Toht made Trench Coats fashionable in Raiders of the Lost Ark !

YEP.....there it is. Toht. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Trenchcoats.
 

First off, this is a nice figure. Well made, detailed and check out the card art!




The backer selling the ROTLA wares of the year....




and that little gun.......


That gun......My Dad warned me not to open it until we got home. Of course I didn't listen and it fell into the backseat cracks of a 70 something station wagon.......truth be told, I'd still open it.
 
But not this one! Now, you might think a dude dressed like he's going to the office was pretty boring for a kid but I put this guy to alot use! I only had Toht, Indy and the Cairo Swordsman so there wasn't much Lost Ark play but Toht was drafted into Cobra petty early. He worked really well as a spy and the Trech Coat got alot of use. He could always double as a informant or a person of interest.
 
Not bad for a guy whose name wasn't even mentioned in the movie.
(Pronounced Tod; German word for Death) - Thanks IMDb!
 
....and the actor, Ronald Lacy, had to wear that leather Trench Coat in the heat of Tunisia. Now thats a dedication to Fashion!
