Retroist Podcast Episode 322 (Indiana Jones Toys & Games)

I wanted to wrap up my coverage of Indiana Jones with a discussion of some Indy odds and ends. So on this episode of the Retroist Podcast, I am going to talk about Indiana Jones Merchandise. I focus on the things I was most familiar with while growing up, so this is not comprehensive. The show starts with a little story about comic book collecting. Although maybe it is more of a story about how collecting has changed over the years as larger economies have grown up around it. Either way, the story ends with me having free comics, always a good way for a story to end. Then I talk about: Marvel’s Indiana Jones Comics TSR’s Indiana Jones role-playing game Raiders of the Lost Ark Board Game Kenner’s Indiana Jones Action Figures LJN’s Temple of Doom Action Figures Micro Machines The Indiana Jones films spawned lots of great merchandise. Sadly, I was too young to collect it all. While I might not have had everything, the things I did have were more meaningful. If you like to get into Indy collecting now, you will find some high-priced items, but also a plethora of affordable and fun things to put on your shelves.
