Indiana Jones is one of the greatest action heroes in all of movies. His premiere in Raiders of the Lost Arc was a throwback to the swashbuckling pulp heroes of yesteryear brought to us by the team of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. But unlike similar 80's properties like Star Wars, he has never had the kind of action figures he deserves. But that is all changing as Hasbro is brining us the Indiana Jones Adventure Series - an ongoing set of six inch action figures that are some of the best Indy figures ever produced. In this video we take a look at Indiana Jones toys over the years and determine which are the very best and we look to the future of the line. So put on your hat, grab your whip and get ready for everybody's favorite adventuring archeologist - Indiana Jones!

For all its faults the Adventure Series is definitely the best Indy we’ve ever gotten. Likeness, articulation, accessories, while middling on some fronts, have the modern technology to blow every other previous Indy fig out of the water.
I'd argue the sideshow temple indy is much better.
@@timothysanroma542 Or even the figma indy
@@timothysanroma542 Not really fair to compare a $200+ collector's item to a bunch of widely available action figures.
These new figures look great. I’d like to see a grail guard. Man, I really wish the black series would do a “build-a-something” like legends and these.
Agree on Grail Guard - if they put the kind of detail into him they have in the rest of these - whoa baby!
you mean the grail knight? They did one and he is one of the best figures in the line.
As for who I’d like to see in this line, it comes down to one of two, and they’re both from The Last Crusade: Dr. Henry Jones or the Grail Knight.
Bingo! Those two are musts!
Henry Jones Sr. is the figure most of us want to see.
Great call!
I think it was announced as a pipeline figure. So we will eventually get it!
@@Kogz03 we did get it and Henry Sr. is awesome!
You should totally do an update or part 2 of all the new Adventure Series Indy figures coming soon :)
I agree. I would like to see Mola Ram in the line, as well as Professor Henry Jones, Sr. and The Grail Knight. Maybe even Dietrich, so we can recreate the deaths of all three villains in Raiders.
Perfect choices!
@@CarbonScoring Thanks. Also, can I show you a comic I found a little while ago?
@@omnitrixbearer7364 sure!
@@CarbonScoring Is there a way I can send it to you? UA-cam keeps taking down my comment with the link.
I would love the german mechanic
Still waiting for a 3.75 Marion in her Nepal bar outfit...I get the dress is iconic, but would love to see her in a more scrappy outfit next to Indy...
I'm so looking forward to the inevitable Dr. Jones sr figure
You and me both!
Great video, definitely looking forward to seeing your vid for the next wave. Minor correction, I think that rightmost indy at 10:43 is a Cairo indy from Raiders
Good call! You are totally right - he comes with the monkey from the bar scene with Belloq
AWESOME!!! I just love Indiana Jones!!!
9:20 Smart idea using the left fist for the right hand. I’m guessing it didn’t come with one?
It does. I think he might’ve just made a mistake during filming.
Oh MAN oh man am I happy I stumbled upon this video ✊🏼🤠☝🏼 Good show sir 👏🏻
Arguably, one of the most action-packed, exhilerating, appropriately funny when needed to be, thrillingly awesome adventure film series of all time:
Indiana FRIGGIN’ Jones maaan 💛🔥🥳🤩🎬
I have always longed for proper Indiana Jones action figures as I was too young to grab the 1981 Kenner line.
I’d see pictures here and there over the years and always drool at the thought of having Indiana, all of his allies and arch villains. 2008 was the year that finally happened.
Hasbro introduced Indy, his allies and all villains in what is arguably one of the coolest, most fun and satisfyingly competent and complete line of action figures based on the original trilogy, but also of “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (a movie I’ve warmed up to over the years, definitely some awesome stuff in there!)
Now? In 2023, the Man in the Hat, the man who has his picture next to the word “Adventure” in Webster’s is BACK BABY!!!! And Hasbro has delivered, and then some.
Not only are they now perfectly sculpted in my MUCH preferred larger scale of 6-inches, but detailing, articulation, the packaging, the character choices and overall style of these new action figures are just perfection to me.
They’re so much fun, and so exciting. I keep finding myself playing with them and staring at them as well as the box art. There is some gorgeous work here done in and out of the packaging (loved that awesome map wrapping they come in!)
I also really appreciate your enthusiasm and how happy you seem when explaining and handling these action figures, it’s quite refreshing 💛
The mere fact we are getting characters like Rene Belloq in his awesome and slick as hell suit WITH a machine AND WITH Marcus Brody, Kazim (who is no slouch in the accessories department; dude is fully loaded with all kinds of awesome weaponry!) 🔥WALTER DONOVAN🔥😮💨✊🏼, all the great versions of Indiana, truly gives me hope for the line and it’s healthy future.
I am supporting Hasbro through and through all the way up AND down with this line.
My only constructive criticisms are:
-Indiana is in dire need of a sturdier and much larger pistol/sidearm
-That the designers enable these action figures to have far better shoulder movement. I dislike anything double jointed, don’t need toe articulation and doing away with visible ‘pins’ is perfect, so kudos for the sublime and aesthetically pleasing articulation style the designers employed here, BUT the range is what I’m talking about:
••I’d love to have above 90 degrees to get the toys in more ‘punching’ poses or looking better with holding any weaponry or accessories.
