So, does this action figure include a set of well-timed wisecracks? (Photo from Hasbro)

Whether parents like it or not, it's hard to find an enticing summer movie released without an equally enticing set of toys to go with it. (Here at Family.com, we still remember many gleeful hours trappingĀ transparent bad guys with Ghostbusters Peter Venkman and Ray Stanz in miniature.) The latest Indiana Jones flick, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," is no exception. Hasbro has 10 new Indy-themed toys scheduled to debut right around the movie's premiere May 22. Likewise, Lego has a ton of Indy goodies, including a mini version of the Bullwhip-Bearing One complete with the world's cutest 5 o'clock shadow. Lego Indy will also feature in a Lucasarts video game due out this year. (While you're on the Lego site, check out trailers and several short "Indy" films, all made with Lego pieces.)

So, what do you think? Is Indiana Jones too much of a relic for your kids to want a fully-poseable version? And, what movie-inspired toy -- if any -- holds court as one of your child's all-time favorites?
