This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection 26 26

[mr_highgrade]

Picked this up in a collection a while back. 

R2, Chewie & Darth are from 1977.

Luke pilot 1978.

The rest of the loose figures are from 1980.

Are they worth much?

All of this delightful plastic and here I am selling my collection off       I just have them all in  boxes in the closet, so someone else may as well enjoy them. And I'm just gonna blow the money on comics anyway so.

Finally after two and a half decades off and one searching added a Sealed Water Moccasin to the cobra Navy. Easily my favorite as a kid.

BOOM!!! 

That's awesome. The Water Moc was one of my favorite vehicles. As a kid, I had the Dark Green Gloves Copperhead, so I was ecstatic to land a sealed one on eBay for $300 back in the late 90's. Really had no clue how rare they were until I started looking for others and never saw another one (heck, any Water Moc sealed is very hard to find!) -- I kept it wrapped in carefully in paper towels and bubble wrap along with a few other Joe vehicles in a sturdy double-wall box in my closet (yes, I was scared to even look at it for fear of accidentally damaging it), then eventually got it graded in the mid-2000's (an 85 with 90 subs except the box, it was a harsh grade and I believe it got a bump when it was resubmitted a few years after to a 90), eventually sold it for $3000. One that I regretted having to sell (to pay for photo equipment), but I learned to live without it and certainly did fine on the ROI. Really just a killer vehicle, though. Congrats!!

It's just a bunch of G1 transformers in nice condition, NBD. I doubt you'd want them

I hate to see a bunch of dungholio on your hands, I'll reluctantly take them.

i have a shoebox full of 80s/early 90s GI Joes, too

 

I think I'll go through them now, as a matter of fact.

Some inexpensive purchases from a recent toy show.

Mystery box from one of those selling apps. Not bad for $5. I don't know what the bear trap thing is yet.

Will add a pic when I get out of the office here; but for all my fellow pop culture enthusiasts a sale for the threezero one punch man figure. Having already acquired one, I 'had' to pick up a second one at this price.

As for those who haven't watched the first season; highly recommended

edit: this thing used to be 50% off, so not the deal it was, but still a solid price

home office reno is almost complete, once complete I can find a spot for Saitama

I'd never heard of Defenders of the Earth or run across them. 

With how long I've been doing this, always amazes me to come across the unknown. 

Buying a Turtles collection in the next couple weeks.  Not great, but a few tougher pieces.

Nice! I love the SNES Classic. So many great games. I just wish the controller cables were longer (despite being a huge improvement from the NES Classic, they're still way too short). Now if only I wasn't so terrible at Star Fox so I could unlock Star Fox 2. 

I picked up a 2-pack of 10ft controller extensions for $9.99 on Amazon, they work great. The product listing says it works for the NES classic as well.

Defenders of the Earth is actually a pretty cool little toy line, which brought together a bunch of old King Features comic strip characters like Flash Gordon, Mandrake and The Phantom. It was a real hodge podge, but if you like classic comic strip characters AND 4" scale figures, it was a neat little bunch of toys. I've been looking for nice MOC examples at a good price for a while, but haven't come across a deal that I like yet.

Thanks, I just ordered mine as well.  For $10 - cannot go wrong.

I'm glad you found the recommendation helpful. So I've got the SNES and the controller extensions, next step is going to be adding more games.
