Major Arnold Toht Mighty Muggs - Indiana Jones Wave 3

major ARNOLD TOHT

PART OF THE INDIANA JONES MIGHTY MUGGS COLLECTIONS

Major Arnold Ernst Toht, portrayed by Ronald Lacey, is the sinister Gestapo agent who attempts to retrieve the medallion from Marion, but his hand is burned by it. The scarred inscription on his hand is used by the Nazis to pinpoint the Ark's location, but as his hand lacks the code on its other side, they end up digging in the wrong area. Toht's face is melted by the spirits in the Ark but in the comic book adaptation he is killed by Indiana during the truck chase with a in-and-out bullet on the head. In a sequel comic book, Indy is confronted by his vengeful sister Ilsa.

"You Mighty Muggs, you're all the same. Always overdressing for the wrong occasions."

Toht was known as Belzig in the August 1979 draft of the script. Spielberg wanted Toht to be a cyborg, with a metal arm that could transform into a flamethrower and machine gun. The 1979 script gave him a light in place of a right eye. Lucas rejected these as too far-fetched. Lacey was cast as Toht as he reminded Spielberg of Peter Lorre. Klaus Kinski turned down the role as he hated the script. Lacey later cameoed in The Last Crusade as Heinrich Himmler, opposite Michael Sheard (who auditioned for Toht) as Adolf Hitler. A 3.75" figure of Toht was released in late 1982, and he was part of a metal miniature collection in 1984.

This Irina Spalko Mighty Mugg stands at 6 inches tall and comes with a fighting sword prop. Ok, call me biased, but she is definitely going in my collection!  Do you think it's because she's Russian?  :-)  While I didn't understand WHY her character was in the story, I thought Kate Blanchett did a wonderful job with her accent.  I'm Russian myself, and even I thought she was authentic.  A great urban vinyl figure that strongly resembles Kate. Comes out in November of 2008... be on the look out!
