no time for love, doctor jones

yes. hasbrotoyshop.com updated with upcoming figures from indiana jones wave two. (possibly three…)

colonel vogel with baton (this is how we say goodbye in germany!) and presumably a blank red armband.
elsa with false grail.
grail knight with sword, tomb shield, and the holy grail.
henry jones with briefcase, umbrella, and grail diary.
and young indy with snakes, bullwhip, and the cross of coronado. (it belongs in a museum!)

please also give me last crusade sallah, marcus brody, the bad guy who’s name i forget with alternate ‘poorly chosen’ head, ‘just climbed back up the cliff, beat all to hell, whats everyone looking at’ indy, and a motorcycle with sidecar into which i can put the jones boys. (alternatively, a biplane).

(there’s also some stuff from raiders and crystal skull, but last crusade is my favorite, so other than a theoretical short round and crystal skull presents shia labeouf as sam witwicky, i imagine i’ll pass on the rest of it.)

i’m glad there’s a high-grade star wars caliber henry jones figure that i can get, because otherwise i was going to get the gigantic koto statue and at $7 vs y9800, the 3 3/4″ version is a bit more affordable.

although i’m getting the koto sd one-coin set because sd sean connery pretty much sells itself.

it’s fantastic that all the 3 3/4″ figures are coming with relics, because who doesn’t want to have the holy grail around as a prop in multiple scales? the grail knight has a gijoe sized one, and the larger one packed with henry jones should be 8-12″ scale. (elsa has the false grail in both sizes, and same with young indy and the cross). nice.

i was thinking about getting the grail from the yujin keychain/cellphone charm set, but i’ll probably just buy an extra connery and make my own.

the indiana jones ‘adventure heroes’ are commemorating some pretty screwed up moments for the line’s intended age group. i mean, i loved these movies as a kid, but seriously, this is not appropriate material for ages 3 and up. (although i’m buying the whole lot of them…)

indy vs german mechanic - propellored!
iindy vs cairo swordsman - shot in cold blood!
belloq vs ark of the covenant (with ghost!) - melted!
short round vs temple thug - cultural insensitivity!
mola ram and temple priest - got your heart!

in wildly unrelated news, this evangelion hat of sahaquiel, the tenth angel, would make a great mobile.
