I don't think they'll expand the toy line at least for Disney because the figures that they have appear in the MGM stunt show. They do sell other Indy merchandise, but as far as action figures go, I don't think they'll add ones from other Indy movies or even other characters from the movie.
And my belief as to why the figures look so bad (apart from Indy, who I think looks pretty good) is because instead of trying to make the figures look like the actors who played them, they went for a more generic look because of the "stunt doubles" who play the characters in the stunt show. I'm referring mostly to Marion here, because she looks nothing like Karen Allen. I think they just went for a generic female look with dark hair and hoped no one would notice.
I do have a friend who was confused however because when we saw the show, the actress who played Marion was blonde. When I saw the action figure and commented on how it looked nothing like Allen, he said "Yeah, she's not even blonde!"
Apparently it's been a while since he's seen the movie.

I'd be up for more Disney Indy figs. With the line from Hasbro coming, I don't see it happening, but you never know.

I'm sure those figures for sale are overstock. They may not be making any new figures, but they will sell those they have left.

New 7" Disney Figure
There's a picture of a new Indiana Jones 7" figure in the new Toyfare magazine(issue #125). The article says that the figure is sculpted by Gentle Giant and will be available at the Disney Parks starting in December!! He comes with a sword, gun and whip and a pretty sweet base. Sorry, but I don't have a scanner right now to post a picture.

Yeah, it looks like theres articulation on the shoulders, elbows, legs and knees. I can't tell from the picture if the wrists are articulated or not. It also comes with the fertility idol.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to go see if I can hunt down a copy. Did the article mention if there are other figures in the set or just the Indy?

It didn't say anything about other ones, just Indy. I'd love to get some other figures in that scale, though.

Pretty cool looking.I've never been to big on 7 inch figures but I'll have to pick this up.I love the base.
Gah, no Tokyo Disneyland release? That's the only one I'm going to get to next year. Go figure. For the first time in over 5 years I don't have immediate access to a Disney theme park, and now they come out with a new one. Thank dog for Disney's mail order!
And their fact-checker needs to be fired, as Disneyland does not have a stunt show, only the ride.
