I see people saying that a Turboman figure was already released. It was indeed. However, this is a replica of the prop used in the film, which is very different. The one released by Tiger was a little smaller, with very different and missing details.

Lol, that's pretty cool.
I think it would've been cool to release a version with modern articulation as well. Good luck! |

You are correct, Director for Jingle All The Way, Brian Levant allowed is to scan his original figures from the film. These will be identical to what was seen in the film down to the packaging

Okay, first of all, I am 100% behind this project existing.
But... I dunno about the $130 price tag... I get that it needs to be a bit expensive, seeing as we want higher detail than say, those Titan Heroes that Hasbro puts out, but I feel that a bit more explaination is needed as to what that cost goes to. Hyper articulation? Functionality? Electronics for voice quotes? Stuff like that.

Tiger Electronics released a 14" Talking TurboMan figure in 96. He looked pretty close to the figure in the movie, had light up features, a jet pack, a rocket launcher and a boomerang. They are pretty much always on eBay. They're actually rather pricey. I actually just picked one up at a local antique mall. I'm all for someone releasing a new one, but its not gonna be the first as this implied.

I'd forget how much I wanted this figure when I was little lol. Really hoping the kickstarter is a success.

Looks like Steve Buscemi. I always knew he needed his own action figure.

Hey there, I've received word that the turboman action figure project is still progressing but only available to members of the turboman fanclub. The person in charge rumourskywalker on instagram needs 49 more members to preorder in order to start production of the figures. I have his permission to share pictures of the prototype being made by the factory. These are the best quality you will be able to get your hands on. Even the figures in the movie don't compare as they were not articulated (except for the 24" version ) these guys will come in screen accurate packaging. Gold plated details really take it to the next level. Check out the fanclub page at and any questions please message rumourskywalker at who's ready to start saying "it's turbo time! " ? Spread the word and help get these made
