Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Must for any Indy figure collection!) 『Okay, so for starters, I'm a huge Indy fan. I have waited a long time for an Indiana Jones action figure line with decent quality and many characters, and since I've collected Star Wars figures forever, I actually wanted them to be this 3 3/4 size too (granted, I prefer my other collectible figures to be 6 inches or so, but I don't usually get accessories or playsets for those). Well, with the 4th Indy film, which is way underrated in my opinion (fellow longtime fans should give it a second viewing before deciding yea or nay; I had to warm up to it myself but love it now), that long dreamed of action figure line finally arrived from Hasbro... to mixed reactions. I'm sure many complaints were about the small size of the figures compared to the now more popular 6 inch or larger action figures out there for adult collectors these days. And, let's face it, most Indy fans are adults who grew up with the original films. However, I think what put most people off of this new line is that many, MANY figures were released to stores with awful paint jobs. I mean TERRIBLE paint jobs, specifically in terms of the eyes. This was most noticeable in the Raiders figures, and Indiana more than anyone.
Now, in my case, I wanted to wait and make sure they made more figures, and I wanted to see if the price wouldn't go down a bit too. Figures are way overpriced these days. But, once I saw Last Crusade figures on the shelves (along with a price drop of a couple of bucks), I dived in. A few of those first figures I bought I have previously reviewed, and let me tell ya, those ones I selected had excellent face sculpts! Of course, with huge, cartoony eyes painted on some of the figures, it would sure be difficult to notice the sculpting underneath. So, combine those first bad impressions with the fact that young kids just don't seem to "get" Indy (yeah, it was the second biggest film this past year, but the toys sat on shelves till the figures hit 3 bucks recently, and they're still moving slowly with a few character exceptions), and you end up with the problem I'm having now. I have wanted a Short Round figure to stand next to my Indy figure forever (a desire carried over from my original Kenner Indy figure), and it seems those Temple figures are only going to be available online now, for those of us in the states, at outrageous scalper prices since the first couple of rounds of figures sold so poorly. And to add insult to injury, the Elsa and Colonel Vogel figures have been in extremely short supply since day one. Man, I want an Elsa!
Anyways, as I searched fruitlessly for Elsa and the Temple figures this weekend at the big U.S. retailer who recently cut the price on these figures down to clearance levels, I did increase my total collection count to 14 (hope to add more before they're gone, too), as my second main focus was on Raiders of the Lost Ark figures, which I'd bought none of yet. I ended up with a nice number of Raiders characters, including an Indy with a good paint job and a decent Marion also.
Marion Ravenwood, as you ought to know if you're reading this, is Indy's love interest in the first and fourth Indiana Jones films, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". She's extremely feisty, too tomboyish for my tastes, but a perfect match for Indy and obviously a beloved part of Indy lore. This action figure doesn't really do a good job catching a likeness of Karen Allen and you do have to check out the paint job on it. Like the Raiders Indy figures, many were released with ridiculously, hugely painted eyes. If you're able to get one with a normal paint job though, she'll serve her purpose as a display piece or plaything alongside the other Indy figures well enough. Her clothing is faithfully recreated from the Cairo action scenes and Marion comes with a frying pan and sword as weapons, along with a surprise artifact in a paper crate. Each character comes with a different artifact, though those artifacts seem to be scaled more towards 6 inch figures (the only one of which I know being the new 6 inch Indy at the Disney theme parks). Marion is one of the less articulated figures in this line, as her knees do not bend, but she still offers plenty of other articulation and is satisfying enough overall. Not one of the better figures in the line, but decent and a must-own considering the important and unforgettable character she is based on. Also available in multi-packs.
『Planet Earth Prehistoric Dinosaurs 15 piece Playset. Great set of dinosaurs with the look of classic toy dinos figures from 50's and 60's with 2 rock formations and 2.5 inch tall plants.

Set includes: Stegasaurus, Dimetrodon, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Edmontosaurus (also known as Trachodon Duck-billed Dinosaur), Tyrannosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Pteranodon, and Apatosaurus (also known a Brontosaurus).』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A great figure!) 『This is easily one of the best figures of the 2006 saga collection, along with cody, scorch, and the countless of new clones and stormtroopers that hasbro is coming out with. It's a repaint, and it's a little bit hard to find but, its a very good troop builder. Great job hasbro! The 2007 30th anniversery collection is coming out soon, and it promises lots of clones! Including the galactic marine.』
(The 212th Battalion is on the march!) 『This trooper is an awesome addition to your collection! The paint job is better than any other clone, with scratch and scuff marks everywhere, just like in the movie.
The sculpt is awesome, but has one problem. The belt is upside down, but that is a virtually unnoticable.
As for accesories, this figure is a winner and a loser. I love the DC-15 Blaster Carbine the figure includes, but he needs a rifle too! He has an anntenea backpack which adds to the play value. Also included is a personalized display base and a randoomly packed hologram figure. Mine was a stormtrooper, but your trooper might include a different mini hologram!
The box is really cool too, it depicts the troopers in a battle on the sinkhole planet of Utapau.
Articulation? GREAT! Since he's the same sculpt as the 41 trooper, he has all the articulation he needs for numerous poses.
Get one if you find one!』
(Just like #41) 『This Utapau Clone Trooper is so cool!! He is another repaint of clone trooper #41, but this time even cooler. Once I get a Commander Cody, I can have the Battle of Utapau.』
(Clone Trooper Delta 42) 『This extreamely durable soldier of the 212th. Star Core under the command of Commander Cody(unit:20045) and General Obi-Wan Kenobi, probably saw action in the Utapau theater. If not, it was with 212 Division A, core 22, on Felucia's North Province.』
(212th Legion Clone Trooper) 『This is the only trooper they sell these days bassicly and is very well detailed. This may seem to just be a battle of utapau clone trooper while it is actaully a 212th legion clone (a type of clone) if you look this type of clone trooper up you will to find that it is a member of the 212th legion led by Clone Commander Cody. An example if you dont know what a clone legion is just go to your local toy store and look at the 327th star corps (they're the 327th legion). This clone is hard to find in stores (at least where I live) and has good details.』 『As the droid armies descend upon Utapau, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody lead a team of clone troopers into battle. Their mission is to protect Obi-Wan and help capture General Grievous at all costs. These troopers fight bravely for Jedi Master Kenobi until their allegiances change after the execution of Order Sixty-Six. Figure measures 4". Includes 2" exclusive hologram figure.』
