Everybody do the Michigan Rag!

UPDATE: Managed to get a couple photos. Here's one of them: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/24531899/
I managed to get one of the official Michigan J. Frog mascot costumes from eBay for $200. And just today, it had arrived at my home. I'll try it on after I get it fixed and cleaned. Why is that? I'll explain.
According to the seller, it was used by the WB Network for multiple ad campaigns including the Dubba Dubba. It wasn't until years later when they issued a new costume. Since the costume I now have was used a lot, the network ended up spending the money to get the new costume. So instead of trashing the costume, it was taken out of retirement and used it for a Haunted House attraction and made Michigan more zombified. In other words, they managed to somehow abuse the costume with bloodshot eyes among others. Luckily it was kept in storage since then. When the WB Network closed down in 2006, both my costume and the other costume were remained in storage for the past ten years. No kidding.
It wasn't until last week when both of these costumes were being either auctioned or sold on eBay by the same seller. I was originally going to get the newer costume, but I backed out because of multiple bid bots. But all hope was not lost because I instead wanted to go for the other costume. And believe it or not, I was the only person to bid on the other costume. I think the reason why nobody wanted to bid on it because of the quality of the costume (mainly the bloodshot eyes). So on the final day of the auction, I managed to place my bid for the costume, and I managed to win the auction about a half hour later.
So now, the costume is safe in my own home ready to be properly taken care of and hopefully back to its normal self.
