Hasbro Hidden Relic Pack-Ins

[Matt]

Courtesy Dave Castle and the rest of our friends over at the very-uniquely-titled WellOfTheSouls.com:

Can you give us a list of what "artifacts" we can expect to find packed in with the 3.75" line coming out soon? And were there any that you couldn't get to do that you'd like to include somewhere down the line? (ST/"WOTS", 04/04/08)

     See the attached Indiana Jones relic list. There are a couple types of relics, including those from the film, and those that have hi storical reference. We used a mix of both types. We haven't specified which figures have which artifacts...that is for you guys to discover. But they are all "dedicated" - not randomly packed. Happy hunting!

Since I'm probably not buying all the 3.75" figures, I'm trying to decide whether or not to chase all these little doo-dads...  my OCD hates the idea of only owning 26 of the 29.

I don't have the KotCS figures yet, but I think I've got them all on here thanks to the web.  There are 6 blanks, so I'm assuming those are for the 6 rumored ToD figures...

[Morgbug]

Thanks for doing that Jeff.  I've mostly conquered my OCD, but I'm squirming over the doo-dad with the single carded Marion figure is worth it or not.  I haven't opened the deluxe Marion yet simply because of that nagging little doubt.  Staff or Ra headpiece, yay.  Cuz I don't want that. 

Anybody buying her and not want that relic?

[Pete_Fett]

Anybody buying her and not want that relic?

Unfortunately for me, the primary reason I kept the individually carded Marion was because of the Staff of Ra Headpiece doo-dad.

Of all of the things they did for this initial launch of the Indy line, the Marion situation is the one that has me the most disappointed.

I think the individually carded figure should have been Marion in the White Dress and then the 2-pack could have been Marion in the outfit she wore in Cairo. That way, you'd actually WANT both Marion figures.

Oh well, hopefully they'll get to that version of Marion in the next RotLA wave they do.

I was so ready to only do the Gentel Giant paperweights.

Anyone have pictures of what all the different artifacts look like?

[Morgbug]

Is anyone looking to part with any of their "artifacts"?  I'd take them off your hands or be willing to buy them too if I can get a good chunk of what I'm looking for.

Wants:
 - Sankara Stone [Wave 1 (RotLA) German Soldier]
 - Ankh of Osirus [Wave 2 (KotCS) Russian Soldier]
 - Crystal Skull [Wave 2 (KotCS) Irina Spalko]
 - Eye of Horus [Wave 2 (KotCS)  "T-Shirt" Mutt Williams]
 - Spear of Destiny [Wave 2 (KotCS)  "Jacket" Mutt Williams]
 - Staff of Ra Headpiece [Wave 1 (RotLA) Marion Ravenwood]
 - Chalice of Kahi [Wave 2 (KotCS) Colonel Dovchenko]
 - Ancient Arrowhead [Wave 2 (KotCS) Ugha Warrior]
 - Funerary Mask [Wave 2 (KotCS) Cemetery Warrior]

Surely some of you army builder must have spares of some of these, right?

(sorry for not posting in the classifieds, thought it might be better action here).

           I am looking to get rid of mine, see my trade list

[Darth Broem]

I am going to break down and buy a single pack Marion just for the Staff of RAH.  I wish I had earlier though I can't find her sitting on the shelves now.  I will go out today though and find it.  I love the little relics they packed in.  I think my fav so far is the idol with Belloq.
