I see the Hornet a good deal, there are even three on Ebay right now, I'd say Cap was tougher by a long shot.

I have been Figure collecting for over 20 years... but the last 12 months its gone over the top.

In the last 3 months I have got 5 AJ's and at least 10 costumes :) (which I never had when i was a kid) and am getting Retro Star Trek.
My main Figure Collecting is the Doctor Who ones.

But I have 2 questions...

My last AJ i got has a darker more reddish face.. is this normal, as it was suppose to be a mint in box (never opened). (it is a bearded one, but the body is a normal T2 body.

And my first new AJ (bearded) has a pale mark on its neck (like a birthmark for figures)
(this was also a MIB one too) (I try to get MIB ones).

And I cannot show photos as i dont have a camera... sorry.

If the hair's red ,there a lot variaions in hair. Black Blonde and brown on the norms.
also it normal if the flesh tone is reddish .yeah there some with that pigment variation.skin tone can vary.
as for the brith mark on the neck if its blue is the chemical change in the skin pigment do to the thinning colorization pigments in that area during the roto casting.

Had the chance to get the full set of 4 in one go recently, missing accessories but I'm not really too worried :-)

1979 Takara Japan 8-Inch Star Wars vinyls:

Picked this up last year too, it's my oldest super hero item by a long shot.

Early 1940's Sunday Mail (Australia) Superman Comics Club pinback, the earliest piece of Aussie Superman merchandise I know of.

I don't think they're super-valuable or anything, but I haven't seen them come up for sale in the original package very often.

Never seen them before...but you got me drooling right now...

Man...it's amazing how the Japanese pile up all kinds of accessories to all their toys...they are the best at it.

What a great item.

The always awesome ScottA pointed me in the direction of an ebay auction for this baby. Although I lost the auction, our pal Rudi contacted me to say he had another he was about to list, and so here you go!

http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/file...ior_111985.jpg

I really like the packaging on this. The thin borders and circular vignettes appeal to the Mego fan in me. Since Baravelli is involved, it makes it all the more fitting!

The figure itself is just a perfect representation of the Batman Jr design.

http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/file...ack_506805.jpg

The back is really cool, but puzzling. I'm not sure what figures they made in this line besides Superman and Batman. I passed on Supes, because they used the same arms as Batman and gave Supes white gloves(!?!). I THINK I remember seeing a Flash go over my budget years and years ago on ebay, but I'm not sure.

Anyone have any more info on these?

Chris

Beautiful!

You passed on the little Supes??? :terror:

Thanks buddy...it's a great thread.

Wow Will, I missed seeing those Takara Star Wars figures first time around. Big congrats, that set would certainly be tough to put together, so it's great to get them all in one shot like that. I want to pick up some loose examples myself one day, especially Vader. If you ever upgrade and want to get rid of the extras, let me know. ;)

They were all from an auction run by Vectis (Vectis Home Page - Vectis Toy Auctions
). They specialise in Toy auctions, mainly diecast and trains but every now and then they do TV related stuff. That auction which I won those goodies from was the best I've ever seen them do, my eyes popped when I saw what was on offer!

Me too! I was an under-bidder on some of the stuff Bill won, it was a feast for the senses. I picked up a Palitoy Robin so can't complain!

There was going to be a second lot from the same guy, not sure if that ever happened or not?

Not yet Will. I asked them about it at a toy fare last October, they said they have some of the next batch in but hadn't catalogued it yet. So keep your eyes peeled on the site over the next few months.

Glad you got in there eventually, let's hope there's something worth bidding on in upcoming auctions. If any decent tv related auctions come up, I'll let you know.

That's a cool Mattel Koenig, that line never seems to get a lot of love. i personally think they're pretty cool figures with great packaging.

I recently picked up a pair of AHI Monster variants:

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/...7f1cbca6_o.jpg
These are the "Cupped Hand" Frankenstein and the Jointed Wrist Dracula. Both are in nice shape. Dracula is complete, but Frankenstein apparently mugged someone and stole their running shoes ;)

Nice pick ups!! Two great AHI variants there. Congrats.

Turns out I was mistaken. Apparently the cupped hand AHI figures were released with those goofy athletic shoes, since the regular shoes and boots didn't fit their bigger feet:

For anyone wondering if there are still fun items on ebay look no further:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/Sowth/P2220027.jpg

It's genuine 70's old store stock from a former travelling salesman.

I couldn't stop smiling as I opened up thie package. :smiley1:

Cool specs Will! Hope you're not going to be wearing them out on the street too often ;). I always saw those in comic ads but never got around to buying a pair.

As a kid I was always torn between my skepticism that there was no way those glasses could logically work, and my desire to see naked ladies. Logic won out, and I never bothered to buy a pair, but I remember really wishing that such a wonderful invention actually existed. :smiley1:
