    These were sold at K-Mart back in the day but resurface on eBay in good shape for under $50. They were made sturdy back then to withstand boys playing.
    Again, thank you for the info. I added both description to my local searches. Hopefully will be able to find some.

    This board is full of great and knowledgeable people.

    The struggle is real...specially when plastics grow brittle over time. I just had to replace my Lazervette's windshield because the original turned brittle and shattered.
    Wow... you got me worried. havent taken out my laser vet in 30 years.

    Hope its OK.

    I had a big portion of my collection in storage with limited climate control for a few years. hope it didnt affect pieces to much.

    And the hat and boomerang, sorry to not be able to help since have about 3 or 4 of these figures incomplete and need those exact pieces. I just pick up the figures incomplete when they are not expensive to dress in other outfits.

    The hunt for parts is never ending. Was hunting down parts 30 years ago and still do.

    Best of luck to you.

    But that was RIGHT before I joined the Navy.... I still have the red Barbie Ferrari still in the box...

    Was wondering, if you happen to have extras of Torpedo's hat?? and Whip's sash and boomerangs??

    I'm trying to complete some of my PACK members.

    Agreed.

    This Vet is going towards my Mego Figures.

    Some local buys. 2 big jim and a Barbie Corvette.

    Usually the Barbie stuff is perfect for big Jim but this Corvette seems better suited for a Mego figure.

    Whatcha think ?

    love the Western line. Did not want to get into it or the vehicles in the big jim line since ran out of room 10 years ago but since last May been on a fury on the Mego figures.

    Waiting for summer to arrive to try and make more room in my basement for all these new figures. I filled up a spare bedroom since last may.

    these do take lots of room.
