[IDENTIFICATION HELP] Crypt Keeper figure in robes holding a PlayStation game book — promotional item?
Hey everyone! I recently found this Crypt Keeper figure in my collection and I can't find any information about it online.
It appears to be the standard "Ace Novelty 1994 Crypt Keeper (Robe)" figure, but with one major difference: the book he's holding is open and features "real PlayStation 1 game covers" inside (visible titles include what appear to be PS1 horror/action games).
It also comes with a separate skull accessory on stone.
Details:
- Approximately 20-25 cm tall
- Resin/vinyl construction, hand-painted
- Grey hair, brown robes
- Book with PS1 game covers
- Skull accessory
- No visible brand markings found
This makes me think it could be a rare Sony PlayStation promotional item distributed at gaming events or as press gifts in the mid-to-late 1990s.
Has anyone ever seen this variant before? Do you have any information about its origin or value?
