Indiana Jones by Sideshow, 2008

Finally we have Sideshow 1/6 scale 12" Indiana Jones from "Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" - the film that started it all. Set in 1936, Dr Henry Jones Jr a.k.a. Indiana Jones, renowned archeologist and adventurer is hired by the US government to find the sacred Ark of the Covenant before Hitler's Nazis get their filthy hands on it.

Box cover
Indy's stuff includes: one sandbag, coiled bullwhip, the Golden Idol artifact (a golden representation of the Chachapoyan goddess of fertility and childbirth, located inside the Temple of the Warriors in Peru, South America which is the setting of the opening scene), Indy's famous high-crowned wide-brimmed fedora, British Mark VII gas mask bag with leather strap (listed as satchel by Sideshow but was actually a respirator haversack), one Smith & Wesson M1917 .45 caliber pistol/revolver and one Browning Hi-power pistol

The spare hat even has an inner cloth lining but will not fit his head because it's too small and meant just as a prop. Both pistols have removable magazines and cocking mechanisms

The other head sans hat plus three pairs of extra hands

Basic Indy out of the box, wearing his fedora (this one's sculpted together with his head sculpt - Sideshow felt that this was the only way to get the most accurate look), A-2 bomber jacket (faux-leather of course - has zip but no zipper, don't need it since we never see Indy zip up his jacket), trademark khaki shirt (a long-sleeve cotton poplin shirt with shoulder epaulets sporting two distinctive pleats that run from the shoulders through the pockets to the end of the shirt-tail), battledress trousers made of traditional cavalry twill held by a buckle belt, his secondary belt for his Webley pistol holster and quick release catch for his bullwhip, and his preferred footwear, a pair of weathered brown Alden ankle boots.

Close-up of Indiana Jones with fedora hat sculpted on - likeness not quite there IMHO

Another look at Indy's hat from a different angle, along with his gloves, which he wore in the bar shoot out in Nepal and during the truck chase in Egypt.

Indy's very used bullwhip (coiled)

Close-up of Indy's bag slung across his right shoulder (the bag has magnets that ensures that it closes neatly - same goes for the quick release catch on his holster belt for his coiled whip - a very nice touch by Sideshow)

The man with the hat and whip is BACK!!

What's Indiana Jones without his bullwhip? Sideshow gives us an articulated bullwhip (it has a wire running inside, allowing you to pose it in different angles)

Now my collection is COMPLETE :) ...... until new Indys surface
