Here's a recent purchase: Canadian Dathon. This adds to the Australian version that I have, which has neither a pog nor a SkyBox card.

This was a figure that I never saw in stores back when it was new, so I didn't encounter one (American or Canadian) on the secondary market until like 1997 or something, with the SkyBox card of course. I think I saw one with a pog around 1997 or so, in a collectibles store in the American south, back when they were going for around $200.

I like price tags on figures, especially from obscure stores, so this one has 4 and the remains of a 5th one underneath that was torn off. Not a Zellers sticker anywhere in sight though!

Obviously the $7.99 price is in Canadian dollars, but I have seen 1993 figures sell for $7.99 in the U.S. back in the day: I saw an Adm McCoy figure in an FAO Schwartz for that amount in 1996 or something, which was a deeply, deeply crazy price at the time. Him and Scotty were the wildly overproduced and underpurchased figures of the 1993 lineup, but FAO Schwartz was easily the most expensive toy store around and I've only been there like three times back in the day because its selection was also awful.
