So I posted this about a week ago in the banter board, but I know it's kind of a specific breed over there, and that the Jakks fans over here might enjoy this, at least a bit. This is the last remaining relic of my original Jakks collection. During the early days of these forums, Jack Specific came into possession of some of these giveaways from the Jakks booth at the 2002 Toy Fair and held a giveaway scavenger hunt on the boards. He'd hide specific words, phrases, or pictures in random threads (sometime buried several pages back), and if you were the first to find one and DM him the link to the post, he'd mail you one of these. It's pretty unimpressive as far as event giveaways go, but was sort of par for the course for the late 90s/early 00s. It's kinda made the move with me over the years, and somehow managed to stay in pretty decent shape. I mostly keep it around just 'cause it's kind of a cool one-off, even if there's nothing unique about it other than the print down the leg.

That's a really cool piece to still own, and it's so funny that you literally got it through this forum. Was this one of the "in the baggie" giveaways? I'm sure I was offered this years ago sealed in the bag but I could be mistaken.

I'm sure I was offered this years ago sealed in the bag but I could be mistaken. Yeah, it came in a nondescript plastic bag. If it were today, I might've kept it sealed, but I would've been 16 or 17 when this was originally sent my way.

I was a bit younger then too and was collecting loose so I would've done the same thing. This is still to this day my favourite Triple H head scan from any company.

1. That's a GREAT figure, actually. 2. Jack Specific -- that sounds awesome. Ever consider doing something like that again?

I've done a bit of digging, maybe someone can help. Did Jakks ever do a standard release of this figure with that shirt?
