Tbh I’m probably going to skip on this line sadly because someone Hasbro managed to take a step back and ignore all of the engineering advances they have included in their other figure lines. Single jointed elbows and knees???? No diaphragms, no upper or lower ab crunch? Cumbersome overcoats and rigid hair????? Boy, what were they thinking?
I wonder if this is because they tried to recycle as much as they could from their earlier 2008 line of figures. Granted, those were 3.75 inch scale, but IIRC the molds are made at a larger scale at the beginning and then scaled down, so I imagine they could be used. When I first saw these figures, I thought they were scaled-up copies because the outfit choices were the same, but there are differences. Sallah's costume has more detailing. Marion has ball jointed hips. Toht's tie moves with the head articulation. Regardless, I think (and I could be wrong) there are still multiple parts that were simply recycled to keep costs down.
Honestly I think they're banking on people being content with Indy action poses settling for a slight 'action ready' crouch than a MCU hero landing pose. Me personally, I'd rather have joints for days and have it move than for it to be a glorified 2000s era McFarlane statue
Great review, the first one in YT I think. Man than Indy figure does not look good. Makes me doubt to even get it. I mean, I expect them to make more, at the very least a Temple of Doom or Last Cruzade version so I think I'll wait for a revision.
Bummer part too is that because of the new hands you can't swap with Black Series. I don't have figuarts ep4 Han anymore, but it'd be interesting to see if those are swappable
This is a great video. I would love to see figure of Indy wearing his teacher professor clothing as seen in the scene where indy says to Marcus brodie The Nazis have discovered Tanis. This figure could come with bible and blackboard.
@@RobVsToys wow indeed very lucky! My preorders are coming in April, and thanks for saving from minor disappointments when I received the Indy figure, mainly the whip loop, holster, glued on hat and weak arm articulation
Here’s a minor nitpick. Hasbro got indy’s belt buckle wrong. I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be gold, as seen in the movie, but hasbro chose to go with silver for some reason. I’m very excited to have a 6 inch Indy in my collection.
i like the indy figure for what it is, ill def pick up the whole set but only with the hopes that series 2 has a removable hat for indy, theres so many scenes where indy is sliding under something and grabs his hat at the last second id love to recreate those scenes
Boycotting this product in view of the catastrophic Indy 5 movie destroying Indiana jones from the timeline. Whithout respect, we reject. #doomcockwaswright
I'm glad you called out how accurate Marion's sculpt is. I remember when these were first shown from Hasbro and I mentioned in another video that Marion's figure looked to be the best out of the group. NOBODY agreed with me and many thought the Indy figure was the best. 🤨
Great review! But I'm just not liking the look of this wave as much as I thought I would. I just cancelled my preorder. Think I'll wait to see if this go on sale after release.
I'm hoping that this has a similar release schedule to the ghostbuster stuff from last year. Just easy enough to find, but not enough where you wind up with an army of pegwarmers. Then have it go on sale after the movie is out
I was really hoping these were going to be awesome. But the faces are ehh and not having double elbows n knees is a huge bummer and the face scruff on Indy is half ass. Thank you for the review
Cheers! The Indy is gonna live or die by the custom heads you can find. I think it's gonna look 10x better with some quality hand paint but straight outta the box? It's ehhhhh at best
Marion looks better on hand than the previews. However I’m hoping they improve everyone especially Indy (the exclusive face sculpt is pretty good. Toht and Belloq face look good too) face sculpt and articulation, especially looking at their G.I Joe, before official release. Or at least close to Indy’s box art, his box art looks phenomenal! Also their Peter Parker and Ned even Wolverine figure head sculpts are top notch, hoping they can get to that level to resemblance, but at least they look better than Han’s face and thankfully didn’t reuse em. But hey, man can dream right? Also his belt buckle and satchel buckle swapped colors. An inaccuracy I’ve seen from not just Hasbro, but other people. Not sure if it’s like Mandela effect or what 😂 However IM SO HAPPY WE’RE GETTING THESE AND MORE FROM THE SERIES!!!! Been dry of Indy content now it’s time! Also they look pretty good despite what I hope they improve! Cant wait to pour my wallet into em. Also cant wait to see others like Henry Sr or even Mola Ram or even the Knight 👀
They're taking the wrong lessons from the TV Boba and Ahsoka figs with hidden articulation. I know some people dig hidden joints, but I need my figs to MOVE, ya know?
