Posted 20:00 by Les Here's a shot of the Kotobukiya ArtFX Raiders of the Lost statue box. I spoke at length with these guys and they were fantastic! They love Indy and it shows in their product offerings. Watch for more photos over the next day or so - and thanks to Shingo and Frank for spending time with us.
Posted 20:00 by Les If you attended SDCC I hope you made it over to the Hasbro booth for the cool Indiana Jones action figure poster. Measuring 16 x 20 inches it is a must-have for any collection!
Posted 15:35 by Les It wouldn't be SDCC if we didn't make sure Steve Sansweet of Lucasfilm wasn't decked out in our apparel. Steve poses here (with assistant Chris at far right) at a moments down time at the Lucasfilm Star Wars pavilion.
Posted 01:30 by Les I'm just off the plane and home after 14+ hours traveling (with delays) from... I'll be posting many fantastic photos and stories over the next 1-2 days (after I wake up). And thanks to the dozens of people that came up and said hi - and got a cool emobroidered TMTI velour baseball cap for their braveness!
18 July 2008 Posted 08:30 by Les John Tenuto also discovered that the Rubie's Indiana Jones costume page has gone live with great photos shown for each item. Let the shopping begin!

16 July 2008 Posted 18:30 by Les Courtesy of Hasbro we now know what to look for in stores for the next wave of action figures - namely Temple of Doom figures! Click on each for larger high resolution images - and make sure to stop by the Hasbro booth next week at SDCC to see these in person!
15 July 2008 Posted 19:00 by Les It seems the 1,100 sq. foot museum we built might not be large enough. At least not after yesterday. I returned from my US warehouse with all the shipments from the past 3 weeks. Twenty-plus boxes later - and suddenly I'm adding 150+ new items to the collection!   Everything from Burer King and Dr. Pepper promo items, a VLT machine top, board games, dozens of food packaging, Acme art prints, t-shirts and loads of the new Japanese premiums. It took 45 minutes to unpack the car and move it into the museum entrance. Then another 75 minutes to unpack the boxes to make the stacks you see in the photos. Guess what we'll be doing this weekend (besides preparing for SDCC)? A special thanks to collection contributors Michael Miller, John Robinson and Michael Wistock without whom all of this would not be possible.
09 July 2008 Posted 20:30 by Les Hasbro has released the box art for The Lost Temple of Akator Playset (in scale with their 3.75" figures). Two action figures are included.
Posted 20:30 by Les Amazon Germany has released images of a boxset that would appear to be a Best Buy exclusive version of the upcoming October 2008 DVD release for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2-disc version).

01 July 2008 Posted 20:30 by Les It seems we should all start visiting our local toy stores once again - the Hasbro Titanium figures have been spotted!
