Is there be a better way to promote the upcoming third Uncharted game for the PS3 than to let Indiana Jones himself play the adventure game? I guess not. The hard working marketing department from Naughty Dog, the game company responsible for the award winning Uncharted game series, pulled of the marketing hat-trick and got Harrison Ford for their Japanese Uncharted commercial. The 30 second

I am still amazed when I find some new Indy merchandise that I have never heard of and that I have never imagined. My latest discovery in the Indyverse: M&M's go well with Indiana Jones. Time for a tea or a coffee? There's an M&M Indiana Jones mug available with a quite nice comic design of Red as Indy. M&M's Indiana Jones mug with Red Jones Or how about the 1:24 diecast version of an M&M's/

Remember when Nathan Fillion did that Indiana Jones-esque scenen in season 2 of Castle? Well it seems he (and the audience) liked that a lot. In the third season of the crime show Castle the protagonist Richard Castle does talk a lot about the Ark of the Covenant. episode „Setup“ (season 3, episode 16): CASTLE Which it is. What do you think's in there? BECKETT I don't know. Might be empty

A shirt to rule them all! Oh, I meant a 30th shirt to finish the anniversary tribute! For the last day I saved a very plain shirt with just the logo and the iconic fedora and whip. Thanks everyone who is interested in this. Keep enjoying the adventures of Indiana Jones.

  Another amazing Temple of the Crystal Skull ride t-shirt. Instead of just a print on a mono color shirt this shirt has it all: batik yellow body with the contrasting brown sleeves, full body size print on the front and a small print on the back - not much more can be put on a single shirt. shirt stats:type: t-shirt color: yellow with brown sleeves and neck front: "Ball of Fire" design for the

Time to check Dr. Jones' stats - with this slightly weird shirt. It lists all kind of well known info about Indy. For example his fiercest foe "Rane Belloq" the famous misspelled Frenchman. Plus there are lots of semicolons that might have a hidden meaning (or not). shirt stats:type: t-shirt color: gray front: Indiana Jones' stats (with typos as printed): BIRTH NAME ; Henry Jones Jr OCCUPATION

Only few more shirts to wear and I am reaching the latest story from Indy's adventures: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Some like it, some hate it, I am somewhere in the middle. I am happy they made it despite some silly decisions. The t-shirt is another Japan exclusive featuring the skull and the giant ants. And for the Raiders anniversary: Jock's biplane, the best getaway vehicle. shirt stats:

Found one more Last Crusade shirt in the stack. This is a plain white shirt with a Last Crusade print. The design does look a bit cheap at the first glance but it shows some nice details on a closer look. The design might have looked better on some colored shirt. Time to remember the anniversary: I am holding a piece of Raiders film strip. Nice collectible. shirt stats:type: t-shirt color:

Another shirt pick to brighten up a rainy Monday. This is an official ride t-shirt from the Temple of the Crystal Skull ride in the Tokyo DisneySea park. The Japanese version of the Temple of the Forbidden Eye ride had an Crystal Skull right from the start, years before the fourth film adventure happened. Their skull is not inter-dimensional, though, it just looks like a human skull - just

Not much to say about this Sunday's shirt pick. This is a hand-painted Fate of Atlantis shirt that I got from a friend for my birthday ages ago. I am still treasuring this little artifact of mine as I really like the design.

Another shirt with a nice Raiders theme, so a perfect choice for the Raiders anniversary. I like the idea of the design: It forms the letters "JONES" using a picture from Raiders. It's the famous sunset over the Egypt dessert with silhouettes of Indy and the diggers.

LEGO play time! Indy's LEGO adventures have been the best Indy gaming experience in years. The two games make you forget the sometimes not so perfect game play of the last "real" Indiana Jones adventure games. LEGO Indy also brought back the humor that makes a game an entertaining experience. The shirt is so far the only LEGO Indy shirt I saw available in adult sizes. I saw some more designs

This shirt is from the same set as shirt no. 13. It features the same kind of rubber relief tire prints as background design that gives the shirt an overall nice look. The picture is a bit weird because at the first glance it is just a shot from Last Crusade but on a closer looks it's two shots from Last Crusade merged together. Add to that the Raiders quote "It's not the years... it's the

The unexpected return of the Indiana Jones shirts! The subtle shirt of the day is a very meta Club OBIWAN shirt. The logo is inspired by the night club Indy starts his Temple of Doom adventure in. The name of the club was of course one of the Star Wars references that have been put into the Indiana Jones films. Not many recognized the shirt today as an Indy shirt but those who did got a smile

It's a bit rainy again, so another long sleeve shirt today. The basic print - just a picture and a logo - comes with a strong pre-aged look to make the shirt vintage.

