Any new classic toy aquisitions?

Thanks! Good eye on the gun, it is the same as the G.I. Joe flare gun, only unpainted. It is the gun he is supposed to come with (Ledy made GI Joes in Mexico too, so they "borrowed" the mold), but too bad he has no way of holding it!

You can pose Luke and Vader with their baseball bats resting on their arms in a quasi-Frankensteinish way, but you gotta use putty if you want Han to blast ol' Greedo. No holster either. South of the border Han is old skool; tuck it in the belt.

Chris - Does the flare for the Aventurero de Accion have a HK stamp on it as well?

[cjefferys]

Han's gun has no such stamp, and I'm guessing that the Ledy Joe's gun was the same, considering that all these things had to be made in Mexico at the time according to law. Ledy probably just altered the molds they got from Hasbro I'm guessing.

It always makes me smile to see packaged Ledy Lukes with his lightsaber "safely" tucked in his belt. Yeah, that would work. (oh well, I guess it isn't much more ridiculous than the Kenner Luke having an activated saber hanging from his belt!). I'll keep away from the putty and just have Han's gun tucked in his belt. Hey, speaking of Greedo, could you imagine if Ledy kept the line going and made a 12" Greedo? The mind boggles how that would turn out, but I'll bet it would have looked awesome.

I was figuring the marks on the flare would just be sanded out. Sort of like the Cipsa ape bodies.

As for a LL Greedo. That would have been great, but the truly awesome visual is what the pre-production photo on the box would have looked like. The Tuskin Raider pic is horrifying. Looks like a potato with some stained glass jabbed into it. - awesome -

Lili Ledy Tuskin Raider mockup on Star Wars box art:


pre production figures are often a little off from the originals, but the LL Raider looks nothing like this monster. I kinda wish he did.

Crap, that's awesome. That's from the back of the Jawa box, right? I think he's the only one that has a real second series box, because the Tusken Raider box was just a Luke box with a Tusken Raider sticker on the front covering the Luke info.

That's weird that they used a pic like that for the box. The Ledy catalogue that has a photo of all seven figures used a Tusken Raider figure that looked like the final production one.

Mike Powers you can find super cheap, but when you start getting into the SOTW line and the early painted head ones, you'll see what wasting money really is but they're awesome

I'll proably stick with the AT Joes as they are the ones i had as a kid and from what i see the big ticket figures are Talking Astronaut/ AA talking comander/Bulletman, I've seen a few SOTW figures and they are cool but i'd proably get the cheaper Action Man 40th ann versions

Found a fairly decent Mike Hazzard figure (sans his spygear)at a local garage sale today...made my day! I may have driven the old guy running the sale a little batty asking if he had more Marx stuff somewhere?

I got this baby months ago, but I just keep forgetting to post pics. My wife and I both love the Super Jrs merchandise from the late 70s/early 80s. Our son's nursery was decorated with Super Jr wallpaper, curtains, etc. we found on ebay.

The always awesome ScottA pointed me in the direction of an ebay auction for this baby. Although I lost the auction, our pal Rudi contacted me to say he had another he was about to list, and so here you go!



I really like the packaging on this. The thin borders and circular vignettes appeal to the Mego fan in me. Since Baravelli is involved, it makes it all the more fitting!

The figure itself is just a perfect representation of the Batman Jr design.



The back is really cool, but puzzling. I'm not sure what figures they made in this line besides Superman and Batman. I passed on Supes, because they used the same arms as Batman and gave Supes white gloves(!?!). I THINK I remember seeing a Flash go over my budget years and years ago on ebay, but I'm not sure.

Anyone have any more info on these?
