figuarts by far has the best face sculpts in 1:12 scale. the only problem with the figuarts is the strap for his satchel was a bit too short cause his satchel is supposed to hang below his coat.
So Mezco's customer service licks, hunh? I just had a situation w/ my Indy order not going through and they worked hard to get me back into an order que to complete my order. They even sent it out NextDay (for the price of regular shipping!) so we'd get it by Christmas. It took a few emails over, say, 3 days, but I got my order confirmation & and it's on the way. I'm big on customer service. It can turn my opinion around completely on a company's stuff. I'm still buying S7 here & there because of the guys at the store & their customer service. Idk, I just like to give a shout out to these guys when they actually do something right. Good vid.
The face sculpts look good. Are they perfection?..nope, no Mezco has done that. Overall it’s a nice figure that needs the head to sit a bit higher. Also the coat needs some weathering & holster should close better. Whips should have bendy wire & that would make it excellent.
Probably not cycling gear anymore or at least not like he used to. Dwayne Johnson on the other hand keeps using gear to get unnaturally big for his roles. There's no way his chicken, rice, and broccoli are giving him his size.
all around best Indiana Jones is the Figuarts. Best one with the highest quality at the lowest price is the Figma version. The Mezco one jacked the price out of control and justified it by the diorama piece and gratuitous accessories.
Hatter, I am in awe of alot of what the more artisan side of the toy creators out there Mezco, NECA, and others. I really wanted to like this figure when it was dropped but the likeness did not sell me. The price did not help but the diorma piece and accessories were supposed to justify the cost. It did not. I am glad you like it for the most part. The Dave Batista head sculpt comparison is madly satisfying 😏✌️
The hat isn't painted right at all; color's wrong, the headband is barely painted at all. The jacket doesn't fit correctly and is too small. The shirt is cheap, awful stitching. The head sculpts are *awful* and painted terribly. I'm so glad I didn't spend $130 on this thing. I mean, with some customization, a re-paint of the heads (or better yet, just REPLACE the heads with a more accurate 3D printed sculpt) and other work, it could end up looking good, but - for $130, you shouldn't have to. That's nearly the price of a very well-made 1/6 third-party figure. This is a $60 figure, at best for how it was made. I wouldn't be surprised if this thing costs Mezco $20 bucks a unit. You can get MUCH better-made 1/12 clothes from third-party makers. This isn't nearly as good as the marketing pics. And even they looked a bit wonky. This looks like a Temu product or something. I spent $60 to make my own 1/12 Indy custom with real, soft goods clothes and it looks MILES better than this thing.
Is it possible that there'll eventually be a non-exclusive release, with less accessories (maybe without the spiderwebs, the torch, the fertility idol and the pedestal, the bag of sand, arrows)? As far as the likenesses go, Harrison Ford is always one of those that's impossible to get 100% right (other one is Bill Murray). I think it's close, but the jawline seems soft.
S.H. Figuarts knocked the head sculpts out of the park, though he is a bit smaller scale. Worth the money %100. Also did the Young Indiana Jones series happen in your mind? LOL. Some cool stuff in that.
The new hot toys looked half decent, and their most recent Han Solo looked almost 100% there, but you’re right, beyond that? I’ve not seen a decent Ford.. He has a very annoyingly difficult face to mold well.. Even Arnie Kim couldn’t quite nail it…
It’s just his opinion jeez! I’ve seen a lot of review and everyone else loves it. Have you seen the sh figuarts Indy in anyone’s top 10s or even a review saying that it’s a must have figure??? I feel like a lot of people are hurting right now and it’s just easier to cope that they passed on it!
About 85% there but defo not good enough. Are they paying inhouse Sculpters or random Peeps. I just don't understand how this goes to production like this and that Leather or Pleather Jacket is not right either.
To be fair, ALL plastic degrades. In 30 years, most of our collectibles will end up with sticky parts. If pleather is kept in normal temperatures it can last decades and still be like new.
The seam for the hair is terrible and the likenesses look like Dennis Quaid. Very limited ankle articulation. Shape of the hat is wrong. Holster is big and can't close properly. Some nice touches would've been a magnet in the base of the idol and the center section of the idol pedestal being movable so you can have it in the idol position or lowered sand bag position.
I have a friend who does not collect toys but likes to be very critical about any real world interpretations and likenesses. She has saved me so much money when she gives her brutal honesty about promo shots or figures I've bought. It's made me more critical as well because I do agree with her more often than not, especially as the price of the figure goes up. I can excuse Hasbro here and there, but Mezco or import companies? Time to sack up and face facts. There's too many toys out there. She was down on Indy from the beginning but I wanted him because he's Indy. I don't like it. It's got some cool gimmicks with the hat and hair, but I think even Hasbro pulled off the likeness better. Of course the figure arts is the king if you're going to have one Indy. But I don't, I have to have them all. And it's not just the face. It's the cut of the clothing which Mezco honestly always gets wrong. Look at any other soft goods, like the Metal Slug figures. Mezco coasted on capes and superhero tights, but I think they lose it with their real world attire. Even my beloved Street Home, and punk skulls. It just fits slightly wrong and the fabric thickness doesn't work at the scale. We might be a little more used to it as toy collectors cuz we spend our days with tiny plastic people, but when I bring in my non collecting family or friends, I want them to think stuff is cool and inevitably., it's the soft goods that always takes them out. Mezco Gwen was my biggest disappointment lately. Why did they have to use a pleather material when previous Spider-Man figures in Black had a better material? I got that figure the same day. I got some Jada toys Street fighter and it was night and day between my user enjoyment and experience. Not just the fabric but hands popping off and accessories not fitting. I don't know. I have the same investment in Indy because I bought it, but especially for the price and the stupid forced deluxe package, it did not deliver. Even my Hasbro figures are just more fun to actually pose and goof off with. At the end of the day that's what I need out of a toy.
@@redadamearth Except according to the video, MHR said the point was about the likeness. He also brought up the price a few times as setting an expectation for the likeness
If no company can get the fabric right, kinda a moot point there. Why own lesser product just for soft goods. If it comes to that, I take the plastic. Just because you can do a thing doesnt mean you should, and in this case Mezco can't even do.
Figuarts is well known for absolutely nailing actor likenesses more often than not. I can't think of any company that accomplishes it better at 1/12 scale.
@Thee_Deputy I don't buy too much Marvel stuff from them, but their likenesses for Star Wars characters are uncanny. In your opinion, which company does a better job with Marvel likenesses at that scale?
It's at least better than the Adventure Series Hasbro fig, but not for $70 bucks, dude. Plus, this figure is for people who want a 1/12 Indy with real soft goods clothes. A much better one can be made than this, though. I spent $60 on a soft goods 1/12 Indy custom I did and it's better than this thing.
@@freakshow1890 except I love many toys, I have lots of videos showing said love. You should check them out before making uninformed blanket statements.
Let me guess you are only seeing this video and judging a entire view on this person 😂 that’s bad profling I guess you don’t know about honest reviews Why do you want so many toy UA-camrs to lie about the product That’s scummy
Even with your critique, I’m liking the look of this figure. I may have to search one out for myself.
You are correct, 3 and ONLY 3.
they did his stunt double.
figuarts by far has the best face sculpts in 1:12 scale. the only problem with the figuarts is the strap for his satchel was a bit too short cause his satchel is supposed to hang below his coat.
The Figuarts Indy is fantastic! They knocked that one out of the park.
I gotta say that i expected multiple back drops to come with it especially with the size of the box.
What? the likeness is amazing for the size! their is no mistaking who are what that figure is, as long as you weren't born yesterday!
First head kinda looks like Keanu Reaves
They need a Short Round movie Ke Huy Quan is killing it lately, and he used to do stunt work
So Mezco's customer service licks, hunh?

