Are Pin Pins worth the same?

[Twiki1979]

Are Pin Pins worth the same as the US mego's? Less? More? I see the spidy all the time and he sells for a lot less but is the same true for all of them? Batgirl for example....is she worth more or less than a US one?

It depends on the figure/year. Some like the Spidey you mention are more commonly found on that card and worth less. I'm not the expert in this area but I think Spidey and the Fanatistic Four are the figures most commonly found on these cards (1979 artwork). By contrast the 1979 US carded FF are pretty rare and command top dollar.

It's dependant on the character, like Mike said Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four are pretty common as they were sold in the US on closeout. Other characters like Batgirl and Supergirl probably don't go cheaper than a US version but I could be wrong.

Also, since Pin-Pin figures (later releases) have a nasty habit of going gray, that also makes them worth less.

A great example is the Fantastic Fours ..... Even loose, you can tell if they were Pin Pins by their graying heads

I have a whiter-than-white Pin Pin carded Joker.

By using the right brand, you too can keep your Joker sparkling white....

From all of the shared intelligence on Pin Pin Toys 8" carded WGSH over the years, the characters that never made it state-side on closeout (Batgirl, Supergirl, Joker, Penguin) are much harder to find than their US cards. The prices are about the same as for US cards only because of low demand. If they were in demand, they would be worth big big dollars.

The other characters are, for the most part, worth less than their US equivalents because they are fairly plentiful. The fact that they tend to gray doesn't help either.
