I'll have to check it out the next time I'm in the toy aisle. I haven't really checked out the new Indy toys. Are they any good? Any cool monster-like toys in the set? Indy Williams toy?

I say this, because these toys came around 15+ years after the original movies. I doubt they'd use the "current state" of an actor's face. Plus, finding all the actors and flying them out to a scanning station for a star wars figure doesn't seem feasible... but I'm sure George Lucas could afford it.

Stereo-lithography, I think they call it. Although I understand right, sculptors still touch-up the computer's initial product. So I wonder who's more at fault?
