New Hasbro Q&A Session!

Check out our next round of  questions below and if you have any burning Indy questions for the fine folks at Hasbro, be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us and let us know!

IndianaJonesCollectors: First a quick follow up to the one of our questions from last session  if we can. The question was asked about a Marcus Brody action figure.  The response was "It is unlikely we will do a Marcus Brody figure". Did you mean for next year or did you mean ever? And if so, is there  a "list" of the characters that won't be made?

Hasbro: We can't really say never, as we hope there will be another Indy film, and if it comes to pass there will almost certainly be a Marcus Brody figure.

IJC: Can we expect a 3.75" Belloq in white suit and Panama hat or a  3.75" Toht and German Mechanic in 2009?

H: We did show images of a couple of these figures at Comic Con, which are planned for early Spring 2009. This is depending on retail support for IJ continuing through Spring 2009, something that we will be evaluating with our retail partners in the coming months.

IJC: Weeks ago you confirmed you confirmed that an Ark Ghost was  coming in a deluxe set next year. Last Q&A session you changed your answer to no Ark Ghost was planned. Can you please clarify?

H:  We did have plans for an Ark ghost, but now it is no longer in the plans.

IJC: What is the status of the Dietrich figure that was confirmed  months ago in a Q&A? He was missing from the new Raiders wave announced at Comic Con.

H:  He was planned to be in a later wave in 2009, not in the wave that was shown.

Thanks Hasbro! Be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us questions for the next session!

New Hasbro Q&A Session!

Check out our next round of  questions below and if you have any burning Indy questions for the fine folks at Hasbro, be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us and let us know!

IndianaJonesCollectors: Recently a Indiana Jones "tank" with 3 figures appeared in the ToysRus computer, would this be the tank from the last crusade?

Hasbro: It is the Jungle Cutter with three existing figures - an exclusive for later in the Fall.

IJC: Marcus Brody is a pretty important character in the Indiana Jones lore, will we be seeing a 3.75 inch figure of him in 2009?

H: It's unlikely that we'll get to a Marcus Brody figure.

IJC: Will we be seeing an ARK Ghost in the 3.75" figure lineup?

H:  No plans for an Ark ghost in the lineup. It's a great idea for a future Deluxe-type item, but we have no plans for it right now.

Thanks Hasbro! Be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us questions for the next session!

IJC Review:  Indiana Jones with the Ark of the Covenant (Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Since the re-introduction of the Star Wars 3.75 scale lines in the mid-1990s, Hasbro has produced two different types of basic action figures.  The first are the single carded releases, which are the bread and butter of their toy universe.  The other type is one that tends to go into hibernation every so often.  This is the “deluxe” figure line.  Essentially, these are sets that are either too large and/or too in-depth to exist at the single carded price. 

The Hasbro Indiana Jones universe appears set to follow this stratification as well.  Set at an MSRP of $10, the first few waves of Indiana Jones deluxe figures appeared on shelves alongside the initial single-carded offerings.  Star Wars collectors already familiar with this segment of the Hasbro 3.75 scale universe will be in for a pleasant surprise at the diversity and quality of the Indiana Jones deluxe line.  While some are mere two-packs of figures, many others pair a figure with a small vehicle or mini-playset.  However, there is one set which pairs a figure with an all-important accessory deemed too large for the basic line. 

That “all-important” accessory is a must-have for any Indy fan—the 3.75 scale version of the Ark of the Covenant.  Packaged along with the “Map Room” version of Indiana Jones, this set is one of the more popular deluxe releases in this initial salvo, and it doesn’t stay on store pegs for very long.  However, is it worth the price and popularity?  The answer is a resounding “Yes” for the most part.

New Hasbro Q&A Session!

Check out our next round of  questions below and if you have any burning Indy questions for the fine folks at Hasbro, be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us and let us know!

IndianaJonesCollectors: With The Last Crusade hitting shelves now and the Temple of Doom wave  hitting in September, what else can we expect from the 3 3/4" Indiana Jones line in 2008? We've seen pictures of two new deluxe sets (Mutt  w/ Bike & Cairo Thugs) and the Akator Playset, anything else to look forward to in 2008?

