Indiana Jones & Temple of Doom by LJN

[10incher]

Came across another auction for a whole group of Indy prototype figures from the Temple of Doom line including the unreleased Willie Scott, 2 versions of Short Round and a variant of Indy. The set sold for $8600

These are great, I can see that price for all them together since they are hand-painted hardcopies.

[wumarsha]

I cannot believe the too expensive price, why are they so expensive?

[rawlin]

These are prototypes if I got it right, which is worth a large amount more then a normal figure. Star Wars first shots and prototypes as an example goes for huge prices.

And pretty much everything related to Indiana Jones is expensive, there are a large amount of collectors, even though I guess many collect props etc, I can imagine that they also want the figures since they are related. And that could put in more then just toy collectors into the picture.

That lot went for a small fortune because 3 of those figures were never produced and are highly coveted. I'm a big Indy collector and have the full line of LJN figures. Up until now I didn't know if the Willie or Short Round figures still even existed, let alone the variations. That there was a historical auction.

[tootles]

That was some auction. It was neat to see the short round and indy variations.

I just added pictures of Willie Scott, Short Round, and the Impossibles set to
