So yeah. I've always been a huge fan of the movies, but that looks absolutely nothing like Harrison Ford. How could they get the sculpt so wrong and charge $25? lmao |

Yeah, not sure why the Indy figure's likeness is off. Hasbro has always had issues capturing Ford's likeness perfectly, though the more recent photo-real VC figures really do look like Ford for the most part. I think some of it has to do with his face not being as symmetrical as most people's and sort of crooked, which I think can make face scanning and sculpting it more difficult when transferred to plastic. At least I have heard that makes it more complicated. I could be totally wrong though and maybe the sculptor they got for this new Indy figure just did a lackluster job?

Disney's Indy stuff has always had a "vague" likeness because Harrison Ford wasn't a part of the rides and shows. And because the actors playing Indy didn't look like Ford, the merchandise was given a vague likeness to reflect that.
Heck, IIRC, when I rode the Indiana Jones ride a few years back, they had largely phased out the actors as well (which makes the off-model and off-voice much more an issue) Apparently before the Temple of the Forbidden Eye attraction opened at DL Disney had planned to get Ford to do the voice work and use his likeness for the audio-animatronics, but he was too expensive so they had to settle with a generic looking Indy figures and voice.

So strange they always got Ford wrong but tend to get most others right (well, Luke is usually bad, too).
