    Custom of the Week - 1/14/2013 - Dr. Jones

    This week the spotlight falls on mejogim's finely-crafted Indiana Jones figure and playset. All the little touches make this feel like a mini Sideshow prototype.
















    See the original discussion thread here:

    Been working on this on and off but really got going during my Christmas Vaca. It is a part custom, part kit bash . . . . the figure started as the Castaway Indy from a few years back, replaced the head (thanks greenlantern9999), drimmeled the hat to fit, distressed the jacket & boots, added the PM AJ shoulder bag (thanks

            Very nice. I just started mine. So far I have the head. The Castaway outfit is nearly impossible to find at this point.

                      thanks everyone! always an honor . . . . however, i would be remiss if I took full credit . . . .lots of help went into this (parts and such). . . . . and I got the basic concept from Chris' (Capt Mego) great indy figure that Derek has, I just took it a step further. It's really a testimony of how cool this community is!

                        Super nice work Jimbo. Love the little enhancements and additions you made to yours. The case is super cool.

                        here is the link to Cap Mego's Indiana Jones if anyone wants to take a peek:

                        "If Belloq could see me now..." "Steady...steady....you can do this Indy...." "You are mine, you fierce, beautiful beast! Uh oh, what was that?" This is a modification of the Captain Mego Indiana Jones that I purchased:
