Right after A Muppet's Christmas Carol my favorite holiday movie has to be the 1995 classic Jingle All the Way starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
For those unfamiliar with the plot, Arnie plays a forgetful dad that waited until Christmas Eve to pick up the hottest toy of the year, a Turbo Man action figure. Turbo Man is the titular hero from his own TV show that you know is totally adapted from a Japanese Toku series. Tiger Electronics released a figure that Christmas to tie in with the movie release. I picked this one up at a flea market and it was super beat up. A coat of primer, Krylon Red, Krylon 18K gold, and then some Gundam markering later, and this guy is looking better than ever. |

I'm saying in theory, not specifically. In the "Jingle All the Way" universe it's an American Live-Action show in the vein of Power Rangers. Odds are in their world, it was adapted from a Japanese series.
That comment was all speculation and nothing serious. |

That looks great! I've always wanted to find a Turbo Man but I've never seen one in person.
