I think it was Toybox DX's first Toy of the Year:

http://www.toyboxdx.com/lib-alt-boss.html

The company that made it was called Hobby Project, and they are long gone. If you're buying one of these, watch out, they were bootlegged by someone in Hong Kong. I don't know of the exact differences but you might be able to find answers on the Toybox DX BBS.

There aren't that many Boss toys, but Popy did make a small vinyl of it, and there was an excellent Soul of Chogokin toy, too:

$85 is a good price. If Mandarake is selling it, it's highly unlikely it's a bootleg. I say go for it, but just be forewarned it's status as a "garage toy" leaves it with some minor issues like being a little wobbly.

Hobby Project did do that black one, and the clear/bare metal one, they both looked really cool. I don't know if the black and clear ones were bootlegged, too.
