Then there is this toy. Yes it is real. That is the Mighty Thor on a pink scooter - a broken pink scooter on top of that. How this ever got by the boys in toy development is a story I simply must hear one day. Hakes, the premiere auction house for finding pop culture collectibles has this one for sale in their latest sale/auction. What is written in their catalogue:

 

6x8-3/8" blister card contains 4.25" long plastic figure of Thor riding pink scooter. ©1968 Marvel Comics Group. This toy was issued in an illustrated box as well as on a blister card as offered here. Card shows scattered handling w/corner tip wear and surface paper lift at lower left corner, though blister remains affixed to card. Fine overall w/original Kresge store price stickers. Thor Scooter has right handlebar missing as factory-issued as blister remains completely sealed and piece is not loose within. This issue is not at all noticeable when viewed straight on and piece remains nice for display. Rare toy, even more rare in this packaging, as this is the only carded Thor known to us. The only boxed example we have ever offered sold for $2,530, while the last loose scooter we offered (Spider-Man) sold for $1,380. (K/L - $1000 to $5000)

 

 

Currently at 600 dollars
