There is only ONE Goldman worthy of my collection.

Dr. Theda said...: I really hope that you can get your long-wanted "Holy Grail" of toys....
I wanted one as a kid for his "exploding Briefcase"....
My "Holy Grail" ...(Mego's 70's "Joker Van"....!!!!!) ... we just found out that the re-issue of the Mego 8 inch figures ...is to include the Vehicles ...and the "Joker Van" is to be one of them...
It may Not be the original one that we so wanted all these years ... But it does mean that we will be able to add this long coveted item to my Joker Collection...!!!; May 30, 2013 at 11:55 AM
Jordan said...: Isn't that the same figure (and exploding briefcase) in a different package?

I'm not saying you shouldn't hold out for the original. I'm just curious.; May 30, 2013 at 3:23 PM
Big J said...: Nope the one in the blister package is a mego 8" figure with a non exploding briedfcas, the one in the box is an original Kenner 13" figure. if you are interested Cal I have a spare Oscar (with full outfit) sans the briefcase, papers and headset if you are interested.; May 30, 2013 at 11:56 PM
Kal said...: Let's talk Big J. I hate that he is missing the briefcase but let's talk. Having him sit by my Teddy Roosevelt looks good to me. And maybe I can put him together piecemeal. I never thought outside the box like that.; May 31, 2013 at 12:19 PM
