NerdyTrev Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 After it was mentioned in the infamous "End is Nigh" thread, I'm curious as to how we would all like for Indiana Jones Minimates to be made? Go forth and discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The first box set should be two Crystal skeletons, Shia LaBouef, and an alien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OvenproofBug6 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Me too, been a fan since I was a kid; Indy movies alongside Star Wars were some of the first live-action movies I watched as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If they sell well that would be good for minimates in general, but for me it would be a licence where I would only really want one figure (but would probably buy more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyTrev Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 I mapped out the rest of the series in my head. I felt compelled to share. I opted for a Ghostbusters-like treatment in which there's a standard series with an accompanying box set depicting a specific moment or scene from the given film. Also, I feel that the deluxe sets may be a bit much, but nothing's impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeTraveler Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Are these a real possibility? DST announce any on this line? I’d so want these! A Raiders set for sure please! A minimate rolling boulder packed as a middle piece. Indy & Short Round 2 pack with mine cart and broken track pieces.

hellpop Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I think an Indiana Jones set would be a big seller, but I don't think the property would have any legs after one or two sets. Let's face it, the vast majority of collectors (both of Minimates and Indiana Jones stuff in general) are only really going to want Indy, and since there's little variation in his look from film to film I doubt casual collectors would buy more than one set. I think you could maybe get three box sets out of it, for the first three movies, if enough people want a Sean Connery Minimate. Anything beyond that is a stretch.

Offering variations on Indy would allow new collectors to jump on board at any time. Look what DST did with Predator. We got WAY more variations of Dutch and the Predator than I expected. - Spider-covered Indy - Professor Indy - Nepal Indy - German disguise Indy And that’s just from the first flick.

NerdyTrev Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 - Dust covered Indy with tan gloves - Cairo Indy - Egyptian disguise Indy There's plenty of variation with Indiana Jones. Plus, who wouldn't want to army build generic soldiers?? They'd fit right in as civilian soldiers as well, similar to the Ultimate SHIELD Agents we got a few years ago.

Medicom would definitely agree with you because as far as I can recall they produced 4 kubrick versions of Indiana Jones all as described above ,nigh on all identical except that one was a big 400% version . No other Indiana Jones kubricks were produced by Medicom. Perhaps the weirdest or perhaps the most ironic kubrick of all was the Star Wars Series 2 'secret /chase'.............Indiana Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Lucasfilm kind of treats Indiana Jones like the step child when it comes to merchandise. The last big releases we had were back in 2008. But I'd buy that whole line you just listed. As an Indy fan I've been starving for some new figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 He’ll Disney has owned both Lucasfilm and Marvel for like seven years now and we still haven’t seen Indiana Jones comics. Star Wars comics started almost immediately but not so much as a miniseries for Doctor Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 There's something weird going on with Disney and Indy. Funko was able to make a Pop, but only as a park and con exclusive (at least that's what they said at the time). And if Funko can't get an Indiana Jones into every store in America, then DST doesn't have much of a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Disney doesn't like Indiana Jones because of Nazis. Yet they persist in plastering the Empire and Darth Vader all over their parks. Seriously, Stormtroopers have become more synonymous with Disney than Mickey Mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 No, I think it's specifically a licensing thing. I distinctly remember that Funko said they weren't allowed to make a wide release Indiana Jones, and that he could only be released as a park exclusive (and somehow they were able to fudge that to also be an SDCC exclusive). It could be something in whatever deal they have with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 As with the Fantastic Four and X-Men, Disney doesn’t want to promote anything that benefits the competition. It’s my understanding that Paramount still owns distribution rights to the Indiana Jones films, much like Fox did with Star Wars. I doubt Disney will promote Indy until they have a film of their own. Most merchandising will likely focus on that fifth film, not the previous installments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Well if we were to get Indiana Jones minimates, I would like to get the Nazi bodies as I would like to make Star Trek Customs from the episode "Patterns of Force" I have made a Kirk from that appears Nazi-like using the gray suited version of Bison from the Street Fighter series. I just would like to have the uniform look more authentic but I will not do the emblem of the Nazi regime but I would then be able to make Spock and McCoy in the uniforms as well.
