Title: Magnolia frog on ebay.....FAKE?
Post by: Girlonthemoon on March 09, 2003, 04:28:39 AM
While running through check of all things PTA on ebay, I came across a funny thing. I can't quite believe this a genuine article...!

Not interested in bidding, but what do you guys think?

When the movie was released, a whole bunch of them were being sold on eBay so this may be someone reselling it. It also comes with a certificate of authenticity so I'd say it's an actual prop from the movie.

Cool! But wouldn't you say this one looks different than the others? It totally looks like the dude's made that himself! LOL!

Cheers for clearing that up sphinx. Dunno why, but I was under the impression that the frogs were perishable...ho-hum

I wouldn't call it a 'a stupid plastic frog,' I think a lot of attention was put into making these frogs, and they are a unique collectable. Kind of a piece of movie history.

I have one of these ebay frogs. My buddy bought it for me last Christmas (2002). When I opened the present, it scared the shit outta me, cos I mean, hell, it looked like he just killed a huge frog and wrapped it up. Then I realized what exactly it was...
