Hasbro Reveals Where the Crystal Skulls are in INDIANA JONES and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Yesterday I posted an article detailing what toys Hasbro was planning on releasing for the upcoming movie “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” I also wrote how this weekend is Toy Fair in New York City, and that all weekend long I’d be posting new images as they get released. Well, I just got some new images from the upcoming toy line and one has a bit of spoilers in it.
During the last few weeks, many images from the upcoming Indy movie have been released. Most have been sent out from the studio, but a few have caused some problems as they’ve been close-up shots of the “Crystal Skulls” that will be in the film. Of course, as each image landed online, Paramount has been quick to get it taken down. However, the image below is an official release from Hasbro, and it’s not going anywhere.
If you don’t want to see or learn any spoilers, it’s time to move along….
However, if you’re curious where some of the Crystal Skulls might be and how Indy has to battle his biggest enemy, here’s an image of a Deluxe Indy figure from “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” As you can see, it kind of lets us know a lot of details.

And then when you look at the image of the Lost Temple of Akator Playset, you’ll see that the right side has what looks like the same tree with his whip attached. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to put it all together. Also notice the playset comes with two decent sized boulders. Perhaps the temple will have an homage to Raiders…

Besides these two images, I’ve also gotten a few of the upcoming figures, with a lot more coming to me later today. So if you’re curious about the Indy toys, check back this weekend for more.
And in case you missed it, below the new images is everything Hasbro is planning on making. The first wave of Indy toys hits stores on May 1st, the second wave will most likely hit on or around the DVD release.