Did I forget to wear an Indiana Jone shirt today? This was the question I heard most often today. This Japanese shirt with half length arms and a round cut bottom is for sure not the average Indy shirt to get. The print on the front is no give away that the wearer is going for fortune and glory. Only a tiny print on the back below the neck spells it out: "Indiana Jones". shirt stats:type:

The shirt I am wearing today is from the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular in the MGM studios, Florida. This Indiana Jones theme park attraction is an awesome show with professional stuntmen showing off their skills in three classic scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark. First comes Indy's South American temple experience including a boulder run. Second there is lots of fun and action going on

15th day, half time through the shirts! Today's shirt comes with a high quality print not only in full color but also with a lot of gold metallic color. The print makes good use of the golden color for the Ark, the Golden Idol, the inside of the Holy Grail and for the borders of the antique-style map. I really like this shirt.

Part two of the t-shirt trilogy set that I got from the MGM Studios in 2005: A classic basic t-shirt with the film poster print of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Finally, June the 13th! For the anniversary day I chose a Raiders of the Lost Ark shirt with one of my favorite quotes. It had to be a snake, of course. Lucky me, fierce ninja cat helped me win the fight. I hope you all have a nice anniversary day yourself, maybe watching some Raiders.

One day before the anniversary I am wearing another Raiders of the Lost Ark t-shirt. This one features a nice collage of Scenes from Raiders. To my knowledge this is the only shirt to feature a melting Toht with his famous "oops, I think I am working for the wrong side" facial impression. The use of colors (yellow, brown, gray, black) for the print is nicely done, I only wish they had done a bit

I pulled another Indy ride t-shirt from the drawer today: Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, the very popular and amazing Indy ride located in Disneyland, California. That's the one ride I have never been to. I found the shirt for sale in Disneyland Paris instead. Now this shirt is really great but also nearly unwearable for me.

The sun is back and so am I - with a Raiders shirt and the Golden Idol of Fertility safely tucked in my satchel bag.

Change of plan: Again no Raiders shirt today because the long sleeve looked so much more appealing to the sound of the falling rain this morning. The shirt is another nice piece I brought back from my travels to Japan. One must admit that they really know how to make nice Indy shirts there.

Looking for a weird Wii-mote container? Forget your Mario Kart wheel, D&D sword and shield and all the sports accessories for Wii sports.

A small break from the Raiders-themed t-shirts this week. The shirt shows Indy whip-swinging some obstacle. The Cobra and temple at the bottom are hinting that this is a theme park design, either from the French ride "Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril" or the "Temple of the Forbidden Eye" ride in California; I can't tell for sure. Anyway, I had more people ask me about the shirts and got them

Another t-shirt honoring Raiders in a witty way. From the front this looks very casual, just a brown shirt with a small print. Taking a closer look, the print reveals itself as the Headpiece of Ra with a catchy slogan written over it. Still, the front of the t-shirt does not bear any reference to Indy that a regular person would get. But turn the shirt around and you will have a Raiders of the

One week to the anniversary day, it's time to get out the Raiders of the Lost Ark shirts. The Monday pick is the classic basic t-shirt with the film poster print. I got me a complete trilogy set of these shirts when we were visiting the MGM Studios in 2005. The reason for the shopping frenzy was that the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular was closed for the whole day because some of some

The other week I stumbled on the net over something that missed my eye for seven years. In 2004 Dark Horse Comics published a short story in Star Wars Tales #19 named "Into the Great Unknown". Thanks to a friend I was able to get my hands on this. The comic tells an alternative story of what happens to Han Solo and Chewbacca after a blind hyperspace jump. The story gets an interesting twist with

The most prominent colors for Indy shirts are brown, beige and green tone - not counting plain black or white shirts with prints. Today's shirt is a noticeable exception: The dark orange batik is not only stylish, it has also been carefully matched with the print. The print is hard to spot on purpose, the shirt is not washed out. This is a perfect shirt to wear any day without making anyone

