Mine arrived! I have definitely loved this line overall and really wish it would keep going even if they cannot do the villains we all wan them to make I feel that there is still another wave or two (or even 3) they could put out following whatever PC rules they are operating under.

So, not that there was a lot of variation from figure to figure, but do you have a top five from the Adventure Series?

I think mine is:

Henry Jones Sr

Short Round

Toht

Indiana Jones (TLC)

Indiana Jones (RotL Temple Escape)

Ordered the new wave online from an Aussie retailer who just got these in stock. Excited to get these within the next week. I have a bad feeling they won't get much of a release due to performance of previous waves. :/

Still need to pick up a Marcus/Belloq pack, Cairo Indy and the deluxe idol platform Indy (which honestly will probably just get a friend to 3D print the extras). I must admit, I almost didn't go all in on the line, but so glad I did. I hope Hasbro eventually supplement it but if they don't, will be proudly always be in my display. Grail line.

I'm gonna grab the whole wave too... anyone know of anywhere online selling it that may be running some coupons/promo? I know EE has it with free shipping but was looking for another option.

This line was the hit Hasbro line of 23, for sure. I wasnt even jonesing for an Indy line and it consumed my attention throughout, I'm thankful for it all, I think some more villains would have been great, especially grunts to build up, but I'll figure something out or wait for anniversary opportunities

Nobody's had it on sale yet that I've been able to tell.  I just ordered half of the wave from Gamestop along with a bunch of other stuff since they have it in stock.

Gamestop is the most likely place it would go on sale the rest of this year.  I would have said Target too, but they're so terrible at listing stuff that I doubt we ever see them listed on their site given that they haven't been up there so far for pre-order.  Target should run a sale later this year, but you'd probably have to find the wave in stores to take advantage of it.

Can't believe this wave arrived so quick to my door! Any Aussies interested, I ordered from The Gamesmen. I did use express shipping as it was only $6 more than regular, so an extra $1 per fig is worth getting them fast. I've been very nervous about this wave - I hate pre-ordering as most Australian retailers require payment or deposit upfront, and then if you find them in stock somewhere it can be painful. So I just kept vigilant and kept my eyes open, and glad this one worked out. Fantastic wave!

Had the latest wave for a few days before I had time to open them and man, it's legit tragic if they give up now. Easily the best Connery likeness I've ever seen at this scale. The Grail Knight is perfect. And the moveable hat on Indie? BRILLIANT! That's how you innovate an already great figure! 

The build a relic / playset element is so much better than build-a-figure as a concept. Get a legit display/playset if you buy the wave. 

Embarrassed to admit I haven't seen the new film yet but the actor likenesses are so great, too. They knocked it out of the ballpark with every figure in this line. If the series is really over, I hope the crew who put it together are appreciated and end up working on some awesome projects in the future cos they rock.

Apart from Professor, Obi-Wan, and Raiders robes, I still need all the Indy variants (have the first one as my default display), as well as Hannibal & Desperado, but I had to get the unique characters from my favorite movie of the franchise. Couldn't cancel my extra Henry Sr. without losing the one I needed for the shelf, so at least I got my Allan Quatermain head & don't have to worry about it later. This definitely isn't the body I want to use (thinking ToD bridge Indy or Retro Recondo), but I wanted to expand my LXG (still need to get the Jada Griffin, though I want to use a different outfit, since I'm not trying for any specific source accuracy). I was going to use Recondo's slouch hat repainted, but decided to try out the fedora Short Round came with and d@mn, I love it, lol. (Plus, it's more accurate to the character, for those who care about that thing.)

I'm still not satisfied with Nemo. I'll never own the Mezco (and the soft goods wouldn't look right with the other figures), but I still absolutely love the design & was trying to get as close as I could. He definitely needs more blue, but the only figures I found parts that I love are the original NECA Jack Sparrow or McFarlane Eleven, and neither are cheap enough for "customizing."

Indy pic to stay on topic, though I didn't take another after adding the Grail Knight with the real Grail, as he came last night separate from Sr. & Elsa who arrived earlier in the week.

 

I'd love to do the other two Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword like another Fwoosher did on the old boards, but I never found any clearance Kazims (heck, I never found any Kazims after seeing his pics, and pegs were lousy with them beforehand), and the amazing Lightning Collection heads he used are insanely expensive on the secondary market.

I've still been meaning to fill out the back of the shelf with all the Figma Table Museum figures, since A. I have no other place to put them, and B. it works too well with Indy to not do.

My 8-year old twins had a conversation about that hat a few days ago:

 

Iris:  Daddy, Oscar broke your figure.

Me: Which one this time?

Iris: Indiana Jones.

Oscar: It's not my fault!!! I was just moving it around!  It's OK anyway, right?  Why do you have so many Indiana Joneses?

 

All he did was discover the adjustable hat is easily removable if you rotate it 90 degrees to the side.  😀

Anyone here keep their boxes & have access to a good scanner? 

I want good hi-res pics of the accessory loadout on the backs, but Google hates me & I've wasted so much time (like, literal months) and only finding 2 or 3 insanely low-res ones.

I of course, was not smart enough to keep mine (forgetting to even as I obtained new ones, as recently as this week - they're already in the dumpster out back, and I really don't want to jump inside to dig them out), but my mom has had my scanner since my dad passed, so I don't have immediate access to it anyway.

Hasbro Pulse has images of the back of every box that are high res.  Here's an example--isn't this what you're looking for?

I swear to god, the few I looked (and that was the first place I went), only had front of the box at slightly different angles.

EDIT: Just started checking again: Last Crusade Indy only has front & front from each side angle. Henry Sr., Grail Knight, Elsa (just for starters) have zero box shots.

Picked up Cairo Indy from Gamestop last week and was able to get him for $24.00 thanks to Pro points and $5 monthly coupon. I am so far behind on this line because everytime I have money to buy something I never see any of them. Love Cairo Indy. I just need to grab Map Room Indy and the Brody/Belloq 2 pack and at least I will have my favorite movie of all time covered. I truly wish this line would continue as I love the character but truthfully I am happy to have anything at all in an affordable 6inch scale Indy line. I never thought it would happen.

Mafex Indy is interesting. Any photos next to the Hasbro figures?

 

Could Mafex be our best hope for missing characters?
