Now that all the Indiana Jones have been released, let's line them up and shoot them
Indiana Jones by Kenner, released in 1983
Toys McCoy Indiana Jones, released 1999 (that's almost ten years ago!) but with accessories from Relic Hunter (including the saber he acquired in "Temple of Doom", a sequel so dark and scary a PG-13 rating was created) and fedora hat from
Hasbro's Talking Indy
Relic Hunter - not an official Indiana Jones figure but who else can he be? You don't have to be a
Professor in Archeology to know the answer :) The Relic Hunter's hat was really really bad so he's wearing Talking Indy's hat instead.
Medicom Indy - I like Medicom's Indy except for his scrawny body which makes the head look big but with the jacket on, he looks much better. Also, I love the accessories, especially all the artifacts and most of all, you have to get Junior if you are already also eyeing
Henry Jones Sr. They look GREAT together :)
Sideshow Indy - value for money. Sideshow's Indy is good enough if you can only spend on one.
Kubrick Indy
Lego Indy and Henry Jones Sr
That's all folks :)

wahahaha double steam~~!!!
LOL. I love the old Kenner Indy. I especially like the fact that he dould probably use his hat as a life raft (in case he ever needs to escape from another plane). Are those all his original accessories? Or were those ones you had to replace? I haven't seen my figures pistol and bullwhip since 3 minutes after I opened the figure's package Christmas morning of '82!
Super Indy collection! Funny looking hat for the Kenner Indy...:P
been looking forward to this post of the group shots of Indy from you, my guru.
thanks ken :)
Hi dash, Kenner Indy was GREAT fun - came out as a toy and not a collectible and he's the FIRST!! His hat could probably double up as a parachute too - LOL. I added the bag because he didn't come with one and the coiled whip is a recent addition. I still have the original but it won't stay coiled.
Hi Adrian, me BIG BIG fan of Indy ;p
ah mister shaun, you know me only too well :> just couldn't resist putting them all together for a shot
impressive Indy collection
thank you Marcus :)
The 5th installment is out, Indiana Jones and the Clone Wars.....
Both Medicom and Sideshow look brilliant, although the Sideshow headscrupt maybe slightly better, there's more attitude to it.
hey tony, gotta agree that Sideshow's is value for money but i had to have medicom's indy to go with their Henry. now i gotta find me a 21st century toys' German motorbike with sidecar to plonk them in :P
Hope you can get your German motorbike with sidecar soon..I am sure they look very cool together with 12inch figures..
hi desmond it's not going to be easy locating that 1/6 german motorcycle with sidecar... we'll just have to wait and see ;) thanks for looking
I'm a big fan of the vintage Indy made by Kenner. I agree the hat isn't exactly flattering. Does anyone know if the hats belonging to any of the recent 12" Indy releases will fit him?
hi, the biggest hat right now is Hasbro's Talking Indy hat which I've used on both Toys McCoy Indy and Relic Hunter but it is still too small to fit Kenner Indy's BIG head.
Wow. This collection absolutely pwns. I've been a fan of Indy ever since LucasArts' Fate of Atlantis back in '92. The movies were something I watched after the spin-off games. :3
Why Medicom doesn't use their bulkier RAH body which we know they have? The short, regular RAH body doesn't fit everyone. (e.g. while it looks alright on Peter Parker, Indy's build is bigger than that.)
thanks michelle, for making me feel old, talking about '92. i saw indy on the big screen in '81, that's 11 years earlier - LOL!
don't even get me started on Medicom - bunch of incompetent people - who know what goes on in those weird minds of theirs. the things they do defy reason - their Star Wars line is a prime example - SIGH!
anyhoo, thanks for popping by ;p
Awesome pix! Noticed that your Kenner 12" Indy has the "light tan" boots, as opposed to the brown boots. Mine also has the lighter boots, although I've seen plenty more Kenner Indys with dark boots. Do we have a boot variation, or did our boots just fade over time?
Hi Pete, me thinks the boots faded over time and it isn't a boot variation. Thanks for looking :) CHEERS
I had the Kenner Indy as a child, he was the top of my list that Christmas. He ended up dating some of my Barbies, but the coolest thing about him was that Kenner really tried (and succeeded, imo) in getting Harrison Ford's crooked smile down pat. For a reworked Ken doll by way of Han Solo, that was a damned good head sculpt for its time! Love your collection of figures and have been paging through your blog in awe.
Do you know if there have ever been any mass market attempts to create a 6, from the old British show The Prisoner? I've never seen one but boy, would I pay through the nose for a 1/6 of Patrick McGoohan, that guy was my hero. Thanks for your blog and for sharing your collection, it's truly amazing.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment :) So nice of you to share your thoughts and make this blog a two-way thing
