Check out the Fonz and other great TV lines at the Mego Museum TV Gallery (http://megomuseum.com/teevee/index.html).

Wow, 8 bucks. Kinda high, huh?

Yeah with prices like that, no wonder Western Auto went bust.

I do remember getting a charge at seeing their yearly Christmas supply. Our local store had no toys throughout the year (other than bicycles and the like), but at Christmas they had quite a haul.

Is it just me or does Fonzie's headsculpt look different? And his jeans look more bell-bottom-like. Not very era-appropriate, huh?

Exact same reaction. With today's figures going for about $9.99-14.99, that seems a bit high. You might have actuallty had to put those on lay-a-way back in '77. I mean, he wasn't really THAT cool, was he?

His jacket also has pocket flaps sewn on, and appears to have a zipper that is zipped halfway up???
