A few items I'm selling at the moment... but still vintage goodness I thought I'd share (btw, these are just doubles).

I don't have pictures yet, but M.U.S.C.L.E. 10 and 4 packs came in all pink, mixed pink and colored and all colored varieties. I have one of each 4 pack and just need an all flesh 10 pack to finish the set

Umm.... HOW MUCH FOR THE 10 PACK?!?!?

Now, I don't know much about 12" Joes (other than Sideshow, I guess), but there's a well known GI Joe collector named Aire who is actually featured on a series of Youtube videos called "Collectable Spectacle". She's got an ENORMOUS GI Joe and vintage toy collection. In one of the videos she demonstrates how to repair the bands in a 12" Joe.

I don't know if it's the same as Super Joe, but it's worth a look... really for anyone here, actually.

If it's not really the same kind of repair job, I really recommend emailing her (I think she gives away her email at the end of the last video). If anyone knows how to do it, she will.

Thanks for the info. Although now I'm wondering if these SuperJoes are the same size as the Megos. Maybe I can just switch out the body?

I hate to say it... but $65 shipped. The value on these has exploded over the last few years; I guess a lot of people were still opening them

Ouch! nevermind...

Yeah, all Flesh ones sell for even more... they're actually more common, but people tend to prefer them over the colored figures; will racism never end

Sorry man... I'm only selling it as I have a hard time justifying having 2 of them when I could get $65 for one

I'm more a fan of the flesh ones but that's only because it's what I had when I was a kid. You'll make out nicely though.

That used to be the attitude among most collectors so flesh really does hold more interest. But its funny, starting a few years ago some people figured out exactly what figures were made in what colors. All figures were released in Flesh, but not all 233 figures were released in each of the subsequent 8 colors.

After this happened people started trying to get complete; and I mean complete sets numbering in the thousands!!! Some of them individually sell for around $200; the most sought after being a purple claw (#153). Its kind of small niche collector group, but they are rabid

Just received this via USPS today:

Anyone recognize it?

 

[Deak Starkiller]

M.A.S.K., right?

Anything else

Yes, like those Romando Kinnikuman figures cluttering up your floating shelf?

Think of your children.

Right! The bike that mounts on the back of Firecracker!

Bingo!


This thread has inspired me to dig into my old toys. I have a bunch of MASK stuff that were easily my favorite toys growing up. I always loved Firecracker and that little bike, but sadly all I had from the bike was the windshield and the little mount for Firecracker. The actual bike is long gone.

I was browsing eBay for MASK stuff and came across someone selling just the bike! Couldn't pass it up.

Hey guys, does anyone know of a decent 'cleaner' for vintage toys? I have a slew of SW figs that I'd like to clean up. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to contribute to this great thread. Here are some robots that I fell in love with as a kid during the 80s. They weren't very well known, but they were the coolest things out there for their time. Here are the original 10 Godaikin Robots that got me started into the addiction of collecting toys.

Warm water and elbow grease. Maybe a little dish soap.
