That's right. I'm a muppet fan. moving on.

To explain the justification of this commetn I should explain that there was a version of the character produced as action figures by the now defunct Palisades Toys.

There were two variants, one with a Red shirt, and One with a yellow shirt, both of which go for at least 80 bucks online regularly, and at any given time one will go for significantly more than the other, usually twice as much.

So, on an average day

Zoot red 80 bucks
Zoot yellow 160 bucks
Total: 240 bucks.
I need zoot also, and there is nothing wrong with being a Muppet fan..well besides one of those ones who just enjoy everything they put out...those types annoy me because not everything they do is good.
but anyway yeah i need Zoot, Lips, & Jim to finish my Muppet figure collection.

Good buy

Yea, for me it didn't look completely legit, especially the heads. But I don't really know anything about movie props so what do I know.

It's sorta legit, though the auction is 100% misleading. At best the costume was made from recasts of the original molds by someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Yeah, I think all the original movie's costumes are either disintegrated or in really bad shape right now, correct?

I dont know if anyone knows anything about this... It says Leonardo, its deffinately Raph. And the box shows Raph, but the little label says Leonardo...

I know people cruise for misprints and such, so maybe someone wants it.

Myself and Vaughn went over that figure pretty well...

While I cant verify that it is an authentic prototype, I CAN tell you that that is not the retail figure. So it IS a fabrication of some kind.

Either way, is it worth the asking price? Not with $25.00 shipping it isn't.
