Anyone have Stretch Armstrong ?

I never had one, but when I was younger the town I lived we had a factory that made the bodies. Behind their building was a dumpster full of the rejects... pretty creepy looking

Perhaps the wackiest vintage toy in my collection:

Looks like a swinging the other way Sgt Slaughter

Its funny how even as a vintage Kenner figure, he still looks badass

The vintage Fett is ok but, i think these two stood out as two of the best in the line.I still have my original Biker Scout with some yellowing on the back pack area, in great shape as well and have to pick up some vintage Royal Guards.

 

[galactiboy]

Never really cared for the guard... the robe just looks funky to me. Scout Trooper is very kickass though.

I always really like Ackbar when I was a kid as well, not sure why, but he was always cool in my book.

I think we all have given away or sold off something for far less than it could be ultimately worth not knowing. I think about all the vintage figures I sold at yard sales just to make some cash and get rid of junk, and realize now I could probably get 10x as much money for some of it, it's a kick to the boys

Yeah, I love those kind of finds... trying to remain calm, but inside you're squealing like a school girl at Jonas Bros concert

Back in 92 i found some various ROTJ figures on Canadian cardbacks at a local flea market for $4 each all were in great condition, i picked up Old Ben,Endor Leia,Stormtrooper and a few others i can't remember now, also around the same time i was able to snag a Vader and R2 on ROTJ cards(Canadian unpunched) for $8 from a guy that owned a local model/collectible shop, i did inquire about vintage Star Wars stuff and he said he had some carded figures in the basement and dug them out for me within a few days, i was pretty excited being 12yrs old at the time, he also hooked me up with some Dapol Dr.Who figures.

OK Guys
I need some help identifying a figure I have no clue what line it is from...

Here are a very rough sketch of ii...
This was a Martian-like character.
The head was hollow and mouth and eyes were just holes in this rubbery pink mask.
The whole body was pink and the suit was purple.
The feet were like cups, arms and legs were flexible.
Anybody remembers this one?

 

[galactiboy]

Damn I know that figure... the name is Octo something or other. Its from an older series; like action man or one of the ones before my time.

If its the one I'm thinking of its quite rare and valuable.

 

[Valfar]

I found it Kuzeh!!

 

[galactiboy]

Scratch that... I think Captain Action.

Hi,
That is Scorpio from Major Matt Mason line of toys from the 1960's. He is staring at me from my vintage collectibles shelf. A pretty neat toy for the time!
Awesome my first post

 

[Valfar]

So its this then, neat.

I posted Capt.Lazer earlier in this thread, my father owned it as a child.

 

[galactiboy]

Scorpio... that's right. I knew I recognized him, but Matt Mason
