Found a loose Old b.o.b today, no stand. Worth anything?

A member requested the "find story".
Not terribly exciting I'm afraid. I took a couple boys from the grouphome I work at out flea marketing this morning. First stop was a place I always pass up because it's mostly the same junk. But I stopped cuz Nick wanted yu-gi-oh cards and he thought this place would have them.First table I look at has a medium sized cardboard box filled with toys (fisher price cars and accessories, pvc garfields and those 80's McDonalds little muppets, tons of them).
But, as I'm looting to the bottom I see some gi joe accessories (snake eyes wolf timber, junk yards dog Mutt, Ship wrecks parrot, the mpp's dog, a bobcat? etc). So I start pulling out each item I'm interested in. A Blackstar goblin, a couple Battle Beasts, Mask figures, some cute old toys that look like 60's crackjack prizes etc etc etc.
$5 for the box. I was thinking of offering 25 cents per toy that I wanted, but it was about $3.50 so I just bought the whole box hoping I'd find some gi joe weapons at the bottom. Got it home and poured it out and there was Old b.o.b.

Not exciting? Don't tell me you didn't run around the house screaming with B.o.b. held high.
I know I would have.

That's a awesome find Andy, congrats! It was real luck the way that worked out. Did you double check the box for a Humanoid?
