Dr. Evil Pinky Ring

As Seen In:    Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
Time Spent:    None. I purchased this at Spencer Gifts.
Date Added:    1998?

This is an off the shelf (or "over the counter", depending on who you ask, baby) ring that was pretty common during the Austin Powers marketing blitz. The company that made these has since gone out of business. They also offered a miniature Jumbo-Jet, Austin’s “male” symbol necklace, and a couple of other equally goofy items.

According to the packaging, the ring is cast off one of the rings used in the movie. I guess that makes it pretty accurate. It’s actually pretty nice. Compared to the fan made one, I’d say it’s about equal. What the fan made one has in cleanliness, this one has in authentic-ness. (if that’s even a real word)
