In our hunt for fortune and glory, we have discovered a few code names tied to Hasbro products for the Indiana Jones franchise. These codes are not from one particular assortment/scale as the prices range from $22.99-$50.99. If I were the adventurous type, I’d guess that these are mostly of the 6″ variety with a couple role play items as well.
Let us know if Indiana Jones product are something you’d like for us to continue to cover as some should be making their debut next week at Hasbro Pulse Con.
Walmart.com has updated their site with new graphic for their Collector Con on October 6 and you can just barely make out the silhoutte of the halloween-themed Black Series “Were-Wookiee” that debuted at SDCC this past July.
