My Top 5 Indy Adventure Series figs... - Map Room Indy (I think the best Ford likeness in this line, plus the outfit, sculpted folds, details look really good on display). - Grail Knight (overall costume looks fantastic. Details are great on him, face also and very good sculpt). - Last Crusade Indy (better Ford likeness in the line, and adjustable hat. Looks probably the best of the classic leather jacket Indy's in this line). - Temple of Doom Indy (ripped shirt details all around, machete, bandage wound on hand). - Kazim (again, another good likeness of the actor and suit looks sharp and smart. Good weapons accessories too).

Great choices and user name too! I didn't pick Kazim myself, but he is a great looking figure. That suit does make him stand out from the other "Men in suits" lol. I had the hardest time finding Kazim. He never appeared at Target and I had to sadly pay a bit more than retail to get him 2nd hand. I am still kind of shocked just how far the tech has come from the 2008 Indy figures. I never picked them up back at the time Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out because the likenesses were a bit hit or miss. But this 6" line has been overall pretty solid!

@@Linkman247 Ha, thx my friend. Yeah, I stumbled on Kazim on Target's website when checking on my preorder for Club Obi Wan Indy (it never came so I had to buy, but cheaper, on eBay). Kazim was regular retail on Target (about $24.99). Yeah, never got the '08 line but this Adventure Series is very good to excellent on most figures. Wish they'll continue it. I need a Mola Ram and Willie, and if possible a Crystal Skull Indy, Mutt and Spalko. Maybe Archimedes to round it off and I'll be happy! ;) But sadly I heard no more figures, for now anyway. A petition should be made for Hasbro to make the important missing figures.

@shortround42 love the list! all great choices! it really was tough to only pick 5….am definitely going to have to rank them all or tier list

I was honestly surprised by your top 5. Having 4 of the top 5 being Indy himself! But was pleasantly shocked you had Club Obi Wan Indy as your top pick. I love this figure, was one of the first few I acquired and was amazing they did this variant (I mean, it makes sense given how many Indy looks we got, but still, as someone who just wanted one good Indy figure in his collection, this was surreal to get!). My top 5 would be: 1. Toht - I love that they gave us his melted face. It's so iconic to me and I've actually got 2 Tohts in my display because I want both looks. 2. Henry Jones Sr - I thought for sure he'd be on your list. I just love the overall look. 3. Club OW Indy - can't disagree that it's my favourite Indy, and came with every accessory you could want. 4. Grail Knight - I have it lower mainly due to him not being an essential character to have as a figure, but they definitely nailed the sculpt. 5. Marion - I was surprised how well she came out. It's not going to make anyone's list but I don't think I've seen anyone fault the figure. I think it's underrated. Honorable mention to the 2 pack Belloq, but also the DoD figures are pretty well done, but probably not as fondly viewed by most given what we missed out on. Still, without the new movie, we probably don't get this line at all, and I think the DoD figures are really nicely done and surprised me. Also, anyone think the Voller could almost pass as a Clark Kent figure? :P

thanks for the comment! man I love all the figures on your list, especially Toht and Henry Sr….they were hard cuts (probably 6th and 7th for me). In all honesty I surprised myself with my eventual list, I really didn’t think I’d have so many Indy’s, but they’re all so damn good! I do like the Marion shout, she’d top my list of ‘most pleasantly surprised’

Henry Jones Sr is a great shout too, was one of my most anticipated figures originally 🙂. Loved the accessories, wasn’t a huge fan of the colouring of suit (would have preferred a little more ‘texture’) but that’s just me! So so glad you love him. Thank you for taking the time to comment 🙌

I have Last Crusade Indy on the way and my Shortround still has not arrived and is listed as still being on preorder on BBTS. Considering cancelling my preorder and just getting him somewhere else. I feel like Short round may be in my top 5 with how many accessories he comes with. If I had to pick 5 from just the ones I have so far though? 5. Temple Escape Indy 4. Temple of Doom Indy 3. Toht 2. Henry Sr. 1. Grail Knight For me I feel like the Grail Knight is possibly the best figure in the series. The face sculpt and the detail of his cloak, chainmail and the fact his sword can be slid into a scabbard just makes it a fantastic figure. The Henry Sr. figure I love how many accessories he comes with and again the face sculpt is pretty solid. The Briefcase and umbrella and grail diary are great accessories Toht is another favorite of mine. He has a number of accessories that just make him incredibly fun. He can be displayed with and without his coat and his hat can be removed as well. But it's that melting face that makes him a win imo. The line has been referred to as the "Men in suits" line (Kazim probably being another standout). But Toht's alternate head accessory makes him just so unique. Temple of Doom Indy is another great one. I have hypnotized Indy on the way. But I like that he looks like he's been through some shit. His torn pant leg and bandaged hand make him stand out from some of the other Indy variants. Temple escape Indy I might not have picked otherwise because it is essentially a repackaged figure. I didn't pay full price, but I really like the pedestal and added sandbag. Being able to recreate such an iconic scene is something a bit harder to do with the standard/standalone raider's Indy because of some of the gaps in that line. We did get Toht and Belloq. But the Cairo Indy feels even more odd than the Temple Escape Indy because we don't have the Cairo Swordsman or German Mechanic. The Plinth for Temple Escape at least gives you something that you can pose Raider's Indy with. Last Crusade Indy (which looks like a great figure) at least has Henry Sr, Elsa, Grail Knight and Donovan to be posed with. I do like the Club Obi-Wan Indy and that white suit is iconic. But we sadly don't have much to really pose him with. We really needed a Red Dress Willie Scott or Lao Che'. That's one area where the Hypnotized Indy paired with Short Round really excels imo.

I can’t fault any of your choices, or your thinking behind them. I didn’t go with temple escape Indy because I’ve already got a large handmade diorama of the temple with a pedestal that I use instead. Shortround is a great fig, as is Henry Sr…both could have made top 5 on another day. thanks so much for taking the time to comment!

@@GeekFigureFan my last crusade indy arrived today with professor Indy. The only problem? I got the wrong Jones. Opening the Last Crusade Indy I got Dial of Destiny Indy with all his accessories. But it also had the Grail BAA piece. So I don't think it was anyone doing a switcheroo. It was still sealed so it had to have been a mistake from the factory. So that kind of indicates that if people are buying these to keep sealed in box? Well...there's always a chance the figure in the box isn't right. I have opened all mine.

Great selection for your top 5. Unfortunately, while I have finally acquired all the regular releases at last (and I got a Map Room Indy from Japan), a lot of figures either still need to be shipped or are in transit to me. Out of the ones I have in-hand, I would rate them: 5. White suit Beloq, 4. Last Crusade Indy, 3. Todt, 2. Henry Jones Sr, and 1. Temple of Doom torn shirt machete Indy. Overall, I really liked the line despite its issues and I'm bummed it's effectively over and done.

I don’t really have a top five that I have but more like a top five that I want. Two pack LC Marcus and Salah. Mola Ram, German soldier with swappable accessories like the SW Hoth rebel soldier in black series, and then probably Willie from TOD. That number can jump if they finally include Crystal Skull.
