Agreed; $50 is absolutely nutty.  I wonder if this stocking was official or from some ambitious retailer.

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.  :-"

I can only assume when he said "properly filled" that he didn't mean by a man or a tranny.  :lol:

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.
