Over the years I’ve seen some weird product tie-ins to films and wondered what the thinking behind them, especially figurines and statues. I’m having some trouble thinking of one now and I’m sure someone in the comments can suggest some (the ridiculous Mary Jane washing Spider-Man’s clothes does comes to mind).
Now funny enough from the same company Sideshow Collectibles we have the new Indiana Jones collectible figurine with nuclear explosion proof refrigerator accessory.
I’m the last person to judge what some one else considers to be a collectible, if you’re really into something then you’ll possibly buy anything associated with it. But of all the scenes to choose to make a collectible out of?!
It’s like salt in the wounds, the only way it could get worse is the Mutt swinging through the trees diorama or motion activated gophers that hum the Indiana Jones theme music.
I mean don’t get me wrong I can’t fault the company for bringing these out, just look at what else they released:
Awesome.

the washing Mary Jane ís sold out though…but she doesn't look that much related to the Mary Jane in the movies with this 'look at how hot I am pose'.
The fridge and the hulkbuster are just silly.
I can't believe they made this.
Was this toy released after the movie? If so, then I'd say someone at LucasArts is f'ing with the fans. I don't see any child asking for an over the hill Indy emerging from a Nuked-out refrigerator . It has to be Lucas thumbing his nose at the critics.
