I downloaded the vid LOOOL
a long time ago and I still fail to understand why
and he does have the prospector 
Outside of Kyle, has anyone ever seen these in person or online(outside of the super expensize ebay auctions)?
I really dont doubt Kyle seeing those.
Disney stores used to also carry the Jun Planning imported Nightmare Before Christmas dolls, so I know for a fact they import (as mentioned above, like sideshow does for hot toys) from Japan on certain things. The Jun Planning dolls were also high end dolls, for example the mayor I bought about 10 years ago was $60, but was 1:1 scale, and looked awesome.
I’m keeping my eyes out here in the US, checking goodwills, etc, online, craiglist, because I know someone had to buy a prospector at a point in time from there, on clearance that thinks "hell I’ll sell that old man doll that I got for $20) (crossing my fingers, hahaha)
You never know, that’s how Al found his. 
And the point I was trying to get at before was maybe the Prospector was a specialty item of some sort. I mean, the different box design was not carried over to any other characters, so maybe Prospector was a Disney Store item.
Dinoco, the box design was carried over to the other roundup characters. Ive seen them in some guys video on youtube. I can find the video if ya want
Yes please.
But are you sure it’s the same box design? There were two other boxes, one was similar to that, except it had a square window instead, and the other was in black and white.
its the exact same box as this one., He has woody and jessie in every box.
should be in this video
Wow, you’re right! They definately look the most authentic. I would love to display the Collection Woody in that box, but I have NEVER seen this variant up for auction.
Im seriously considering saving up for the prospector but i have no idea about the quality of the toy.
Try asking the guy with all the auctions, or the person with the huge collection videos.
He’s probably not the best person to ask, since, you know, he’s selling it. He going to want you to think its worth the money. He’s not going to tell you if it’s build quality is shoddy.
True, but your options are limited in this case. It’s better to get at least one person’s opinion, even if it is a little biased. But yeah, try the collector first, he seems friendly and says he accepts questions (even though he never answered mine).
Hmm, haven’t seen that color variation. I don’t think I’d want those though. its neat, don’t get me wrong, but for the money they cost, I’d want them in the normal colors.
Yeah Id like the normal colors too, although id settle just to have the stinky pete. Jeff said he bought his for 80 bucks. What the heck raised the price to 400???
has anyone had any success in finding these toys? I seem to recall some people looking for them but i wasnt sure if anyone found any online or not.
i’ve got the full collection back at home… there’s tis “colourful version” which has darker colour than the normal TSC colours… than there’s this “vintage version” which is more yellowish… n then there’s the “back and white version” which is black and white (and grey)… for each colour theme, there’s woody, jessie, bullseye n pete… that makes 12 dolls in total…
as a toy story super fan, i’m quite proud i’ve got all 12 dolls, which i find over years in hongkong and japan…
wasnt at home right now… maybe able to share some photos with you guys when i’m back home…
its a lot of money for that prospector i wish i had the money for it lol but sadly not
hi… i’m new but i have been reading the forums for a while now…
anyhow i came across thes while randomly looking on amazon, i know they’re figures and not toys/dolls, but i thought they look pretty cool nonetheless…
