    Ah, Filmation Flash Gordon--that is a line I overlooked, was it '80s? At any rate, that is a line I will re-collect. It's awesome.

    (And Mudd, that custom Ming & Flash are wonderful.)
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      Wow, what a great collection, and a great picture. Thanks for that.

          Those Flash Gordon ones do look really great, I totally missed those figures originally.

          I recently watched the Flash Gordon (Filmation) cartoon on DVD.

            While I did have some of the LJN D&D Figures, Strongheart, Kelek and Melf/Paralay , Warduke and The Bronze Dragon, I wish I had gotten the whole line. The Fortress of Fangs was cool as hell. But that was near the end of my childhood toy collecting days and I was pretty old even then being a 15 year old when they first came out. Wish I still had the ones I did get too.

              I had owned a number of pieces for most of these, like Sectaurs and Crystar, but never for completion. I can't think of one toy line as a kid I bought looking for completion.

              The two I missed out on - Inhumanoids and Zoids.

                  I definitely would have collected the Mattel Flash Gordon figures, the Kenner Indiana Jones line and the Remco Universal Monsters 3.75 inch line if I'd ever seen them in stores as a kid.
                  Still mean to pick those up some day.

                      I collected strictly vintage super heroes figures for a while and ignored Gi Joe, MOTU, etc. There are a good dozen He-man figures I'd like to get and display mostly the first and final wave. I had some of the middle wave figures as a kid (moss man, rockon, roboto, fisto, etc) and oddly enough those don't really pull me in.
