You mean its a reproduction of the Fertility Idol he takes out of the booby-trapped cave/temple in the first movie! Wow!
(Another version of it: http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/store.asp?p=item.asp%3FItemNo%3D74218%26CategoryID%3D464)
It's not quite a Sheila-na-gig - the figure is clearly giving birth - not just pointing to the font of life and making faces at you. I've read that the figure was meant to refer to a 1930's era artifact that was later claimed to be a fraud. So, you see, Indy found the real one ...
Man, why didn't they have toys like this when I was a kid...

One of my son's favourite Christmas presents was a Talking 12" Indy. Who couldn't love an action figure where you press a button and he moves his lips and says "Archaeology is the search for truth"

I'd not noticed but I've just had a look at ours and it is! Doubly excellent in my book. Get one for your young archaeologist while they are in the Sales.
