Indiana Jones Q&A With Hasbro Round #3

The folks who work on the new Indiana Jones toy line at Hasbro have agreed to do a regular Q&A session with us here at TNI regarding their new toy line hitting shelves now.


TNI: The pack-in relic idea has been welcomed by the collector crowd and children alike. However, the dead-line for mailing off for the "special figure" is late October. Are there plans to continue with the relic pack-ins and if so will there be any additional mail-away promotions planned for 2009? This question was asked by TNI reader Psimitar.

Hasbro: There is no additional mail-ins planned for 2009. The relics will continue in the current figures through Spring 2009, while all of the new figures coming Spring 2009 will have figure stands.


TNI: Will we see more 12" figures? If yes will we see some of the Female figures as well, like Marion and the female villains? This question was asked by TNI reader Gareee.

Hasbro: There will indeed be more 12" figures through next Spring. We would like to do at least one female, but it has yet to be seen whether she will indeed make the line, depending on tooling costs. We will have more details later in the Fall.


TNI: My question is why did you folks make figures based on the third movie before the second movie (Temple of Doom)? Does the decision come from a marketing standpoint that 'The Last Crusade' is more popular and would sell better? I'm curious as to what the thought process behind this decision was? Thanks! This question was asked by TNI reader Joenubb.

Hasbro: Yes, that is the very reason why Last Crusade figures came first.


If you would like to ask a question of this team, head over to our FORUMS and post it. We may use it in a our next Q&A which will take place on August 1.