It's a sunny Saturday and I have chosen the oldest Indy t-shirt from my collection. I had the luck to spend my 1993 Easter vacation in France and payed a visit to the still new Disneyland Paris. This was only days after the ride "Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril" was opened to the public. And what a ride that was: First Indy attraction in Europe, first Indiana Jones roller coaster ever, first

Finally a sunny day and I am sporting a t-shirt with prints on both the front and the back. I like the plain and basic style of this shirt. Got it after attending a friends wedding in Japan in 2009. Received no questions about this shirt but then again most people took a short vacation because of the public holiday yesterday. shirt stats:type: t-shirt color: olive green front: print with Indy

So the truth about what has happened to George Lucas in the last 20 years is finally revealed. I wonder about the reactions at the Skywalker Ranch when they first saw this ;-) Stumbled over it here.

Another day, another shirt, same guy. Again a cloudy day, so I picked again a shirt with long sleeves. This brown shirt comes from a trip to France and sports a small logo of the French Indy ride. Today is a public holiday here and I stayed at home, so no one got the chance to ask about the shirt. shirt stats:type: cotton shirt color: medium brown front: embroidered logo "Indiana Jones et le

First day, first shirt. Giving it a casual start with a nice long sleeve that fitted the cloudy day. Found first flaw in the plan: I am taking the photo in the morning before I leave for work. This means I am still half asleep and make weird faces... Anyway, had three people asking me about the shirt and Indy today. shirt stats:type: long sleeve shirt color: medium gray front: white print of

30 years ago, on June 12th 1981, a new film was released in the US. People liked it a lot - and still do. Happy anniversary Raiders of the Lost Ark! As a small tribute to this screen gem and all the people involved in making it happen, I will be wearing selected shirts from my Indy collection for 30 days starting from June 1st. I hope this will remind some of the people seeing me of the greatest

I usually try not to mix up real life events with my hobby - Indiana Jones. Indy's films, books, games and merchandise are entertainment. Exciting, funny and sometimes informative - but never sad. Real life brings tragedies like the earthquake in Japan in March 2011 that cost so many peoples lifes. This makes me sad as Japan is a special place for me. I have been there several times in the last

A nice to have for Indy toy collectors are the Japanese Kotobukiya one coin mini figures from their Indiana Jones collection (released June 2008). You could buy those for 500 Yen (= one coin) per sealed box with a random figure. The set contains eight figures: six regular ones and two secret ones.

Seems I got really stuck in tv shows that did an Indy themed episode. This week Nathan Fillion made my day by delivering a very Indiana Jones-ish scene in Castle season 2 episode 19. Take a look: Nathan Fillion wants to be Indiana Jones - and meets the Mummy's Curse Castle is a tv show about the author Richard Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) "helping" out the NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (

Collecting Indiana Jones goodies is an adventure that leads to great discoveries now and then. One of my latest extraordinary findings was a children puzzle book titled "Young Indiana Jones in the Curse of the Kah" by author Owen Williams and illustrated by Paddy Mounter. This "Hippo Mystery?Puzzles" book was printed in 1993 by Scholastic. The 32 pages are in full comic illustration, which makes

Indiana Jones references are very trendy now. At least it looks like it as every popular TV show seems to have an Indy episode nowadays. And that's a good thing. Heck, I would not mind if they have an Indy episode every other week c|:) Not long ago I posted about a Big Bang Theory episode, this time it is a How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) episode from 2008. Episode 1 of season 5 of this sitcom

I have been visiting a conference in Munich again this year. Last year at the same conference I found a LEGO flagship store in my spare time and made some awesome discoveries that I had to buy. I returned to the store this year with high hopes of finding more lost Indy treasures. Sadly my trip was not fruitful. The time for Indy related goodies from LEGO is definitely over again. There was not a

Over the years I have collected a good pile of Indy tee shirts (plus some shirts and sweaters). I usually buy me a couple of new ones whenever I am in a Disney Park. It's an odd hobby as I have more than I can wear without making people think I am a little obsessed. So after wearing 31 different Indy tees for the whole month of May in 2008 to celebrate the long awaited return of Indy to the big

This might be old news for anyone in the US but I justsaw episode 8 of the current (4th) season of Big Bang Theory. This episode was aired in November and I am a little behind on watching the episodes. In case you don't know the series, Big Bang Theory is a sitcom about a group of geeks and their fandoms. They have covered a lot of fandoms already but in this episode Dr. Jones' adventures are in

Hopefully the new year will bring good Indiana Jones news and maybe a confirmation for Indy 5.In case you wondered where I have been in the last eight months: I went on a small adventure of my own traveling to some small islands in the South Pacific.

