Indiana Jones and the Dying Franchise

Mon, Oct 20, 2008

Harrison Ford recently dropped a few ominous hints about the continuation of the Indiana Jones franchise. You know that cat from Pet Sematary who came back after its logical conclusion and then aliens with Crystal Skulls came and ruined your childhood? It’s like that.

Similarly, Hasbro’s Indiana Jones toy line has been confirmed dead by Hasbro representatives, and before a Toht-with-alternate-melted-head figure was released. While this sudden death is undoubtedly due to ninety thousand unsold Mutt Williams figures swallowing up a majority of any local toy shop, Hasbro remains unclear about when the final bell will toll. Astute toy hunters have only been able to find the final (and most well-made) set of figures exclusively at Meijers (which exists only in the upper-midwest region of the US) and at strange hours on Hasbro’s online shop. So, until further notice, if you want a Short Round or a Mola Ram with flaming heart accessory, you’re going to have to drive to Ohio or hit the ol’ browser refresh button a whole lot. And no one should have to drive to Ohio
