Huigberts Builds Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 6 minutes ago, Retro Brick Reviews said: An Indy figure with spiderweb on his face (presumably from 77015) has leaked on Instagram from the account bluebrickfr. Ooooh, I actually like the hat/hair combo pretty much. I'm not entirely sold on the face yet though, I feel like Star Wars captured Harrison Ford's likeness better. This one is also a bit too cutesy/cartoonish maybe. I'm not sure. I'll have to see it in person I guess. Quote

Sure, but the only viable alternative would’ve been to have the hat and hair in the same colour, which wouldn’t have worked at all. Also, I wonder if we can expect to see this piece in the upcoming JP sets Quote

Grant has brown hair and his hat has a brown band, so the double molding would work perfectly. ...With that said, I just realized something regarding Dial of Destiny: if this a double-molded piece where the hair and hat band are the secondary color, how would this piece work for a gray-haired Indy?

Maybe the band is just printed on. Or it’s a triple mould! Or the hat band is his life force and it ages along with him Edited February 23, 2023 by BrickBob Studpants Quote

Not just for DoD, but (in the miracle we get a second wave) if the band and hair are separate, they could use this same mold for Belloq and Toht. Quote

Agent Kallus Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I kinda hate how they did the webs there. Quote

I'd rather they'd justed done grey lines not white blobs with thick outlines, and dare I say I can can certainly see people reusing it for certain NSFW purposes. Quote

YEAH, when I first saw the leak I did a doubletake ...Though, with this alternate purpose in mind, this head would work great if we got a Bantu Wind set with Indy and Marion's cabin ;) Quote
Legofan2001 Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I’m seeing people say that Indy looks more the grave robber who gives him his hat in TLC and honestly I agree. This figure doesn’t really look like Indy at all. The hair is too dark,and the faceprint should look like Han’s (which funfact compare the OG Indy head to the 2010-2013 Han head and they’re almost identical) overall very mixed. Quote
Portal Out Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Ooooh…sadly not a fan of this fig. The new fedora ended up way too big, it looks a cowboy hat now. Hopefully the proportions will look better when he has the satchel on too (or it’s just a bad angle). Also, I agree that it’s a weird choice to give this gruff, serious character a cutesy pouting face in an 18+ collectors set. Maybe I’m just nitpicking though. I will say that aside from the creative choices made with the face, the actual design and quality of the prints is excellent! Edited February 23, 2023 by Portal Out Quote

DrHenryJonesJr Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 An alleged leak was posted on Instagram at notquiteright_lego_leaks2022 stating that GWP 40588 Jock's Plane was also canceled and LEGO said they managed to cancel that this time before it was leaked Lego 40588 - Indiana Jones - GWP Quote

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Quote
THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Yeah, I think the minifigure is definitely not what I expected. The hat is alright, but it's too bulky. Dark brown hair doesn't look too good either. The face print... is not it. The webs look out of place. The torso is good enough, but I feel like the old one was much more detailed. Legs look bad, especially the belt area. This is a really rare time where I genuinely think the old legs are better, even by today's standards. Quote

If the leak of the character is actually real, I would have hoped for something else as well. Since this is a display set, I could understand wanting to recreate a scene, but of course a character that's a little more generic would be nice if you're going to use it elsewhere. In general, this situation makes me, like many others here, extremely nervous. I really like LEGO and I especially like Indiana Jones. I've been waiting for years for Indiana Jones to finally be re-released. Above all, the postponement of the film and the resulting renewed postponement of the Lego theme was a hard blow. Now I update all pages every hour, since many weeks, to finally find out whether LEGO Indiana Jones is finally coming back and just before the announcement is ready there would be lots of negative leaks and news. I hope that in the end everything is just unnecessary fuss and that everything will be released as planned. I found it sad that only 4 sets should appear in the first wave. Now maybe only 3 and one of them with a display figure,... Hopefully the whole thing doesn't fail completely in general. That would be a hard blow Here in Austria I've had the SmythsToys catalog with the inlay with the announcement and the teaser for the Indiana Jones wave for weeks at home and I'm happy. It would be a real shame if all of that failed. Quote
sammy_zammy Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 People complaining about the cobwebs… surely it’s a double sided face? Quote

DrHenryJonesJr Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I would have briefly considered the possibility of the double-printed head, but it seems to me that the hairpiece doesn't go down far enough to cover the cobwebs if you turn your head, or am I wrong? But of course one could still hope for that. Or the option to include a replacement / alternative head, which is also occasionally the case in LEGO City and Lego Friends sets, but less so in licensed sets. But the option would be possible Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 It’s a double sided face. Other side is Indy smiling Quote

THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 A retailer listed all the sets with the descriptions — and guess which one isn't there https://www.joueclub.fr/jeux-de-constructions-maquettes/lego-indiana-jones-77012-la-poursuite-en-avion-de-combat-5702017190457.html https://www.joueclub.fr/jeux-de-constructions-maquettes/lego-indiana-jones-77013-l-evasion-du-tombeau-perdu-5702017190464.html https://www.joueclub.fr/contenu/resultat-de-recherche-produits.html?searchText=77014 https://www.joueclub.fr/jeux-de-constructions-maquettes/lego-indiana-jones-77015-le-temple-de-l-idole-en-or-5702017190488.html I truly hope it's a design flaw and it'll release later on, but it's not looking good.

RODDY Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I actually kinda like the new Indiana Jones mini figure, I just hope he comes with his satchel. Quote
