Across four decades, five films, a TV series, and one of the best games of the year, Indiana Jones has been one a mainstay of pop culture. There's a good chance that there's someone in your home who's a massive fan of the character, and with the globetrotting archeologist being as popular now as he was when he first debuted in 1981, now is a great time to get them a thoughtful gift based on the film franchise.

Fortunately, there's a ton of official Indiana Jones merchandise available, ranging from the original movies on Blu-ray to collectible action figures, behind-the-scenes books, and even a replica of the character's trademark fedora.

Indiana Jones Blu-rays and Box Sets


The entire Indiana Jones film collection--from Raiders of the Lost Ark to Dial of Destiny--is available on Blu-ray. There are multiple options available, including a four-movie collection that packs Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull into one box set. You'll need to pick up Dial of Destiny if you want to complete the saga. Alternatively, you can pick up all the movies individually--many of which are available in special Steelbook editions.

The Complete Making of Indiana Jones


$37.30 ($55)

This 300-page book takes you behind the scenes of the first four Indiana Jones movies. Inside you'll find never-before-seen artwork and archival gems from the Lucasfilm Archives, hundreds of full-color images, exclusive on-set interviews, and much more.


Indiana Jones Novels


If you're looking for a new way to experience Indy's adventures, check out the novels based on his movies. You can pick up the novelizations of the original trilogy in a collectible omnibus edition or paperback edition. The book adaptation of the fourth movie, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is also available. The tomb-raiding historian has also starred in a few original novels, including Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead.


Indiana Jones Lego Sets


If the Indy fan in your life is also a Lego collector, you'll want to check out the small handful of Indiana Jones Lego sets available online. Unfortunately, one of the coolest sets, the Temple of the Golden Idol, is sold out--however, you can still grab smaller sets like the Indiana Jones: Escape From the Lost Tomb set and Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade Fighter Plane Chase Scene.

While Lego has only produced a few official Indiana Jones sets, other brands like Tocmoc have filled the gaps with unofficial brick-building kits like the Temple of the Holy Grail playset. The 2,388-piece display is not officially Indiana Jones-themed, but it's clear that this is cribbing from the ruins where The Last Crusade's climax occurs.
