'Indiana Jones' is one of the epic film series that everybody loves. Oh wait, except for the last one, yeah, that one wasn’t so good. So why not commemorate 'The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' with its own Indiana Jones Doll?
Depicting the silly scene where Dr. Jones climbs into a refrigerator to escape a nuclear explosion, the Indiana Jones Doll is 12 inches tall and looks cool. Too bad the movie was bad, what with the inter-dimensional beings and all. Can you ever un-watch movies? Didn’t think so.
