The array of Indiana Jones LEGO sets is truly impressive, encompassing everything from thrilling riverboat escapades to concealed temples and, naturally, the classic scene involving a mad dash from a colossal rolling boulder. But when it comes to assessing these sets based solely on their minifigures, we dive into a different conversation altogether.
10. Five-in-One Temple Building Set
At first sight, the Five in One Temple Building Set seems minimal on the minifigures front. However, appearances can be misleading. One could argue that the assortment of skulls embellishing the set count as a unique type of minifigure—consider MINI minifigures! Did you think skulls were merely for decoration? Imagine if your essence were disregarded after you passed; those bones were once a person! So, why not offer the same posthumous respect to these little skeletal figures?
9. Race for the Stolen Treasure
The Race for the Stolen Treasure set features a must-have minifigure for any true Indiana Jones LEGO aficionado: Indiana Jones himself! This set includes Indy, but when it comes to additional characters, it’s just a couple of low-tier antagonists trying to snag some treasure that isn’t even there. While villainous minifigures can be entertaining, they don’t exactly hold high value on the minifigure leaderboard.
8. Motorcycle Chase
The Motorcycle Chase set climbs higher on the list due to one key addition: Indy’s father! Portrayed by Sean Connery, this beloved character is transformed into minifigure form here. Just look at how adorable they are together, racing around on a little motorcycle—bonding over father-son moments through the time-honored tradition of giving villains a good thrashing! Unfortunately, apart from Indy and Dad, this set lacks notable minifigure diversity.
7. Last Crusade Fighter Plane Chase
This set not only features Indy and his father, but it includes a loyal good-guy pilot, enhancing the excitement of the Last Crusade Fighter Plane Chase! A multitude of villain minifigures cannot compete with just one hero in the balance scale of goodness. Moreover, this pilot is undoubtedly a capable character, avoiding the allure of cursed artifacts, focused solely on flying.
6. Temple Escape
In the Temple Escape set, Indiana Jones is captured in his quintessential act of fleeing from a massive boulder. But who else is tagging along? One figure resembles a daring pilot aiding Indy in his risky getaway. Another minifigure shows a stylish individual with a dramatic wolf cut or shaggy bob—seriously, who was their stylist? Let’s not forget the adventurer proudly sporting a pith helmet, the ultimate fashion statement for any explorer. The entire ensemble is a fit-check winner, even the boulder steals the spotlight!
5. Ambush in Cairo
The Ambush in Cairo showcases an unforgettable character from Indiana Jones—Scimitar Dude, who attempts to ambush Indy with a fearsome blade in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Rather than engage in a duel, Indy draws his revolver and handles the situation swiftly. Additionally, there’s a character with a club threatening to repeat the vicious cycle of insanity against Indy. Marion Ravenwood is also included, ready to wield the Luger pistol effectively.
4. Venice Canal Chase
In this Last Crusade set, Indy and Elsa navigate the waters as they evade two henchmen. One might mistake their stylish outfits as haute couture, as Indy is donned in a snazzy suit and Elsa rocks a chic white blouse paired with sleek grey trousers. The henchmen? Take a look at those impressive fezes! Coupled with their tailored jackets and delightful mustaches, they should consider careers at Paris Fashion Week.
3. Escape From the Lost Tomb
Escape from the Lost Tomb marks Indiana Jones’ triumphant return, decked out in classic adventurer gear and ready to dash out of an Egyptian tomb. Accompanied by the glamorous Marion Ravenwood, who sports a grungy outfit with a tattered grey dress, this set also brings along Sullah, impeccably styled. But stealing the show is undoubtedly the mummy minifigure, complete with spooky snake companions—truly iconic! I’d embrace his curse any day.
2. Temple of the Golden Idol
The Temple of the Golden Idol beautifully showcases Indy in his iconic outfit, complete with his whip. Joining him are fellow adventurers Satipo and Belloq—one sporting an endearing scarf while the other dons a stylish safari suit. However, the real showstopper? The Hovitos Warrior minifigure with his chiseled physique. Seriously, someone needs to get this iconic figure a magazine cover immediately!
1. Chauchilla Cemetery Battle
The Chauchilla Cemetery Battle delivers a spectacular display of minifigure exhilaration! Indiana Jones is clad in his traditional outfit complete with a crystal skull accessory, while Mutt Williams fights off cemetery warriors with a shovel, donned in a sleek leather jacket. Meanwhile, the cemetery warriors are busy launching darts and wielding macuahuitls, bringing flair to the scene. And let’s not overlook the star of the show: a whimsical skeleton donned in a 16th-century helm; now THAT is a statement piece!
