The world is finally (hopefully) safe from the evil space ape Skunkape, but now thousands of half naked Sam clones (doppelgangers) are terrorizing the city and they won’t stop until they have found all the ancient toys of power. What a night!

The real Sam and his buddy Max must find a way to stop the clones and rid the world of the evil Devil’s toy box once and for all!

The Mao figure is produced by Eye Scream, which specializes in high-quality collectible figures, usually of anime ladies who tend to wear outfits that show more panty than a Victoria’s Secret catalog.
