Hasbro Makes New Indiana Jones Toys with Release of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

With the release later this month of the new Indiana Jones movie, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Hasbro has jumped on the bandwagon and produced some cool Indiana Jones toys.

Here are some of the toys that you and your family might find fun:

Indiana Jones Taters of the Lost Ark

Mr. Potato Head adopts his new role as Indiana Jones. Just like our 'real-life' hero he wears a 'leather' jacket, carries a whip and sports the 'must have' fedora. The real fun thing with Mr. Potato Head Taters of the lost Ark is that when you place the fedora on his head is plays the Raider's March. How cool is that?

The Lost Temple of Akator Playset

For any child wishing to recreate the Indian Jones scenes in the movie, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this is a must. The word playset doesn't quite conjure up the excitement of this particular toy. As your children move their Indiana Jones action figures through the maze of boulders and quicksand, they will find all sorts of hidden traps and hazards that need avoiding. In this playset there are two action figures, Indiana Jones (naturally) and Ugha the warrior.

Indiana Jones Sound FX Whip

This one is great. With the Indiana Sound FX Whip your children will really be able to pretend that they are Indiana Jones. When played with this toy makes realistic whip cracking sounds that can only give any child fun and the feeling of excitement, especially if they have just watched the movie. But, not only does the whip sound like a whip it also plays the theme tune from Raiders of the lost Ark.

Mutt Williams Sound FX Sword

Hasbro has not forgotten Indiana Jones sidekick, Mutt Williams, who appears in the new movie, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Mutt Williams carries a sword and this sword has been reproduced for the children. Concealed within the sword are two extra pretend knives. And to add to the fun and excitement this toy does come with sound effects.
