Michael, Tony and Matt join forces to create a masterful documentary about the 2008 Hasbro Indiana Jones Toyline. But it is Michael's film making expertise, attention to detail and dedication, that lifts this video production to new heights. 10/10.

Two years ago I made a comment on this video that I still regret, so I erased it as I feel it does not represent who I am or how I feel about your videos. I love your in depth Indy reviews including this one, which I have watched multiple times since it was released. I know it might be weird to still think about a youtube comment I left years ago, but it still bugged me even years later. I'm sorry for that stupid comment. I probably just had a very bad day and just didn't process it right. I just needed to get this out. Thank you for continuing to make great work, Michael!

Too young to have experienced Kenner Indiana Jones, and “Too old” (aka pretended I was too cool) for Hasbro Indiana Jones. I never had any of the toys unfortunately. So this is a wonderful look into everything that I missed out on. Had these figures come out in the 90’s I would’ve lost my mind. I ran around the yard with my dad’s old capgun (sans caps) and a jump rope for a lasso singing the Indiana Jones theme to myself. So these toys would’ve seen heavy play, especially with Joes. I can see it now, Indy leading a Joe team to look for some artifact or other to thwart Cobra’s plan.

Kinda the same here. I was 16 when Indy 4 came out and I loved the movie but I just felt I was "too old" and "too cool" for toys at that stage. By the time I realised that you could buy appreciate them as an adult (a year later), they had pretty much all gone and there were just a few random ones available on clearance. Definitely not making that same mistake this year but I'm worried that Disney won't put as much effort into marketing Indy the way they did Star Wars or how Paramount did with Indy last time

This is why I return to this channel time and time again. The quality of the content never lets the viewer down. Congrats to all on getting this over the line. I can’t imagine the amount of work that has gone into such a big production. And thank you all for brining it to us. This will be the gold standard of the Hasbro Indy toy line forever more.

This is probably my new most favorite Retroblasting feature, thanks to everyone who worked on it. =) ALSO! I just remembered how I got my figures of Temple of Doom Indy, Short Round, and Thugee Taskmaster several years ago. I was in a toy store in a local mall that sold a lot of bootlegs and I saw a large bin FILLED with loose 2008 Temple of Doom figures being sold dirt cheap. I actually thought they were bootlegs but when I got home I found the date and Hasbro markings on them so they were the genuine deal. If only I knew back then!

Also, in 2009 the body and accessories were reused in the _Marvel Universe_ line's *Invaders* pack for - appropriately - the Red Skull figure, complete with a detailed HYDRA armband.

I will say, I'm digging the Temple of Doom figures, and wouldn't mind getting them for my collection. As a kid of the 80s though, the Kenner figures will always be my favorite, and as much as I know it's a rehashed gimmick, I'm a bit excited to see how they handle the Retro Indiana Jones figures, and depending on how they are presented, I may try to get those. As always, another solid video, great job guys!

A great video and content from all parties. Bravo to you at Retroblasting, Analog Toys, and Mr. Kearns. I have spent the last few months constructing my own Ultimate Raiders Indy from your video and it sits as a nice display piece. I wish the line had more moxy and people flew to it like they had Star Wars. This is a line of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. But theres some decent figures and the vehicles are a great last hurrah for Hasbro and their vehicle aversion. I wish the line had more so we could have the full cast of the films and even the unreleased Marvel comic packs from "The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones" and expansion into stories like "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" and "The Fate of Atlantis." But alas. A fantastic video on all fronts, and brilliantly informative. Bravo.

I didn’t buy any of the IJ action figures unfortunately, However I did buy numerous sets from the Lego line, which I suggest you check out because it is seriously one of their greatest LEGO themes to date with an awesome video game as well. Where hasbro fumbled with Indiana Jones, LEGO absolutely nailed it and produced some beautiful play sets and incredible minifigures.

I have very fond memories of the Indy line back in 2008. I had the temple of akator, the jungle cutter, German cargo truck, a 2 pack of German soldiers, and a pack of crystal skull figures from target. Growing up besides Star Wars and lego toys, I wanted Indiana Jones toys, and that wasn’t easy. When hasbro got the license and I learned of the lego sets I was super excited. I never owned any of the original lego sets but I loved the hasbro toys, I could spend hours playing with them, and was disappointed when I couldn’t find them anymore. With toys coming back for the new movie, I’m hoping they stick around for a while

I had the Indiana Jones cracking whip figure as a small child and loved it as my dad brought me up on IJ and SW, later on my dad found a ridiculous amount of Kenner toys at auction for £12 because it was an antique auction with the wrong demographic. It had the at-at, the falcon, the rebel transport, the at-st and a box with more than half of the Kenner figure line. They are me and my dads family heirlooms which I will love for the rest of my life. Thank you dad, I mention it all time but thank you.

