I picked up this tin figure when I lived in Indiana. There was a toy fair in a podunk town I lived by, so I went to see if I could find any treasures. Sure enough, this one old dude had this and the box (along with inner bag) in perfect conditon for $50. I knew this was put out mid-1950's and that the price was wwwaayyy under what it could go for. So I talked him down

I think at last pricing this would fetch $250 or so.
I've been buying Kubricks for...5+ years. I've been buying stuff from japan since 1984 and keep up with what's going on through various magazines. Saw the Kubrick stuff and was hooked from the start!
Oh yeah, pass around
