    I had this play set. It was amazing. Unfortunately my parents sold all my stuff at their garage sale to pay for medical bills. Had I known this was so rare, I may have tried better to keep it. I'm getting chills watching this video.

    It's truly a tragedy that modern day Kenner, i.e. Hasbro, seems to have no interest in doing action-playsets. These were just as important to us as any action-figures & w/today's more sophisticated sculpting technology & better paint apps would be awesome for us adult collectors to own.

    Very nice review! Brought back memories of owning that toy. Congrats on that bonus Indy figure!

    I still have this playset. Never had Indy though. I always used a Han Solo figure.

    Dare I say it, this may be the best player Kenner ever made. Great review!

    I had this playset with Indy, Salah, Toht, the german mechanic, Marion, and the special edition Belloq.
    It was a blast.

    There were 3 Indy's per case and one Marion. The cases mostly were made up of Toht's and Cairo Swordsman. I was only able to find Indy and Marion because I happened to be at the store the morning they put the figures on the shelf. I never saw an Indy or Marion again in the store.

    • @RetroToyReview

      BCibroski - Thanks for sharing. The toy line is only as popular as it’s least popular figure. And beyond Indy and his friends... they were all “least”.

  • @ia5662
    @ia5662 9 років тому +4

    the C3PO and R2D2 were actually very intentional, not just a Kenner thing. Watch closely in those scenes in the movie and you can see hieroglyphics of them on the walls, a special Easter egg for fans of the Star Wars from Steven and George. They go by fast, but that is REALLY cool that the toy also incorporates that, wow.

  • @OBi77
    @OBi77 7 років тому +1

    AWESOME video! I had the entire line as a kid and loved all of them. I recently sold them off. Sad to see them go, but hopefully it went to someone who will appreciate it as I did all those years ago.

    I had this as a kid! It was about 1982,I was 7. I remember Indy figure, the ark its cover, the play set with snakes, and frog and the bald headed guy that died fighting Indy airplane propeler.I had indy. My dad threw everything out 1988..I was 13 as he trash bagged everything,saying I was to old for them.

    Great video! I had this, but sold it some years ago, but not with a loose Indy figure (LOL!)…I didn’t realize the Indy figures were so rare and it makes sense that the unavailability of him caused the failure of the entire toy line….how sad….they should have ramped up the Indy figure production!

  • @rokassan

    I had the German Deuce and a half truck, the Gestapo guy and the Indiana Jones in the Afrika Korps uniform...which I used as a German Soldier.

    The R2D2 and C3PO are a reference to the movie, in which they appear in the hieroglyphics

  • @butataRS
    @butataRS 3 роки тому

    Those aren't snakes... Asps, very dangerous Indy! Playsets as these would be almost, almost, as hard to find nowadays as the real Ark! I'm just glad I got to see it here.

  • @firesteel88
    @firesteel88 9 років тому

    great reviev, for a greta playset, I never had as a Kid an Indiana Jones action figure, I long for them, as a kid I customized a bespin han solo with a playmobil hat and a whip of leoric the leader of the visionaries, and I played with it, for years, later on I could buy my Indiana Jones action figure, from the disneyland souveniers figures
    success!

    The hyroglphics of R2 and 3P0 appear in the movie. If you freeze frame the scene, you can see it.

    • @RetroToyReview

      UnorthdoxCleric - Sure was! Wasn’t listed as having a figure when purchased and was a total surprise when he rolled out.

  • @jartladder15
    @jartladder15 5 років тому

    I had these. It was short-lived as far as what they produced but I actually think Kenner pushed these out again when Temple of Doom came out; I bought mine after seeing Temple so that means they were in stores in the summer of 1984. This is a great review! Great production values! I recently did a review of a carded vintage Indie on my channel.

  • @80sToysRoc

    Plus the toy line came out an entire year after the movie was in theaters. The enthusiasm of the marketplace had died down.

  • @markwho
    @markwho 8 років тому

    This was a really cool toy. I had this. Wish I still did. I got it for Christmas 1982, along with a ton of G.I. Joe stiff. The Indy figure doubled as Doctor Who, I had to use a bread tie for a scarf. Lol.

    Actually it did continue in 2008 with the 4 original movies because of the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull film figures were made for all 4 films by Hasbro lol plus Disney had some made for their theme parks as well, Hope they make some for Indiana Jones 5 too! 🤠 Thank you for sharing your collection memories sir! 🏆 🔟👍
