With Toy Fair starting in New York City tomorrow, the toy makers are starting to release info and images about their upcoming toy lines. One of the big lines that will be arriving on May 1^st is “Indiana Jones.”

While toys were made featuring Dr. Jones back in the early 80’s, the line never took off and collectors have been paying premium prices to own a piece of plastic featuring the iconic character.

But thanks to the new movie, Hasbro is launching a full fledged assault on toy shelves this May. And while I don’t have all the images yet for what’s coming, I do have the list of products and I have the first image of Indiana Jones Mr. Potato Head!

Sometime tomorrow I’ll be getting images for all the toys that are listed below, so until then, take a look at the list and use your imagination. For me, the highlight is Hasbro finally giving a number to the amount of action figures being made, with 30 figures coming and they’re based on all 4 movies.
