These new 3.75" reveals this week were never made in the Kenner line. Nothing reissued about them. Those of us who collected the vintage Kenner line love this unexpected expansion of it. I never in 40 years thought we'd get new figures that fit perfectly with the 1982 figures. Modern TVC style Indy figures had their time in 2008-2009 and Hasbro made almost every key figure back then. Sure I'd love several more new TVC style Indy figures to add onto the 2008 line, but if Hasbro is willing to take a chance on ANY 3.75" line right now, I think it's amazing they are doing a Kenner tribute line, let alone doing all new figures for it -- something we keep hoping they'd do for Kenner Star Wars, and so far in 4 years all they've done is Tarkin and a laughably inaccurate awful looking Snowspeeder Luke.

That said, I'm surprised the Temple of Doom set was limited to just 2 figures and they didn't at least give us Mola Ram. The lack of Willie or Elsa figures is concerning too, and I hope Hasbro isn't going all McFarlane here with the belief that female figures aren't worth doing. I'm also disappointed that Temple of Doom Indy is missing his satchel and a Sankara stone accessory.

As for the new 6" reveals, Kazim is a shocking deep cut release I NEVER expected them to do. It suggests a surprising confidence in the longevity of the 6" line if they are doing characters like him. I'm still worried the line will end after this year once the film has come and gone, just like with the Ghostbusters Plasma line. It would suck if we don't get the rest of the main casts before then. I definitely would be pissed in the long run that we got Kazim and never an Elsa figure. And we need Mola Ram and Willie too!
