First I must extend my most sincere gratitude to wfigs board member "figurecollector" for pointing me in the direction of this auction. cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200543554341&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200543555233&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT The Goldberg I had only seen on two occasions prior, once, loose on eBay no less than 5 years ago and my other sighting of it was the prototype that is part of stoms collection. I had never seen the Nash before and didn't even know of it's existence until this eBay auction. I had the Goldberg as a part of my wants list in my sig but, having never had seen it moc before, was referring to it as a toybiz Goldberg pencil sharpener. Turns out they're made by trendmasters... The same company that made the 6 Goldberg, hogan and Nash Christmas tree ornaments. These aren't small like the ornaments though. The card they come on is 10 inches tall, the figs themselves, about 7 inches.

Very nice find.
I'm just wondering... where do you stick the pencil?

Very nice find. I'm just wondering... where do you stick the pencil? The figures probably stand on a pedestal (the actual pencil sharpener)...

the pencil goes behind his right arm pit. there's no pedestal. dont know where you open them to remove the shavings but it's probably the waist. the left arm appears articulated not sure if its just to pose the fig or if it cranks the sharpener. prob just to pose them. to sharpen you prob just manually turn the pencil/sharpener. i'll never know for sure as these are staying moc.

Did trendmasters make anything else besides these and the ornaments? Through my research I've discovered that the ornaments came packaged 3 different ways. Aside from that I don't know much about the company.
