The 1980s Indiana Jones toy lines were split between two different legendary toy companies, creating a fascinating contrast in vintage action figure history. In 1982, Kenner launched the Raiders of the Lost Ark collection, utilizing the same 3.75-inch scale and 5-point articulation formula that made their Star Wars line a global phenomenon. This highly sought-after lineup featured iconic figures like Indy with his signature "quick-action" whipping arm, alongside essential vehicles like the Desert Convoy Truck. However, when Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom debuted in 1984, the licensing rights shifted to LJN. Moving away from Kenner's smaller scale, LJN produced a stylized, chunky 6-inch action figure line with oversized, poseable rubber bodies. While the LJN line was short-lived and only yielded a handful of figures—including Indy, Mola Ram, and Giant Thuggee—both the Kenner and LJN eras remain prized, nostalgic holy grails for vintage toy collectors today
