MEGO 12 Inch Queen Hippolyte in box in the wild!

[Orlock]

A few questions guys. I have some trepidation about picking her up, because I don't care to own her, but thought some of you here might, so I considered flipping it, but this is a little far from MIB yet displays okay.

Okay first shot is full frontal...oh yeah:

Yeah there are some price tags on the side art, but those seem easily peeled. The top and bottom factory tape is loose/open on the flaps but it stays closed nicely.

Close up of the top of the doll:

Her right arm has apparently been glued back on at some point. Sad me. Still has clear plastic head wrap though!

Close up of bottom:

Unfortunately there are two issues here, one, the window has been broken through due to dryness it appears and number two, it says her feet are off but in the box. I saw her shoes clearly through the window, and the stand so all is included.

Closer view of glued shoulder:


Back of box:


So what I am asking is what would be a good price on something in this condition and is it worth the purchase for the flip? Does anyone here need this? I can go buy this right now, no problem. Just wanted some info first.

Given the conditon of the box and doll, flipping it will be extremely hard unless you can get it for real cheap.

Does that sticker say "Feet are off, but are in the box"?

What are they asking for her? I couldn't make out a price there.

[Orlock]

Yeah that's what it says, but I think it is just the shoes as the feet on these dolls were a part of the rubber legs as a whole piece and they mistakenly wrote feet instead of shoes. It's twenty bucks. Her feet looked fine as far as I could tell. Sorry the pics are so craptacular but my phone was all I had with me.

[RickD]

for $20 bucks I would have bought it. you could probably easily sell the box and outfit for $40-50.

This item would easily be flipped for that price!

My opinion of course!

okay for $ 20 buck its a real good deal! and yes you could flip it

[Orlock]

Okay. Thanks guys. I've never done that before, I just buy the things I want for myself or on occasion something specific someone has asked for, much less never done it for profit. When I did sell in the past it was due to upgrades to my own items and then selling the older versions I had or just getting rid of things I was no longer interested in. I appreciate it.

$20 is a steal. Doesn't this figure use the same body as any of the 12" dolls. A head and clothing swap and a little TLC to the box would make this a $100 piece easily.

I agree.

I knew about all the other in the collection, but I never knew about Queen Hippolyte! Nice grab!
