they remade him in 3-3/4th size, GO HASBRO! Also, a Range Viper would be wicked too! So, final verdict: Stalker will not be.. MINE! Can't wait to see the official pictures though, maybe they'll change my mind.. lol. Sike.
