    Doll Show haul today

    I felt kinda strange going to a Doll Show today, without "Toy" or "Action Figure" in the name, but i'm glad i did! I probably saw more Mego at the show today than i have at any other local show i've attended. I also figured something out..... for the most part, nobody there cared about the Mego and other action figures because all the little old ladies were focused on Barbie and Madame Alexander . Anyway, on to the loot.


    Posted this guy up in another thread, but for those of you that didn't see it there, here's Captain Mercury.


    Playing Mantis Captain Action- He just looked lonely there amongst all the dolls, so i rescued him. If anyone has some extra accessories for him, give me a shout.


    My AJ was needing some boots.... and look what else i found in the baggie full of misc. shoes and boots! Do ya'll think that pair of black hero boots could be the AJ fisherman skinny boots?


    Couldn't pass up this pair... they needed a new home.

    And lastly, probably my favorite score of the day-

    Big Josh- loose, complete, and pretty minty..... just a couple little melts on his legs.


    Big Josh reeling in the big catch.


    Big Josh will have some tall fish tales to tell around the camp fire!

    That Captain Mercury figure is cool - never saw one before. Who made it/when was it made? I will have to hunt one down for sure...

              There is something very unsettling about Big Josh. No man should be making eye contact with you when he's bringin' in a large fish.

                    Yeah, he does look like he belongs singing with the Village People.

                          Nice haul! The Captain Mercury figure is odd and cool. I've never seen one.

                          I've found luck at Barbie/doll shows my wife has been too. Got some nice Megos and parts for cheap. Like you said, the ladies usually don't seem to care for the stuff. One old lady had Mego Superman and Spider-Man with their costumes reversed. I asked her if I could change them and got a minty Type 2 Superman for $20.
