Snakes...why did it have to be snakes?

[Grimjohn]

I have been lurking here and taking notes on the various hints and tips for customizing since I found this site in 2011 and have recently thrown my two cents in on others' customs. So, with the holiday weekend at hand and the arrival of the Harrison Ford head I won on eBay, I have finally finished my first custom.

The Indiana Jones films have always been favorites of mine, even Crystal Skull, and I have been slowly acquiring the parts to build him since 2011.

The head is the most recent and final piece that I needed to complete him which I got from juanimal on eBay. The body, shirt, pants and boots are from CTVT. The jacket, hat, gun, holster and whip are from Cast-A-Way (bought in 2011).

I took a bunch of pics but think these two turned out the best, one with flash on, one with flash off.

I hope you all enjoy. So, without further ado I present Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr....

I love to see Indy in mego scale, there are so many possibilities for him! And i loved your tittle too!

[Grimjohn]

Thank you Vinny.

Thank you madmarva.

Thank you Cazafantasma. I was on the fence between the "Snakes" line and the "I don't know. I'm making this up as I go." line but the "Snakes" line won out as I thought the other one would be too obscure of a reference.

Great looking figure, you nailed him spot on with that whip in hand!

[Grimjohn]

Thanks Wayne.

Classic! Great job!

[Grimjohn]

Thanks OM!

[SentientApe]

Looks great!

I cannot exactly see what that bullwhip is made from, but I recently picked up a couple of "Rambo Weapon Packs" at a flea market, so ... if you are interested -- throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip...




No! Wait...


*you... bas-tard...*

[Grimjohn]

LOL...I hate it when I get smashed in the junk by ancient fertility idols...

The whip seems to be a length of knotted leather cord or thread, it came with the "Adventurer's" kit from Cast-A-Way...I just coiled it up in Indy's hand to give the illusion that it was his bullwhip.
