Nice pick up, just the artwork itself makes it worth while.

Thanks!

Also great to put the variant versions of the sets in boxes.

Mail Call. Since the Avengers set is sold out and saw that the Fantastic Four sets are still available at some Disney Store, decided to get in contact with Lost Boys Treasures - Disney Personal Shopper to try and get 2 more sets of the Fantastic Four. Thank you Lost Boys Treasures - Disney Personal Shopper for the great service.

Been looking for some soldier apes in Canada for the past year and none to be found so turned to the U.S. market and placed an order. This came in today, I now have some soldier apes.

Actually the more I look at Kelly Bundy, I think she would make a good, tv show M*A*S*H* character Margaret Houlihan, Loretta Swit.

Allof these can make a Star Trek figure. I wasnt aware that the Farrah figure was looking on the side... wonder if i can paint the eyes back straight.

Mego should do a MASH line.

The Dr. Mego boots are thicker, with a slighlty rounded sole stamped "DM". They have softer detailing, and the top edge is slightly rounded at the front point and the opening edge is lipped. They are rigid.

Indian CTVT boots are unstamped and more like vintage boots, but glossy. Chinese FTC boots have a new mold and are slightly flared.

Mego 50th boots have a new mold from DM.

Thank you kind Sir !

You are a wealth of information.

No DM on the boots.

Boots are glossy and just like the vintage ones.

I think that the Big Topps figure is all original and the FTC was just changed to a Type S body.

I could just ask the seller since he ordered these online, he just got tired of having these. Pretty certain he has lots more but didnt want these anymore.

The FTC figure is still available for sale on the site:
Batman Retro Action Figures Series 3: Loose in Factory Bag - Figures Toy Company

FTC Batman did not come on a type S body, someone transferred it which was probably a good idea.
Nice batch of figures. I see you got (2) Cushing Van Helsing’s, thinking about making customs?

Thanks !

Yes, the body was changed. This is my first Type S body. can not mistake them with the screws on the back.

I was making customs back in the 90s. Still havent found the boxes they are in. It was my big hobby back then.

I buy batches when they show for sale since get better price if I buy them all. Plus way cheaper compared to ordering online. Im getting all of these fairly cheap.

Yes, most of these are for customs. If the cards , box are damaged , they go for being open and customs. The mint stuff stays boxed.

I am quite happy to fall on stuff here, these were not avaible in stores.

Yes, I think the shiny mitts are FTC.

The lighter gray suit and simple cape are FTC, but the boots appear to me to be Dr. Mego.

Thank you !

I dont have very much experience with the FTC stuff . The mits looked off.

The boots would have a mark if Dr Mego , no ?
