mate all I can saying is ******* awesome

 

[Seahawks]

Thanks fellas. They are 3 3/4 scale made by Mego in 1977. The motorcycles came out in 1980. They only made 5 figures (I still need to track down the 2 bad guys loose).

 

[Palifan]

Something else for the list :lol:

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

very very pretty mate, I have a small but growing collection of he man moc's, very envious of yours

 

[theforceuk]

Wow those He-Man MOC are a thing of beauty. Love Prince Adam and He-Man next to each other, Skelator is a gem as well. :shock:

I think I have one loose one somewhere that I picked up in a lot years ago. I didn't know what it was at the time but quite liked the look of it. I don't remember this toylike at all from the toy shops but it probably was a bit after my time.

Sorry I can't really reminisce with you about it but post a picture up if you get the chance as it would be nice to take a look.

Added this hard to find piece to my CHiPs collection today. First time I'd seen one come up for sale.

 

[Palifan]

It's a beauty for sure, going to have to keep my eye out for a loose one, nice!

Great seeing those chips figures.
I had them as a kid, don't know if they're boxed up in the loft...fingers crossed.
I can't remember having the bikes though. Did they come without the bikes at all?

 

[Seahawks]

As far as I know, the Ponch with Motorcycle two pack was the only one they did. From what I understand it was late in the line and a last ditch effort to market them. They did not sell well back in the day as they are pretty poor quality. The motorcycle is very detailed however, but the figures don't sit on them very well.

They all were available separately, including the bike (which came out in 1980). Here is a pic of the collection I had a few years back. Unfortunately I sold them off as needed to make a few bucks at the time (and have regretted it ever since), but have slowly been trying to get them back. Still need to track down a Jon and Motorcycle on card.

CHIPS toys so cool , good luck with recollecting them, I have sold many things I have regretted afterwards from childhood action man / matchbox collection to a 1967 vw beetle all sold in the early 90's, ended up collecting some of the matchbox I sold just to hold them again. tried to find another 67 beetle the same, peal white but never found an affordable one, at least I kept my beloved bmx Californian mongoose which I still ride, would have regretted that forever

 

[tobedesu]

Seahawks, thanks for clearing that up.
I'm certain I just had John and Ponch .

 

[tobedesu]

A bit more Action Man. My favourite of the 5 figures I have.

Thanks man. I luckily still have the majority of my childhood SW collection, but I sold all my GI Joe figures when I was in college in the mid 90's. Stupid me!!

Those 60's Beetles are getting tougher and tougher to come by. That's awesome you still have your BMX.

Seahawks, thanks for clearing that up.
I'm certain I just had John and Ponch .

No problem at all.

My latest bits following on from having stopped collecting SW for a while, obviously kept a couple of bits but mainly buying random stuff I like the look of

Dolly mixture Carl !!

 

[Palifan]

Nothing wrong with random and I feel we all need a SW break every now and then, it's good for the soul (as well as pocket!).

Great collection and I'm sure soon enough that space will be framed with different pieces and personally I find a great joy looking over a varied collection.

[Seahawks]

Very cool Ian. I see the A-Team have made an appearance in your collection. I pity the fool!!

I actually just picked up a Face figure for a custom I'm working on.

Thanks Ian, you're not wrong - simply can't bring myself to pay the current prices for the items I want so a bit of cheap, cheerful and varied was much needed
