Because it is certainly a recast and with each recast, the mold/cast shrinks a bit.

Okay, I’ve got to say...that was an absolutely stellar Review! My hat’s off to both of you for doing such a thorough, entertaining, and informative Video. (And on a side-note, Armando...I’m officially jealous of your Collection. (Particularly your SUPERMAN and ALIEN suits. Amazing!) :thumbsup
I just received mine today and I fully agree with everything that Funky said in the Video Review. It’s incredibly solid feeling, the detail and plating are positively beautiful for the price that you pay, and 99% of normal people (in other words, “non Prop-Collectors”) would never notice the minor details or discrepancies. It really is a no-brainer for $80 bucks.
Just for a quick ‘side by side’ comparison, here are a couple of shots of the new Idol next to my Stelter Creative ‘Glass-eyes’ version. (It’s actually kind of difficult for me to capture the details of the plated Idol in photographs because of how shiny and reflective it is, so I’d definitely recommend watching the Video for a better idea of the detail on this thing.)

Thank you, Adam. High praise indeed.
Mine came today. Very impressed for the price but it’s definitely on the small side all around (not just height). It's definitely hollow but still has good weight. The plating is a rich golden yellow (very well done). Here it is next to my Gobler Idol on the right. And here it is on my Sideshow Premium Format Indiana Jones Statue base.
Yes, if anyone is looking for a "close enough", this is the one for you. I ordered another, just to hang onto in the box.
Yup I see these jumping in price big time after they sell out.

Anyone got the exact words in Hovitos that Belloq says?
I think it is necessary to recite this loudly holding it high to everyone possible.

Mine arrived today too! It's awesome. I'm also not worried about it being 100% accurate.
It's got kind of a plastic feel to the touch. On certain surfaces mine wouldn't stand on it's own. So I added some adhesive felt pieces to an old stand I had. It did the trick.

I had the same problem as well, so I just removed the bulky, rubber-type padding from the bottom of the Idol and that worked great for me. Now that it sits ‘flat’ I have no issue with it being unstable whatsoever. The best part also was that there was no sticky residue left on the statue. It just came right off.
Awesome Indy Prop Collection by the way! Great picture. :thumbsup

Those are some amazing pictures, Brad! You were really able to capture the details amazingly well. It’s also cool seeing it contrasted with your GOBLER Idol for comparison like that.
dude how great are those stones? I have that exact set up as yours, AWESOME!! Pedros work is AMAZING to say the least.
Thanks, that totally worked! And you're right, there was no sticky residue left. It just peeled right off.
Pedro's stones are awesome. They're one of the highlights of my collection!
Great pics...the plated gold looks so much better on the smaller one.I will love mine.
