Helping finding a Toy
« on: November 18, 2004, 07:07:24 PM »
it is from the Playing Mantis Toy Line / Memory Lane
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer 16" Abominable Snowman.
He is in scale with the 6" toyline - if I can find a link with a picture I will add it.

I can't seem to find it at any shop in the GTA - was just wondering if anyone else had any idea where I might look for this guy - before I go to US online stores.

Toysrus.com, and KBToys don't offer the figure so I would have to be looking at specialty shops in the US - and I am not thrilled about giving at my credit card number to a place I have no way of getting references on.

Thanks

This is the best image I could find of the figure with packaging.

Comic shop I use to go to had those in a while ago but I haven't been to that shop in a LONG time. I can swing by this weekend and see if it's still there.

I bought that for my wife a couple years ago. I still see it from time to time in comic shops (and Toys Toys Toys)

I will keep an eye out for you.

Pretty much.

I just about walked out of there with the Dark Phoenix they have the other day. Had the wife's ok, too. Just couldn't bring myself to stoop to their level.

I have never been a big fan of Toys Toys Toys - they had the X-Men classics I have been looking for about 2 months ago - however I couldn't spend the $25 per figure they were asking.  I could buy them out of the US or on ebay for about $50 US - and I wasn't about to spend $125 Canadian.

But if they are the only ones that have my Abominalbe "Bumble" guess I will have to fork out the money, as I can't find any sites that I trust that have it.
