I bought one of these two years ago off of eBay for about $30. It definitely is a 97 Rubies. It's great for a kid, but not for anyone over, say, 13.
With a little work you can have a very happy child running around on Halloween.
Here's my 6-year-old with the custom I did for him.

A little time and plenty of patience, you can have a great bucket.
