Heheheh, honestly I’d be fine with zero merch from the Star Wars prequels. And even more fine with zero merch from KotCS. Like, I wouldn’t want to keep others from having it (and of course I bought figures from all those films at one time or another), but I personally wouldn’t lose any sleep if the fourth Indy film was vaulted and never mentioned again.
Another concept for a possible fan-channel exclusive 2-pack. This one would round out the Raiders-Line (and the Ark-Trio) and solve the problem of the missing army-builder. And honestly? I see zero reason why they didn't make this already. There are barely any new parts needed. This is basically just a recolored Donovan-Body with a slightly retooled new Jacket-Overlay. Seriously, I just drew Donovan. I never realized how close his outfit was to Dietrich's uniform, but it's damn close. If we could get Donovan, then this should be fine too. Just leave out the insignia. There aren't that many anyway.
Pester Hasbro with this. I don't care for being credited. I just want these figures.
Saw a bunch of them at my local target but wasn't able to get any cause it's street dated to 10/1, Sunday.
I'm planning to go and grab two on Sunday.
@joshsquash729 Don't forget what is maybe the coolest design in the Indy films, the crystal skeleton! I missed the original 4" one, I really wanted to see hasbro take another shot at it.
If you could only get one more wave of five and Hasbro HAD to make them, who would you want?
Mine would be...
- Willie Scott (Sacrifice Gown)
- Mola Ram
- Marion Ravenwood (White Dress)
- Irina Spalko
- Mutt Williams
I want Dietrich and Vogel, but they hardly feel as necessary as the main villains and allies.
Another concept for a possible fan-channel exclusive 2-pack. So far I tried to be re-use friendly to keep the cost down and not scare the beancounters at hasbro away, but that's not really possible here. For these two, we would need new sculpts. But these need to be made. You can't have a ToD lineup and not include Mola Ram. Same with Willie. I choose this outfit from the finale on the bridge for three reasons: It was never done before, it fits the bridge-fight-indy and this is the most toyetic and dynamic design, because her legs are free to move. This one could sit down in a mine cart. She should also come with a screaming head because... well, it's Willie 😀 Once again, feel free to share. I don't care for being credited. I just want Hasbro to see these and continue the line 🙂
I think mine would be
Mola Ram
Willie
Mutt
Irina
Teddy (with Dial)
Crystal Skeleton/Throne Build-A-Whatever. I'd even be cool if the skeleton is permanently on the throne. That's how I'd pose it anyway; I just want it.
I'd obviously want more, but that's what I'd need to feel complete, I think. Just the bare minimum KotCS rep and some missing characters from the other movies. I'd love a Last Crusade Sallah and secondary villains like Dietrich & Vogel, but they don't feel as necessary. Same with the German Mechanic and Swordsman. They're iconic, no doubt, but barely in it enough to feel like they're "must-haves". For me, they're the same tier of character as someone like the Cabbage Merchant from Avatar- Iconic, lovable, memorable, would love to have- but I'm not gonna stare at my display and feel like it's incomplete without him.
If we only get one more wave I’m going to go with 6 figures like wave 3.
1. Mola Ram
2. Indiana Jones (Crystal Skull)
3. Colonel Dietrich
4. Colonel Vogel
5. Indiana Jones (German Soldier disguise)
6. Marion (white dress)
Build an Artifact - Crystal Skull Alien and Throne
I absolutely love these mock-ups Damon, I’m completely obsessed. I wonder if they could use Star Wars parts for the Mola Ram/Willie 2 pack like they did with Donovan.
if I could have any 6 figures it would be:
Nepal Indy
Nepal Marion
German Mechanic
German Disguise Indy
Mola Ram
Giant Thuggee
Damon - That might be my fav mock up of yours so far. And great rationale for the climactic bridge scene. Those looks make sense and saw some of the most memorable action from the movie.
Also, Target just sent notice that Map Room Indy has a shipping label created (UPS).
Wow those mock ups are great! I really wish they were two packs we were getting.
If we cannot get the villains like Vogel, mechanic, etc. my main wants are Sallah (Crusade) and white dress Marion but I am down for pretty much any figure they throw our way.
Killer work @damon!
That Nepal Indy/Marion set and Mola Ram/Willie set are just what I'd want for a new wave.
Two other figures that'd be great? River Phoenix Indy and Garth (the guy who gives him the hat). Garth could mostly be re-use. New face sculpt and a longer jacket is really all he'd need.
