Well, with the massive success of the new game and the Mezco Indiana Jones getting into people’s hands, thought it was time for a thread. The Mezco turned out okay, maybe not as stellar as most were hoping for, but it’s definitely passable. The SHF might still be the best though. Curious, has anyone else been picking up the adventure series on discount? It honestly was a good line, cut short by poor sales. Wish Dial of Destiny performed better, but oh well.
>>11259176Mezco be SHF
>>11259177*vsHere’s a closer look at the Mezco
>>11259177The SHF absolutely mogs the Mezco lmao.
>>11259177Can you swap the heads or is the Mezco body too big? I feel like it could have done with molding certain parts in plastic like the holsters, too. The shf heads really do look good in comparison.
>>11259196The heads are certainly bigger, but I’m not sure I’d say it mogs. The soft goods actually look quite good on the Mezco and he’s essentially looks seamless besides the neck, I was never a huge fan of that chest cutout on the SHF.>>11259200I’m not sure, those were just pictures I found online. I ordered mine on BBTS so it’ll probably be a while till I get mine.
>>11259176Unlike the pallets of Marvel and Star Wars trash, it looks like only a case or two of Adventure Series showed up at Ollie's, unfortunately. Kazim (who I did grab) and Phoebe Waller Bridge's character are all that's likely to be found, now.I'm happy with my SHF Indy, but I might grab the Mezco plinth once the figure gets parted out on eBay.
>>11259177Why are Mezcos so tall now? I thought they used to be undersized
>>11259176>massive success of the new game
>>11259225>Mezco pleather jacketYeah it's living on borrowed time.
>>11259384Has Mezco pleather deteriorated in the past?
>>11259384>>11259391I've owned several Mezcos with the plether for a number of years and I've experienced no real problems with mine. I know some experienced issues with the earlier figures like the Mutant Leader but I wanna say, as long as you're not a retard, they should last just fine. Now at the same time I live in a fairly dry climate with central air that keeps my stuff at a reasonable temperature, so that may help.
>>11259391I don't care what fags in this thread say, it's not living past 5-6 years. Pretty much every Mezco Dread has deteriorated.
>>11259411>as long as you're not a retardYes as long as you don't pose or otherwise handle the articulated action figure, it should be fine
>>11259433not him, but my Judge Dredd is still holding up.This isn't to say pleather won't deteriorate and it is a matter of time before it starts to crack. I generally stay away from pleather goods, but to pass up on a great Judge Dredd figure? Couldn't.I also own 3a's Judge Dredd villains and they're still in perfect condition.
>>11259433I've kept mine in fairly dynamic poses for years at a time, and they've been fine. I won't say that there aren't issues, but on any of the ones I own, I haven't experienced any. At least with the plether. I've had other issues on various figures.
>>11259176>massive success of the new gameThere was a new game?
>>11259480It just released. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
>Massive successIt's another flop actually.

>>11259516you realize it’s free on gamepass on Xbox and PC right? so most of the players are going to be there. Not to mention it got stellar reviews across the board.
>>11259526Journo reviews don't mean shit, they slobbed on Dragon Age's tranny cock as well, and they gave Concord 7s and 8s out of 10. Game pass isn't going to make an AAA game turn a profit either.Not even 50k players on release-day for a game that costs hundreds of millions? FLOP.
>>11259176The clothing on the mezco looks good but I can't get past that face. They really seem to have trouble with actor likenesses more often than not.
>>11259176Movies flop, game underperforms, expensive Hasbro-license IP figures underperformed. The alleged video game action figure you guys SWORE was coming obviously never happened. Give it up. Be thankful you got a half assed 6" line because I don't think you'll ever see any mainstream Indy figures at regular retail for another few decades.
Which of the Hasbro Indy's is the best?
>>11259176So glad this boomer shit is dead
>>11259177SHF is not only the better Indy figure, but the grinning face it has gives it big gigachad energy
>>11259719Too bad it doesn’t look anything like Harrison Ford
>>11259728Looks more like him than the Mezco does. Not looking like an Irish Jew might be a plus though.
>>11259177still don't understand why people can tolerant the silly proportion of mezco
>>11259910The proportions look completely fine to me.
Mezco will always be better than shf. What kind of cope thread is this even. This is the most unrealistic shill attempt I've seen yet.
>>11260079weird bait but I’ll allow it
>>11259176same dead eyed stare as retrobuttblasting
I actually think the headsculpt is quite good, I definitely see Ford there
>>11259176Was pretty fond of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull line from back in the day.
>>11259728it objectively does, dummy.
>>11260892I’m not seeing it, it’s close in some aspects but completely misses on others. Not to mention the SHF makes him look way older.
>>11260149I dunno.. maybe with a better paintjob..
>>11259719Y'know, with some parts swapping, we can make it even better.
>>11264353I hope you’re joking
Well the game has reinvigorated my love for the franchise after 2 less than stellar games, what toys should I pickup? I’ve been eyeing up the adventure series and it seems most of it can be gotten pretty cheap so I’ll start there.
>>11260149That stubble looks rough
>>11268469Adventure Series is pretty good, it's a western company but that also means you get some characters you wouldn't.No nazis sadly. Well some, but no generic foot soldiers for Indy to beat the shit outta.
