While just about everyone’s pantin’ with anticipation for Indy 4, gauging the demand for the related toy line is a bit harder. Despite the popularity of the first three Indiana Jones movies, the toys were never big sellers back in the '80s. But Lucasfilm and Hasbro are going all out with some cool toys this summer.

The 3 3/4 action figures, small and tall, are greatly detailed and articulate. An added bonus is that some classic characters from the earlier films are also being made into figures. The Lost Temple of Akator playset made me wish I was 8 years old again – kids today have no idea how lucky they are to have these great toys to play with!

And check out the pix of the 12-inch dolls: Not only do they look A LOT like Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf, but if you buy a certain number of the 12-inchers (4 I think) you can send away for the exclusive Ark of the Covenant (the small one, not the monster one on display).

My favorite Indy Toy? The Indiana Jones Mr. Potato Head: Taters of the Lost Ark!
