Indiana Jones (in disguise) Combo Topper Plus: Accessory Staff of Ra!  |
Missed the ball on having the sword and gun on the Cairo Swordsman’s ears. Marion should have had the headpiece for the Staff of Ra and or the monkey or a frying pan.
Chaser: I call either the Ark or Indy in his professor outfit.
Overall, I still love this set. Day one and a box set purchase for me.
The variant has to be Toht’s face melting.
The chaser will be snakes. “I hate snakes!”
Very nice set! Both Indys are spot on. They missed on Marion’s face but all others look really good especially Maj Toht. I agree w/ The Playright that there should be a Toht’s melting face variant.
Where’s Short Round?
Short Round wouldn’t be in this set, he’s was in Temple of Doom, which took place before Raiders. But that’s a whole other thing.
We’ll see him in the next set.
A cool chaser would be the idol from the opening sequence.
Ooo. Hadn’t thought of that. So, with that in mind, Im changing my chaser to that, and the variant being Indy in his professor outfit.
Toht or Belloq face melt as a figure, while interesting, would be too gruesome for a figure. Maybe if a fan did a custom for the set, but other than that…
In the words of Donovan: “You could be more right than you know”
How was the release date confirmed? Can’t find any official news and haven’t heard and leaked info.
The date was told directly to me by the Disney Cast Member working the last WDW Trade Night on 12/17 where these figures were displayed. It was read off their official release schedule. I believe the date because they have stopped giving us actual dates unless they are confirmed with product shipped out.
