  • Weirdly cute, this yellow, dog-sized critter was a gift to Olive Oyl from her Uncle Ben. Segar described Jeep's magical powers as being the result of having a "fourth-dimensional brain." Able to answer questions regarding the past, present, or future, he was, unlike other Segar fantasy creatures, a good little guy with a happy-go-lucky demeanor. Jeep lived on a diet consisting entirely of orchids. He had the power to disappear and re-appear in a different location, making him one of the earlier comic-strip advocates of teleportation. Sculpted by Yoe! Studios, each statue comes packaged in a full-color tin box with pinback button and booklet as extras. Each piece is limited to only 600 numbered copies, so allocation may occur.
