The Indy toys never did well back in the day, even right after Raiders came out, and there were hardly any at all for Temple of Doom, and I can't remember anybody doing anything, toy-wise, for Last Crusade.
So it's befuddling to me that all these companies are jumping back into the license like they are. LEGO, Hasbro, Burger King. . . All making toys, apparently aimed at kids, based on a twenty-five year old property, that never did all that well in the way of merchandise, and featuring a sixty-five year old man in the latest installment?
I mean, it's cool and all, as I'm really looking forward to seeing everything--especially Hasbro's stuff--but if it didn't work back then, why would it now?
I thought we'd see more higher-end type collectibles, aimed at the older collectors who grew up with the films in the eighties. Sideshow, Gentle Giant, Master Replicas (well, maybe not Master Replicas, anymore), that type of stuff. But there's really nothing high-end on the horizon at all, aside from that $1500 statue from Kotobukkake or whoever it is.
Very strange deal to me.
