News – Figma Indiana Jones Figure Revealed!

So, this certainly isn’t your normal fare when you think of Japanese import figures, but it’s been revealed today that there is a Figma Indiana Jones figure coming from Max Factory! A really good, super posable Indiana Jones figure is long overdue, so I’m sure there will be many fans planning to pick this one up. The Figma Indiana Jones figure looks like it comes with at least two different faces, what looks like a posable bull whip, a rolled up bull whip, pistol, and trinkets from the original three Indiana Jones films. He comes with the golden idol from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark, a Sankara Stone from Temple of Doom, and the Holy Grail from The Last Crusade. It’s scheduled for a March 2014 release at ¥4,800 Yen, or about $49.12 in US dollars.

New Custom Action Figures – Darth Knight 2.0, Dial Tone (G.I. Joe), James Bond (Daniel Craig) 3 3/4″, and Rene Belloq (Indiana Jones) 3 3/4″

Today I’ve got not one, not two, but 4 new custom action figures! I got them done quickly so I wanted to share them together. First up, we have Darth Knight 2.0. If you remember my first Darth Knight custom, it was pretty popular. I’ve updated the detailing on it, and added a couple of new custom accessories as well! Next, we have a 25th Anniversary style G.I. Joe Dial Tone. He’s a recreation of the G.I. Joe Club exclusive Dial Tone figure that is so hard to come by now. I figured out which parts were used, and got a cast head, backpack, and gun from my friend Alyosha over at Broken Arrow Toys, and painted it up! Then, there’s my custom 3 3/4″ Daniel Craig James Bond. He was made from the body of a Rise of Cobra James McCullen, and the head from a Golden Compass figure. And last up, we have Rene Belloq, from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. This figure is a 3 3/4″ as well, meant to fit in with the other Hasbro figures. They never made a figure of Belloq in his white suit, so I took a Jazwares A-Team Face figure, painted it up, and gave him the head from a Rise of Cobra James McCullen with painted hair, and the fedora from an Indiana Jones.

As vast as the character selection was in the Hasbro Indiana Jones toy line, one figure they seemed to miss was Rene Belloq. Yes, we got him in his ceremonial garb that he wore at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but everyone wanted him in his white suit you see him in through most of the movie. So here I took a Jazwares A-Team Face figure, repainted the body white and the shirt baby blue. Also repainted the shoes to look like spats, and repainted the hands. Then took the head from a Rise of Cobra James McCullen figure, and added some gray to his hair. The hat comes from an Indiana Jones, only I made the back of it pop up to match the kind of hat Belloq wore in the movie.
