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.

Or how about the 1:24 diecast version of an M&M's/Indiana Jones styled Nascar?

If adventure needs a snack, M&M's might be a good idea.
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 like Al Capone's vault.
CASTLE
Oh, no. Think of all the amazing things that are found in storage units at times like this. (fake German accent) Ark of the Covenant, Dr. Jones.
[Castle strikes a pose and Beckett lifts the door. A single small crate is at the back.]
CASTLE (cont'd)
Well, the Ark of the Covenant was in a crate.
Ooh, what's in the crate?
episode „To Love and Die in L.A.“ (season 3, episode 22):
[INT. CASTLE'S SUITE - MORNING] CASTLE Wow. Somebody's up early. BECKETT Hey. CASTLE What? Did you pack a murder board? BECKETT Concierge. Called down, and then ten minutes later, voilà. CASTLE Ah, Maurice is amazing, isn't he? I bet if I ordered the Ark of the Covenant, he'd come through. BECKETT Wouldn't you be afraid to open it? CASTLE No. It only melts Nazis.
And now let's order that Ark of the Covenant...
The fans of both Richard Castle and Indiana Jones seem to have fun with all the references. Here is an hilarious fan trailer for Castle with an Indy touch: "Indiana Castle"
Throw me the idol, I throw you the vacuum cup...
Now for season 4 they should give Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) some Marion Ravenwood scenes :-)
This is not exactly Indiana Jones related but you do not want to miss to see what Harrison Ford does to a smurf after the smurfs movie did nearly beat Ford's new film Cowboys & Aliens on the first weekend in cinema:
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. If adventure has a name, it should be printed on your shirt!
shirt stats:
type: t-shirt
color: beige
front: Indiana Jones logo, fedora and whip in green/olive color
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 Indiana Jones Adventure Temple of the Crystal Skull; design shows one big ball of fire with the crystal skull at the center shooting blue rays; bi-plane and modified Jeep
back: Indiana Jones Adventure Temple of the Crystal Skull logo
