10 Rarest Toys On-Line Article

[PGowdy]

An interesting if not altogether accurate article on rare toys. I actually came across this researching the toy The Blank from the Dick Tracy line. An incredibly rare and hard to find figure from the early 90s. Putting Yak Face at number 2 is ridiculous as it's a figure with only the reputation of being rare but take it from someone with 22 of them, it's really not.
There are many toys i'm sure could be added to a list like this. One that springs to mind for me is Captain Harris from the Police Academy line which was a mail away only figure and being from such an obscure toy-line (pretty sure i'm the only one on here that ised to have several of the toys ) it's now a very hard figure to find these days.

So what else would you add to this line. (i'd say without the complex combinations we take to make a figure rare ie, 41 back "this" with a "that" sticker on a Toltoys... zzzzzzz. :lol: )

Yeah, much rarer than a Yak Face. And we're only talking uncarded. Once you get into carded there are dozens rarer than Yak Face.

Thanks for the link, its an interesting read

One thing though lads, Yak might be number 2 on the list but its not a top ten, just a list of ten 'rare' American figures that were sold outside of the USA only (I think :? )

That was a good read, and that Macgyver fig is awful - I might have to get me one of those

I rember the galaxy rangers, and they look like quality figs

Not even Macgyver could fix that Macgyver figure. I bet he could do a good recard though

Is it possible to live a week without a Jawa reference ? The Jawa is a toy variant/ packaging variant does not count as a standard production toy, which is what they are looking at here. If specific combinations were to be taken into account then a list could never be compiled as the toss between it all would go on forever.

Bendy figure from Tron should be up there, 3 examples out there in collection.

And it was sold in America, so it won't be on this list.

Maybe we could introduce a VCJ fine for unnecessary mentioning of this figure :wink:
