Indy Disney toys info and pics.

  Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - Gilles V
 

Toy Mania talks about the new Indiana Jones toys from Disney. Especially about the 4.5" figure that comes with a braided bullwhip, revolver, sword, and torch. The toys will continue to be available only at Disney Theme Parks, with no plans to sell them outside the park. The figures were sculpted by the same talent at Applause that produced the Star Wars Episode I collectibles. Because they are mainly targeting park visitors' impulse purchasing, any future figures being produced is solely at the discretion of Disney. However a strong response to the figures could trigger more characters and accessories.
Hit the link above for more info and detailed pictures of the 4.5" figure.

Thanks to MovieHeadlines.Net for the news.

Indiana Jones DVD's for Xmas 2001?

  Saturday, February 3, 2001 - Gilles V
 

TheForce.net has heard rumors that The Phantom Menace DVD will be released around Thanksgiving 2001 but more important, the rumors also mention Indiana Jones on DVD just in time for Christmas. Let's hope that we don't get excited for nothing. Only time will tell if the rumor is right.

Big Scoop on the Toys McCoy Indy figure

  Thursday, February 1, 2001 - Gilles V
 

Bellosh (Lost Drafts writer) recently had the idea of writing an article for a website of a friend of him who helps to run onwriters.com, about the Toys McCoy line, because they're planning a series of features on pop culture 'masterpieces' which the Toys McCoy line is. So he emailed some Japanese dealers for info about Toys McCoy, and incidentally asked if they had any Indiana Jones figures left (Bellosh has a lot of friends who want one). Most didn't reply, probably due to language difficulties, but one guy did, and here's what he had to say:

Thank you for your contact to me. Indie already gone. We have no stock now. I can give you big news what Indie will be released new version in this year from Toys McCoy. Please wait for a while.

Obviously there's no official information, but why would a dealer make this up? They hardly want to annoy potential customers. Bellosh thinks it's a true bill. So what could it be?

Many thanks to Bellosh for the scoop!!  And check out his onwriters.com. The site is loaded with good stuff!!
