It’s kinda tough to get kids into action blockbusters like Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Yeah right. More likely, it’s kinda tough to get parents to swing cold hard cash for toys based on movies which, admittedly are a tad violent. So, Hasbro has softened these action toys with a new line of Adventure Heroes, specifically designed for smaller kids who may enjoy the action, but don’t get the violence, just yet.
Originally launched with Star Wars as Galactic Heroes, Hasbro expanded the line with the eye towards the 4th blockbuster in the Indiana Jones Trilogy – Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Now, they’re going back to the classic trilogy with this set from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
The Pack, second in the series, includes our heroes Indy and Henry Jones, plus the love interest turned bad Else, and the a set of Nazi bad guys. There’s even the grail knight who warns not to take the grail past the seal. As looking as if they were based on a Saturday morning TV serial, rather than a series of PG13 adventure epics. And that’s what make them fun as these toys will make fans of these kids even before they know what a Lost Arc is.
