Star Wars Celebration is currently underway at ExCel London, having begun on April 7 and lasting through April 10. Going into this, fans knew to expect exhibits, screenings, merchandise, celebrity panels, and more, all celebrating the Star Wars franchise. New movies were even revealed on the first day. Hasbro was also in attendance at Star Wars Celebration, where it debuted a new set for another popular IP: Indiana Jones. As part of the Adventure Series, this new collectible focuses on Indiana Jones' interaction with the Golden Idol in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
This isn't Hasbro's first release of Adventure Series products for Indiana Jones, but it is perhaps among the most articulated and detailed. In the past, this series has released figures for Marion Ravenwood, Major Arnold Toht, Walter Donovan, the Staff of Ra Headpiece, and so on.
The Temple Escape set includes a 6-inch scale action figure set focused on the opening Raiders of the Lost Ark scene with the Golden Idol. It includes the idol itself, the pedestal upon which the idol sits, and the sandbag that Jones swaps the Idol with. Accompanied by an Indiana Jones figure (with a detachable whip and pistol), players can recreate a number of scenes from the movie or put their own take on the figures, if they get them out of the box that is.

Overall, it looks like 2023 is going to be a great year for the avid Indiana Jones fan. Fans will not only be able to pick up this collectible set this summer, but they'll also be able to see Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny at the end of June. This movie serves as Harrison Ford's final foray as Indiana Jones.
The majority of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny takes place in 1969, with Jones living during the time of the Space Race. The U.S. Government has recruited former Nazis to help it beat the Soviet Union, Jones' goddaughter Helena Shaw follows him on this new journey, and something is brewing with Jurgen Voller, former Nazi and current NASA member involved with the Moon Landing Program.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premieres in theaters on June 30.
