This month's issue of ToyFare Magazine had a nice article about all the cool Indiana Jones toys coming out for the new movie. It covered some fun stuff like the Mighty Muggs urban vinyl figures and the Mr. Potato Head: Taters of the Lost Ark edition.Most interesting though was this mention of Kotobukiya Toys' scheduled Indy toy assault; they will be releasing statues in their ArtFX line, ArtFX theater line, and their One-Coin Line designed by Japanese Illustrator Yupon, which will be available exclusively in Japan (and hopefully at Comic-Con this year!).
There are to be 5 known figures and 3 secret characters, they will stand at 5cm, and will be blindboxed... meaning you'll have to buy a box of 10 to guarantee finding all figures. These are scheduled for release in late June and boxes are already being preordered online for about $60 bucks. According to Kotobukiya's website there will be 2 Indy figures, a Henry Jones figure, a Marion Ravenwood figure, a Mola Ram figure, and 3 secret figures (2 of which look like Shia LaBeouf's character and Cate Blanchett's character)
Yupon has designed 2 other lines for Kotobukiya's One-Coin figures, one for the video game "Lamento: Beyond the Void"
and another for a visual novel game (I don't know what that is) called "Togainu`s Blood"
Also keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming MARVEL line featuring: Dr. Doom, Nick Fury, Spidey, The Thing, Phoenix, an A.I.M. Agent, and 2 mystery figures.
These are really cool looking. I'm gonna try to at least snag the Marion Ravenwood one, look how cute the monkey is!! Poor guy, all he wanted was a date.
(HEY! Anyone who was interested in those Mighty Mugg figures, here's a link to a very cool blog someone did that has a photo checklist of all the ones that are currently out or in production. ALSO! he mentions that there will be some SD Comic-Con exclusives YAY!!)
