    I remember watching Jingle All The Way And always wanting a Turboman toy. Years later, I never knew there was an actual toy of Turboman being a Walmart exclusive. But I could not find it and on ebay, they sell for like $400 these days. But now, thanks to Funko, they are bringing back the original Turboman toy as a Walmart Exclusive again. Don't know if it works like an original one those. I hope to find one for myself, but I fear it may be a US thing only.

    It says $109.99. Yeah...umm....nah. I'll wait til Walmart gets it back in stock so I'm not buying it from a 3rd party.

    One listing on ebay said $65. Maybe it's less at retail.

    I can scalp Turboman? Theres four at my store. It took me a minute to remember what it even was.

    Why scalp? Because its funny in context.

    Dammit. I got all excited and thought you were talking about Turbo Man from the Mega Man series.

    Even though this is an odd one off type of thing I kind of want one just because. I wouldn't ever remove it from the box but just having it sit in the background somewhere seems like a neat idea.

    The funny part is everyone loves the Villain(Vader for example?).
