Thanks Ian, I fear it's a slippery slope and I pretty much know I'll never have the horses, loose or MOC.

Here's one for the Han fans out there....

Cool thanks for sharing.

I wonder if the thumb on these breaks off most of the time as well!

Some great pickups Carl. I've never collected the Raiders line, but I've always liked it. However, I've never seen the Lord of the Rings line before, so that was great to see, and the Butch is good too (nice to see Kenner recycling again )

 

[lejackal]

Thanks Jeremy, I bought Toht a couple of years ago then let him go but I thought I'd get a few again

 

[Michael Sith]

Love the Indie series. And that butch cassisdy looks ace

Added complete castle Grayskull

To the display today, slowly taking over display areas now, Castle is complete and nice box TBF

 

[lejackal]

Love that set, never had a complete one, I think my childhood Grayskull came from a boot sale or church fete

 

[Michael Sith]

It's a cracking set has all the gubbins and weapon rack etc even has the leaflet with it, been stored away for years, good to get it on display

Have to get the boxed Thundertank on display somehow now!

 

[Palifan]

It's a mighty play set and a great one to have complete as there are so many parts to it.

A Spanish seller sold me some figures a while ago and by accident included the tiny gun from this set as he thought it went with my figure. He contacted me later to say that he's made a mistake by sending it and I looked up the price of it and could see it was one of the most expensive parts for this set.

I did send it back to him as it completed his set he was trying to sell and he'd been so nice to deal with (including sending me loads of free vintage goodies in with my figures!).

It's always nice to get things out that have been tucked away and I've had my Kenner Droids Factory out today to see what's missing from it. There were a few parts (most of which I picked up today), but it also had 2 of the 3 legged R2's in there. Result!

Love that Castle Grayskull, what a toy and the art work on the box is superb. Great to see your collection growing.

 

[Snaketibe]

Beautiful castle Grayskull!

Excellent Grayskull, Michael. Those Thundercats MOCs are superb as well 8)

Love this thread, recently finished a loose run of the Battlestar Galatica figures, mainly thanks to [mention]SublevelStudios[/mention] for having the majority available, last few picked up on eBay.

Does anyone know of a resource where all the old vintage figure lines are listed, fancy collecting another vintage line. Going to box the runs away ready for when I finally get my garage converted and can display them all.

Cheers for that link, that's got the animated Dungeons and Dragons figures I've been hunting, they were made in Portugal by Maia & Borges, but don't come up very often and not in a condition I'd like. Got the Hank last week and there is a Sheila on eBay, also a Bobby but his face is ******. This link just showed me there is a Dungeon Master too which I didn't know existed.

They are really cool...brilliant series, now I need a set of those... :roll:

Nice to see these small PVC D&D figures Stuart. This was one of the last animated children series I remember watching before I became to old for such things (well that didn't last forever did it and I must admit that I was a little partial to the GEM animated series that I would watch before getting on the bus to head to Primark for my Saturday job lol).

The AD&D LJN series of figures came out at the same time this series aired which was all that was on offer at the time to play with (as a side note a few of these LJN figure designs were in the animated series although there weren't any of the main characters made from this series by LJN, no idea what happened there really). Nice to see though that something did get released from this great series and I can imagine maybe someone like Super7 doing a run of these figures at some point.

The picture I've included are from the universal studios monsters flashlight/keychain series from 1995. I've recently completed this run by adding the Creature From The Black Lagoon figure and had some fun putting these together. Nearly all of them were pretty cheap with only Wolfman and Creature costing me a little more which tends to be the same way with collecting any of these old Universal figures.

They're pretty simple looking but a nice addition for my growing monster focus.

[Stuart Skinner]

Great run [mention]Palifan[/mention] love that Creature from the Black Lagoon

 

[Palifan]

Great run @Palifan love that Creature from the Black Lagoon

The Creature is always the most expensive figure to get when putting any sort of classic horror run together but after dealing with vintage SW for years I'm not sure any other toy line quite compares price wise.

Gotta love that odd looking figure though

Knickerbocker LOTR probably hammers SW on price per standard figure, loose or MOC but I know what you mean, many other vintage lines are barely worth more now than the release price adjusted for inflation

Just got this beautiful Indy, had to sell my German Uniform Indy and a couple of common Trilogos but it was well worth it

Very nice Carl, such a cool line to get into, I've just bought a couple of chips mocs which I've never owned before, always good to steer away from star wars occasionally, not for too long mind but occasionally
