Indiana Jones Dies in Toys R Us


HND40070Dlg.jpg
And you killed him. See, Hasbro believed you when all you nerds out there said you were dying for Indiana Jones toys, that you wanted action figures and vehicles from all four movies, that you’d buy them in droves. Yes, Hasbro listened to you, and made dozens of products, filled every toy store in America with them…and you were nowhere to be found. If you wandered by any toy aisle in the last six months or so, you’ve seen the plethora of Indiana Jones figures just sitting there, unmoved since some poor stocker put ’em out there.

Anyways, Cool Toy Review has an interview with Hasbro, who pretty much confirms that Indy is dead as of…about three minutes ago. The above Temple of Doom figures should be the last line to make it out, which does mean you’ll have a chance to own Short Round and Willie, although I doubt too many of these have been produced. But when the current toys are sold (if ever), the line is kaput. I’d expect to see some serious markdowns before the holiday season kicks off. (Via 16bit)
