Indiana Jones Toys

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opened this week with lots of publicity and excitement. This is a movie franchise that started 27 years ago with the Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Many fans of the Indiana Jones movies are 35 plus years old and parents themselves - now bringing their kids to see the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Many of us want to go back and see the original movies again and yes they are available in a new special edition DVD. This history of the movie franchise makes for lots of nostalgia about the first 3 movies. We think we’ll see the parents just as interested in the toys as the kids!

Amazon is showing the LEGO Indiana Jones Jungle Duel from the new movie as the current bestselling Indiana Jones toy. It’s a 90 piece playset for only $9.99 and suitable for ages 6 and up. It comes with Indiana Jones, Mutt Williams, and Irina Spalkoi minifigures.

The second most popular Indiana Jones toy at Amazon is the LEGO Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb.  It depicts the memorable scene from the 1984 movie with Indiana Jones and Marian trapped in the tomb with poisonous snakes.

If you have an older kid that likes to put together more complex sets, the LEGO Indiana Jones Temple of the Crystal Skull will be an awesome project and fun playset when it is completed. The scene is the intricate Temple of the Crystal Skull with moving parts. It comes with several minifigures. This LEGO set is suggested for ages 8 and up.

Of course the Indiana Jones action figures will be popular toys and the ones that crack the whip and speak famous phrases will be a conversation piece at your Indiana Jones party.  Popular phrases include Trust me! Snakes, why did it have to be snakes? and I hate these guys.

Mutt Williams as the new young guy in the movie is popular with the kids too and the Mutt Williams action figure comes brandishing his sword and knife.

Besides the toys to play with, it’s fun to dress the part and actually be Indiana Jones! Yes, there are many new Indiana Jones costumes coming for Halloween 2008.  Some are available now but most will be in stock by the end of the summer.  If you are an adult wanting to play the part, you can pick up a genuine Indiana Jones felt fedora.
