I was told that there had been no mini figure version of Mindbender back in the day. But now I stumble upon this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-GI-JOE-DR-MINDBENDER-MINI-PVC-FIGURE-/130683850940?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1e6d5d50bc#ht_500wt_689 So does anyone know the source of this? It doesn't appear to be a custom... |

He wasn't part of the 1988 micro figures: http://www.yojoe.com/archive/inserts/microfigures.shtml |

Is there a compendium of all these "minifigures" somewhere? |

He almost looks like an eraser. You haven't bought this yet? What gives? Edit: http://www.yojoe.com/archive/schoolsupp ... ser2.shtml http://www.yojoe.com/archive/schoolsupp ... ser3.shtml Neither are Mindbender but they look about the same style. |

It doesn't appear to be a custom... who cares where it's from, you NEED IT. Seriously, that's no '88 mini-figure, not with that top notch paint job. the minis Hasbro made didn't have half that paint apps or detail that enigmatic Mindbender has. |

If its something fake or custom, I DON'T need it. I'm curious where it came from though, too |

There's some old threads on YoJoe and Hisstank about them. No one's quite sure where the Mindbender is from, but it seems to be official. Doesn't mean this one is, but it's a cool item, and relatively rare from what I can tell. |

Looks like an Eraser like those Beav linked to. |

Yep, I'd say Beav had it correct. There was such a huge volume of other licensed items back then, it's hard to remember it all. But that still seems to me like what is missing these days. Lack of just flooding kids minds with merchandise and having them literally get hit from all directions like they did back then. But yeah, eraser. |

almost looks like it could be a combat heroes, but they didn't make a mindbender... or else that line would still be going strong. |
