Here is the information of New 12" Indiana Jones from my lovely friend Sue (Suzanne C Benning) in CA. As I told on forum last time, the Indy was made by the same company which made Steve Mcqueen few years ago. And please say thank you to Sue!!

Dear Azuma, Here is a copy of the information my Calif. friend received
from his friend in Japan:
***********************
"Toys McCoy Indiana Jones from The Raiders of The Lost Ark
36000 yen + tax (5%)
Limited Production of 3000 units, includes a hat, a shirt, a sand bag,
a golden idol, a pair of socks, pants, a pistol with holster, a pair
of boots, a sack with strap, a doll stand, a leather jacket, a whip,
a cotton belt with army buckle, a leather belt with ranger buckle,
a Hasbro Classic Collection body with special articulate hands, and
2 additional hands. Head sculpt by Hama Hayao from Biriken Shokai.
The head sculpt is awsome and the specially articulated hands (the
same one used for Toys McCoy Steve McQueen as Hunter, having an
additional rotation to the ordinal Classic Collection) realize more
realistic posing. Also there are a pair of additional hands to hold
the golden idol (left hand) and a whip or a sand bag (right hand).
Toys McCoy Arabian Horse for Indy
12000 yen + tax (5%)
Limited Production of 1000 units, includes an Arabian carpet, a unit
of MARX Horse Riding Options (I do not know how you call it, so,
please replace with an appropriate term). The white horse Indy
rode in the movie. A great companion to him. You can ride Indy on
him and move back and forth since there are wheels in the legs.
************************
As you can see, Indy is made by the same Japanese company that made the
Steve McQueen doll about 2 years ago. "Steve" was about $300, as I
remember, but maybe more. The prices in the above quote are retail
prices in Japan.
