The International Toy Fair happening in New York City has unveiled
a treasure trove of collectibles and play things for Indy fans
who have longed to have their hero “in their hands”!
However, amongst the many action figures, statues, busts, board
games and building blocks are perhaps the most unusual looking
toys, namely the Mighty Muggs from Hasbro.
Touted
as being made from “100% recycled coolness”, the new
line of figures of Indiana Jones figures will join the ranks of
Star Wars figures already hitting store shelves. As what can only
be described as a cross between a traditional action figure and
Stewie from Family Guy, these figures stand about 7 – 8”
and have a large, cartoon stylized head and chunky body.
Amongst the
first wave arriving to coincide with the release of Indiana Jones
and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this May will be Indy, his
Dad, Mola Ram (with victim’s heart in hand, naturally) and
Indy’s favorite target practice villain, the Arabian Swordsman.
No doubt this line will see future additions like a Mighty Mugg
Mutt (say that six times fast).
Yes, they
are a bit strange looking, but as fans have lived through such
a long drought of Indiana Jones collectibles, they are a welcome
sight.

Anyone
who doesn’t live under a rock knows that Harrison Ford is
donning the fedora and stubble again this summer in Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Indy fans are
excitedly bouncing off the walls waiting for the movie, while
soaking up every media nook and cranny until then.
Nineteen years
has passed since the last film, but our scruffy hero is still
working hard. The Last Crusade ended in 1938 near the beginning
of World War II and this new Indy flick picks up nineteen years
later in 1957. The character, and the actor, has aged but remains
vital and ready for adventure, again, as does the actor. Indiana
is enjoying a relaxed lifestyle teaching before being sent on
a quest to South America. Living legends Steven Spielberg and
George Lucas directed and executively produced The Crystal Skull.
Starring along with Ford are Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett,
returning Indy star Karen Allen and Shia LaBeouf.
Answering
the call for all things Indiana Jones is the new magazine following
his adventures: Indiana Jones Magazine. Containing tons of movie
news, the magazine covers all the action with Indiana Jones
and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, interviews with the
cast and crew, and much more.
This special
commemorative movie edition first issue contains 100 full color
pages, for $9.99 and will be in stores on May 22, 2008
