I've been on a huge 70s DC kick lately, so I've been tracking down a lot of stuff.Quote:

I think I'm missing just ONE piece right now, and that's one of the "Brave and the Bold" figures that came out this year.
FINALLY completed my Super Powers Hall of Justice this week.
I had been looking for the computer console base for almost two years, when a friend of mine (A prolific SP collector, with one of the biggest collections in our hobby) acquired a lot of beater figures, and a partially complete HOJ.
he offered me the control panel base for free. Which I graciously accepted, not knowing that it had a cardboard graphic taped to the bottom.
well, when it arrived, the graphic was not there, but he happened to have it, so he sent it along this week with a carded Robin I purchased from him!
it's great to finally have this thing complete!, almost Every SP item I own now, is complete and loose. I still need WW's lasso, but I'm in no hurry for it. This line is INCREDIBLY hard to find parts for. And I don't really understand why.
took me four years to find a replacement lantern for Hal, took me three to find a Batman with a cape that wasn't faded or stained, and it's taken me two years to complete my HOJ.
all three are far too long in my opinion, and from now on, if it ain't complete, I ain't buying it! :D
Guess I'll never own a USS Flagg, as I simply don't have the patience to deal with THAT level of frustration!
picked this up today. Anybody know what it's worth?

Had one as a kid. Took me forever to find one, because I couldn't remember what they were called. Never saw any photos of them, ran into them at toy shows, etc. Random "candy robot" type searches on eBay finally paid off.
Just another company cashing in on the 70's Star Wars craze.
I just got a vintage Ideal Captain Action in the purple variant suit. Sword and gun had some minor melt marks, but overall he's pretty awesome.

I don't see ANY melt marks on the weapons in my lot above.
the one sword has a broken tip, but the CA Gun and unbroken sword don't seem to be damaged aside from the obvious paint loss.
that Dr. Evil gun is amazing, I even thought about keeping it, because it's got more detail than my PM one, but I don't want the hassle of trying to assemble an Ideal Dr. Evil

Never heard that variation before. How do you tell its hollow cheeks? Cool pickups. Always loved the artwork on the star wars cards.
It's the cheek tubes above the mouth. Usually they are rounded off on the ends (like on the head). This little variation has the indentation to make it look more like a hollow tube. Rebelscum.com: Vintage Star Wars Photo ArchivesQuote:
