Old Man Indy

As a disciple of George Lucas, I'm a huge fan of the Indiana Jones series. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the films... including last summers Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The announcement last year that Hasbro would finally be making good mass market Indy figures (as opposed to the exclusive Disneyworld figures) brought smiles to toy collectors worldwide. With that announcement and the release of the new movie, we all knew that KOTCS figures would soon follow the initial wave of Raiders of the Lost Arc figures.

Hasbro did a great job of releasing classic figures alongside figures of the latest film. The best of the classic line will be seen in my top figures of 2008 post. Above is the best of the new movie line. An older, grayer Indy without hat. He did come accessorized with a gun, crystal skull, whip and satchel. The figure came articulated at the neck, shoulder, elbow, hands, waist and knees. The paint scheme did a great job capturing the fact that this was an older Indy. Great job all around.
