Thanks Scott, I'm looking forward to playing it for sure, spent last night on the Megadrive though with a bit of Italia 90, NBA 95 and Indiana Jones

More terrific stuff Ian and Andy. Thanks for sharing these as they do bring back lots of memories. I only owned a Spider-Man back in the 70's / 80's, but several friends owned several of the others (Hulk, Batman, Robin, at the very least).

Also Ian, I love the fact that you chose to describe your post with the words 'monsters and things' when you have a MacReady doll pictured in it :-D. Do you have the Spider-head as well?

Yes, the Mac came with the spider head as well but I don't have it on display at the moment, it might freak the little one out a bit and also I'm trying not to spoil all these great old movies for my young son, he needs a few surprises when he gets older.

Great line-up as well spoons, that 8" Hulk seems to be one of the harder ones to find at the moment for some reason and both of yours look to have a pretty uniform colour to them which I'm still on the lookout for as one of mines arms is a little off colour. I love the sealed one as well and would love to get a carded Palitoy example at some point (let me know if you're ever thinking of passing him on :wink: ).

Won't be playing that, the Mega CD has gone, far to many expansive games for me!

Recently displayed my Metal Gear Solid figures.

I've been keeping my eyes open for a loose, mint, complete Marion for awhile now. The loose one I have is missing the stand and her dress is off white.

I recently came across a Well of the Souls Playset that included the first four figures with it. The Marion looked absolutely pristine in the photos and included her monkey and the stand. All of the other accessories for the figures were pictured with the exception of Indy's whip. I threw a fairly low bid out for the set thinking if I happened to win, I could sell off the other figures and the playset since I already have them in my collection. I fortunately ended up winning the auction.

When the package arrived, the box was pretty beat up (thanks for that USPS), but luckily the seller packed it really well and there was no damage to the Well of Souls box. I sifted through the packing peanuts looking for the figures, but no luck. I thought, "Oh great, the seller probably crammed them in the Well of the Souls box and likely damaged the figures." My heart skipped a couple beats as I opened up the box. Sitting neatly in one corner was a little white box. I breathed a sigh of relief since the figures were at least protected a little inside there.

As I pulled this little white box out, I noticed some numbers printed on the side. On one corner are 4 Kenner proofs of purchase. "Holy Crap!", I said aloud, even though there was no one to hear it. Upon closer examination, I discovered this is the extremely rare box for the Montgomery Ward 4 pack as featured in their 1982 Christmas catalog.

I immediately went online and found the images for this particular catalog and it clearly indicates if the figures were purchased with the Well of the Souls Playset, Montgomery Ward knocked $2.00 off the price. It then became apparent to me that this playset was purchased at the same time as the figures as indicated by the $20.87 price on the sticker. How freaking cool is that! Needless to say I'm going to keep this entire set together just because I'm weird that way.

One more thing before I wrap up my long winded post. Not only was the 4 pack box not shown in the seller's photos, but neither was Indy's whip, which actually was included and is still taped together! Also, these figures have clearly never been played with as there is no paint damage and their limbs are all still very tight.

I'm very pleased to say the least.

 

[Mini99]

What a result!
Congratulations they look mint, and yes the right decision is to keep them together.

 

[Michael Sith]

Brilliant buy, with the Mailer as well, def keep it all together, looks fantastic 8)

 

[Ruby2511]

Think you struck gold their Seahawks, nice find 8)

 

[Snaketibe]

Congratulations on a terrific pick-up!

 

[Palifan]

That's an amazing find Jason

That was such a roundabout way to go about picking up a complete marion and so worth it come the end. I don't think I've ever heard of that 4 pack with the white mailer so a real gem for your collection and if it were me I'd just sell on the play set and keep all 4 of these figures together.

Always worth taking a punt on something as you never know when it will pay off and what a lovely looking set of figures.

Never seen the Indiana Jones stuff before, great find.

 

[Seahawks]

Thanks for all the great comments guys, really appreciate it!

I picked up a shadow box to put them in for the time being. Doesn't look too bad.

 

[Michael Sith]

That looks great for display with the shadow box.

Finally managed to get the battlecat armour to get him back to his full glory added a teela as well.

I picked it up at Michaels. Buy one get one free. Not sure what I'm going to do with the other one yet.

Not really vintage (other than one figure at the end), but just wanted post a picture of some of the new Mego figures I have. I'm really enjoying some of these recent releases and love the vintage feel they have of the original Mego figures. The last picture is of a vintage AHI Wolfman figure that I picked up recently (although with a new 1000toys Hellboy release), this is the second Wolfman I have as there are many variants out there for him.

A massive thanks goes out to Seahawks for helping me with some of the Mego figures and I'm really hoping that these get a distribution deal in the UK at some point soon.

Nice Michael, one of my favourite toys Battle Cat is. The box is so retro. 8)

Those look absolutely fantastic all lined up there Ian! I think Mego has done a great job with the monster figures for this new line. Would love to see more classic monsters in the future. Maybe a Creature from the Black Lagoon?

i agree that more Mego monsters would be a good thing and I did just see a Mego head sculpt for Regan from the Exorcist so it looks like there's more to come (after their next wave of The Mummy, Phantom of the Opera, The headless Horseman and pennywise). I think their monster releases sell well for them and I know there would be a lot of love for a Creature if it's done well.

Just admiring your recent Indy purchase again, marion's dress is so white!

Starting on a new adventure.... thank you Bristol auctions.

I also should find my old cards and recard my AF. (I kept a lot of packs with bubbles attached) That's a project I have no time for!

Nice pick ups and you know it makes sense to reseal your figures, do it!

Some lovely bits recently. Particularly like the Indy stuff. Never knew this stuff existed.

Not exactly a toy, but I've wanted one of these since I was a kid. They were hundreds of dollars so it was not happening. In the 80s, the 49ers were THE team. Well by pure luck I stumbled upon this being sold on FB Marketplace down the road from me. £40! WOW.

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

Amazing score on that helmet! I too always wanted one of those and was a 49ers "supporter"!

Congratulations on picking this up looks great.
Seems that there are a few of us on here that would have snapped this up for £40!
Is it a replica or a real "could be used" helmet?