I have faith we will get all of the necessary charterers in that beautiful Adventure Series action figure style that have yet to be revealed 🌟
Wants List:
-Colonel Dietrich (Raiders)
-German Soldiers 2-Pack (Raiders)
-Cairo Mercenaries 2-Pack (Raiders)
-German Mechanic (Raiders)
-Marion Ravenwood in Nepal & White Dress (Raiders)
-Mola Ram (Temple of Doom)

Thanks again for the fun video and for the championing of Hasbro’s line!
Thank you for your passionate and well thought out comment! A true Indy fan you are!
Your collection is AWESOME!
Thank you! Happy to share it!
Great review, though for 1:6, you should look at updating that Medicom to either a Hot Toys or the Sideshow Temple of Doom as the Medicom is pretty dated now in 2023. Or if you want to go best of the best build a Custom from the many great artists out there. My custom build even has a real genuine leather whip by Joe Strain (official whip maker on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) Custom of course ends up being a lot more expensive but Indy deserves it. 🤠
Great tips! I agree, as I was doing research for this video I came across the Hot Toys ones - I guess since I already had the Medicom, I just missed them when they came out - you are right they look excellent, but your custom sounds even better!
@CarbonScoring you could also go with the Present Toys Raider Jones which is third party but is imo just as nice as the Hot Toys figure, cheaper and with a real leather jacket.
The adventure series sadly seems like it is at an end. But I feel like we got some great figures. The Grail Knight, Henry Sr, Toht, Last Crusade Indy are all fantastic.
If they could have squeezed in Willie and Mola Rom, I would have everything I ever wanted - but for an surprise out of nowhere line, they absolutely crushed it!
@@CarbonScoring yeah. If the rumormill is to be believed...mola ram was in the works but ead canceled likely due to Disney.
Even if we had the red dress Willie Scott she could have been posed with the Club Obi Wan Indy who really has nothing to be posed with.
While i didnt like Dial its also strange they didnt put a dial in with Voller or Helena.
And I would have at least like Spalko and Mutt.
Toys Mcoy 12" Indy - Best in my book.
I really hope they add more of the villains like a spalko or vogel!
I’m kinda curious to see if the revolver that 3.75 Indy came with would work with the Adventure series Indy figure cause the adventure series one is too small to me. Great video as always.
Thanks for watching! Might have to try that myself
i love indy and this vid but you missed a figure lego indy and the reasonfor that is imagine a kid that one kid could use its imagination to build a lost temple or a mystic city for indy to explore
8:33 I might not recommend to squeezing the knees
Yeah - it is a pretty risky move...
I will agree. This is a sold box design
Hellow. Great Review.
You know if the Idol base will be on sell?
I have done it in other videos
I can’t wait for the adventure series to make a Henry Jones Sr
Clearly he is the most wanted figure
Can't agree with your articulation pick, as much as I appreciate the classics. We had O-ring versions of Gil Gerard and Anthony Perkins for a couple years before this figure, and in '82 some fella named Joe also made his debut...
Sure - but it was a step up for Kenner (and I had to find a way to showcase that figure)
First one here, and i gotta say i love the new Indy figure we got now and great to see the history that these figures have had! Thank you so much for this informational video!
1:06 Solig hahaha
100% agree that we need a Mola Ram. I'd like to see generic bad guys like German soldiers and Thuggee minions!
I’d be down for those!
The temple of doom Indiana jones variants look way better than the first indy.
Everyone I see wants Mola Ram but no companies are making him :(. The lego set was cancelled and there isn't even a funko pop
Yeah - he seems untouchables
This box style packing is interesting it allows you to keep the box and open the figure without buying duplicates. But in the end all these 6" figures are going to disappear, their overpriced.
Edit: Willie and Mola Ram?
The one or ones that were not in the last 2 movies
Lucasfilm is not going to let us have Mola Ram. Sadly, they want to let that character fade away.
I know you are right, but I can still hope...
Indie fans are eating VERY well lately
Just once I’d like to listen to a UA-cam reviewer that doesn’t sound like he’s reading a bedtime story to a 5-yr old.
Yeah, I guess. I just really love action figures and try to share that joy with others.
They are basic action figures and that’s ok. I don’t care for the sculpts and paint on the new ones it Looks glossy. I should’ve bought that side show or whatever one maybe it was hot toys that one is dope. Too expensive for me, I’m done collecting, but that one is sick.
For sure the Hot Toys are going to be superior, but for most collectors they are way out of their price range
You didnt include the Figma Indiana Jones, which, in my opinion, is superior to all of these
wow- I had no idea that existed, so I just looked it up - you are right - that is a mighty nice looking figure!
Engineering-wise, it's probably the better figure, but they based it off his aged look, so is not as exciting as some of the others.
The tech has also improved in these past years, so the newer Hasbro have a bunch of detail that the Figma lacks, that said, the Figma is 10 years old at this point, so we gotta show respect regardless.
@@julianx2rl and here comes the new SHFiguarts Indiana Jones that blew away the rest….
@@CarbonScoring a new SHF version came out
@@mikeedee24 - Now that* is the real deal.
The new one that just came out is badly designed and will not stand on its own, so I'd say it's by default the worst.
I haven’t had that problem with mine
@@CarbonScoring I finally gave it another go. I had to run his feet under hot water for a minute and then push the tips of his feet upward until he could stand. I just never had that problem with my 100+ Black Series figures so thought it was defective.
@@Nixlplix yep certainly shouldn’t have to do that, but I’m glad you got it fixed
