Captain Patch Question

[artskull]

I just got a Capt. Patch just like this one in an auction lot for less than $10. Can anyone explain why this auction for same figure is so expensive? Is Capt. Patch that rare? Just curious…

The one you got is probably a CTVT reproduction version.

Thi is actually the knockoff pirate, sold with the "fighting furies" line.

I know Capt. Patch was knock-off put in Fighting Furies accessories to help sell 'em off. I got this Capt. Patch in auction with original Fighting Furies Capt. Hook, so I don't think he's CTVT. The version I received has hand joints that look more like a Mego type 1 except instead of metal rivet there's plastic. I have some CTVT figures and this one doesn't "feel" anything like those, I will double-check how the body is held together to see if it's CTVT bands or old-school strung.

Plastic rivets can be found on AJ's and some early Superman. Anything stamped on the torso or neck of head? Any tags in the clothes?

Captain patch has plastic joints.

IMO that seller is way overpriced on most everything he sells. The original Mego Captain Patch has a patch on the left eye as does the CTVT. That's the best way to tell the difference.

Don't know if it helps or not, but the Capt. Patch I won looks exactly like the one posted in this current auction (link). I didn't have a chance yet to check for markings or tags on clothes. Maybe I'm wrong but prices seem crazy for a knock-off figure.
