      What about Mego Kristy McNichol? Don't see her selling too well.

        Eagle Force was the same way. They sat on the pegs at Lionel Kiddie City until they went under.

          I remember trying to find ANYONE who had a complete loose set of OMBC a while back so we could get some pics. It seemed like NO ONE owned them. My vote goes here as well.

              Perhaps, but they seem scarcer and more expensive lately. I've been seeking a Grok for customs for over a year.

                I just picked up the last of the OMBC figures. It look longer than expected. Believe it or not, Blackbeard has been much tougher to find.

                    If you have a spare Blackbeard... I'm interested.

                        The last of the ones you needed, or the very last one out there? Either case feels completely plausible...

                          ^ the last of the series to complete the set. Once I have Blackbeard, I'll have all of the US available 1/9 scale figures Mego released.

                            8 inchers are prone to the "rising tide lifts all boats" analogy. Friar Tuck has been one figure - boxed, loose, complete, whatever - just never sells well. His accessories and box have more value than the actual figure. IMO, that's due to the lack of customizable options.

                              No-one will ever hear me complain about any of Mego's Merry Men. But I think you have a point about Tuck and customs. (But I have one planned!!)

                              I still fervently wish we had more figs in the Robin Hood series...I can think of another wave, easy--and a playset.

                                The Sheriff and Maid Marion would of made nice additions, maybe a horse for Robin Hood, but the mad monsters castle
                                would make a nice place for a kidnapped Maid for Robin to rescue.
