Around the time of this figures release, my buddies and I were working hard on our first stop motion animated series, Animation Creation. I was buying a lot of toys at the time specifically for their accessories. We needed lot of props for the show. J. Jonah Jameson's chair was used by my character in the commentary portion of every episode. JJJ being a normal looking civilian was an added bonus because he could then be used in the show as such. Along with props we also needed characters for the segments of the show. Most of the time the bits didn't call for Super Heroes and Soldiers. In Episode 3 "Fly Me to the Moon", Brian was looking for some more characters to add to his on going shoot 'em up bit "Brian's Reservoir Dogs" that featured his set of McFarland Reservoir Dogs toys. Bringing a pointing finger to a gun fight isn't the best idea.

This is a extremely nice figure and i remember seeing it when it first came out but i wasn't collecting toys then so i never picked it up. I liked the desk you were talking about that came with it.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had photographed him with his accessories, but they are stored in separate boxes and so I didn't go digging. I was photographing the Marvel box at the time. I keep a lot of my animating "props" in their own box.
