So I just discovered yesterday that this little guy existed. I thought I'd just go on eBay and buy him... but nothing. Looks like he was pretty rare 2 years ago, and thus near impossible to find today.

He's now my (first) grail, and I honestly never expected to have one (in b4 he's not grail-appropriate).

So... surprise grail thread ?

found his wave at the po-dunk wal-mart in my college town, He's pretty sweet, but not worth anything over 20 bucks.

In a pinch, he's a RoC Shipwreck torso and upper legs, with everything else from a Hall of Heroes/Cobra boxset #3 Storm Shadow and Ninja Viper equipment.

If you're lucky, you can find all those at a TJ Maxx. The Quick Kick sash is the hardest part.

I saw one once at a Walgreens, but didn't think he was worth the $12 they were asking for him. I'd probably jump on that now though.

>>2309825granted, not too insane in price~he's like around 60 bucks last i checked
That is insane, considering he was basically the only figure i found in his wave.
He's not even a good figure either.

Boring design and just a huge Frankenstein of a figure. Nothing original about him and someone could easily make their own from the various common figures from the movie and 25th line.

Only for $60.

As generic as the character is, i still like him. If i didnt, i wouldn't have bought him.

Yeah, sorry.

I don't buy shit just to keep my collection complete. I buy stuff because i like it, so i might skip an entire wave because there's nothing there i like.
I never really understood that sort of OCD, but it seems really common with toy collectors.

He's my grail too, OP. He's on eBay occassionally but is starting to get rare. I've never seen him for under $30, and that's just too much to pay for a diorama piece. I'm still seeing RoC waves at drug stores, TJ Maxx and Marshall's, so there's still hope.

Problem is, I don't live in Canada (nor the US) so I'll have to have someone middle-man it to me, or buy it from eBay (been lurking for a couple of days now...)

Would it be expensive to buy all the others figures he's made of, and then re-create an Akamura from them ?
