I was at WM and saw the Indiana Jones action figures and several will look the part in a 1/18 diorama, specially the Mutt Williams and Indy ones.

If they are not, they are very close and do not look out of place with 1/18 cars. When I get one, I will get the 1/18 ruler and measure it.

Bug, our WM and Targets just put them out about a week ago. They seem to be selling well. The movie is not out for a few week still, but it has tons of tie-ins.

:cheers Al, WM and Targets don't bode well for getting them here ! :hater
I've hunted high and low for those WM Barbies we discussed in the other thread here in SA. No go ! :shipwrecked
Rather strange as all other Mattel products are all over the place ??
Probably made under license for WM.

Is there a new Indian Jones movie coming out!

I'm seeing all kind of gear and promotions for it - but I have not seen any commercials for the movie. :confused
