2004 Arnold Schwarzenegger Montage Limited Edition Framed Signed Print by Nick Shotwell
$95.00 $85.50
Year: 2004
Artist: Nick Shotwell
Condition: Near mint condition print
First edition vintage collectable
This limited edition signed print of Arnold Schwarzenegger is drawn by illustrator Nick Shotwell. The story reads like a fairytale, but it’s true, and it goes like this. Schwarzenegger was at a prominent bodybuilding and sports event in Columbus, Ohio. Artist Nick Shotwell attended the event and brought along a montage of portraits he had drawn of his idol, hoping Schwarzenegger would autograph it. Somehow, he managed to get backstage, and he stationed himself beside Schwarzenegger’s waiting limousine.
Not only did he get an autograph, but he got a call from Schwarzenegger’s secretary a week later asking if he could create some more artwork for him. “It was amazing,” recalls Shotwell. “He was my number-one idol and it meant a lot to me that he thought I was a talented artist. Had I not met him, I don’t know if I would have had the confidence to believe I could do art for a living and become a medical animator.”
The print measures 18 1/4″ x 24 1/4″ and is in near mint condition. It comes in a basic black metal frame with plexiglas that has some signs of age, including a few dings and scratches. Would look best re-framed but the current one has helped protect the artwork.
Photos are of actual item. Climate controlled storage and minimally handled. Sold as is. Only one available.

1999 Austin “Danger” Powers Ultra-Cool Talking Action Figure v1: “Horny” in Package
Year: 1999
Manufacturer: McFarlane Toys
Condition: Mint condition in mint package
First edition vintage collectable
Yeah baby! It’s the one and only Austin Powers, nearly naked with a chest full of curly hair. Wearing only Union Jack underwear, Austin is totally shagadelic! This toy made the news in 1999 when some found the text on the package and the randy phrases a little too “adult” for children. There were multiple versions. This one has Austin saying “Do I make you horny baby, do I?” on the front, and includes a sexy dictionary, along with a mirror, a martini glass and olive on a stirrer. The martini glass and olive stirrer were very small parts, and removed from later versions because of the choking hazard. A second version was made with different phrasing (see other model by clicking here).
Austin is about 6” tall, and in his original packaging, which is in mint condtion. Mike Meyers provides the voice, which is in the base. The tab has never been pulled on either version, so it should speak when removed, but it’s not guaranteed. (Why would you ever open it anyway baby?)

1999 Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura 12” Action Figure in box
Year: 1999
Manufacturer: Formative Intl. Co. Ltd.
Condition: Mint condition figure
First edition vintage collectable
Who would ever think a Governor from Minnesota would have his own action figure? California’s Governor maybe, but Minnesota? When your previous career was as a professional wrestler and movie actor, anything is possible, right Arnold? Jessie had a role in the 1987 Schwarzenegger movie Predator, before serving as Minnesota’s 38th Governor from 1999 to 2003.
This is a unique collectable and probably helped get Jesse elected. The Ventura action figure was sold to help raise money and awareness of the candidate during the election. The quality is amazing, with a good likeness of Ventura, wearing a black suite, white shirt and tie and is fully articulated. He’s never been removed from his box except to photograph.
The box is in near mint condition and measures 13” x 6 1/2” x 3”. The box is a window design which opens up to a big picture and logo of Jesse.

1993 Fred Flintstone Talking Plush mint in box
Year: 1993
Manufacturer: Mattel
Condition: Mint figure and box

The box is 18” x 9” x 4” and in excellent condition. The edges of the packaging look rough in the photos, but the graphics were created that way on purpose for an authentic “prehistoric” look. Includes the original instruction booklet. Photos are of of actual item. Climate controlled storage and minimally handled. Sold as is. Only one available.
