Wait, are you saying that they didn't get it right the first time?

Hey, I'll forgive a wonky sculpt for an unmasking feature any day.

Sweet Jesus

Seems like the incentive for making a fake is pretty amazing.

Think that's legit? The figure bubble looks pretty rough (the corners aren't rounded) but that could just be age and/or because it's prototype. And did these figures come with the gun in their hand?

If it's real, the starting bid seems right, given this thing's mythic status.

Nah. There is a point where it enters the comedy of life

Hey, I'm saying there's no way I'd pay that for a hunk of plastic. Fuck that.

Speaking of hunks of plastic, here's a few recent acquisitions.

Ran across these TRU-exclusive NECA 60's Batman and Dark Knight Joker figures today.

And, NECA's newest Predator figures are out as well. Christoph Waltz seems to be getting a kick out of it.

Hey, I was a child! Kids don't watch the news, and we didn't have internet back then. I just knew that there was always the urban legend going around kids I knew that some other kid's brother or something had a mystical Boba Fett whose rocket actually shot.

I mean, I'm assuming it started with someone knowing it from news or whatever, and then became legend as it was passed along. Or the fact that, just looking at the toy, you were sure it was supposed to shoot.

And I had those Battlestar toys. Might still have them tucked away somewhere.
