Marcus Brody / Rene Belloq (Ark Showdown) Indiana Jones - Adventure Series (Hasbro)Marcus and Belloq arrive in a 2-pack. Again this is probably not seen as essential unless you are looking to have a complete set including exclusives, etc. The retail price for this set was $56. BigBadToyStore currently lists it for $62.99 (collector grade), $58 (standard). This is far too overpriced on BBTS and they will charge $4 flat rate shipping on top of this. You can find this set much cheaper elsewhere. For example Hasbro Pulse has it listed for $20.91+Shipping. Gamestop also has it listed for $29.38 which may even be cheaper if you have Pro. For two figures the initial price was more than two individual figures from the adventure series. At these discounted prices it is much easier to justify this two pack especially when it is fairly light on accessories one of which is on the small side. First the main draw is that they did see fit to make one Marcus Brody. He isn't exactly a character that screams action figure. But he is a beloved character from the films and it is nice to have at least one version of him. The other figure is the white suit Belloq. Ceremonial Belloq is fine and all but is pretty specific to the ending of Raiders. White suit Belloq had more screentime and there are simply more situations you can fit him into. The sculpt on both characters is decent with both having great likenesses to their actor. Articulation is pretty standard fare and in line with other figures in the series. They probably reused some parts like the pants on both were probably re-used from Club Obi Wan Indy, etc. With the set costing as much as it had? It would have been nice to have more accessories, though what we got feels thematic to those characters as depicted on screen. Marcus comes with an apple (it's small so don't lose it). He also comes with a book that has printed text in it. It's not like an actual book in terms of how the binding is portrayed. But it has some clasps and is a decent addition/set piece. Belloq on the other hand only comes with an MP-40. For a line that is pretty light on villains? It's nice to have Belloq with a gun even if it is a variant of a character that already exists in the line. Overall it's a decent set, but don't pay retail or scalper prices. If you can find one for $20-25? It's a pretty good deal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
