Have they announced a German Mechanic for the 6 inch line?
Not yet but hopefully soon. I would expect an Indy Fan Stream between now and June 30th release of Dial of Destiny. On a side note some of the artifacts and accessories from the 2008 line work great with Adventure series! I have Indy holding the Cross of Coronado while surrounded by giant ants on my desk at work today. Lol.

Great tip, had me digging up all the artifacts from that line and a lot of them work surprisingly well with this scale. Image

I believe Hasbro is doing a joint Star Wars/Indy “Lucasfilm” panel at Celebration Europe next weekend.

Yay all my Pulse orders will ship this week. I saw Marion in Target and reluctantly passed. I wanna see the cute monkey…I’ll get them all together and enjoy opening the lot! I thought I had kept more of those artifacts from 4” line. I was only able to find a few. Bummed me out. Man I’m enjoying the heck out of these pics shared on interwebs. I have the Spawn Gunslinger horse and a regular saddle and bridle to hook him up. Horse may be a tad big but it should work.

So stinking exciting!

Thwipp!

Found the wave at Target yesterday. I only grabbed Indy & Toht. Indy is a disappointment, but Toht is fantastic. I love this figure. He's currently hiding in the microwave with his melting face waiting for my gf to discover him.

I feel like a big problem with the Indy figure (which does appear very disappointing from the photos I've seen) is that all the coloring looks very washed out, almost like it would on a bootleg figure.

The skin tone is really flat and the facial hair and features sort of retreat into the skin tone. I also think all of the clothing coloring is like a shade off.

Marion arrived today from Amazon. She's very non-toyetic and in an unflattering outfit, but overall I still like the figure. Although, the ankles should've been an unacceptable design choice on a $25 figure. I would've expected some kind of leg stem inserted into the pant leg. She kind of had the benefit of being in wave 1 and some of my excitement for an Indiana Jones series compelled me to buy at full price.

She has an up/down left wrist hinge as if a designer escaped from the Classified team.

Indy scales well with the Jada line as well

Would someone be so kind as to take a photo of Marion standing next to a ruler with inches? Need to see what her proportions measure out to be....

I think Indy came out great, likeness aside. I gave mine a light spray with some matte clear coat to lose the shininess and it made a huge difference. Took a pin vise to the belt and opened the hole so now the whip loop works without issue. I can't stop messing with him. So happy to be getting an Indy line.

I believe the back of the box says she’s 5.8” tall.
