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.

They even have an articulated one for you cae

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 . . .
