Spain - The Spanish company Andrea Miniatures did it again: They created a new Indy
figure but you will probably never hear about it because they do not seem to own official licenses to do so.
The company offers a lot of metal figures inspired by films and books but none of it under it's official name.
So far their most prominent figure for Indiana Jones fans was the "1930's Adventurer". The figure can
be bough pre-painted and is one of the best Indy figures available.
A well known 1930's adventurer, size 54 mm. One of these figures was a prize for last years
IJC.at Treasure Hunt.
Small heads
Earlier this year they added another Indy piece to their collection that was so small, I did not even mention it:
The movie heads. They made different sets each with 4 tiny white metal casting heads - about 5 mm large - of prominent
movie figures. I bought the pack with Indy (set SGA18, also includes the Terminator, Conan and the Highlander)
but you do not really need to have those.

The motorcycle
I have not yet been able to order the new figure, they may not be available yet. But: The
newsletter also features the German Motorcycle BMW R75 which looks like the bike used in the Indy & Dad set.
There seem to be small differences and coloring differences in the model show but these may be only due to choices
of the person who built the model.
German Motorcycle BMW R75, size 90 mm
