Hasbro 2023 Indiana Jones Line Announced

[Jeff]

The Indiana Jones line by Hasbro will be available in the U.S. in 2023, aligning with the release of the highly anticipated new Indiana Jones feature film.

I am holding out hope that there will be new 3.75" Indy stuff, but based on how things are these days it would not surprise me if they just stick to 6" and then some kind of kid line (like the 2" SW Mission Fleet stuff). 

[Dave]

I'd actually be pretty stoked for a small 6" line.  If they get crazy they could even do some small vehicles - Indy on Horse, Indy and Dad on motorbike with sidecar, Nazi on motorbike.  If they want to get really crazy I'd love a HasLab RotLA Nazi truck and jeep with all the troops/characters and Indy on his horse.

I've got most of the modern 3.75" stuff, but to be honest there isn't that much content and the quality isn't that great.  I'd be okay if they left most of that behind unless they completely redo the line with fresh sculpts and quality figures.

Ultimately I'm still surprised that they are going to make anything to support Indy.  Their support of the sequel SW movies was weak and their support of Indy in general has always been fairly weak. 

[Diddly]

I'm also kind of shocked that they're returning to Indy. It's not like the 2008 line was a hot seller, even if I thought the figures were fantastic.

That said, I'm not sure I can support or find space for ANOTHER 6 inch line. I'd probably buy Indy just to have an Indy, but I honestly kind of have no desire to collect a full line again at a new scale.

[Nicklab]

It looks like Hasbro's positioning itself for the new Indy movie, whenever that actually materializes.  I liked the modern line, even if the driving factor behind it was a stinker of a movie like "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

I might be convinced to go in on a new 3.75" figure line if Hasbro were committed to world building at that scale.  But I suspect that the 6" line will probably get the lion's share of the attention.

If Hasbro was going to do a 3.75" Indiana Jones Haslab?  I say go for the Flying Wing - go big or go home!

[Jedi Idej]

I see 6" black series, a board game or two, children's role play, and possibly mission fleet. I believe retro figures will be more likely than super articulated 3.75", though I want the higher articulated figs.

I really hope there are 3.75” scale figures that are a continuation of the previous line.

[Nicklab]

I'm continuing to hear rumblings about a Retro style Indiana Jones line.  But nothing concrete yet.

I *THINK* Steve Evans might be involved in this line, and I know he was a driving force behind the Marvel Retro figures.

Brand Panel on October 1.

So the Indy team gets 15 minutes for their brand panel?  That's like...
- 5 minutes of brand-speak about how excited they are to have the license
- 5 minutes to tease the first wave of four IJ6" figures*
- 5 minutes to tell us how excited they are to eventually show us more at some point in the future

*My guess is they kick off the line in early 2023 with classic Indy to get it established before the new film.  I'll guess the first wave will be ROTLA Indy, Marion, Sallah, Belloc.

So Retro Indy figures have articulated knees? Is that because that’s how the original ones looked?

The 6” figures look pretty damn awesome. Gonna be hard to resist…

[Jeff]

So Retro Indy figures have articulated knees? Is that because that’s how the original ones looked?

Yes, the Kenner figures had knee joints - there was a horse that the figures could ride so they needed knees.

[Rob]

I never collected vintage Indiana Jones and always wanted to... so I'm definitely in for a IN Retro line.

[Dave]

I wish this was Vintage style and not retro.  I bought them nonetheless. 

I am stoked about the 6" figures and preordered the two available.

[EdSolo]

So far only Indy for the retro line, but I had to order him.  I think I had Indy, Marion, Toht, the dude with the sword and the Well of Souls back in the day.  Between Star Wars, Marvel, and now Indy, Hasbro is demanding my money for the retro stuff.