I'm utterly destroyed. I'm beside myself. I got one coming and you have me BUMMED out. I might just drop it in a Toys for Tots bin. Damn
lol the road to recovery will be hard but I believe in you
Bro it’s a great figure don’t listen to someone who buys super 7 figures! lol I’m jp but just be your own person it I promise you’ll love it.
That Harrison ford head looks like it comes from the McFarlane toy line.
The open mouth head looks like the doll they replace Dennis with on Always Sunny 😂
The face sculpts look good.
Are they perfection?..nope, no Mezco has done that.
Overall it’s a nice figure that needs the head to sit a bit higher.
Also the coat needs some weathering & holster should close better.
Whips should have bendy wire & that would make it excellent.
“Will I have…chosen wisely?”
Have you seen the s.h figuarts Indiana Jones? He looks way better than this figure. That's just my opinion.
The figuarts figure is all plastic, not soft goods.
I just got the sh figure arts Indy on Amazon and I’m really impressed with him. I was waiting to see if the mezco was any good.
@@redadamearth but in my opinion it's better than the Mezco version. Plastic and all.
Delusions!
It is hard to make a face like Harrison Ford in Raiders. I heard SHFiguart has a good one, but I don’t have it to compare!!!
Have you seen Dave Bautista lately? He's real skinny, at least compared to what he used to be.
Probably not cycling gear anymore or at least not like he used to. Dwayne Johnson on the other hand keeps using gear to get unnaturally big for his roles. There's no way his chicken, rice, and broccoli are giving him his size.

