=== Secondary Market Appearances ===
 
Copies of a production sample (and perhaps the prototype of the Boomer figure itself) have made way into the trading market. Asking prices for these figures range from $999.99 to $1,999.99 USD.
 
Circa 2019, the user "excelsiorauctions" offered an unpackaged prototype figure that may be the version seen at Toy Fair and used for solicitation.
