    Scored a Holy Grail!

    I've been wanting a Larami Pinky Martian for a very long time and thanks to vintage spideyfan, I'm going to end up with a beautiful specimen.


    Also, special thanks to "Brian" Palitoy for keeping me patient (not easy to do with an only child) and for being a loyal Martian scout.

    The Martian Chronicles was one of my favorite books growing up. I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Bradbury when he did a book signing at my College many moons ago. It just makes the figure that much more special.


    Carded Pinky will be getting the acrylic case treatment. Damn, I'm giddy.

          Congrats on obtaining a grail! I haven't read the book or seen the TV adaptation, but these figures have always fascinated me. I wouldn't mind having them in my collection someday.

              That is too mint to be true. Does that figure and packaging have a painting in a closet somewhere?
              If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
