Hello. If you have not yet started another run, I would like to be removed from your list. Regrettably, I’ve got some more pressing matters that need financing. Please let me know. Thanks.Hello,
I am interested in the hero aged with glass eyes and the status of your next run. I just read through the last 48 pages and found the whole process/ timeline and handling of projects during the dark days of COVID to be fascinating. These look so much better than the stuff being sold on EBay/elsewhere. I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Ed
I won't be doing any work from Christmas to the New Year. So, they will definitely not be ready until at least some time in January....Thanks for the update. My budget for this year is through, so I am not sad about the delay.
Will they probably be ready mid January? I have some packets waiting and combined shipping might make sense unless you can ship to EU at a very good price and customs friendly.
Thanks. I have no hurry and gladly erase that "problem" from the back of my head until next year.I won't be doing any work from Christmas to the New Year. So, they will definitely not be ready until at least some time in January....
Are these still for sale? I have been looking for a 1:1 metal replica for quite some time. If these are for sale, would it be possible to mount a small rare earth disk magnet inside of the base/bottom of the idol prior to finishing so that I could have it trip a reed switch when picked up?So, I've been working on this 'on and off' for the past couple of years, and finally have it ready to show.
I received an Idol casting from a friend of mine that received it from his friend at ILM. (Names are being protected for obvious reasons...)
The details on the casting were amazing and you could tell right away that it was the raw sculpt and was also used as the Stunt Idol. After examining it more closely compared to the Hero Idol at LucasFilm, it was easy to see that they had used the Stunt Idol to modify and make the Hero Idol that we see Indy replacing with a bag of sand. Evidence is seen in all over of the Idol including the hair close to the hands, which would obviously be changed if it were an entire new sculpt. The hair lines matched up exactly for anyone to say it was an entire new sculpt. In a way, it is an entire new sculpt, given the amount they have changed, including the face of the Idol, especially the face of the 'Baby'.
So, for the past year and a half, I've been modifying the Stunt Idol into the Hero Idol that we see on film and what we have seen at Propstore.

I'm working on a run right now, but they are all reserved at the moment. I'll add you to the list and let you know if someone backs out at the last minute, which usually happens. If not, you'll get one from the next run! Thanks!Are these still for sale? I have been looking for a 1:1 metal replica for quite some time.
