Costumer Critiques

Officially licensed by LucasFilm: Indiana Jones(tm) Crystal Skull Adventure Projector, 14005, by Uncle Milton.

Yes, that would be the Uncle Milton of ant farm fame. I wonder what an "Indiana Jones The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" ant farm would be like? -)

Tough translucent blue plastic skull measures 9-1/two inches lengthy, 4-1/2 inches high, 4 inches wide. Battery-operated light mechanism (three "C" batteries) creates a surprisingly vibrant beam.

Box art includes full LucasFilm Ltd. markings in addition to the Uncle Milton logo. The base of the skull also bears both LFL and Uncle Milton trademark and copyright info.

The lower jaw is hinged and movable.

Set includes Skull Projector, set of three 8-frame cardboard transparency strips, and an audio CD featuring narration to accompany the slides. The slide transparencies appear to be 16mm size film stills. Batteries not included.

As I mentioned above, the light is surprisingly vibrant, in that, for instance, if you point it straight at your eye (not recommended), you'll wish you hadn't. Once the slide strips are inserted, nonetheless, unless the space is absolutely pitch dark, you will not be able to see much. Even the slightest quantity of ambient light washes out the images, most of which consist of scenes from the several "Indiana Jones" franchise films. Also, the pictures are little. Although the 16mm film frames could, in theory, be projected fairly huge with a high level of detail, the fixed-focus lens on this projector, in addition to the limited brightness, call for keeping the projector really close to the screen or wall, resulting in a smaller image, maybe tiny alot more than 12-inches (30 cm) in height.

An included audio CD, meant to synchronize with the slides, functions a narration by a Harrison Ford sound-alike actor, who does really a great job. I have listened to the CD in my auto stereo a few instances it's rather entertaining on its personal, without the slides. Slide transitions are signaled by a whip-crack sound effect changing the slide strips is indicated by an airplane engine sound.

I suspect most kids would develop tired of watching the 24 smaller, dim slides rather easily but the skull itself is fairly cool. I actually removed the projector mechanism from the projector skull I bought and installed a low-wattage light bulb, making a spooky glowing Crystal Skull night light. The surprising amount of detail molded into the projector makes this a great crystal skull prop (about 1/2 scale, I would estimate, compared to the on-screen skull) for Indy film fans.

I wanted to add my assessment mainly because I was concerned soon after reading an additional. This was a last minute purchase for an practically four year old Indy fan. Placing Indy and Lego together for the video games has genuinely revived the Indy industry!

We made use of this last night and it works exactly as it is supposed to. The slide and cd content material is a bit mature for my guy, but he loved searching at the photos and hearing Indy's voice on the cd. I am glad I purchased!
