Oscar Goldman visits Kenner (gets briefcase)

[RSS]

OK, so apparently actor Richard Anderson visited Kenner headquarters in 1977 and they presented him with a life sized version of Oscar Goldman's exploding briefcase!

So that means, that (hopefully) in Richard Anderson's house, he has a 1/1 scale version of one of the greatest action figure accessories ever made.

I simply have to know where this is, I need to see this. I have a new mission in life, right after i lie down.....

That's just awesome beyond belief.

He really should have worn a hideous plaid sport coat and green turtleneck to commemorate the occasion, though.

Man, Kenner was just up the road from me (about an hour). If only I'd been 10 years older...!!!

That's fascinating because I saw an interview with him about six months ago and he was talking about how he had received his only boxed figure from a fan. That makes me fear that perhaps he did not keep this since he seems to talk so much about his figure yet never shows this to anyone. It could be in the hands of a collector after all these years. Imagine the money he could have commanded?

Awesome!

UPDATE: Thanks to Ann on our Facebook page (like us!), we've cracked the case. Turns out, it still exists and was auctioned off in 2013 to a collector. Nice to know it's still around and being looked cared for. It's also kind of refreshing that I didn't know about the auction before hand because that sort of thing would haunt me....

Coolest thing I read in a while, and hilarious commentary by Brain mainly because he was serious.

[HardyGirl]

That's extremely awesome!
