00:00 Oh, you can call him. Just don't call him Junior though.
00:03 Here's a look at the Hasbro Indiana Jones Adventure Series Build-an-Artifact
00:06 Indiana Jones Last Crusade, Indiana Jones.
00:11 Indiana Jones races against the forces of evil to find the Holy Grail and keep
00:25 it from falling into the wrong hands. Kids and collectors alike can imagine
00:29 the action and adventure of Indiana Jones with figures from the Indiana Jones
00:32 Adventure Series. While Indy follows the religious footprints leading him to the
00:37 Fountain of Youth, we're gonna go ahead and grab the tape measure and see how
00:40 tall the figure stands. This will be the start of the Last Crusade Build-an-Artifact
00:44 wave. Although it's a little questionable, of course they're gonna be
00:47 throwing in there some Dial of Destiny figures, whether you like it or not.
00:50 Indiana Jones though stands about six and a quarter inches in height. He does.
00:54 Or the figure is gonna be about 16 centimeters tall. Let's now bring in a
00:59 couple of other Indiana Jones figures for comparison's sake. Here's what the
01:02 Last Crusade Indiana Jones looks like with the Temple of Doom Indiana Jones.
01:06 And no, you're not seeing double. Here's what the figure as well looks like with
01:09 the Cairo Indiana Jones from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Here's what Indiana Jones
01:13 looks like with old sad Indiana Jones who just wants to stay in the past. And
01:17 here's as well what the figure looks like with hypnotized Indiana Jones, also
01:21 from Temple of Doom. So with this wave, this is the Build-an-Artifact wave that
01:25 will have the tabletop that has all the different chalices. And you have to
01:29 choose wisely, which is the Cup of Christ. Part of that way, at least along the way,
01:33 we're gonna be building the table. But I guess just before doing that,
01:36 this particular Indiana Jones comes, I guess, with the bottoms of the legs. It
01:41 comes actually in three parts and I'm not really quite sure how these all
01:44 parts come together. My guess is you're gonna kind of line everything up like
01:47 this. This is, I guess, supposed to be like this, right? Kind of looks more like a
01:51 planter's pot than anything else. And then you have this piece. Now if you were
01:55 to look at this piece, there's a kind of a groove of plastic right here and
01:58 there's sort of a canal of plastic right here. I would imagine it fits like this,
02:02 but I don't think it's supposed to fit like that on top. So my guess is, and all
02:07 of this I'm sure will be revealed eventually when we finish building
02:10 the table, is supposed to look like that. This is supposed to snap down. I don't
02:13 want to start committing to that just in case I decide wrong. I don't want to be
02:16 like that, choosing the wrong cup, because we all know how well that worked out for
02:20 everybody. So I'm gonna leave it as it is right now. You basically get three pieces.
02:23 We're gonna make some, hopefully, progress as we continue the rest of
02:27 these reviews. For the figures accessories, many of these are things
02:31 that we've already seen with Indiana Jones from before. I suppose one thing
02:34 that is a little bit different this time around is you get an MP40 submachine gun.
02:38 The machine gun itself is made of fairly soft plastic. Certainly something
02:43 Indiana Jones can carry around with it. I think actually the gun itself in the
02:46 movie is a little bit different than what we get right here. I don't know,
02:48 maybe it was a licensing issue that Hasbro had to change the design a bit
02:51 from the gun. It's molded here, needless to say, in all black plastic and it can
02:56 be fit in Indiana's hand. He already has the dedicated hand for that and if you
03:01 wanted to, of course, you can bend the elbow and have Indiana Jones holding the
03:04 bottom stock of it like this, or you can also have him holding this area as well.
03:08 It's one way again to differentiate this figure, I suppose, from all the Indies
03:12 from before with all the same accessories as before. Those similar
03:16 accessories, by the way, I'm going to put the figure down here for a second, bear with me.
03:20 Those similar accessories, in fact, were his pistol. I'm sure by now how many
03:25 times have we gotten this pistol. I'm just going to reach off to the side and
03:27 bring in the one we just recently had a look at from Cairo, Indiana Jones. Is it
03:31 the exact same pistol? Would you also believe it stores in the same place? What?
03:35 It does? Wait, what? It does. It stores actually just on the side holster here.
