This is a ridiculous find. Don’t let Ryder gets his hands on it.

Boss Man and others were in series 2, all without the rooted hair. Thought those had been discussed many times on here previously.

No. I’m not fishing for offers. Just saying cool find for OP and he posted a pic of boss man who I may want to add to my collection one day if found decently priced. Nice attempt at being a Mod tho. |

I don't think the star toys (regular ones) are as rare as people think / say
They are not common, but not all that rare either.
At any point in time they are on auction sites etc from different sellers so they're out there
There are other items which are rarely on there.

These are rare in the sense of: - they were only sold in Spain, France and Germany - they weren't mass produced like Hasbros |

But we are not in 1990, we are in 2020 Today the Jake is far more rare as evidenced by a search How rare something was 30 years ago is irrelevant when it's easy enough to find now |

But we are not in 1990, we are in 2020 Today the Jake is far more rare as evidenced by a search How rare something was 30 years ago is irrelevant when it's easy enough to find now So, your argument is void as well: They were mass produced, just not for the USA - those 3 countries you mentioned have a population of 200 million people Since 1997 (my 1st days on the internet) this is the first Star Toys Jake with molded hair I've seen, during that time I've seen Hasbro WWF Damien with bag at least 30 times. Even know a quick search on auction sites show me zero Star Toys Jake with molded hair, but I do find 3 Hasbro WWF Damiens (2 with bag)... |
