Item Description
This figure was made by the company famous for their Captain Marvel family statuettes (see previous item #2160). This figure is 5.25" tall made of an unknown blend of resin-like materials. Has flocking on head and trunks. Complete with separate 2.25" tall club that fits into his curved arm for display. Front of base has incised name "Alley Oop" while back of base has name of comic strip distribution syndicate "Copr. 1946 NEA Service Inc." Figure had some very minor flaking to left arm where the club fits and this has been professionally touched up restoring the piece to its original appearance. The same has been done to the club which had some flaking/chips. Otherwise 100% complete and original with no additional touch-ups. There are several very minor surface hairlines which are only noticeable when viewed closely and in no way affect the piece's integrity, all remains structurally sound. One of these surface hairlines runs vertically across center of his chest, left leg has .25" hairline on back of leg, right leg has .5" hairline that starts below knee and wraps around to the back. Again, these are exceedingly minor and piece retains a bright, clean appearance. Still displays Exc. This is one of the very rarest comic character figures, only 4 are known and only 1 other complete with the club. A rare opportunity to obtain this much sought after figure.
