Vintage Indiana Jones

IMJ · Post by **IMJ** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 2:21 pm

Anyone else into these (or the new stuff for that matter)? The vintage stuff sells for a fortune most of the time. A loose, complete vintage Indy in great condition might set you back a bill!

Definitely a cool set to put together. A MOC set might be a ludicrous hobby though for the prices.

A seller on ebay "onetofivedayauctions" usually sells nice condition jones and star wars figures. But like you said, they are quite expensive as are the playsets.

So I've been reorganizing my office a bit, and I felt that my Indy collection should be in here as opposed to the area I've dedicated to my Iron Man collection.

Here's the deal - I've got more Indy stuff than I'm capable of displaying. I decide to allocate a small, finite section of wall to Indiana Jones, and that's that. What fits, fits. What doesn't won't get displayed. That brings me to how I'm going to organize, and I thought I'd go to my fellow Raveners for some thoughts.

I'm going to fit what I can in the square area you see in the picture here...

Now the trick is what do I use the square area above the figure case for. My original plan was to put a shelf there that would hold the DVD case from Blockbuster, along with a few of the premium or scarce 12" figs (i.e., Hasbro German Indy, and the Sideshow Henry Sr., Raiders Indy and the KOTCS Indy probably).

However, I've got another case identical to the one on the wall. I could hang that and maybe get the entire Kenner and Hasbro collection in there instead. But if I do that, it's a little dry, where the 12" stuff and the cool DVD case would create some diversity.

Thoughts?

Thanks, man. Hopefully it'll be cooler when I figure out what to put above the figure case... another identical figure case, or a shelf for some random stuff.

LMAO!!!
Aquaman!??!?!

That's the German Mechanic, man!! Indy and he slug it out under the flying wing in Raiders! Pat Roach (the actor) later appears as the giant thuggee in TOD and then again as a German officer who approaches the Zeppelin in Crusade.

Aquaman.

-scoff-

Please.

Finished.

I've got a lot more Indiana Jones stuff than this, but as I said earlier: pre-defined space. It's really hard not to add another case, or find a way to get more stuff out (like the entire vintage collection, playsets, vehicles, etc). But this way it's a concise and casual collection that's not overwhelming, and neat for anyone to look at.

Nice collection. The 12 inch figures are really cool.

They make Indiana Jones figures alot better now than they did when I was a kid. I remember the clunky LJN "Temple of Doom" figures. oof! Those were a disapointment compared to the earlier Kenner Indy toys. "No time for luv Docta Jones!"

I remember the vintage "Well of Souls" playset had those little plastic snakes and torches.

Very fun series that was. agh! must look away or I might start ebay-ing my childhood and spend more money......

Yeah, I could so easily collect the Kenner Raiders figures, etc.

Now is the time! It's an incredibly finite and charming collection, and prices are very reasonable! I've got a lot of extra Indy stuff that I'm sitting on hoping for a new movie because if I sold my vintage doubles now I'd get creamed on 'em.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m in transition mode between finishing grad school and looking for a job so this isn’t a good time for me to start something new. However, maybe after a few months...

Dude. If you actually think this is a lot of stuff, then you should see my Iron Man collection. Not that I've done myself a service by saying this, but... yeah.

Say where did you get those cool plastic case figure holders (wall mountable I see) ???

I would love to get a few of those for my Vintage Star Wars collection. Are they UV protection proof ?
