Where did it all go wrong... Lawyers and Class Action Lawsuits.  Everyone would rather get rich quick, often at others expense, than work hard and make something of yourself.

Some lawyers are dirt poor and would actually make more money as a secretary than as a big bad lawyer.  Not all lawyers are personal injury, class action ambulance chasers.  Just the noes with money.

Just so everyone knows, I think Lawyers are the best. Love 'em. Nothing better. Ought to have a bank holiday dedicated to them... and I'm not just saying that because I know one.

Roflmao I was just waiting for 'the Lawyer' to post an indignant response defending his esteemed profession..........rrnn beat me to the funny reply ! he is Illuminati now so be careful :)

As for the AH I found them in HK so I couldn't say what market they were destined for. I asked if they were back in production or old stock but he was evasive ;) I am watching daily worldwide but not seen any packaged. An Indy/Henry 2 pack went for over £30 a couple weeks back but its mostly wave's 1 and 2 in the UK.

The obvious answer is that it's just a factory miscommunication; the Swordsman was one of the first in production, he was being made alongside Sallah and Belloq, and somebody probably wrote the paint instructions wrong.

Due to the immense over-ordering on Indy, the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
corrected
versions wouldn't have shown up until the later, harder to find shipments.

The new Belloq is more olive, which represents the packaging art better. More often than not, the art is based on the figures, not the other way around. The Swordsman has a darker tint to his skin, so the toys plans should have reflected that initially. It wasn't just Adventure Heroes; the whole Indiana Jones toy line seems to have had a longer-than-usual learning curve. By the time things were finally sorted out, no more Indy.
