Indy and Mola, a Love Unrequited
?
So my plan was just to show off this upcoming Indiana Jones Vs. Mola Ram statue from Sideshow, since it’s big and pretty cool and we all dig Indiana Jones. But the more I look at it, the less it seems like Indy and Mola are fighting over the Sankara stones and more like they’re burning with passion for each other. Neither of them particularly look concerned to be holding onto a cut rope bridge, or fighting for their lives– indeed, the bare-chested Indy seems to be thrusting his oddly oiled chest at the Thuggee, while Mola looks at him passionately. The 16+-inch statue isn’t coming out until April of next year, so I suppose we have time to work through all these confusing feelings before any of us buy it. (Via ToyNewsI)
