Hey gang, here are some quick (and crappy) pictures of my upgraded Hasbro Indiana Jones.

Comparison: Naked Hasbro figure and Clothed BBi Figure:

All clothing and accessories are from the Hasbro Talking Indiana Jones figure.
Body is BBi G2
Headsculpt is a BBi G3 figure - I think it was Johann Jurgens or something. I got him from MonkeyDepot.com last year. He has the Harrison Ford scar under his lower lip and I think if I darken his hair he will resemble Ford as Indiana Jones even more.

I originally used the BBi G3 body that came with the headsculpt, but it was too bulky and the shirt looked too tight. I think the BBi G2 body looks better.

Hopefully these lousy pics will encourage people to pick up the awesome Hasbro figure. For $20 you get some very decent clothing. I really like the fedora and the boots. The leather jacket is pretty nicely done as well. The quality far exceeded my expectations.

Where are these popping up so far? Wal-Mart? Target?

I found mine at Target this weekend. I also saw a few at KB Toys.

Good luck finding them!

Nice work! I like your choice of sculpt, too! Actually looks quite a bit like Ford.

 

[rogerbee]

Yeah,

I like that. Hmm, it looks like my plan to put the Hasbro Whipping Indy head on a Neo 3 may not work after all. The HS may well be too small, oh well, I'll still get him though.

CHEERS!

That is a great upgrade, i must say the hasbro indiana jones has some good looking stuff..

 

[Staggerly]

I'm shocked! That Hasbro gear looks really good! Nice headsculpt choice, too. I'd have never made the connection to Ford myself (the likeness is very subtle), but it works great.

 

[Gregorbian]

Thanks guys, I was very surprised by the quality of the clothing and accessories.

I didn't make the connection with the headsculpt until I saw the little scar beneath his lower lip, then I was like, "waitaminute..." :b

 

[pongtana]

I like it. Well done!

 

[gaiagear]

Nice work man. Dig the choice of HS. :thumb

Great upgrade Greg. That HB stuff looks pretty good, and even better with your face lifts. Might have to look for one of these for that nice jacket.

Are you sure it's Johan Jurgens? I'm not seeing Harrison in this pic:

He actually reminds me of William Shatner.

Hmmmmm

CHEERS!

 

[Gregorbian]

Rogerbee - You're right, it's not Johann Jurgens. I thought it was because I remembered that I purchased that figure from MonkeyDepot.com. I might have to go through my past orders and see which BBi figure it is.

Thanks for the head's up!

that looks really good. I was going to get the hasbro Indy figures for my son, but I might pick up one or two for myself.

 

[Iron_Mike]

Looks great! Had doubts about getting one, now i just might! :thumb

The "upgrade" is nice. :thumb
The headsculpt is BBi, but no Jurgens.
It is one of the US Spec Ops guys, named Gunslinger
bbi # 021165.
He has the Bruce Willis likeness to him, IMHO.

BTW, I purchased the Cairo Swordsman last night at Walmart.
Very nice for $19.
I will review him in a separate thread, as I do not wish to derail this one.

Best wishes,
SoF Joe

Very well done upgrade!

 

[rogerbee]

I found him at Monkey Depot and yes, he does look more like Bruce in their pics.

CHEERS!

 

[Gregorbian]

Yeah, I see what you mean in terms of the headsculpt looking kind of like Bruce Willis. I think I will give him a darker brown wash on his hair and see if that brings out more of a Harrison-Ford likeness.

Thanks again for the comments!