U should get the SH Figuarts, it actually has a better likeness than Mezco's.
A new hope han solo Figuarts has the best Harrison Ford head i think at 1/12 scale.
Dave Bautista haha I cant unsee it. You have e dying Hatter
Hatter could do a great Harrison Ford impersonation.
The hat isn't painted right at all; color's wrong, the headband is barely painted at all. The jacket doesn't fit correctly and is too small. The shirt is cheap, awful stitching.

That’s Dennis Quaid.
This figures headsculpt has more of a "comic book" likeness to Harrison Ford...

In my top 5 figure of the year!
About 85% there but defo not good enough. Are they paying inhouse Sculpters or random Peeps. I just don't understand how this goes to production like this and that Leather or Pleather Jacket is not right either.
You are totally right. It’s close but something isn’t right.
I am a Mezcultist, but i am voting for the Figuarts on Indiana Jones.
What is it with him and Mark Hamill? They just struggle with their faces so bad.
its a smirk bro smirk lol
omg it is Dave Batista.... yeah I agree, it doesnt look like indy, and I dont like the fact the hat wont come off and the heads look like that, lol...
Here for it 🔥
Mezco is awful at capturing actor likenesses, the unmasked Logan heads for the new Deadpool & Wolverine figure look so bad 😑
Did you survey the right dig site? Did you punch the right goon? Did you eat the right date? It looks like tough adventuring dude.
The authentic brown flakes from the fake leather jacket are going to look real nice on the display shelf
To be fair, ALL plastic degrades. In 30 years, most of our collectibles will end up with sticky parts.
If pleather is kept in normal temperatures it can last decades and still be like new.
Wait until they start school. Petri dishes they are
He has a little bit of William Shatner and Ron DeSantis going on
“He chose… poorly”
lol it’s does look like Dave Bautista or maybe he’s even got a little Theo Von going on.
This is a great figure....but if you want a Harrison ford figure go with the sh figuarts version.
Sh figuarts always seems to nail the Harrison Ford likeness

The seam for the hair is terrible and the likenesses look like Dennis Quaid. Very limited ankle articulation. Shape of the hat is wrong. Holster is big and can't close properly.

Wow. Hasbros Last Crusade and Dial Of Destiny are better... and soft goods are trash.

MHR, you should have gone with the S.H. Figuarts version, buddy. Now that figure belongs in a museum. Better likeness, better price point, Papa Johns
😂
Totally different type of figure, man. Figuarts is all plastic. The selling point here was an Indy figure with real clothes, that's the point.