With such a deep love of the original three films, I have to admit, seeing this rage of figures and vehicles as an adult years later had me feeling every bit like a kid again... Back when the films came out, my parents could never have afforded to get me these kind of toys, and so I was unaware of the original 80's line, which kinda made it even sweeter to have a fully articulated 3.75" Indiana Jones figure decades later. I didn't see the bad face sculpt, I didn't see the huge cumbersome holster, or the (scruffy?) trousers, I saw a fantastically colored, highly detailed cool looking action figure of my all time hero. I guess I saw it through the eyes of when I was a kid, and it looked great to me, after all, I wasn't looking for perfection. Seeing this line of toys scrutinized to within (3.75) inches of its life seems unfair, compared to some action figures, the line looked rushed, compared to others out there, it looked good, to those of us who weren't quite as spoilt, it looked amazing.

Grant, if you don't like my face and the tone of my voice, you need to either keep that to yourself or move along, because telling someone that their entire personality is the problem is a really horrible thing to tell someone when you have no certainty what their actual intentions are in the emotions they want to convey. If I was on the spectrum, you'd be in real hot water right now. You need to check your comments like this in the future with people. Nobody makes an hour and 20 minute video for something they hate, and I was very complimentary about this line throughout this video. It's clear you weren't listening because you don't like the tone of my voice. Well, my dude - step off the pier while I wave good bye, because I can't solve your problem with me.

I will just say that as a walmart employee in 2008. Wave 3 was ordered in the same amounts as wave 1 and 2. Since they were released within a few months of each other, buyers basically took it on faith that the line would sell because Hasbro assured us that this movie was going to be a big thing like Transformers was the year before. The hype for Indy 4 was also huge, there was talks that it would be THE movie of the summer. Wave 1 and 2 were issued simultaneously and I can remember setting up the huge endcap display of these toys. The indy figures all sold first followed by Marion (shortpacked), the soldiers, and the new characters. The only shelf warmers we had were the Ugah and Cemetery warriors Monkey Man and Belloq in his robes. We ordered a restock, and then the movie hit. Now we were stuck with 2 waves of figures and a 3rd wave on the way, which other than Indy and the machine gun, the rest sold poorly. This is what led to the underordering of the Temple wave. Meanwhile the movie that ended up owning the summer "The Dark Knight" we couldn't keep those on shelves especially the Heath Ledger Joker figure.

Also, I might add that the lost wave was supposed to be wave 5. The figures were sculpted and photographed for retailers, and online stores even having pre-orders of them. I ordered a set on entertainment earth until the line's cancellation ended that. Fans were livid, wanting these released either as an online exclusive or a store exclusive. Hasbro told fans for over 3 years it was not going to happen, until 2011 and the 30th anniversary of Raiders gave them the idea to release as a SDCC set. A move that angered fans and, has valued this set at close to 1,000 dollars on the secondary market because of how desirable it is. As for the other vehicles that never saw release, Hasbro had intentions on releasing more, but the lack of sales on the other vehicles post movie really hampered that idea. One vehicle that was never going to happen was the flying wing. Hasbro reps said due to the length and overall size of it, it was not cost feasible to spend money on tooling and production on such a project in its first year. Maybe down the line should the line sell to expectations, we could have seen something. Heck maybe through Haslab we will see something.

Fantastic video. Great work. The analysis and detail is what I have come to expect from Retroblasting. Question: You mention that someone at Hasbro must have been a fan to incorporate the level of detail included in the line. Could the "failure" of this line be one reason why Hasbro does NOT let fans of an IP work on designs for that IP?

I have to say that I really liked the 12" scale mail away Ark of the Covenant for the line. That was a simply beautiful piece at the time and the only piece I ended up keeping all these years. Great review as always good sir.

Fellas, this was above and beyond! Tip top work. Feature length toy archeology and I enjoyed every minute of it. I didn't realize how much better the line got, having never seen TLC figures at retail or really checking into the SDCC line. I know those figures fetch some fairly high prices, but I am now inspired to go on a quest for them...

32:31 yep, his pisol is TT-pistol 30 (Tula, Tokarev) - or just named after the constructor "Tokarev". Was very useful (still it is) from 1930-s to 1990-s, when in first decade and after it was used by Soviet Army, in the last one-mainly by killers.