Hasbro: We have indeed been front-loaded this year, as expected for a movie year. The next news for 3-3/4" will be in Spring 2009, and we should have pics to preview at Comic Con.

IJC: Do you have any plans to release Temple of Doom deluxe sets? I think  items such as the sacrifice cage or the mine car would go great with any collection!

H: We agree, and there is a good chance at least one of those items will make it out in 2009.

IJC: How soon do you plan on releasing the second wave of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull basic figures? Are any of the following characters on your radar: Mac, Oxley, Army disguised Russians or the Alien? I would think all would be logical choices!

H:  There will be a few more KOTCS figures later in 2009. A couple of your figures are in the works.

Thanks Hasbro! Be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us questions for the next session! Also check out the message below from the Hasbro Star Wars Team:

We have created two files to help folks at home anticipate and plan for our big Star Wars 7/26 launch. These files will be available for download at starwars.hasbro.com next Wednesday 7/16.

They are: 1. The "Hasbro Clone Wars Handbook" details almost everything that will be available 7/26 and over the course of the Fall for Clone Wars, with images of all basic figures, vehicles, exclusives, and more. 2. As the Handbook focuses on Clone Wars, and does not have actual anticipated on-shelf dates breakdowns of figures by wave, we have crafted a second companion spreasheet titled the "Hasbro Star Wars Fall 2008 Release Guide". This Excel spreadsheet details Clone War and Legacy Collection information, along with availability dates and wave breakdowns, so all collectors will know what to focus on when. Available 7/16 for download at starwars.hasbro.com!

IJC Review:  Mickey Mouse “Indiana Jones”

Star Tours has been a major longtime component of the Magic Kingdom’s affiliation with Star Wars, so it was only a matter of time before Indiana Jones was brought into the mix.  However, rather than creating a whole new action figure line like Star Tours, Disney chose to commemorate Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by releasing a PVC figurine of Mickey Mouse dressed in the costume of Indiana Jones.  While a quick first glance may suggest nothing more than a simple trinket meant to cash in on the timely popularity of the Indy franchise, there are several surprises lurking inside the blister card.

IJC Joins the Hasbro Q&A Sessions!

IJC now joins the Bi-Monthly Hasbro Question and Answer Sessions, check out our first three questions below and if you have any burning Indy questions for the fine folks at Hasbro, be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us and let us know!

IndianaJonesCollectors: I know they originally said that the Last Crusade figures were due out in July, but now everywhere I look, it sounds like they'll be out sometime in June? When should we start to look for these on the pegs?

Hasbro: The exact date a wave arrives at retail is always tricky to pin down since when we forecast dates we allow time for shipment and dissemination from retail distribution centers in sizeable quantities. It's always possible that some retailers can get a small quantity out faster, and figures could start showing up by the end of the months. Based on our latest schedules they are on the water and due to land any day now in the States, and will find their way to retail in the next few weeks.

IJC: Well now that I have all of the 12" figures that are out, I'm anxiously awaiting the new batch!!! I know that Dovchenko will be released from KOTCS, but can you fill us in on what is next in the 12" line? I would love to see:

RAIDERS: Sallah, Belloq, Katanga, German mechanic

TEMPLE: Mola Ram, Chether Lal, Indy in tux, Thugee, Lao Che

CRUSADE: Henry Jones, Sr., Indy, Walter Donovan, Grail Knight

KOTCS: Irina Spalko, Mac, Ugha Warrior, Crystal Skeleton

Any scoop? Preview Pics? Updates?

H: More goodness awaits for those who are patient! At least four of those are planned by ealy 2009, so hang in there. More details will be revealed at Comic-Con International.

IJC: We've heard talks of Indiana Jones Battle Packs. Which movies and or scenes will be represented in the battle packs? Will they be just standard figure battle packs, or can we expect other accessories like we see with some of the Star Wars Battle Packs. Opening of the Ark Battle Pack with Ark ghosts would be way cool!

H:  Details on the initial Battle Packs, which will be retailer exclusives, will be revealed at Comic-Con International. Like our first Star Wars Battle Packs, the IJ Battle Packs will start out with primarily existing character decos, delivered in a combination that makes a complete play pattern for kids and kids alike.

Thanks Hasbro! Be sure to post in our forums or e-mail us questions for the next session!