03:39 But if you wanted to, of course, you can also put the pistol in his hand. It works
03:42 the same way. Hands, hey, do do that. But what you can do, though, is on the side
03:47 just underneath his jacket, he has himself a little holster there. The holster is kind
03:51 of hard to kind of get to because first of all, you get the jacket in the way this
03:54 time around. You just want to take the pistol and fold it down as best as you
03:58 can get it. Now, good luck, good luck trying to get the flap properly over. You
04:02 may get the flap there, but then you got this little connecting piece that's
04:06 supposed to plug into this hole, and it never works properly for me. It does work
04:10 successfully for you, then congratulations. Virtual star for you.
04:15 All joking aside, though, I really have had a hard time ever really getting this
04:19 flap to stay shut. I've actually had a better time, an easier time, to get the
04:23 whip in place because the figure comes included with two variations of the whip.
04:26 One that's already rolled up, and that's just a case of plugging this, take the
04:30 little strap piece, plug it in place. That always seems to stay. Never seems to be
04:35 the case with the gun, though. And then, of course, most Indiana Jones figures tend
04:38 to always come included with an extended version of the whip, and this Indiana
04:42 Jones also has that as well. It's molded in kind of, I guess, what you would call
04:46 it like a light chocolate colored brown, and this again can fit also in his hand,
04:50 or can also fit in this hand also as well. Works either way. I'm doing this, by
04:55 the way, also just to say, just to show you guys, I'm not making this up. It does fit
04:58 into either one of his hands. Those are all the accessories that come
05:01 included with Indiana Jones. Nothing really new necessarily, other than the
05:04 submachine gun. I guess really, Indiana Jones, he doesn't necessarily need to
05:07 come with a whole lot. Getting a closer look at the head sculpt, I'm not sure I
05:11 would say I love the head sculpt. Something certainly seems off about it.
05:15 He seems, first of all, like he's really confused. It could also just be the way
05:20 they've painted it. In a way, it kind of looks like an old Liam Neeson as well.
05:24 One thing I was finding kind of funny about this particular version of Indiana
05:28 Jones is that his hat was poseable, and that you can actually move his hat down,
05:32 up, you can also kind of move it back and forth as well. Just want to make sure
05:35 while you're doing that you're not popping the head off in the process. I kept
05:38 asking myself, well if I can move it back and forth like this, because you can, I
05:42 think out of the packaging it was a little higher than this, but you can't
05:44 actually technically move it further down if you wanted to. I kept asking
05:47 myself, well if I can do that, surely I should be able to even take the fedora
05:52 off. Well you can. What you'll see underneath though is not probably
05:56 something you'll want to see, and that is that the head sculpt, I can actually now
06:01 take this off, the head sculpt actually sits... why am I having such a hard
06:06 time doing this? I was having no real hard... there we go.
06:10 Underneath it, it's a really weird concoction. First of all, you get bald
06:13 Indiana... they didn't even take the time to paint the top. I mean obviously this is a
06:17 paint part of the figure that you'd never really see anyways, but he's got
06:20 this sort of weird handle on the top of him, almost as if somebody would be
06:24 curling Indiana Jones's head across ice. What essentially it is, is it slots in
06:30 place here. I don't know why they would have gone as the route that they did,
06:34 because when you're plugging this back in place, you want to make sure that this
06:36 this area lines up to the groove, plugging it back in. And I guess that's
06:41 supposed to be the thing that gives him the poseability, but wouldn't it have
06:44 just been simply easier to have the fedora removable? I mean then I could
06:49 easily have just moved the fedora further down if I wanted to. I could have
06:51 moved it further up. Why would they have put this weird sort of thing on the top
06:55 of his head? It makes no sense to me. What also doesn't make any sense to me is the
06:59 wear that they've added to the jacket and the hat. It doesn't look as bad on
07:02 the jacket. It looks certainly a lot worse when it comes to the hat
07:06 itself. They've dry brushed a lighter coloring of brown over top of the fedora,
07:10 but I feel like they've added way too much, especially when you look at the
07:14 back of it, and there's no wear at all to the hat to be found. It's only really in
07:18 the front. It's just a really weird place to put it only here and leave the back
07:23 completely clean. Now the jacket has wear, and I like the way they've done this.
