    $1.00 Thrift Store Score!

    Found these 3 gems today for $1.00
    (Trek chair not included)



    On the Left a 1974 Azrak/Hamway Figure, Adventure Man Karate.
    Center 1986 Rainfall Bible Figure, Esther.
    On the Right a 1986 Rainfall Bible Figure, Joseph.







    Esther is missing her left leg.
    Joseph is all loosey goosey.

    The Azrak/Hamway Adventure Man, Karate was wearing Barbies panties!



    All 3 figures were in a ziplock bag wrapped tightly with packing tape.

        I also have a nude Deborah that I picked up on ebay. And I found Ruth on her beat up original card at another thrift store late last year. Without trying I now have 4 of the 12 Bible figures!

            Great score! I landed a wild Zira once and it was a thrill.

                  I'm thinking Esther's Head on a new Retro Wonder Woman body for the start of my Vampirella custom!

                          In the last 2 months I have visited 3 stores. I found
                          3 Rainfall Bible figures (Ruth on her Original Card)
                          1 Azrak/Hamway figure
                          1 MEGO Jordache accessory set (on original card)
                          and a boxed set of M.U.S.C.L.E. Men figures(24 of 28).

                          Just dumb luck I guess.

                            Oddly enough I found Esther at a Peddler's Market on Monday. She had Barbie clothes on and was $2, but I thought she'd be good for customs. I'm thinking about making a Silver Age Batwoman or Earth Two Huntress from her.

                            But making a Bible figure into Vampirella? For shame!

                              I thought about that but the long rooted black hair and those big eyes just have the look!
