Other Vintage Collections

[ZippyNL]

Thanks chaps. Spoons, glad to know it wasn't just me that remembers them

 

[x-pack]

On the subject of other collections, I just have to say that the strangest things rocket in value.

Bought a replica model of the Plymouth Fury from the film Christine, must have been back in 2007/8 for about £25. Been looking on eBay recently and they are on for about £100+ :shock:

Mine is now listed MIB with a start price of £75. Not particularly attached to it so what the hell

Get the proceeds from that and spend on vintage 8)

...just had an offer for the asking price!

Toys are great

Here are my fisherprice adventure people
I owned these figures as a child except my astro pilot was blue.
I love the style and packaging of the figures and they worked well with SW figures.

 

[Palifan]

Love those Fisher Price figures, those were the first action figures I remember having and used to play with them in the bath. I also have the two green ones and Clawtron as well as a couple of space ships and like how the packaging is quite small up to Star Wars card backs.

Great condition and really nice to see

[Bootyhunter]

Thanks Ian, I had been on the look out for these for sometime so
really chuffed to find them :mrgreen: I do vaguely remember seeing
these figures in the toy shops (on a much smaller rack than the SW)
X-ray woman has a cracked bubble but I can live with that... For now

 

[spoons]

Those figure are a blast from te pat - I haven't seen them since I was a kid. Great set!

 

[Cazza]

They're brill 8) Is that a complete set, or were there more? I seem to remember one of those black helmeted guys with normal hands.

No there are plenty of different sets from divers to dune buggy drivers
There are a few more space figures too, you say you remember the guy with the black
helmet but with normal hands? Possibly because fisher price would reuse some of the
moulds for other figures (sound familiar ?)

Adventure People are well cool. Definitely on the up. Do we know roughly how many were released?

From memory I think 79 but could be wrong?

Its been quiet on the Star Wars front recently but Action Force has filled some collecting holes:

Its also considerably cheaper than Star Wars as well, which is nice.

 

[BlueDog]

Been slowly collecting these M.U.S.C.L.E. figures with my 7yr old as he showed some interest in them. Used to have a few of these as a kid and loved them. Only another 180 odd left to go :shock:

 

[spoons]

my latest buy thnaks to Slim - a Madelman Cosmic Piloto

It's about 6" high and I've not owned one of these since I was a lad. Now to get the orange one and the ship

 

[x-pack]

Wow that's crazy Never seen one of those before. What a cool figure 8)

 

[spoons]

They are like mini Spanish Action men - the pirate set is fantastic!

 

[Palifan]

Couple of new things

Ian

 

[spoons]

Couple of great lines there - Space 1999 and Stat Trek, quality!

 

[Palifan]

The thermos tin is a little beat up but still great images. space 1999 was one of the strangest shows I remember watching growing up but I did love those eagle spaceships. I also seem to keep buying from the reaction line and as I don't have any aliens from the vintage Star Trek line I couldn't pass these two new ones up. I've ordered the Flash Gordon set of figures as well from the 80's film as this was also a line of figures I would have loved to see back in the day.

I really do need to stop buying these new mocs but they keep making ones that I'm attracted to ( damn them!!). I just hope they release some Blade Runner ones at some point as they really would be the ones I'd go for over all the rest.

[Bootyhunter]

I hate to say this but..
Those Star Trek figures look pretty cool

 

[spoons]

I had a sort out of my toy room last weekend and moved the action men in. Still mostly SW though

 

[Palifan]

Nice Action Man collection.

I remember these well growing up and I'm sure one day I'll end up picking one up for old times sake.

[Princess Raya]

Wow! Only just discovering this thread. BlueDog, you just rescued some long forgotten memories for me. Used to love these little dudes.

[Palifan]

This new take on them looks fun to!

[BlueDog]

Thanks Raya, yeah I have fond memories of these plus Battlebeasts. Those two were probably the last toys I had any real interest in before I started getting to that age where we leave toys behind as a kid and start focussing on other interests like, girls and cars LOL.

Awesome link Ian, they are very cool. I know there have been some customs done using M.U.S.C.L.E. to do MOTU in the past so it's a great idea for sure. Might have to get me some!

 

[x-pack]

Wow those MOTU are really cool. The Skeletor one is mental :lol:

 

[Palifan]

I really like the super7, reaction toy line and had to bag a set of these -

These ones aren't quite for me but at 12" tall I think they'll be a hot seller -

Is there no end to these great items that keep appearing!?

Ian

 

[theforceuk]

Wow those He-Man muscle men are mental. Love the Action Man and Muscle Men collection as well. :shock:

 

[Michael Sith]

Love the custom MOTU..Skeletor and Faker are great 8)

 

[db94]

Pretty sure I didn't post this up when I got it -

One of my favourite toys as a kid so pretty chuffed to have this on my desk, might even pop it into on of Christian's cases.


Think these are A Team weapons, my figures are long gone and no intention of tracking down replacements so if anyone needs them to complete a figure let me know.