07:27 They've worn away the top and the shoulders, and they've worn away a few
07:30 little areas like around the sides of the shoulders here, the bottom of the
07:33 jacket. It has places that natural wear and tear would develop on a jacket, because
07:38 again you're just throwing this thing around. But the hat, I guess specifically,
07:41 Indiana Jones just continues to grab the hat from the front, and maybe he's always
07:45 just correcting it, that the leather has found its way, or whatever material the
07:49 fedora would have been made out of, would have been more only worn away from
07:52 the front. Does that make any sense at all? Apparently it does. So the head
07:55 sculpt is just okay for me. It looks again more like just sad Indiana Jones.
08:00 This guy really should belong in a dial of destiny. I couldn't even think of the name.
08:03 A dial of destiny, than maybe Last Crusade. Maybe you can just see he's so bummed out
08:07 by the idea he's got to spend his days fighting bad guys along with his dad. And
08:12 you know his dad, you know, he's just chasing around ducks all the time. As for
08:16 the rest of the outfit, now this Indiana Jones does have the shirt and tie. I was
08:19 never really a big fan of the fact that Indiana Jones had a tie. I just
08:23 prefer really the shirt myself. But like it is in the movie, he does have himself
08:26 the tie. The tie is actually a separate piece. You can see right there. And then
08:30 he's also got himself the side pack that basically goes over top of it. You'll
08:34 find yourself fiddling around with this frequently, because literally he has like
08:38 the shirt, he has the tie, then he's got the pack over top of that, then he's got
08:42 the jacket over top of that. As the few times where I peel this away, you can kind
08:46 of see he's basically got just brown molded arms underneath. But again, like
08:50 you're really not gonna be seeing it much at all. The thing you're probably
08:52 gonna see a lot though is the fact there's something off about his torso.
08:56 If you have it angled far enough down, it doesn't look as noticeable, I've
09:00 noticed, for at least for me. But if you bring the torso back, it looks like his
09:05 body is detaching from the lower half. Like there's this weird awkwardness
09:09 right here, where it looks like it's a lot longer than it needed to be. Like if
09:13 anything, the waist I feel should have been like right here, instead of all this
09:17 excessive shirt that he has instead. Of course, the lower half of his legs seem
09:22 to be pretty much standard Indiana Jones. So like just recently, in fact, we had a
09:26 look at the last crusade, Indiana Jones will bring him in. It looks to be the
09:29 same use of leg molds. It seems also as well that he used the same belt. And also
09:34 as well, the shoes are identical between the two. Again, I can't fault Hasbro for
09:38 using parts, if they can use them over and over again, if it means we get new
09:41 Indiana Jones. But there's a few little like inconsistencies to this particular
09:45 figure that really make me love it, or really resist me from loving it as much
09:50 as I really should. The biggest one really being the fact that his face just
09:53 seems a little off for my liking. And again, like his shirt, I just don't know.
09:57 It looks a little too long as well. For the figure's articulation, going back to
10:02 his head sculpt here, rotates all the way around via ball joint. It does look up, it
10:06 looks down, and you can also move it back and forth as well. As for the arms, the
10:10 arms come out as most Indiana Jones cases come. I mean, he brings them brings those
10:14 arms out 90 degrees, but again you can rotate them also all the way around. Now
10:18 the figure also has only just a single hinge in the elbow, but always the case,
10:21 it also allows the form to rotate back and forth, and also rotate also all the
10:25 way around. And then when you get to the waist, so essentially like this part, in
10:29 other earlier Indiana Jones, normally where he would have had a shirt, this top
10:33 section would have been its own dedicated ball joint. As I'm kind of
10:36 swiping my fingers across this, and they would add a ball joint down here as well.
10:40 For reasons unknown, because he has a shirt I guess, they decide just to do
10:44 away with the upper torso articulation. So he really only has it down below here.
