Either way like I said the recent mail-away figure is nowhere near this thing in value but it was still really cool to finally have what was originally promoted.

Yeah, I have that figure too. It's actually a brand-new mold (it's a half-inch or so taller than the original) but it's otherwise identical in just about every respect. The only bummer is that the firing rocket is very long and sticks out the bottom of the backpack, but they included a second (non-firing) shorter rocket for display purposes. Great figure.
