I noticed that one too. Interesting piece but hell, $50?
Agreed; $50 is absolutely nutty. I wonder if this stocking was official or from some ambitious retailer.
Nifty, but yeah, $50? :-k
That's a nice find. But yeah, like everyone else said, $50 is a little high for Bonk Stickers and some TG-16 packaging.

Indeed. The only way I'd pay that much for stockings is if they're a properly filled pair of fishnets. :-"
and a nice chick wearing them! :evil:

I can only assume when he said "properly filled" that he didn't mean by a man or a tranny. :lol:
I just wanna get my hands on some of that candy :-&
Ha ha lol man I saw this one too, couldnt beleive my eyes. I can indeed confirm that these were authentic TG16 items. I remember seeing them in Fred Myers when i was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I only have a few peices my self of cool turbo swag, I have the Splatterhouse shoelaces, a Devil's Crush tshirt(size XL) and the big foldout poster that was originally included inside the box w/brand new TG-16 systems. I almost bid on those Air Zonk binoculars that showed up last year but changed my mind. I still really want to get one of those cool( :roll:)neon TG16 hats just for its dorky nostalgia of all things 80's(fasion wise) and a Splatterhouse shirt.
Well, just when I thought I had seen it all, a candy stocking comes along.
The sticker sheet is not unique to the stocking, but it was nice to include.
The thing that I am most excited about is Santa Bonk. He's kind of creepy. I wish I could get a nice scan of the printed greeting. At least the seller (who I've purchased from before, back in the day) took great photos.
Good find, though. Thanks for sharing.
