I have a X-com Popper made by Microprose, i loved the games and bought him with the special offer with Appocalypse. I need some cash to buy some concert tickets. Anyone know how much he is worth on Ebay?

I guess you could make a few out of some plastic explosive for max realism...

These poppers were some of the early promotional merchandise that came with the game early during its release. Very exclusive if I'm not mistaken, so most of the world never quite got it. At least, I don't think so.
Of all the things in the game to make into a toy... I don't know what they'd go for, but the last time I saw any discussion on this ( 4- 5 years ago), they went for a pretty hefty price. Not sure what they'd go for now. - NKF -------------------- Current Avatar Source: Ich trage eine Wanne für einen Hut ... no actually that's not the title, but will do for now. Plus that's a Babelfish translation, so I have absolutely no idea what it's saying at the moment.

Wow, neat stuff! I didn't realize Microprose created an Apoc toy. How big is it? It's kinda hard to determine size from the photo, but it looks fairly small.

A few dozen make a better case for refining that third decimal place. They call me Zombie because I don't sleep, as I slowly struggle to climb this heap, of corpses, data points, and trials, but from the top - I'll see for miles! |

Not bad. It looked much smaller in the pic. If you do put this on eBay, give us a heads-up. I'd certainly like a Popper!
