The Gobbledy Gooker

 The Gobbledy Gooker

Mattel WWE



    Mattel serves up quite a Thanksgiving feast with this "Jaw-Dropping Debuts" two-pack.  Of course, we get a great first-appearance Undertaker as the dressing, but the main course is the Gobbledy Gooker.    




It's a crime the likes of Johnny Knoxville, Zodiac, and the Shockmaster got figures before this one.  He's a 24/7 champ, for crying out loud!  And even a spectacular fail like this turkey is, he definitely stands out in memory. 


He's appropriately goofy and brightly colored.  Mattel did a great job on the rubbery overlaid costume pieces.  And just look at those feet!



The accessories really take it the extra mile.  Who would have expected his giant egg?  Or an alternate head featuring his modern look?

The Gooker is a welcomed obscurity on my WWE shelf.  He can also stick around and hang with my growing collection of holiday figures.
