Theme
Indiana Jones
Year Released
2008. Released at the inception of the LEGO Indiana Jones theme following years of fan demand, coinciding with the theatrical release of 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. This specific torso was only released in one set (7195) and one people pack (6042129), making it harder to find than the white dress variant.
Head
Yellow classic tone. Features a female face with black eyelashes, thin eyebrows, and a wide-toothed grin. This hair piece is tan, molded in the 'pulled back with side bangs' style.
Torso
Dark brown/tan pilot-style jacket with a cream-colored fur collar. Features a belt print at the bottom and a small pocket detail. Back printing mimics the jacket seams.
Legs
Solid dark green legs with no printing. The hip piece color matches the dark green legs.
Accessories
In the image, she is holding a black Tommy Gun (SMG) which is a period-accurate weapon commonly found in late 2000s adventure sets. Her standard set accessory was often a frying pan or a translucent bottle.
Color Scheme
Earth tones: Dark Brown, Tan, and Dark Green. The yellow skin tone is consistent with LEGO's licensed figures of the mid-2000s transition era.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing for the era. The fur texture on the collar and the buckle detail on the belt are sharp. No arm or leg printing, which was standard for 2008.
Variants
Standard white dress version (iaj002) from 'Lost Ark' and the white-shirt/gray-pants version (iaj031) from 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'.
Condition Notes
The tan hair piece is prone to small scratches. Check for 'neck cracks' in the dark brown torso, a common issue with parts from this specific production era.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $12.00 - $18.00 USD; New/Mint: $25.00+ USD. Prices vary based on the specific set context and hair piece condition.
Price (New)
Originally appeared in set 7195 'Ambush in Cairo' which retailed for approximately $10.99 USD in 2009.
Compatible Sets
7195 Ambush in Cairo; also appeared in various LEGO marketing collections and the 6042129 Indiana Jones Figure Collection.
Character Background
Marion Ravenwood is the tough, independent love interest of Indiana Jones and owner of 'The Raven' bar in Nepal. This outfit represents her traveling gear.
Design Notes
The jacket print is a faithful recreation of her gear from the early scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The mold for the hair was a newer design at the time to better represent female characters.
Similar Minifigures
iaj002 Marion Ravenwood (White Dress), iaj001 Indiana Jones, and various female pilots from the Adventurers theme (e.g., Pippin Reed).
Collectibility
High. LEGO Indiana Jones is a retired and nostalgia-heavy theme. Marion is a core character, making her essential for theme completionists.
History
This figure represents the 'second wave' of the original theme, where LEGO began including more specific costume variants beyond the most iconic looks.
Interesting Facts
The dark green legs are often swapped by collectors with dark tan ones; however, the dark green is the screen-accurate color for her pants during the Cairo chase.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the 7195 market stall or inside a Diorama representing the streets of Cairo alongside Indiana Jones in his standard gear.
Modification Potential
The torso is excellent for MOCs (My Own Creations) involving 1930s-1940s explorers, pilots, or steampunk characters.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, character-accurate minifigure from a beloved era of LEGO. Its unique torso and connection to a classic film make it a standout for any adventure collector.
