Maybe I am wrong, but this looks to me like a Kfz2 / Stower 40
Here is a pic:

I posted this info in another thread, but Millionaire Playboy has a bunch of pics of the new Indy stuff.

looks a bit over scale but good shape

shouldn't be a gap behind the rear seats unless it's a different version than i've found.

Well, ok, so the German staff car doesn't look too far off the real thing. That missile launcher will certainly have to go!

This looks pretty toy like but with a little bit of weathering and accessories I think it will be a keeper!

Post by **aferguson** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 8:55 pm

apparently these were often used as radio cars, which would be interesting

The basic shape is there. With a little work it has potential.

Don't judge the paint aps too harshly, these are (I'm sure) prototypes. Hasbro had a ton of paint masters and things, not final production items, so this may fall into that category...

Also don't judge scale too much either... Wait'll you see some XD guys in it. That Shia Labouffe (?) character/figure is pretty small, and Hasbro's figures are generally smaller by a margin than XD figures are... So they may look a bit small in it.

The truck looks OUTSTANDING and is 100% a new sculpt as well, so I can't wait for that. I think that all of the Indy vehicles are turning out great. There's also a piece of Russian armor of some kind, though nothing real-world I'm afraid, as it's a tank with sawblades on the front for hacking up the rain forrest. Who knew, Commies hate nature!?

Anyway, the basic body of it looks like a dozer type item, but the blades on the front don't look entirely realistic. Then again, I don't know what kind of deforestation equipment exists or did exist, so I could be way off.

The German 2-pack is neat and gives two unique looks to the German DAK figure too... One in a greenish jacket, ala the guys at the sub base where Indy hijacks a German's outfit, and then the basic tan like in the desert chase sequence.

Cool stuff coming guys, it'll definitely complement our other hobby... Just cool beans if you're into the whole Indiana Jones thing too and want to collect the toys.

It's like best of both worlds.

Plus, look for figures from all 4 films too, not just Raiders and the new film... Temple of Doom and Last Crusade are both in the works for figures too, and hopefully vehicles/playsets as well.

Check out these new photos of the Russian soldiers from the Indiana Jones line.

These look to be very promising. It will be nice to have some Russian troops in the collection.

I'll be getting a few of those...I wish I had some Russian Armor in 1/18

Post by **aferguson** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 12:53 pm

No you don't, as long as you are willing to spend some money. The next comic pack wave in the 25th Anniversary GI Joe line this year will have one with the Red Star figure. The comic packs are selling for roughly $10 in retail stores. Here is a link to the Duke/Red Star pack with the PPSH:

Those of you that don't want the AKs that come with the Russian soldiers in this line, I'll gladly take them off your hands...

PPSh and a Mosin-Nagant unless one of those slipped out somewhere..?

Post by **aferguson** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 2:38 pm

don't want to pay $10 per ppsh.

Marauder needs to make one, big time..

I wonder if Chap Mei will do some Germans in their Indy knock off series.. maybe we'll get something like the red skull custom I saw here.

Lets all buy as many of the figs and vehicles as possible, multibles and multibles so they will make as many toys as they can. ie like the starwars line

. Hopefully they keep the line going for awhile. Man I cant wait, not only are these toys from the awesome movies, the possibilities of troop building and customs is at a whole new level.

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 9:24 pm

Does anyone know when these will be hitting the shelves?

I thought movie companies liked to send this stuff out early to get a jump on selling?
