    Boy sorry you missed this.

    This figure is in my top 10 of all time along with Margret's husbands ( TWIST ) companion figure (which is also a shoe polish applicator).

    Aside from killer designs from 2 major artists, both of these figures are historically significant as they were made before the term "Designer Vinyl" was coined. At the time most collectors didnt know what to think of them.

    If you have it, $500. is a very fair price for these.

    Enjoy, BC

    i was watching that also! but yeah, can't swing the dough for it now... i also really like os gemeos, but the os gemeos one doesn't really make me think of them.

    Nice figure. This entire series is amazing actually. The os gemeos piece is actually one of the few pieces of western vinyl that I still have in my collection.

    the Os Gemeos one is the only one I bought when the set was released.

    big mistake not buying the McGee though...at the time I felt it didn't look enough like the bottle paintings. In retrospect it's perfect...

    I go still love the Os Gemeos one though. really, really unique toy.

    One of my faves!
    She was such an amazing artist and the vinyl really captures one of her signature figures...

    Prices seem to fluctuate on these- keep your eyes peeled and you might find it for under 500, but I doubt under 400...
