Toht’s coming to Sideshow Collectibles
Posted by dominic in General, News on November 27th, 2008
After the disappointing Star Wars Prequel Trilogy I had very little hope when I heard that Lucas and his team of yes men were going ahead with a new Indiana Jones movie. However, I was certain the new film would accomplish one thing if nothing more, the release of new action-figures from the original three films. Fans have been salivating for quality figures for over twenty-five years and now would be the time to re-create all our favorite scenes.
Yet, as mainstream toy interest in Indiana Jones wanes, Sideshow Collectables can still be counted on to bring us the 1/6th scaled figures we want.
Having dwelt with Hasbro’s horrible distribution-or lack there of- of their 3 ¾ line, and the impending death of said line, it’s nice to see that some companies aren’t giving up on the fans of one of the most loved trilogies-I don’t count Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and I hope you don’t either-of film history.
Sideshow’s third release in their Indiana Jones 12-inch line is Toht. Features include:
• 12-inch Prometheus male body with 30+ points of articulation
• Authentic likeness of Ronald Lacey as Major Arnold Ernst Toht
• Shirt
• Pants
• Tie
• Jacket
• Trench coat with belt
• Shoes
• Hat
• Glasses
• Switch-out melted portrait
• Interchangeable gloved and ungloved hands
• Interchangeable right hand with medallion burn
• Luger pistol
• Hot Poker
• Collapsible coat hanger w/ chain
• Display base with Indiana Jones logo
• Sideshow Exclusive: Polystone Ark of the Covenant accessory
Yes that last part is true. The exclusive Toht comes with the Ark of the Covenant! But it’s not cheap. The exclusive will suck $170 from your bank account and that’s before shipping and taxes. The regular addition is a little bit more affordable at $99. However, one does need an Ark, don’t you think? Click over to Sideshow and check it out.
Also, Cool Toy Review has posted new pictures of Hot Toys upcoming 1/6th scaled Hellboy and Ape Sapien from Hellboy II. So check those out as well, tis the season after all.
Happy Thanksgiving you crazy kids.
