I did a google base (froogle) search for MacGyver toy figure and see ebay auctions for this and one with a car.

I just bought one of these on EBay not too long ago. MacGyver was apparently popular enough in Brazil for there to be a whole set of action figures... who knew! The one I got is a little worse for the wear than the one pictured above, but it's still a fun item.

I saw this at a friends house just this past Monday. He bought it off ebay. He said it was quite possibly "the worst action figure ever" because it didn't "do" or come with anything. And I rebutted saying Macguyver doesn't need gadgets because he just makes them all.
