Jingle All The Way – Turbo Man Electronic Figure by Funko

Funko Turbo Man Reissue 1

Photos from @totaltoyrecon on Instagram (and an eBay Auction) have started showing up online for a surprise new figure from Funko. It looks like they have obtained the license for the classic Tiger Electronics Turbo Man 13″ Tall Figure. The figure is based on the highly sought after toy from the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad movie Jingle All The Way. The figure was originally released back in 996, and the new Funko version looks to be an exact reissue (at least very close) of that figure.

The Turbo Man is marked as a Walmart Exclusive. It is not listed online at this time. Word is the figure is priced at $35. Check out a few pics after the jump.

    Meh, call me when they have the rights to make a replica of the movie version Plus, weird that it's releasing during the summer...

    Okay, that's a surprising release (especially this time of year as noted above) but being a re-pop of the Tiger version is both disappointing and confusing. They're a Hasbro subsidiary and presumably if anyone still has the old tooling it'd be them. Did Funko buy the old molds off Hasbro or recreate them?

    That said, the old ones go for truly silly prices on eBay, high enough that I've been tempted for years to part with mine, so this is probably a very welcome release for a few people

    If they couldn't do the actual movie prop, why bother with this ugly piece of shit? It looks like a Chinese KO figure.

    Urgh... there goes the value of the original that I spent years tracking down for a semi-decent price. Well, I guess I could always get another to open and play with.

    @Dolemite Well this IS what DID come out in 1996 and to make the movie accurate one they'd need Arnold Schwarzenegger's likeness rights

    Nope, the movie accurate one doesn't use Arnie's likeness. Trust me, I'm a Turboman aficionado

    I remember having the original one that first came out but it came with a boomerang and disc launcher. Eh if I happen to come across this when I'm at Walmart I might get it.

    Been awhile, didnt think the original release had the projectile launching gimmick. If that's the case then shouldnt be too sore for those who got the original since I have a feeling with how rules are in recent years this would just be light and sounds only. I'll still wait for someone to make one with all the bells and whistles. One of my favorite Xmas classic films when Arnie wanted to show is comedic talents.
