that's a sweet find.
I love advertising mascots.

That's awesome! I've long wanted a Michelin Man - is it vinyl?
It'd look great next to my Twinkie the Kid, Pillsbury Dough Boy, and Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man (okay, okay, so that last isn't a real company mascot, so sue me). Too bad it hasn't one or two ponts of articulation.

I just saw one of the first Bibendum Man posters and he is sitting at a table with eating shards of glass. I think it was from the 1890's! Such a cool icon!

What a cool figure!
I found a place stateside that's selling these non-glow versions at a very reasonable price. The description indicates that it's made of PVC.

That reproduction Classic Mr. Bib statue is incredible! The best!
Thanks for the heads-up on the articulated one! Woo-hoo!
Now I need a Sinclair Dinosaur . . .
