A Jawa?! Awesome! He looks great next to that Wicket. Too bad they will cost a ton of $$$...

It's as big as a house on walking legs,

But I think Medicom will really have to work to beat the SS Sith Anakin. I think it's one of the best in Sideshow's line. And the pic of the Medicom version doesn't really look better to me. But time will tell....
Guess Medicom isn't out of the running yet. I had my doubts with those overpirced Indiana Jones pieces of crap. Looks like they are taking a hint from Hot Toys and stepping up the likenesses. I really wish they would get their 1/6 scale problem straightened out. And why do they still use those crappy wrist joints. You can't pose them for ...... River Jones will look great with my SS Indy though, and the Jawas and Clones are so on my list. Fortunately, I already have some Clones and they are in SS scale, not Medicom 1/6.
so much for saving up for recession...time to pull out home equity or 401k. anybody need a kidney? the 1:1 kind. i think they did batman right this time.
That Anakin is incredible! I think HT has Medicom beat as far as Joker is concerned, at least clothing-wise. That Solo is pretty nice, too...but so is Sideshow's version for a LOT less $$.
Well, Han still lack the likeness of Harrison Ford and I can pass it off as a Anime version of Han But I'm not sure why they want to make something that Sideshow have already made... kinda felt redundant to me. Furthermore, Sideshow is their authorised distributor in the States, wouldn't it be conflicting of interests? Businesses....
Anyway, hope these will be displayed in our very first local major toyfair next week where Medicom had announces its participation
That Young Indy is a dream come true for me. I hoped with the new Indy film and all the licensed figures being released from the franchise that we'd get a Young Indy and this just makes my day, my year, and possibly my decade. Parts of the outfit look a little off -- what is going on with those leggings? -- but who cares with a sculpt that good. If the hair is part of the sculpt it might make fitting a hat a little hard, but believe me, I will not complain!
What's really awesome is finding this out just a few days after the thread about a River Indy sculpt. Talk about serendipitous!
About the other figures, I have the Hasbro Jawa and Wicket, and I wouldn't give either of them up for the Medicom versions. I don't get the Han Solo -- how many Han's do there really need to be? His head looks way out of proportion to his body. Of course, if the figure is undersized, the head is probably scaled just right to a normal size 1/6 scale body. Anakin's hair just looks totally bizarre.
I'm not really much of a Batman person, but Bruce Wayne's suit look great and the Christian Bale head looks right on. The Joker is also pretty impressive.

Reason: added additional comment
At this point, there are only three lines I want. Indy (Which River will stand proudly next to my soon to be beautiful Sideshow Indy), The Dark Knight and Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters will most likely be a custom line for me. But I have to say Medicom has done Batman spot on this time. Unfortunately he'll be slightly under-scaled, and there for I'll be screwed because he'll look like a small child in the tumbler. Oh well, he's still awesome.
River Phoenix however is just beautiful. Best likeness I've ever seen on any Medicom figure.

Medicom came out with guns blazing!
It's a very nice line up and some great work on sculpts as well. I'm just pissed off that they didn't bring the Alien along...
Wow, these figures look fantastic! I agree that the Young Indy is the best looking one, but the others are right up there. Han, Batman, Bruce, The Joker, etc.

The Dark Knight line up looks amazing, better than HTs that is if Medicom can keep up with their quality control (the show great prototypes but lack on the final product ie. Old Snake anyone!). As for their Clone Troopers, all I can say is enough of the DC14s okay, give a trooper the standard issue DC17 blaster rifle for crying out loud.

I love Medicom and have quite a few of them. I hope they fix that body problem. i.e. easy to break legs and shoulders. I have figured a way to fix them, but for the very high price, I shouldn't have to.
ANAKIN. will be MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! .. hmm wonder if he comes with 2 heads.. sith and jedi. or will they re-release anakin later with a Mustafar lava damage singes on the outfit and sith eyes ?
