I have no idea what they're worth. The seller has $49.99 BIN on each loose with no launchers.

Anyone have more info on them? They seem cheap enough to start a decent collection.

I got a Frankenstein MIB last month, it's such a cool toy. Sadly, the wheels on these melt (just like Captain Action stuff) so I can't ever use it.

I'd be interested to know who else was in the line.

I have to agree. I think they are very Very cool.

I remember you posting those before Brian, but prior to that, I'd never seen them. Did they make a Wolfman?

The hard plastic riders are precursors to the early Team America figures, which also recycled their Evel Kneivel line.

The three pictured in the ads are the only three that were ever made. As Brian mentioned, they tend not to age well, so they function better as shelf-sitters than as toys now.

Those are very cool pieces..I think they only made 3 or 4..they are around,not in abundance but they are around and $49 seems to be a deal just to get them added to any collection since the line was so short of characters.
