    Stupid of me, or?

    -?

    Just in theory here folks -
    What if I had a 'Fist Fight' version of the Lizard, but I didnt care for the internal mechanisms and the 'action features', would it be foolish of me to, for example, want to swap him for a regular Lizard+ or some other Megos?

    I dont want to be the guy that swapped the silk purse for the sow's ear!

    Opinions please?

    Thanks and take care -

    Not foolish at all. If you don't base your collection on what you like, and make it all about 'what it's worth', it's just a monkey on your back.

      Hmmmm....

      I'd swap it out. I've done it before: trading figures or accessories I didn't care for. I've replaced stuff with custom parts because I liked the custom bit better.

        I used to have a Fist Fighter Robin

        It was the only Fist Fighter in my collection

        I only got it because it was $10.00 on a flea market (complete and nice)

        Used to bug me because it was like a sore thumb in my collection.

        I wound up selling him off and getting a regular one.

        If you don't like something there's no reason to keep it.

          You shouldn't have a problem swapping out a FF Lizard for a regular one. I'm sure someone would bite at that swap.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

            Thanks for the advice guys - I agree with the general consensus.

            Megocrazy - No no, not the Fist Fight Lizard for JUST a regular Lizard - I may be new to this collecting world, but I'm not a dummy! Wouldnt that be the same as swapping Smirnoff Vodka for Grey Goose Vodka? I mean, sure, Smirnoff is GREAT, but come on...!


            Take care - thanks again -

              There was a member here who shall remain nameless who traded a Red Haired Dracula that he didn't like the looks of for a nude Zira as he was having trouble finding a complete one in good ondition. Value is in the mind of the perceptor...
