Kojak, at last!!!

[Gorn Captain]

I know, it's not a great figure, but I had it as a kid, so I wanted it back:
Mego Kojak Figure MOC - eBay (item 300350622651 end time Oct-23-09 15:07:13 PDT)

And I'm so happy to have won him!
A loose one, but that's fine for me.
He's 8 inch, so he can team up with Starsky & Hutch. An ideal companion to Megos.

What is it about childhood figures that just make you say "Wow, cool!"???
I put in a bid, a low one because I'm strapped for cash at the moment.
Didn't expect to win.
But I did.
He has all accessories (it isn't carded, but perfectly mint in a brown mailer box and baggie), including his hat, sunglasses, bullhorn, gun and holster, walkietalkie, rifle, riot gear, cigar and two lollipops!
How that's for "extra stuff"?!
Show me a Mego that has a cigar and lollipop...

And I got him for $23.50. Pretty cheap for getting back a piece of my childhood.

Who loves ya baby?!
Well, I do...

Whenever I see Telly I always imagine him in the 80's doing casino Players Club TV commercials

YouTube - Telly Savalas Player's Club Card Ad from 1986

I like the Kojak figure. I plan on picking one up myself some day.

[AAAAA]

Great , I remember buying the accessory pack for 50 cents for him in 1980.
is he the wearing the blue suit or the jammes?

Hey Gorn! Nice find. Glad you scored a childhood memory. Those are ALWAYS priceless. Question - What kind of body does he have? Is that AHI? Kind of looks like it from the shots.

[toys2cool]

always cool to pick up something you had as a kid or always wanted

[HardyGirl]

Wow, that's cool! It's always nice to have a piece of your childhood back!

[Meule]

And where are you gonna put him, if I may ask?
I've seen your collection, there's no more room to display more stuff

His body falls in the Paco's type without rotating wrists.

Congrats. Childhood memories attached to toys are the Best

There's always room, Thomas.
I always use The Force to cram in just one....more....figure......

This Telly has his striped Pjs on. Ideal for catching bad guys off guard.
I'm not sure how the AHI body looks, might be one of those for Kojak.

Great score! I could even afford that deal.

I also like the Kojak figure and hope to own one some day. When I think of Telly Savalas, I think of the Player's Club commercial which reminds me of the spoof by Jim Carrey on In Living Color. "Who clubs ya, baby?"

[The Toyroom]

Nice score!

[Gorn Captain]

Glad to see old Telly still has fans.
I thought I was the only one.

Now let's looks for those elusive accessories like the "Full body cavity search playset" and "Transvestite hookers shake-down".....

Man, I can't wait to find those!

[starsky]

i've always wanted one too. but most of the time, he's missing his trademark lollipop.
