Other Vintage Collections

[user 5830]

Anyone know anything about these?

As you can see, it's quite a collection. Most of them are pretty much mint. A couple with small paint chips and a couple with parts of a sticker having fallen off.

These were amongst my father's possessions that I've been sorting through this week; I have no personal love for them, but assume they're worth something? Would take them to a toy fair, but don't want to get ripped off either...

Anyway, any thoughts or help greatfully received.
Cheers
Steve

I have a small run of sectuars, did anyone else have/collect those figures, i think i bought a few from woolworths with my birthday money one year.

Then they disappeared a bit like visionaries and supernaturals

Looks like they're coming back! http://news.toyark.com/2017/04/13/sectaurs-kickstarteron-way-via-zica-toys-249298

Here's the A-Team and a Lone Ranger set I'd forgotten I had.
The knees are articulated on both sets. For the Lone Ranger set I'm sure it was for a horse but don't remember having a horse. Good figures.

This thread seems to have gone under my radar. It was the Transformers thread got me thinking about it! There's some interesting things to see here. I like the idea and freedom of picking up random bits you like the look of or that mean something to you, rather than having to stick to one toy line. I've done a bit of it myself getting a few favourites from childhood.

Cool, i did start on those matty collector he man remakes, they were really cool and well made but it got out of control, releasing 50 figs a year and playsets, soon became overwhelming.

Those Matty collector He man figures were fantastic but you're right about how large the collection became. They've now joined forces with Super 7 but fortunately I've only been interested in the 3.75 ones super 7 put out and I think I'm all done with owning just series 1 and 2. I'm sure there are a lot more to come from this smaller range but it does get a bit much.

I'm interested in seeing these Sectors though and it looks like they're not starting to release them until next year so there's a bit of time until I need to start spending more money. It's been a heavy month for me already with a few things I've picked up so I could do with a bit of a break.

Along with Star Wars and CHiPs, I also dig the Remco Mini-Monsters. The detail on these guys is amazing and they even glow in the dark. How freakin' cool is that!

 

[Palifan]

Love these Remco Universal Monsters, I also have a full set of these and one on a card back. I thought Reaction did a good job with their recent versions of these but it's nice to have the vintage ones. Great castle as well, really sets them off!

I've been putting together a set of MASK carded figures over the past few months. I didn't actually know these two packs existed until recently, I had only seen the single figure adventure packs at the top before. MASK was probably my second favourite toy line as a kid so it's nice to add these to my collection, they are all pretty cheap too. Thanks to Iain for sending some of them over from the US where they are more common.

 

[Palifan]

I never really knew this line existed until I started toy collecting but know that I would have been all over it in my childhood. It's strange with things like this as I have friends who owned this toy line back when it was released and are only a few years younger than me.

Just shows how you can stop noticing things at any given time. Great collection you've put together though Ed and I do like the scale and smaller boxed items. I have been tempted at times and am sure one day I'll have T Bob at least.

Great run edd, the artwork on the adventure sets is amazing.
They don't fit the normal GW acrylic cases so you'll need to get the gi joe ones. :wink:

Fantastic MASK Collection :shock:

Thanks Ian! I also picked up a set of the ReAction monsters and got an extra Bride of Frankenstein to open up and hang with the old school Remco monsters. They are lots of fun and I can't wait until Halloween so I have an excuse to set them up in the living room (wife won't allow it otherwise).

There's some really cool stuff on this thread!

Here's my starting transformers autobot collection. Jazz and Sunstreaker. I wrecked my Jazz by overplaying as as a boy. Sunstreaker I never had but is class. Sideswipe also on the hit list!

Looks like the beginnings of something beautiful

I had some of these growing up, really liked these figures.

I had the t-bob 2 pack and the 2 pack underneath that one, I also had the yellow man far right with a yellow motorbike also had a guy with a quad bike that flipped open and had a circular saw shoot out. the rich kid in my class has a big purple truck and some weird looking powerplant I seem to remember

 

[tobedesu]

Anyone remember these fellas?
Both from Megocorp, 1977 Superman and 1978 Batman.

The magnetic hands and feet Batman was one of my most played with figures before Star Wars came along.
My mum took me to Coventry and bought him for me. I asked for Robin, as you would being about 4 years old... Never had him though.
Great figures.

Those are very cool. I had that Batman (or a similar version) as a kid. I loved the old Batman TV series when I was very young and used to run around the house with a bath towel tied around my neck as a cape. Only superhero I was every really into.

Have recently been adding to my Remco Mini-Monster collection. After getting a very nice loose set awhile back, decided to go for them carded as well. These figures are so damn cool.

 

[Palifan]

Nice set of carded Remco! I love the artwork on these cards but only have the Creature carded. I did mange to get a complete non glow loose set recently which was in great shape. They go nicely with my complete glow set but I've never taken the plunge on getting carded set up together.

Maybe one day but at the moment I have plenty of other monster toys to keep me busy, especially with the Distinctive Dummies Mego style figures getting released every month, I'm rapidly running out of cabinet space for everything.

Just got this in yesterday from Ebay, obviously needs an upgrades some point but it's the sticker I found interesting- £5 in Netto for an 80's vintage toy, anyone else seen this type of thing before?
It's too cheap an item to be bothering with a sticker swap and it has age to it.
Somewhat of a mystery.

Some great pictures there guys I love this thread
I few bits I have managed to put together over the last while.

 

[Palifan]

Nice A-Team Moc set, I've still got my childhood loose BA and did keep his tool box for years but can't seem to find it anymore

What's the thing beneath them on the far left?

Thanks unfortunately all I have left of my A-Team figures is Face's head. I also had the 4 figures + the Van and the 4 inch BA figure. I still have the van but it's minus the removable roof and a few wheels now. Considering the hammering it got I am surprised it survived.
Heres a few more pictures of what I have been collecting. As you can see it's a Rambo carded figure that was to the bottom left of the first picture.

Thanks for that Yoda, loving' the collection!

Thanks alot no bother this is a great thread I really want some day to start on page one and look at all the displays that everyone else has also put up. I know there will be some great collections. That's why this forum is so great it gives us all a little world to escape to now and again.

I did this myself years ago and it certainly delivers, I just hope that most people uploaded their images through this forum and not through Photobucket.

Small update on a couple of my cabinets, I think there's a few new pieces in here and it's always good to share .

Love the resizing function you've added Ed, really makes it simple to upload pictures.

Thanks man, I almost didn't get that Matthias and Heston double pack but couldn't resist in the end. Yes it is Nosferatu as well, I'm a sucker for these old vampires and love these Distinctive Dummies figures. They're made with real care and in that retro Mego style so they're a big hit for me.

Here's another picture of Nosferatu from and earlier post I made - http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=212&start=2085
