Insane Purchase Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Indy Smells, Mola Ram ran away. Oh, what fun it is to ride on Mine Cart…(Enough, Ed!). Are we that desperate that by plonking a Christmas hat on Indy’s head will part us from our cash? Well, the answer is Yes but that’s beside the point. Nice illustration but only worth getting out once a year to kiss under the mistletoe!

Uncle Milton Lost City Archaeological
Treasure Dig
I bet you’re wondering why this has made it into the top 100 collectables. Well, out of all the Indiana Jones toys this is the only one that actually gives you the mind-numbingly boring sensation of being an actual archaeologist! Not to do down archaeologists but when you sign up for the real thing there’s usually no punching, shooting or rescuing but a lot of scrapping and then more scrapping. We all know that Indiana Jones is as much an archaeologist as Milli Vanilli are singers. However, there is a real stinging in the tail as this toy is really good fun as you get the satisfaction of uncovering all the alcoves and artefacts that are hidden within the sand. So, you’ll quickly learn that as boring as digging is you’ll understand the giant payoff for archaeologists for discovering secrets of ancient civilizations. That’s why it’s in the top 100.
