Most Valuable Toy in Your Toy Collection

[Random Axe]

I have probably the weakest toy collection on this board, but the one I value the most and the one that's actually worth the most is my carded Shazam. My mother found this in an old hardware store in 1983 for ten dollars. She didn't give it to me till I graduated high school in 1987. IT's worth maybe 3-400 dollars tops, but it's priceless in my eyes.

Thanks for the link. The site isnt' as good as I want it but yes that's it. I believe the doll appeared in some Mego catalogs with the Wonder Woman playset but I Don't have any pictures of those catalogs yet.

I don't know how the page got buried but it needs some revising anyway:

I can get you a bigger scan if you want.

It's not a very big pic, this is a 300 dpi scan, hope it's of use.

Hi Brian, It's alot better than the one I have! Which is nothing. Thank You so much. I really want the one that has the doll I have, which has the shiny material like the one my doll has for the dress instead of nylon, which was used on the actual doll but one catalog shows the doll wearing the original design with the shiny material. I seen it once but can't remember which one it was.

Ah, she's in the '77

Going with Jason's idea, if there were a fire I'd grab the Cornelius I got from my mother, and the Scottie and Klingon that my grandmother got my cousin and I for our birthdays. If I had a few seconds more, I'd grab the customs I have from people like DaveMc, Derek, and BK.

More sentiment than value....my Muhammad Ali Mego. I idolized him as a kid my fav boxer and humananitarian. I begged my mom and she got me him, the ring and the opponent....best memory

all of this stuff is amazing

My most valuable -- based on what I paid, anyway -- isn't a toy proper, but certainly toy-related: I have the original factory tooling for the James Bond handpuppet made by A.C. Gilbert in 1965.

As to the least ... Gawd, the house is full of toys ... could be anything. Heaven knows there are plenty I paid for thinking they were worth something and turned-out not to be ...

I'm pretty jazzed that the postal person brought me a Wayne Foundation... But my highest "valued" is probably going to be an Enid Blyton Little Noddy Taxi Game from 1956 that my sister and I used to play with. It still has all the pieces and probably low dollar value.

Least is a toss-up between a pull-back hotwheels cereal prize I got last week, or a plastic flip toy (of the jumping frog variety) in the form of a lavender rabbit left over from Easter (they were 30 for a dollar) because I haven't gotten any Mr Mxy's in lots recently.

I guess thanks to Brad, and his bikes...I'll have to say my 64 1/2 Mustang...lol.

Well Hector, they are really toys aren't they? I have always owned either vintage muscle cars or bikes. The way I look at it if they are used for fun and aren't relied on as daily transportation then they are toys. Just very big and expensive toys.


I am mainly a Mopar man because my Dad worked most of his life at the local Belvidere assembly plant and that's all he ever drove. Dad was very loyal and we have always had great luck with our cars. Our 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport has 247,000 miles on it. I would never own anything else now especially just for the love and respect I have for my Dad. He died in 2004 and I still miss him every day. He was the sweetest, kindest man I have ever known.

But I have owned a few other brands over the years. I had a Mustang, Formula Firebird, and a 69 Javelin. I guess I forget that I also own a 1953 Ford F100. It was Maggy's Grandfather's truck. He bought it new and used it on the farm. It has about 65,000 miles on it and still runs great but is rusty. I work on it every year when we vacation on the farm. I am slowly doing a stock restoration on it.

I would love to see a picture of your Mustang Hector. Post one if you get a chance. I love looking at the pictures of the ones Zemo owns. I always liked Mustangs and have done interiors and tops on 100s of them. I wouldn't mind finding a nice, little mid 1960s Falcon and drop a stroker crate engine in it. A nice 427CI small block with a 5 speed would be fun.


My main desire is to own another 69 Roadrunner. That was my first car. I would like to have a 69 1/2 real 440 six pack model. Maybe someday if I grow tired of my bikes and sell the entire collection I could buy one.

Most valuable? Prototype-wise, probably this hardcopy of an unproduced circa 1974 10" action figure from Takara:




...Might be the only one left of it in the world. Neal Kublan was shown one when he visited Takara's shops back during the Micronauts days. Usually, not more than one or two hardcopies are made of something this complicated.

Production-wise, I've got an MOC Micronaut Kronos which fetches a few hundred on auction, and several 1980s Japanese Microman and anime robot toys that demand quite a few $$s.
