This one is one of your best! Thank for the info on Shindana. I never saw the Slade doll back in the days, but I do remember seeing their JJ doll and, of course, Dr J. I say "of course" because I lived in West Philadelphia and I think the figure came out right about the time Dr J joined the 76ers.

Gotta get me a Slade figure one of these days.

If I saw Slade out in the wild for a decent price, I'd have to pick him up. Just a very cool well-made figure. And good on Shindana for breaking those doors down.
