UPDATE: Sold for US$152.50 (6 bids).
There’s not too much missing from this old vintage toy currently available on eBay. He’s mostly complete. Mostly. All this sample is missing are a pair of tongue parts and that’s it. Being offered for auction, or buy it now for US$300. It’s a reasonable purchase.
The dome is in good shape without any cracks or other deformations and the crest between his shoulders is still affixed, too. Sure, he’s a little dirty, covered in up to four decades worth of dust, grime and mange; but it’s nothing a good scrub with some mild kitchen detergent and a spent shaggy dog toothbrush won’t fix in a jiffy. He’ll make for a nice pick up for someone bidding on this item. That is, if the bidding doesn’t escalate dramatically and climb from US$125 to US$300 – or more – for an incomplete 40 year old toy. Yeah. That happens a lot, actually. He may be incomplete, missing a pair of tongue pieces and covered in dust but the presence of the dome and crest along with what looks like a nice, presentable figure concealed beneath that layer of shit will positively influence the sale’s outcome.