Marion all get for sure. Are these overpriced though? I don’t know. I would preferred all 3:75 though. 6 TBS scale is just Hasbro making money. I can’t resist though on these. 😊 Sean Connery is awesome too.
That's the catch tho, ya know? Pulse has them for $25 each and that to me is def fair. It's when they start charging $35 US for 'deluxe' iron spider or $60 for Blob where it's more blatant price gouging cuz what do you really get for that?
Wow, those are pretty bad. You just saved me a lot of money because I just cancelled most of my pre-orders, I still might pick up the main Indy figure. Those are a big step backwards from Black Series/Plasma Series/Classified series/etc. I expected them to be a lot nicer, they even look cheap.
Seems like it's a new Trend for Hasbro, cuz their newer Black Series are the same way too. They're saving Joe and Fortnite for the Action Figs and Black Series and Indy for Pose-It-and-Forget-It collectors
How much range of motion does one really get out of these new hands? Is it similar to the up/down or sideways hinges? Or is it barely functional like so many hasbro joints?
Honestly it's barely functional. It's about half or less the range of either a up/down or side/side swivel and pops off if you try and get too clever with it. Sleeves get in the way too of anything Action-y. If that mushroom ball in the arm breaks too, you're screwed (unless you stick tak it back and hope it holds)
Right? Can't wait to be offered an 'exclusive' version with an alt head and no coat for an extra $10. Or the exact same fig with muddy shoes and a snake deluxe Mandalorian style
today I spoke to god and I told him, "god can you please give me the most beautiful trophy in the world, I feel like I deserve it, I feel like I should enjoy it and I feel like it should represent something I have most dreamt of since I was born", I felt god whisper something in my ear afterwards, he said "Has- In- Jon-", I was confused on what he said until I found out that this video came out, and I remembered the time my brother sent me pictures of these figures, I was not interested since I was focused on the new marvel legends extremis iron man, but now, now I truly see a memory, a dream, a hope that was for filled, a 6 inch, fully posable, hasbro, well made, Indiana Jones
Nice review!!! I'm sitting here with my wholesalers list, and trying to determine how many cases to order 😅, it's such an unknown because we've never had these in 6 inches before. They look amazing, shame about Indy's hat not being removable though.
Cheers! I dunno, I'd probably err on the side of caution for full set cases. Sure, casuals and collectors alike would grab an Indy, but how many people would NEED a Sallah or Belloq, you know? I feel like this whole extended line is targeting a very narrow, select group of collectors 40+ who grew up on the Series. Cuz lord knows they've done virtually nothing with it for anyone younger. Good luck!
kind of cool...but not great thankfully. glad I'm cutting back on collecting, so probably an easy pass. can't stand the closed boxes still on top of price etc.
Oh man, these look awful...I'm honestly really disappointed. I wish these figures would have been 3.75" inch like before, especially more so now because of how terrine these figures are.
Toht's mismatching black overlay and limbs looks awful. So many of these choices i'd expect and forgive from a start up company not one with decades of experience.
I'll need to try a Matte spray or soap bath for the limbs to get the default gloss off and see how it looks, cuz that jacket is as flat Matte as they come
Super 7 just came out with a Willow toy line, in the old Kenner style. You can get them online and at the official Disney store. They're great looking and hope I get them for Xmas!! The line features Willow with Elora Danan, Madmartigan, Sorsha, General Kael and Bavmorda and there is another Willow that comes with just a sword. Series 2 is coming soon!
Right? What a mixed bag (and why i hate them using renders on everything now). Indy and Sallah look great on the box, but Marion and Toht look 10x better in person. It's a total toss-up
@@RobVsToys I have a conspiracy theory that they switched packaging so you don’t know what your really getting until you’ve bought and payed for it. If I had collected hasbro’s 6” line I wouldn’t be anymore
They said 5 waves and each will be a movie. Guessing next wave wil be temple of doom, than last crusade, then the aliens movie and then they will put out a 5th wave around the time the new movie comes out.
I never had a figure of Indiana Jones, but this one looks really good for an articulation similar to Star Wars, big surprise that Hasbro didn't use this articulation in some Marvel Legends that doesn't need to have full articulation.
Nice review. Really happy to see Indy toys again but these aren’t doing it, specially with the new price bump. Huge bummer. Hoping the next waves are better, I need Indy on my shelf again
I could tell just looking at the pictures: those are scaled up versions of the old 3 3/4" ones. Anyone would be better off buying the 3 3/4" for much much less.