10:48 But I keep feeling like as I'm moving this figure around, I keep wanting to
10:53 push this guy further down than what he is. And that's as far down as he's gonna
10:57 go. So it's just, yeah, makes no sense. The figure does have, like I said, a ball joint,
11:02 so you can really freely move it around. The legs do split out there once again
11:05 on ball joints. You can take those legs and move forward and move them back. About
11:08 three-quarters of the way up the thigh, there's a swivel cut, so you can rotate
11:11 the leg all the way around. Indy only possesses a single hinge in his knee, but
11:15 allows at least the lower leg to rotate back and forth. And once again, he does
11:18 have the ankle articulation up and down and back and forth this way as well. It's
11:22 not a perfect Indy. I don't think it's a perfect Indy. And I feel like maybe if
11:25 anything, the biggest detriment to this specific review is the fact I
11:29 did look at the last Crusade, not the last Crusade, I looked at the Raiders of the
11:33 Lost, our Cairo Indiana Jones, just prior to actually looking at this one. That
11:37 Cairo Indiana Jones is a far superior Indy. And no, I mean, just to bring him in
11:42 for comparison's sake, I mean, obviously two completely different movie Indys. One
11:46 thing also just about the two is, like, looking at the two figures, like his
11:50 torso, it just draws more attention to the fact, maybe it's just the fact that
11:53 because, like, oh, just because the fact that this Indiana Jones does have the
11:57 shirt that's untucked, maybe it's hiding some of the
12:02 construction maybe for Indiana Jones. That if not for that, maybe I would even
12:06 notice that this one also has a longer torso. But there's something really off
12:10 that's throwing me off when it comes to this particular Indiana Jones. Something
12:14 about the way they've done the shirt just makes me keep feeling like I want
12:17 to push him further together. It's not as good at Indiana Jones, but if that's the
12:21 only Indiana Jones we're gonna get from the last Crusade, then I guess it's gonna
12:24 have to do. Like with Indiana Jones, trying to track down his artifact, he
12:27 always comes across the occasional pitfall. And I feel like on our journey
12:31 to get to the last Crusade and the Cup of Christ, we've hit a bit of a pitfall
12:34 with the last Crusade Indiana Jones. And it shouldn't really be the case. He's the
12:38 main star of this movie, and yet I feel like his figure sort of undelivers a bit.
12:43 A head sculpt that just is passable as an Indiana Jones. A fedora that seems
12:48 heavily weathered for no reasons at all. And he just has like a weird long torso
12:53 for no apparent reasons whatsoever. I would put him a little bit more closer, I
12:57 think, in the Dial of Destiny category of Indiana Jones, and less in the same field
13:02 as maybe like Raiders of Lost Ark, Cairo Indiana Jones. Which set the bar
13:07 unfortunately way too high, and maybe it was a detriment to do the review
13:11 right after that Cairo Indy, because I already had the expectation pretty high
13:14 after looking at that figure, that this Indiana comes up a little bit short.
13:18 Short on also accessories too, other than really the submachine gun. Indiana Jones
13:23 is basically plagued with the same accessories as packed with all the other
13:26 Indies. And that may not necessarily be a bad thing. I mean anybody who just wants
13:29 a whip with Indiana Jones gets two, and he also gets his trusty
13:33 pistol as well. If anything he gets one extra gun. I guess that's not bad. But why
13:38 did they have to attach the fedora the way that they did? They attached it in
13:42 such a way that it gives them articulation. But if you're gonna be
13:46 making the effort to do that, wouldn't it have just been easier to have a
13:49 removable hat in the first place? I know it means he would have had a hat head
13:54 underneath the hat. But at the very least, I mean why give him this weird looking
13:58 thing he's got on the top of his head? And it draws even more to the fact that
14:01 they only painted the sides of his hair. Oh Indiana Jones, you should never have
14:05 your hat removed. But what do you guys think of the figure? Let me know down
14:08 below in the comment section. And have you been collecting any of the artifact
14:12 waves? Whether it be this one, whether it be the arc wave we looked at from Raiders
14:15 of the Lost Ark earlier than that. It was also the stone artifacts from Temple of
14:20 Doom. Of course we're only just now starting the reviews here of the Temple
14:23 of the Last Crusade. I'm not talking about Temple of Doom, the Last Crusade
14:26 artifact wave. So we only really have to have a planner's pot to start our
14:30 journeys with. Of course that will be progressing as we look at the rest of
14:33 the figures. Not only from Last Crusade, but there unfortunately I say as well
14:38 the Dial of Destiny, who has really no place at all in an artifact wave. Where
14:42 are you building the Cup of Christ? Why are we dealing with the Dial of Destiny
14:45 characters? They should have been in their own standalone reviews. They should
14:48 have been in their standalone waves. I'm sure I'm gonna be talking and in
14:52 abundance of that as we have a look at the rest of the figures from this wave.
