Does Anyone Still Collect Famous Covers?

[Gorn Captain]

Yeah, I'm keeping mine, too.
When they came out here in Europe, they went for $35, so not cheap!

I love Iron Man, which is, face it, a little more impressive than our old Mego buddy.

Still missing Carnage, and the three movie two-packs (Toad, Wolvie, Storm).

[Cosmicman]

I still have a whole bunch of them and no one has made me a decent offer so I am slowly sacrificing them for "bigger guys" like Giant Man and Atom Smasher to go with my custom MEGOs.

^^^ You're not going to get a great offer for them. The only people looking for them are customizers, and speaking as one, I'm not going to pay "collector" prices for them.

i used to collect them, then i started to use them for customs...still got a few lying around as part of my collection and am trying to get the dc stuff and some of the new hasbro stuff....and thanks to joe, have switched from the fc to the dc/hasbro stuff for my customs....which was a good move...

Exzactly.
Speaking from Someone Who Actually still is collecting them. It's very difficult for Me to want to even want to pay alot Because of the deal's I have gotten ... Like Last week,.. I scored Hawkeye, & Both Wolverine's for 34 bucks Shipped. mib.

I sold several of mine. My daughters got the rest.

I really liked most of them. It just came down to not having anywhere to display them and the money to keep buying new toys.

I loved a few more than others -Hawkeye (even though I don't care about the character)
but was disgusted with some of the efforts -Daredevil especially (because I love the character).

There's several of them that aren't going to have a great shelf life either. I've seen several cases where Doom's armor is getting melty. Thor's boots loose the paint after the slightest touch. ANy of the ones that have the pleather looking parts like Pheonix or Hawkeye are going to degrade, too.

[megozilla13]

I had them all, even the two packs and gave them all to my nephews and daughter. Most of them have a hard time reaching $5 on ebay so I thought it wouldn't be worth the trouble of listing them. Ironman, Spiderman and a few others are the exception. They do seem to be degrading fast. I noticed alot of the soft plastic accessories were really sticky.

ironman is the only nice looking figure.

Ironman was definitely a highlight ~ I did bust mine up for my Yellowjacket custom, which turned out super. I need to grab another IM. Both Reed and Sue look good -- The outfits seem real Kirbyesqe. I DO need to mego-ize the Hawkeye with the custom head suggestions here.

I was hoping to get a Spiderwoman as well someday..
