Long-time fan and collector Michael M. sends us a photo
from the new Hallmark Keepsake 2009 catalog. Seems Indy will be
hanging from our Christmas trees this year as well. And we're
always in favor of anything 'idol' related! |

stuff. Published by Harper Collins in UK (English) and there is
also a French version.

Eric
Tan has released the image of his newest lithograph (available
soon from Acme Archives) and has this to say -
"With
the Crusade poster, I also tried to keep the series consistent
with a lot of the same criteria I used in the first couple of
posters. Among them include the limited color scheme, the big
head at the top right, the chase scene on the bottom right, the
logo down below, the filmed in color banner, and a background
silhouette of one of the key settings. I wanted to play up the
love connection between the Joneses and Elsa because it plays
an important part of the plot so Indy and Elsa are almost equal
in scale and you can also make a visual "triangle" between
the three characters. Because it's my favorite on the Indy series
of films, I really wanted to get as much as I could into this
one. The story is dense and so is this poster in comparison to
the previous two. I certainly hope you guys dig it!" |

Today we discovered the existence of popcorn bowls
that were created by the company responsible for Orville Redenbacher
and Act II popcorn brands. It is uncertain as to whether these
were for internal use only or whether it was to be part of the
promotion for the DVD release of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
(and was scrapped early on). Each is about 9" in diameter
and dishwasher-safe plastic.

It's always fun to look and see what might have been.
Pictured here is a scale replica model for the proposed walk-through
arch display for the DVD release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull. It was commisioned for Wal-Mart -- and
then they changed their mind as to how much floor space they wanted
to devote to the release. So it was scrapped.
![](../proto_images/display_walmartDVD.jpg)
The
model stands approx. 36 inches in height and approx. 24 inches
square at the base. It now makes it home at the Ravenwood museum.
