Yep, have had mine for awhile now. Feel like it's almost a must for Eagle owners lol

The Rough Riders ones are cooler! :) Lights that actually light up and they are battery powered and can move on their own. Pretty neat! Plus I found one that's almost a match to my car!

Still no real stompers displayed. I put up some pictures of mine on the facebook group. They are much larger than a matchbox car and they have a battery inside them with headlights that light up.

You usually see Lime green ones and very rarely you'll see the red and black ones. I lusted for a red and black one for a long time because it matches my real SX4 perfectly. I've got two red ones now and at least one of all the others.

The black and orange "74" are about half the size and are actually Stomper McDonalds toys. The brown one is a stomper knockoff and not nearly as nice as the genuine deal, but the same size.

The best part is the "500 HP" on the fender.  Any Eagle owner knows that's a slight exaggeration.  :P

I had a few Stompers as a kid back in the early '80s, and I'm quite sure they're still in my dad's basement somewhere.  I think had a Chevy Nomad, Chevy Scottsdale, Dodge Warlock, and Jeep Honcho.  I knew about the Eagle but didn't actually have it.  I guess that would have been my one shot at becoming the original owner of an Eagle.

I have the FSJ Stompers. Even took one out of the package to play with. (I plan to recolor it anyways)
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
