    Right after A Muppet's Christmas Carol my favorite holiday movie has to be the 1995 classic Jingle All the Way starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    For those unfamiliar with the plot, Arnie plays a forgetful dad that waited until Christmas Eve to pick up the hottest toy of the year, a Turbo Man action figure. Turbo Man is the titular hero from his own TV show that you know is totally adapted from a Japanese Toku series.

    Tiger Electronics released a figure that Christmas to tie in with the movie release. I picked this one up at a flea market and it was super beat up. A coat of primer, Krylon Red, Krylon 18K gold, and then some Gundam markering later, and this guy is looking better than ever.

    COOKIES!

    Nice job man. I never thought anyone would ever make a real Turbo Man action figure.
