So I'm currently adding to my MPI collection. Just bought a 'ROBIN1' license plate and the Revell model Ferrari kit off eBay (and will keep eye out for new listings of Revell Vanagon & TC's chopper).

Was checking out JJ's Tie-In products page (very cool JJ). saw the LJN items and thought they look pretty cool. Did some searching and for one they're pretty much impossible to find for purchase, and the one site I did fine them out..... WOW, check out the value of them!!!

Wow. Even that one with the broken box is going for $750! They're not even good quality toys.

Incredible project!

Magnum wore his deck shoes far more than the Pumas and especially with jeans. Just a thought.

Very talented artist you are. Can't wait to see it painted..that REALLY brings out all the details.

Hey JJ - here's another LJN collectible to ad to your Tie-In page. First time I've seen one...

Doubt he'll get the price he's after though.

Damn, tried to post an image impression but couldn't. I can't seem to get the hang of the HTML coding for this forum software!

Tres cher mon ami.

Pretty cool to see it mint in the box. I always feel sad for toys like these...never got to have any fun!

Wow, that is really cool! I don't think I've ever seen a TM action figure!

Ya gotta love the seller's reasoning for the $800 starting bid price:

I am selling this figure to help pay for pharmacy school applications. This is a big reason I am asking a lot for this figure.

He'd look good next to Higgy Baby!

Jeez, that's a bad Higgins. He looks more like a Mein Kampf action figure, if you get my meaning.
