Hasbro Indiana Jones thoughts

As everyone probably gathered a few months ago, when the Hasbro Indiana Jones toys launched, we were all very excited about them here at the Preserve. This excitement has mostly kept up over the intervening days and weeks, though the line is already suffering from Mattel-level distribution troubles, resulting in no figures from either the 3rd or 4th series having found their way to the over-crowded pegs here in my small town. What did make it were the titanium vehicles, of which there are eight, and which are very cool for the most part. New info has come to light today that may help determine your purchasing and collecting plans if you are a fan of this line.

According to a recent Q&A with Hasbro, they will not be producing any further titanium vehicles for this line, unless the franchise is again revitalized with 'Indy V'. Also, they assert that they will not be making a Marcus Brody figure. Both of these bits of info seem to make it pretty clear to me that the plans of running this line for years, or at least longer than eight months, have likely fallen flat. If you're enjoying what's been released so far, you might as well go for the complete set because it looks as if it won't be much larger than it is currently. Definitely a shame, since we'd all love to see several years of figures and vehicles come from this line, but I have to predict now that it won't come to be. Get hunting for those Dr. Henry Jones figures!
