This figure was made by the company made famous for their Marvel Family statuettes (see items #2073-2076). Alley Oop figure is 5.25" tall and made from an unknown blend of resin-like materials. Flocking on head and trunks. Complete w/separate 2.25" long club that fits into the crook of his arm for display. Front of base has incised "Alley Oop" name while back of base has "NEA Service Inc. Comic Strip Distribution Syndicate" text and 1946 copyright. There are several very minor surface hairlines which are only noticeable when viewed closely and these in no way affect the piece's structural integrity. One of these surface hairlines runs vertically up the center of his chest and blends somewhat w/chest musculature. .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 four are known and only one other example is complete w/club. Unlike the Marvel Family of Kerr statuettes, no box was made for this figure but comes w/factory-altered box originally issued for Marvel Bunny but "Marvel Bunny" name has been inked out and "Alley Oop" name inked below it. Other end flap w/Kerr Co. details has been razored off as is the case w/many of these Kerr boxes. Box shows lt. aging/handling wear. Exc. A rare opportunity to obtain this much sought-after figure.
