Kenner Indiana Jones & Well of Souls playset review 

I had this play set. It was amazing. Unfortunately my parents sold all my stuff at their garage sale to pay for medical bills. Had I known this was so rare, I may have tried better to keep it. I'm getting chills watching this video.

It's truly a tragedy that modern day Kenner, i.e. Hasbro, seems to have no interest in doing action-playsets. These were just as important to us as any action-figures & w/today's more sophisticated sculpting technology & better paint apps would be awesome for us adult collectors to own.

I just stumbled upon this. Really great review. Good job, sir.

Awesome video amigo, love your enthusiasm and camera work here.

I still have this playset. Never had Indy though. I always used a Han Solo figure.

Dare I say it, this may be the best player Kenner ever made. Great review!

Wish I had saved this stuff. I was the only kid in the neighborhood lucky enough to have everything Kenner made for Raiders.

I had this playset with Indy, Salah, Toht, the german mechanic, Marion, and the special edition Belloq. It was a blast.

Very nice review! Brought back memories of owning that toy. Congrats on that bonus Indy figure!

Ive probably seen this video about 20 times

This video is phenomenal! Thanks for documenting this for us :)

There were 3 Indy's per case and one Marion. The cases mostly were made up of Toht's and Cairo Swordsman. I was only able to find Indy and Marion because I happened to be at the store the morning they put the figures on the shelf. I never saw an Indy or Marion again in the store.

AWESOME video! I had the entire line as a kid and loved all of them. I recently sold them off. Sad to see them go, but hopefully it went to someone who will appreciate it as I did all those years ago.

Your videos are great man, awsome work

Another great toy review! Thanks for the upload!

Such a cool playset. Would have adored that as a kid. The ark itself is insane. One of those snakes looks the same as the one around Yoda’s neck? Very, very cool.

I had this place set back 80’s . My favorite was the convoy truck Indy could under it and drag behind, great video man

the C3PO and R2D2 were actually very intentional, not just a Kenner thing. Watch closely in those scenes in the movie and you can see hieroglyphics of them on the walls, a special Easter egg for fans of the Star Wars from Steven and George. They go by fast, but that is REALLY cool that the toy also incorporates that, wow.

Good review i watched this 2 years ago and stumbled upon it again

Omg that is the greatest thing ever, the ark looks amazing.

Very well put together video dude great work

I had this as a kid! It was about 1982,I was 7. I remember Indy figure, the ark its cover, the play set with snakes, and frog and the bald headed guy that died fighting Indy airplane propeler.I had indy. My dad threw everything out 1988..I was 13 as he trash bagged everything,saying I was to old for them.

Awesome review! This is truly the “Holy Grail” for me. And the fact that you got an Indy with it?! Color me jealous.

holy shit!!! I knew it was in the film, but I never new it would make it on a toy!!! r2 d2 and c3p0 rule!!!

Kenner made awesome shit!

Great video! I had this, but sold it some years ago, but not with a loose Indy figure (LOL!)…I didn’t realize the Indy figures were so rare and it makes sense that the unavailability of him caused the failure of the entire toy line….how sad….they should have ramped up the Indy figure production!

I got this for Christmas one year. Didn't get any figures to go with it, but I had this.

Man, your awesome! I had one of those action figures.

That's perfection. Great video RetroToyReview!

Wow, that was an excellent video! You really put a lot of time into this and you look like you had a good time making it! Plus, bonus Indy? Wow!

I had the German Deuce and a half truck, the Gestapo guy and the Indiana Jones in the Afrika Korps uniform...which I used as a German Soldier.

Great review. Quality fan videos are why I predominantly watch RU-vid 👍🏻

This was a great video 👌

I had these. It was short-lived as far as what they produced but I actually think Kenner pushed these out again when Temple of Doom came out; I bought mine after seeing Temple so that means they were in stores in the summer of 1984. This is a great review! Great production values! I recently did a review of a carded vintage Indie on my channel.

Plus the toy line came out an entire year after the movie was in theaters. The enthusiasm of the marketplace had died down.

Was that figure really a surprise when u opened it.

Those aren't snakes... Asps, very dangerous Indy! Playsets as these would be almost, almost, as hard to find nowadays as the real Ark! I'm just glad I got to see it here.

Dang, now I wish I had one of these!

The R2D2 and C3PO are a reference to the movie, in which they appear in the hieroglyphics

Excellent review, marvelous set, thanks for sharing it!!!!!!!!

This was a really cool toy. I had this. Wish I still did. I got it for Christmas 1982, along with a ton of G.I. Joe stiff. The Indy figure doubled as Doctor Who, I had to use a bread tie for a scarf. Lol.

DUDE YOU ROCK! MAKE MORE VIDS AND MAKE A COMEBACK!

Really awesome vid buddy!!!!

I still have the Ark of the covenant from this set. Now I've gotta try to find this set again on EBay!

The hyroglphics of R2 and 3P0 appear in the movie. If you freeze frame the scene, you can see it.

I wish you would have shown the back of the break away wall, that is where I always kept the mummy.

I remember buying these and the clash of the titans at odd lots.

Cool review

Actually it did continue in 2008 with the 4 original movies because of the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull film figures were made for all 4 films by Hasbro lol plus Disney had some made for their theme parks as well, Hope they make some for Indiana Jones 5 too! 🤠 Thank you for sharing your collection memories sir! 🏆 🔟👍

What about the 12 inch indy,a redone han solo,i loved it as a kid!

Technically there was dust in the Ark, likely remnants of the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments.

Imagine though if only the Indiana Jones Figure was released...

great score.

The soundtrack is 80% of the movie for sure.

Had it but no figures. Used SW figures. It was cool.

Well back in 2008 hasbro re-issue the Indiana jones toys just as you know!

What is a set like this worth today in 2024?

Who else looked away when he opened the arc?

Can you review the 90s stargate toys?

I would imagine if they continued to make playsets they would have made the German airplane that exploded and submarine.

I had it!

My holy grail: Marion Ravenwood carded

Why did you add in click effects

Lol, that's no shit. I only had Beloq, Toht, Nazi Indy, and Cairo Swordsman, lol

6:10 😂😂😂😂

Make more!!!

Great please do star wars

Oh yeah if you are wanting to buy this Indy is not in the set. :)

can you send me it?

don't open the ark we all know what happened to all of them

can you you 97th.

6:56.....IF YOU DARE !!!
