Retroist Podcast Episode 322 (Indiana Jones Toys & Games)
I wanted to wrap up my coverage of Indiana Jones with a discussion of some Indy odds and ends. So on this episode of the Retroist Podcast, I am going to talk about Indiana Jones Merchandise. I focus on the things I was most familiar with while growing up, so this is not comprehensive.
The show starts with a little story about comic book collecting. Although maybe it is more of a story about how collecting has changed over the years as larger economies have grown up around it. Either way, the story ends with me having free comics, always a good way for a story to end.
Then I talk about:
-
Marvel’s Indiana Jones Comics
-
TSR’s Indiana Jones role-playing game
-
Raiders of the Lost Ark Board Game
-
Kenner’s Indiana Jones Action Figures
-
LJN’s Temple of Doom Action Figures
-
Micro Machines
The Indiana Jones films spawned lots of great merchandise. Sadly, I was too young to collect it all. While I might not have had everything, the things I did have were more meaningful. If you like to get into Indy collecting now, you will find some high-priced items, but also a plethora of affordable and fun things to put on your shelves.
