Apologies for posting again and hogging the thread!

Can't finish Evil Lyn until I have the staff

So have a he man 12 back all original cardback bubble and comic, so purchased the weapons and a he man to pop in there.
He had sellotape holding together and was badly assembled so firstly carefully took off the old sellotape with a craft knife and patience! and cleaned the residue of tape with lighter fluid
Then positioned the weapons and comic and resealed, this was a bugger as there was parts of the cardback attached to the three quarter loose bubble so had to tuck underneath the comic whilst lowering the bubble into place

Here is the before

Two great looking reseals Mike!

Really nice work and these look great housed back where they should be :D

Amazing work Micheal, my second toy love is vintage MOTU. Unfortunately I sold all my childhood collection including a boxed Castle Grayskull about 10 years ago. Really regret it now, not sure what I was thinking selling the CG.

Love your work, it deserves its own thread. :)

Look forward to the group photo. :wink: 8)
 
Cheers Ian, love getting these back to display standard, need to get the MOTU on show soon. Love the MOTU as used to watch the cartoons with my lad when he was a nipper, so collecting them with him now is an extra buzz.

Yes you've got to love MOTU

Shame you let yours go

We have complete boxed castle grayskull and boxed battlecat, need to get them on display properly though.

I have a battlecat without armour spare if you want him ( you can always pick up the armour) that might set you off on a collecting spree, if you want him he's yours mate, dare you start a collection :lol:

Thanks Micheal, I've got an agreement with the wife. I can buy as much Star Wars as I like but nothing else!!! I will just enjoy your stuff for now. I remember getting battlecat and panthra with he-man and Skeletor for Christmas 84'. 8)
 
I've been listening for the last year to a Wrestling figure podcast - The Major Wrestling Figure podcast, hosted by WWE wrestlers, Zack Ryder and Kurt Hawkins... even though I don't watch modern wrestling and I have never collected Wrestling figures....

Till now.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ToysOfTatooineActionPlastics have discovered a huge WWF figure find.

..And I've bought one of every single type available. :-/

I'll get some photos up when they come in!

Finally finished my run of Sportstars Spurs players. It's taken me a couple of years to find the last two I needed (Paul Stewart and Paul Walsh) but they were all under £20 each, nice not collecting Star Wars sometimes :)

Nice collection you have going there Michael, good work on the reseals they look great. Also I see you finally tracked down the He-Man weapon set. :wink:
 
This is my current collection now which is pretty much complete in terms of what iv'e been trying to track down, i'm just after a couple of small pieces and it's finished.

These are all childhood pieces that iv'e acquired over the past several years, along with my now modest and reduced SW figure collection. :D
