Those were all hard fought for boxes you see there. The aquanaut and AA Adventurer box were both from the original owner, but were both from different collections. I worked that AA Adventurer box for what seems like a year before I was able to buy it. It came from someone in Canada, and I got a teal Airborne set from that same person. The Aquanaut I found on Etsy of all places a couple of years ago. I was so worried about it being mailed to me, sweated bullets until it arrived.
Makernaut, I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to show us.Comment

Did you buy the boxes separate from the figures? That must be uncommon?WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

The Aquanaut is all original, the figure is what came in that box. I didn't swap anything on it at all, super pleased with it.
The 69 AA box was just the box top, no figure, but I had a correct 69 bottom and a figure ready for it. I mentioned I got a teal Airborne from that person as well, but I now remembered that was a tan Airborne MP set. Almost 10 years ago I think.Comment

Nowhere as near as impressive as what you have put together, BUT.....in time I might get there.
I do feel VERY appreciative of what you have shared because it lit a fire under me to work at it until I get there. Seriously, your collection motivated me to light a fire under my own ***.Comment

I will admit up front that all of my boxes are reproductions, but I have been able to rotate in authentic clothes (and they weren't when I started) and that makes me hopeful that on a long enough time line, I will make it to where I want my collection to be.Comment

What is your favorite '69 set, folks?
Mine: Mouth of Doom. Usually I would gravitate towards Eight Ropes or Shark's Surprise, but MoD's unique accessories and sarari suit grab me.Last edited by PNGwynne; Apr 2, '20, 10:43 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I may have another picture to show tomorrow or Saturday. Nothing as cool as the 69 stuff, but something vintage I've been trying to piece together for a few years now.Comment

I really lucked out with my '69 repros, because the club did a figure that had the tan cap and ribbed t-shirt, and Action Man 40th did a French Resistance set.
