You know, I should have titled this review "Indiana Jones and the Impossible Finish". I started this a week ago Sunday, and have face inumberable delays in getting it done. Computer issues, work issues, camera issues. But, I prevailed.

So here we go! This review if for the Temple Trap Indiana Jones. It's one of the deluxe figures take from the Fertility Idol scene. I normally say "Check out the usual thoughts and pics here:", but I have to warn you. I was bit wordy with this one. Some of the pictures are a bit bigger than my normal ones, as well.

For some reason, on all the Indy figures I've seen so far, including this one, the straight-on angle is its worst one. Granted, the only one I think that actually captures Indy's look is the Cairo whip-crackin' Indy, but even still, it has to be a quarter-angle to work. Mine doesn't have the stained shirt.

Also, I think the thick eyebrows are another thing that's throwing off the figure, I'm going to take mine down by about half with a nail file one of these days.

But yeah, that head is pretty far off, so is the basic figure version.

For Nepal, in the scene, Indy's gun changes from revolver to pistol, back and forth, from shot to shot, it's a continuity error. The revolver Hasbro includes here is the one they have on all the figs, that barrel is too long.

Anyway, nice review, I think the score may be a little generous tho'. Oh, and the faces on the floor, that's the face from outside the temple that scares one of the guides off. It actually does appear again in the idol room, but much much smaller and ringing the walls.
