German Mechanic

The Adventures of Indiana Jones Action Figure

About This Vintage Toy

Produced by Kenner in 1983, there were 9 total 3.75″ carded action figures. As the only German army action figure actually released by Kenner for this series, the nameless “German Mechanic” would provide loads of fun going head to head with Indiana Jones in a bare-knuckle fist fight! Minimal articulation included knee hip straight arm and neck movement.

The action figure came with an easily lost mechanics ranch. The value of the accessories alone is often worth more than the figure itself, Depending on the mint condition of the action figure. In this case, the mechanics wrench is worth far more than the action figure itself on the loose market.
