Hasbro’s Tiny Indiana Jones Figures Are Grail-tastic
16bit alerted us that Hasbro is currently showing off some of their new 3 3/3-inch (i.e., G.I. Joe-sized) Indiana Jones action figures, and wow, there’s a lot of grails going on here. You can see Young Indy and Old Man Jones (with a grail) above, and you can head here to see Indy, darned Nazi Colonel Vogel, darned Nazi Elsa Schnieder (with grail), and a Grail Knight (with grail). I’m pretty sure these Last Crusade figures will be out a few months after the first wave of figures hit with the new movie in May.
