On this day, July 27th, back in 1940, one of the most important cartoon characters of all time made his "official" debut in "A Wild Hare."
Yep, today is Bugs Bunny's 76th birthday! In honor of the wascally wabbit, here are some fun Bugs Bunny collectibles!

About 25 years ago Tyco came out with this Bugs figure that talked when you pushed buttons on his back. One still in the box in working condition will run you a good $50 on eBay.
That's all for today, folks. Happy Birthday Bugs!
