    A Tale of Two Zorros

    Ever since I first saw this figure in Bonavita's book. I've always wanted to own a box example. I just love the colors, design and art. For the last 10 years or so, I've watch these same two boxed Zorro's change hands and I never thought in a million years that I would end up owning one never mind both. This might sound more incredible when you realize that there are only Five boxed examples known to exist in the world. Anyway I thought that I would share and I would love to see these photos feature in the Zorro section of the mego museum gallery (I can send unmarked copies). Thanks goes to Bill Frost and Rudy Zerbi for these.

    Also here is some Zorro trivia to celebrate, did you know that Zorro was the 1st WGSH ever created in 1919 by pulp writer Johnston McCulley and that when Bruce Wayne's parents were killed in Batman's origin story, Detective Comics 33 (November 1939) they had all just gone to see 'The Mark of Zorro'

    Enjoy Clem

    Wow, two of them. A lot of us have doubles of things, but double Zorro's?

    Congrats on the score x2, they look awesome in groups.

        Wow, pretty impressive stuff for sure.
        I keep expecting to find one at a car boot sale........
        There is just one major problem with my expectation, I don't frequent car boot sales

            Very impressive Clem, congrats! Zorro's a great figure with a striking box, too bad he's so damn scarce.

                    Get one more and you will have cornered the market. If someone asks the value of a Zorro, we can say just ask Clem see what he wants for one

                            The two Zorros look like their missing their brothers. Got to bring the Quartet together.

                              Congrats, Clem! AMAZING!

                              Now I don't feel as bad about owning four carded Green Arrows.
