Black History Month
The Shindana had created two sports stars during the time. They were OJ Simpson and Dr. J. I was finally able to purchase the Dr. J action figure 2 years ago at a reasonable price. The downside was that the box was not in great shape and he did not stay in the box.
Julius Erving nicknamed, Dr. J played basketball from 1971 to 1987. He retired from the Philadelphia 76ers. He is my favorite basketball player. I wish that they would do a series of old timers in 12". I can hope.
That's a handsome doll. Pity Shindana did not make him 12" tall - then again, think how many collectors would have been after him then.
ReplyDeleteThey did a wonderful job on his sculpt.
ReplyDeleteI have Shindana's Dr. J. and O.J. They did a great job capturing their likeness.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a major crush on Dr. J.

I think most women had a crush on him.