Now and then I stumble over something really amazing on the net. This time the Indy-treasure stumbled over me - again. Dale Dassel, an old Indy friend of mine, stumbled over IJC.at. More than 10 years ago we were chatting about Fate of Atlantis, not knowing that a decade later Indy would return to the big screen. It was a fun time, the net was much smaller, not much Indy stuff was floating around

My First Adventure - Tangiers, May 1908Indy's second adventure is a direct-to-video episode that was shown on TV. Family Jones travels from Egypt to Morocco where Indy gets a bitter taste of real life. The theme of this episode is rather dark, exposing Indy to the concept of slavery and the horrors of child slavery. I honestly do not think that the episode could have been aired on US television

This years holidays lead me again to the incredible islands of Japan. It's not that I plan to go there again and again, circumstances just force me ;-) This time we have attended the wedding of close friends (best wished to them!). While in Japan we traveled around to interesting spots including the lovely Iriomote island, a nearly sub-tropical island 3000 km south of Tokyo with rain forests,

I was just looking for the 2009 LEGO sets that seem to got canceled (or has someone seen them?). Anyway, I found something else on the LEGO website: LEGO Indiana Jones Adventures - the free flash game. Now I am not easy to impressed but this game is really nice. It brings back some real jump'n'run feeling that reminded me of the Indy SNES Adventures. Pick up your hat and check it out!

We watched Fanboys on the weekend. The film is the story of some fanboys that go on a road trip to make their childhood dream come true - to break into the Skywalker Ranch to see an early copy of Episode 1 few month before the official release. The trailer promises a bit more than the film delivers but the film still brings good laughters, nice cameos and nerdy fun-trivia. Now, why do a write

You might have heard about the upcoming Indy game Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. But have you ever heard about the game tie-in novel written by veteran Indy author Rob MacGregor? It got canceled recently and now an online petition was started to get it published after all. It's just a few clicks, so if you have some time and want a good Indy read get published:http://www.PetitionOnline.com

They are out for some weeks now and I somehow missed their release - but now I got my hands on some fresh new novels, the Scholastic books. Those are "only" young adult books but that's still better than no Indy read at all. The series needs a good name and the Scholastic books lack any form of common name. The UK edition does have a series title, though: Untold Adventures. That's quite a catchy

When I was walking through a shopping district the other day a certain hat caught my eye when I passed a millinery:I have not known that a German manufacturer had bought a license to sell a fedora. The hat does not look bad, from what I saw it resembles the Disney fedora I bought in Tokyo DisneySea six or seven years ago (incl. the "Indiana Jones" pin on the ribbon. The companies name is "Mayser"

But I am back with interesting and odd info on Indy goodies.One of the harder to get LEGO sets this year is the BrickMaster Jungle Cruiser exclusive set 20004 featuring Indy in a Jeep.If you don't have access to those exclusive sets there is another way to get this gem into your collection: Shop the 83 pieces separately and build your own!

Here is a great night view of Tokyo Tower.One place I have to visit every time is DisneySea, the second Disney park.

It's always a special moment when a collector gets the last piece to complete a set. This weekend thanks to Günther I was able to obtain the last of the three original French Young Indy novels written by Richard Beugné (or even better the last of the seven original French Young Indy novels written in total).

Same text and numbers. The figure itself should be identical except that the right one is better painted and the colors are a bit different.Addon: I just added a Hasbro toy QuickGuide.

With the KotCS release we will also get a bunch of new Indy games. One I have not read about yet is the KotCS game for mobile phones. Looks like a nice jump & run with whip action. Here is a link to a preview article in German (if you can't read it, there are some screenshots): http://www.consol.at/content/view/12282/62/

A very nice Indy 4 TV spot is available here. Few new scenes but better cut and an overall even better feeling than the first trailer.
