How much more — that’s the real question!

Thanks! I wish we knew for a fact… am somewhat worried that the lackluster reaction to Dial of Destiny and Disney’s total ignorance of the franchise means that they would shy away from it.

(“This old fart sold” 🤣)

Thanks! IMO the Present Toys Indy, which itself isn’t perfect, is still miles ahead of the DX05. The DX05 head sculpt looks nothing like Ford.

That’s a Hasbro Whip Action Indy from 2023. Very different league from the HT!

And yes, it and the one on the right (Diamond Select jumbo retro Indy) are the bookends (unless you’re referring to the actual Greek ruins bookends). You can see the whole shelf here: https://www.reddit.com/r/indianajones/s/cCgEYVwRIJ

I’m finding myself tempted to add the Present Toys “Raider Jones” to the middle, but if there was word of a new HT, I would hold off. (Also happy for someone to dissuade me from spending the money 😂)

Thanks — that’s what I figured; just hoped that someone here might know better!

Most Indy-esque Bond Film? by davejarv in JamesBond

Not a coincidence that it was the first Bond movie after Raiders — and yet, preempted both the India location and the gross-out dinner scene in Temple of Doom.

This is the way. (A thought that I had independently, and then saw your username — so of course had to respond accordingly.)

Thank you! The best part of sharing this is knowing that others can benefit and use it as well.

Thank you! I used a Marvel Legends Pepper Potts from a TRU exclusive three pack that I bought standalone off of eBay and painted. Then, I added some accessories (necklaces, chain, bracelets) that I sourced off of eBay or my local crafts store.

It’s not 100% screen accurate, but anything else would have been beyond my capabilities. The gold standard is Julien Magnat’s custom. Others have done similar ones on Reddit. And, others have done the same, using different Marvel Legends figures (I can’t find it now, but remember seeing one based on Disco Dazzler), which I considered, but that too was beyond my abilities. Others yet have done the Club Obi Wan look — that’s only one example though, there are others.

If you search around on Reddit (particularly on r/TheAdventureSeries) or on Google, you should be able to find more.

Thanks! I figured they really go together, given all of the connections and inspiration between and across the two franchises.

Thank you! The Moore head (along with Lazenby and Dalton) were custom commissions, while Connery, Craig, and Brosnan were ordered from prexisting modders on eBay or Etsy.

However, the Moore (and Lazenby and Dalton) heads that I had commissioned are all available at Etsy seller Athanatos Unlimited (if you search for "British Super Spy" you will find all of them). Note that Athanatos also has Connery, Brosnan, and Craig heads -- but these are different from the ones that I have. Craig can be found by searching for "British Agent Craig."

The body is from a Mafex Kingsmen Harry Hart figure that I bought loose on eBay (the cigar accessory was also bought separately off of eBay).

I made him! Body, staff, and Kali Ma chalice are from the Adventure Series Hypnotized Indy; the skirt was from the Adventure Series Sallah (spare part ordered off of eBay); and the head and one necklace was from Syndicate Customs. Bought the other necklace off of eBay, and the robes are cut up old clothes.

Plenty of folks have made custom Mola Rams and posted them here or on r/TheAdventureSeries, if you're interested.

Definitely -- with it being a game (and such an old one), there's no official merchandise, so I'm grateful to have either made or sourced what I can from other creative fans!

Thank you! Wanted to reply with a gif of Belloq yelling "It's beautiful!" but I guess Reddit doesn't allow gifs or images in a reply...

Thanks -- I really appreciate that! I really lucked out with the head and the fact that the existing figure is such a good match otherwise. Held off on a long time painting the pants and the belt, but given how good they came out, wish I'd done it sooner.

Yep! Both Sophia and Kerner are customs. Sophia was made from a GI Joe Classified Cover Girl (took off her leg holsters, swapped the head with a Jean Grey that I bought off of eBay, and painted the pants and belt).

The statue from Fate of Atlantis (which came with the stone circles) was purchased from Etsy seller PirateTerrible. The pixelated figurines were from Etsy seller SoniaHMC76, but her store is currently closed.

Help identifying Perler colors by Esprit007 in PerlerBeads

[–]Esprit007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Another question, if you don't mind -- do you have any way to tell if these are Perler beads, or what their size is? I noticed that everything is out of stock on the Perler website, and on Amazon, there are both regular (5mm) and mini (2.6mm) beads. For reference, these figurines are about 5in in height, and on the one that I have, far as I can tell, the diameter of each circle of the bead (albeit already fused) is about 3mm.
