Calling all Indiana Jones fans! Brand-new Indiana Jones-inspired merchandise is heading to Disney Parks and shopDisney!
First, and most importantly, the outfit. Get your own beige safari-style shirt and leather jacket inspired by everyone’s favorite archaeology professor. Complete the look with a fedora and make sure you have a bag ready to collect artifacts!
Next up, the artifacts! You can soon bring home your very own ancient artifact collectibles based on props from the movies including the Sankara Stone, the Fertility Idol, the Crystal Skull, and even the Holy Grail.
Creating these collectible versions of some of Indy’s greatest discoveries was an adventure in itself. “To make sure these items were as authentic as possible, we reviewed the film props from the Lucasfilm Archives to study size, reference details, capture 3D scans, and more in order to recreate them into collectible items,” said Cody Hampton, Senior Manager, Brand Merchandising. “We also try to anticipate features that fans would expect from these replicas, so we added a light-up feature to the Sankara Stone, as well as the Crystal Skull.”
Each collectible has unique packaging, including the backstory of the item from the Indiana Jones movies, as well as the backstory on the real-world artifact it was based on. “Bringing this collection to the fans has been a treat for us, and we are so excited for our guests to be able to add these discoveries to their own collections,” said Cody.
These artifact collectibles are coming soon to both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort and will be available for pre-order on shopDisney.com beginning June 24.
But wait, there’s more! We also have a first look at two new items coming later this Fall – a Staff of Ra Headpiece collectible inspired by “Raiders Of The Lost Ark,” and an Indiana Jones doll and pin set inspired by “Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom.”
