Mail Away Figures!

[Toy Timelord]

I have the display stand with nice examples of the first twelve.

Heres mine...this is one I got as a kid...All of the figures are really nice, all original....the Han could use an upgrade and Luke needs a new saber, but other than that, the figures are all mint...the stand is a bit worn though...

[Toy Timelord]

I need to replace Ben and Vader's sabers, and I need Leia's gun.

[Toy Timelord]

I need a backdrop too. Sadly, it's the priciest part.

Clark Kent felt underwhelming

Whachoo talkin' about Ed? I was insane over the Clark Kent offer, and mailed my proofs of purchase in right away. The damn thing took the whole 14 weeks to get here!!! And how could you not love the commercial with Mark McClure?

I got a TON of GI Joe mail-ins. Hooded Cobra Commander, the Wolverine missile launcher, parachute packs...the list goes on and on. Great times.

I think the first mail-away figure that I got was Belloq in 1982 from Kenner Raiders of the Lost Ark/Indiana Jones.

I also had Duke, "the Fridge", Sgt. Slaughter, Starduster and those Steel Brigade figures (I got several). I can't remember if I got Cobra Commander or not.

From Super Powers, I had Kalibak and Firestorm. I was really in love with the Super Powers line, but I never got the Clark Kent.

That's all I can remember, right now.

There have been some good recent GI Joe mailaways too. Agent Faces and Storm Shadow Unmasked are both fantastic.

..although a newer mailer in the last couple of years ....most STAR WARS mail aways !But my FAV-INDY's -Ark of the Covenant 12 " VERSION...NICE NICE Nice !!

[Toy Timelord]

Star Wars mailaways never stopped being cool. They still feel special, despite the bigger boxes, and more deluxe packaging.

That Ark was pretty sweet. I only got the skeleton, myself, but the Ark looks great, even with more high end 12" figures.

Walmart's re-issue of the Early Bird set is pretty cool.

[Toy Timelord]

I missed that one. I remember seeing loads of the envelope at Wal Mart after the expiration. Wish I had bought a couple.

[Toy Timelord]

Was digging around in my closet and found two Hoth Backpacks and three gas masks from the Survival pack!

Pretty sure I still have the belt and hook hiding out in a weapons locker from the Chewbacca Bandolier somewhere too. Gonna have to keep an eye out for it.

[nazgul]

That was another awesome Kenner mail away...I especially loved the dagobah backpack it came with

[msenger76]

Oh man i used to love the mailaways.

I can still remember the day Duke came in the mail and my mom made me finish my homework before playing with him.

i had all of them in the 80s: fett, bossk, anakin, weapons pack, hooded cobra commander, duke, fridge, manta, belloq

I remember visiting a toy stall at a market back in the early 90s, and they had lots of mail away Emperor figures from ROTJ, still in their mailer packaging, on sale for mere pennies. Bought a few... wish I'd have snagged them all.
Later, the same stall had loads of the old mail away Mumm-Ra figure for a similarly low, low price.
