Indiana Jones - HELENA SHAW!

Indiana Jones Adventure Series - Dial of Destiny - Helena Shaw - Hasbro 2023

Tonight I had dinner with a good friend that reminds me so much of Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Halfway through the meal, I realized that I photographed this toy last year but never actually posted it. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) was a surprisingly entertaining movie. After the lackluster Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), I was nervous that this epic 80's franchise just couldn't be continued in modern times without coming off as super cheesy. But Dial of Destiny was great. It had a good story, it was well-paced, and it tied into the Indiana Jones mythos wonderfully. Phoebe Waller-Bridge played Helena Shaw, the daughter of Indy's late friend and adventurer Basil Shaw. She appears at Indy's retirement with new clues to an abandoned archeological adventure he began with Basil decades earlier. She convinces him to delay his retirement for one last quest and the rest is history. The snarky dynamic between Indy and Helena really makes the movie special. Let's check out Helena Shaw below!


























Helena comes with a flashlight, a backpack, and a large skull piece for the build-a-prop Artifact.






































Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here is Helena with the Marion Ravenwood figure.






Cheers!
