I just won a Duke Paint-A-Figurine on ebay and I noticed from the picture (I haven't received it yet) it had two holes punched into the card with a hole-punch. I thought this looked familiar so I looked at the picture of it on this site and sure enough--it looks like the same figure (based on where the holes are punched)! I also checked out my copy of Lee's Guide to Collecting Vehicles and Accessories and sure enough--the Duke Figurine's package has holes punched in the exact same location, leading me to believe it is the same figure. All of these similar pictures make me wonder--how rare is this stuff? I know the carded figures are fairly numerous but some of the Joe licensed products must be pretty rare as there seems to be far less collectors of those items. I know most of the pieces I aquire will remain in my collection for life and I wonder how many of you are like me. Has anyone else thought about this? I know there are some items I search for on ebay at least twice a week and I have NEVER seen them in the last 8 months. Anyway, I just want to get some other collectors' input on this. Thanks!
