River Phoenix as Young Indy figure (pills, vomit and Viper Club playset sold separately)
 |
Now, obviously, there's a reason that these figures never made it into Hasbro's Indiana Jones toyline, and that reason while these guys play pivotal roles in the Indiana Jones movies, they're often very small roles. Plus, even for the guys with larger roles, they're mostly white guys in a variety of suits -- making the "action" half of "action figure" somewhat... invalid.
But somewhere, there's a parallel universe where the Indiana Jones toyline is more popular than Star Wars, where kids on a playground are fighting over a Dr. Marcus Brody figure. I and my Indiana Jones toy collection wish we lived in that universe. For your viewing pleasure, I've created old-school Kenner style card backs. Sorry, no actual figures. I don't sculpt.

! totally agree with pretty much all of these especially Sallah and Marcus Brody. Well Done !
"But somewhere, there's a parallel universe where the Indiana Jones toyline is more popular than Star Wars, where kids on a playground are fighting over a Dr. Marcus Brody figure."
And somewhere in that universe is a parallel me who never knew the horrors of "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", and happily sits down to the premier of season 8 of "Firefly".
The bastard.
also:
Cigarette girl Indy punches in the face during the Club Obi-Wan melee.
Earl Webber, british airways official who sounds a lot like Dan Aykroyd.
Hatay soldier who "volunteers" to go past the booby traps in the Grail temple (comes with detachable head)
More figures they should've made:
- Col. Musgrove & Major Eaton Two pack (Allowing you to use Eaton to re-enact scenes from "Flash Gordon" and Tim Burton's "Batman")
- Barranca, with Two-Faced-Gun-Cocking- Hand holding action, and when you push a button Hovitos Darts come out of his back
- Captain Blumburtt, with Racist Hand Motion action and "Not upset, just interested" Hand action with wriggling eel
- Indian Village Chieftain, with annoyingly high pitched voice chip and bright orange turban
- Thugee Sacrifice Victim, with removable heart and Lei, Limited edition signed by actor Nizwar Karanj
- Chen & Kao Kan: Lao Che Brothers Two pack (Lets you re-enact scenes from all of Ric Young's Classic Roles in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story", "Kundun", and "The Transporter"!)
- "Fedora", With hat-taking-off action and lopsided "Harrison Ford Style Grin" (Just a recast/relabel of an Indy Figure)
- "Panama Hat", accessories include cross of coronado, walking cane, and mocking action. Interacts with voice chip on S.S. Coronado Playset, which is 1/500 actual size (Only $499.99!)
- Herman Mueller, Indy's First Sidekick! Comes with Bugle Playing action and a box of donuts
- Befuddled Venetian Librarian, accessories include bookstamping action and general confusion as to why he looks a lot like Einstein
- Indy as Scottish Lord & Castle Brunwald Butler, includes water for getting Indy drenched along with Sneezing action, and A Set of Tapestries and Mickey Mouse ears for the Butler.
- "ALARM!!!!" Nazi Female Soldier, with winking & screaming action
- Indy in Undersized Zepplin Waiter uniform, Comes with Tickets, Nazi Punching/Throwing action, and extended thumb for pointing out the window.
- Crazy Hatay Tank Driver, With realistic head bleeding head wound and Leaning action
And lastly...
- Sultan of Hatay, comes with Rolls Royce Phantom II (4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg downdraft carburetor, can go from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in 12.5 seconds), Soldiers, Horses, Camels, "and Tanks..."
Kali-Mah zombie Indiana Jones seems an obvious choice.
Dr. Oxley
George "Mac" McHale
Speedboat chase Indiana Jones.
Germans from the castle.
Russkies disguised as American soldiers
KGB goons in suits
Guy with shish-kabob in his chest.
More Willie Scotts, cuz Kate is great (she must be great at something for Spielberg to keeping tapping that ass).
I don't understand why they made the big Soviet lawnmower but no actual jungle chase vehicles.
I'd have loved the Flying Wing for a toy...I could have sent it on artifact looting missions in my backyard!
As nerds lets be honest-- almost none of these would sell -(it would be like a sea of Chancellor Valorum and Senator Palpatine Figures- and if this is your list of required characters-- I think you can see why hasbro never got to another wave--- I know lack of retail support was their reason -- but really-- you could release a suit with 7 different heads and pretty much cover most of these figures..Next you will be asking for the Last Crusade Librarian (and if we cant get Jocasta Nu-- that aint happening),and the Mickey Mouse Butler....
Though I will allow them to make an exclusive of Marcus Brody-- since he is a main supporting character that was not made-- (and I would also include the Maharajah)--. and of course-- a Refridgerator Playset...
None of the stuff made sold...or not much of it at original retail prices. Indiana Jones didn't have the Star Wars appeal, and a shitty movie didn't help. I think half the folks who actually bought the stuff got it for customizing parts for Star Wars and GI JOE figures.
Nuts to this list. I want a Nepalese Drinking Contest Marion. She'd come with a bottle of Scotch, her cigar box of cash and her medallion!
"Um, mein fuhrer, Hasbro..."
"—Hasbro has canceled all further additions to the 'Indy' line. Your figure was specifically mentioned."
"..."
"...anyone who isn't collecting GI Joe Flag Points, leave the room now."
Ugh! Willie Scott is the worst. Much to answer for, indeed. "Blonde and screaming" is not a good defining trait for anybody.
nice list though surprised you did not include the zombie kid sticking pins in the idia vodo doll. and have to admit its a tragedy that sallah from last crusade or even Rene but this list is the price paid for the indie line not selling well.
Was there ever a figure of that guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark that kept swinging his sword, threatening to kill Indy in Egypt, but only ended up getting shot?Clip for context:http://youtu.be/GkLXdLgOybE
would have made more sense if you replied to jay since he's the one who said they did not me.
I had no idea my life was missing a Sallah and a Marcus Brody action figure until now. This makes me sad.
No kiddin! There shoulda been a whole line of figures based on the Young Indiana Jones adventures
