@Thomas B: I will pick up a Gray Ghost if I find him, but even as a non-moc, non-JLU collector, I have to admit that the exclusive packaging is 50% of the appeal.
I had that Turtles Pasta Shredder. Never even thought much of it; I just liked Super Shredder and liked him in black better than I did in purple. I probably sold it at a yard sale years ago when I was younger.
good list… though truthfully, those kinds of things don't hook me as a collector, that there's a limited number of something.
if the savage he-man never has been officially confirmed by either wonder bread or mattel that they're responsible, does that count as an actual exclusive? if he's a bootleg or a knockoff or whatev, is that fair in the sense that the other entries are "legit"?
@dayraven: That's a fair point, and one I wrestled with, but in the end I decided I was being too nitpicky about these lists. If I'd skipped Savage He-Man I would have had to explain why he wasn't there. Given that Mattel isn't able to definitely say he wasn't an exclusive, I felt reasonable in including him.
My brother picked up pepsi optimus prime at a yard sale for five bucks in 88. I think he still has it!
I'd have given "Wonder bread" He-man a lesser spot and given number designations to the items by known production numbers. Anit-Monitor at number five (I'm almost certain five, not eight where made…)
Bart at number 3 and so on. Rumor has it five spirit of Grayskulls are known to have produced by Mattel.
I am currently at my parents house helping them clean out their crawlspaces (mostly grabbing some of my old stuff) and I found the Super Shreddar from the Chef Boyardee… Mint and complete!
So, if anyone wants to make an offer, I'm listening. *waits*

Great list there! I didn't even know about some of those!
I wouldn't have expected Savage He-Man to be #1. Even with customs floating around, he's not that rare to obtain nowadays.

Can Mattel make JLU GL figs of Hal now considering the movie coming out?
Dead Man Walking
Nice list. Fortunately, I can live w/o all of those figures, thought the Spirit of Gskull would be nice.

I didn't know there were only 100 of the Hals made. I wonder what the production was on this year's Gray Ghost.

@Lemonjuice_McGee:
not sure but the difference is that GG will be mass produced with different packaging so fans can actually buy him thankfully.

@PrfktTear – Yeah, the G.G, packaging is very cool. The black and red color scheme would be well served for a regular Batman line.
