Has anyone seen this buddy before? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before until last week but I managed to find a thread on here where somebody posted a similar looking one but the thread is now locked. Was this buddy ever available?  |

I need it, sure as heck wasn't paying the price it went for the other day,
maybe a nice new boxed one, but that amount on a loose one is madness.

Now I'm wondering if the OP started this to get people to that auction (his auction?)...
Seemed like a crazy bidding war, certainly ended far above value: half seems about right as value.

Where are you getting that it’s only worth half of that. The only other one that I’ve ever seen sell was MIB and went for about $375 but that was eight years ago and that was cheap due to the auction not having the highest visibility and nobody even being sure what they were bidding on as it was the first time we learned of its existence. I say all of that to say that I wouldn’t be surprised if the demand has increased so much in the past eight years, that it would warrant that kind of sale price. With these ultra rare/practically one of a kind items, the value is always based on what someone is willing to pay. |

That being said I think what this went for is a correct price for a MIB example, not a loose one. |

didnt know a variant even existed. Did any others from the set have a variant released in another country? I actually like the UK version better, colors and pose are very cool

One of Ryder’s buddies won it. They talked about it today on the pod. I was thinking I’d be in on it around the $350 mark but I was obviously wrong. Ryder said he went higher than that and he didn’t even know what it really was...
