I love the BOTW line and grew up with them. I want to start collecting them, especially the QD Johnny West but I'm already collecting too many lines right now. Maybe sometime in the near future I can get started.

I loved the Best of the West line as a kid.

I even still have a few of my originals today.

I never had or knew about the quick-draw action ones.

How do they work ?

A little like MEGO Fonzie, A button is in the back and pressing it causes the arm to raise upward, The thing i don't like about it is he's molded in blue not the carmel color of the non QD, Now i'm on the hunt for a QD Sam Cobra

I know what you mean, Luck or unlucky for me my MEGO hunt is pretty much done so i moved over to Gabriel's LONE RANGER line which i only need the two Euro only figures so i guess i can start collecting BOTW figures. after that well i guess i'll have money to put away Yeah i dout it also

I love the Best of the West line. Favorite toy line of all to be honest (mego runs a very close number 2).
The Quick Draw guys were a last gas attempt to rekindle interest in the line. Hopes were high, and a Sheriff Garrett quick draw figure was rumored to be coming next. Instead, Quaker Oats (who owned Marx at the time) pulled the plug on the entire line.
Still a cool toy, and a nice find.


This link will show you what the manual looked like at least (and show how the quick draw feature worked).

I haven't seen them before, but what a neat idea, what kid wouldn't love a quick draw action figure?
