Indiana Mickey and Adventure Kermit

Indiana Mickey

and

Adventure Kermit

Disney Parks exclusive/Palisades Toys

Outside of Mutt Williams puzzles and overproduced copies of The Last Crusade, finding Indiana Jones stuff is pretty rare out and about at flea markets and second-hand stores.  That's not really a complaint, as it makes finding a diamond in the rough that much more special and it's a collection that doesn't get that out of hand like some others.  Every once in a while, I hit Ebay for some pieces I missed or were not readily available to me at the time of their release.

Indiana Mickey was a Disney Parks exclusive so, living in Missouri, it's quite a drive to the nearest Adventure Outpost (1,100 miles and some change).  He is close to the 3 3/4 inch scale like the Kenner/Hasbro Indy or Star Wars

lines.

He only has 4 points of articulation: swivel head, arms, and waist.  Not the most posable of figures, but animated characters don't usually lend themselves to action figure articulation easily.  Sure beats a plain bendable figure at least.

I got one sealed on card as a display piece and a loose incomplete one to play with.  Missing out on the whip (and idol) that came with the packaged one, I gave him a spare from one of my many Indy figures.  These are pretty inexpensive on Ebay, ranging from $8-12 plus shipping.  I think I snagged the loose one for just a couple of bucks.

Adventure Kermit was a traveling convention exclusive from around 2004.  This was well after Disney had enslaved bought the Muppets, but well before they enslaved bought Indiana Jones.  So you won't find any official Indy logos or branding on the packaging, only a reference on the back to make sure they could get away with something like this under the guise of loving parody.

His hat sticks to his head with magnets and he comes with a whip, a gun, and Golden Gonzo idol.

He is close to 5-inches tall and has multiple points of articulation: swivel head, jointed shoulders, hinged elbows, swivel wrists, swivel waist, t-crotch legs, hinged knees, and swivel feet.

Kermit wasn't too terribly expensive online.  I think I got him for around $18 shipped.  Both are random but fun pieces of Disneyana and Indiana Jones collectibles.  Cheesy, but not Star Wars excessive cheesy.  Speaking of cheesy...I found a "Kindom of the Crystal Skull" popcorn bucket at a local "antique" mall.  Not exactly the find of the century, but for $3.50 it makes a nice Toht tote for better collectibles.
