Those Artwork books look great, the MOTU artwork is brilliant in my opinion

Nice pickup on the 64 deck that brings back memories, although the first I bought was the spectrum plus 3 :? Showing my age!

Pick up to go with He Man ...battle armour Skeletor original moc and bubble, there is a battle armour Skeletor figure on his way

Some comics as well, so popped one into the He Man moc, just need his weapons now

I had a Sinclair but we never had any leads or games for it so it just became a novelty thing to look at, I don't even know where it came from. :lol:

I love the battle armour figures, are you planning on resealing a large run of MOTU MOC's?

No mate, just a few, the ones my lad had when he was young, Man At Arms, & a couple of others.

Cool, looking forward to seeing the other reseals.

Can't go wrong on a fiver, especially if it's a mail away, would imagine they are harder to come by, nice one 8)

Gotta be the most random vintage purchase iv'e ever acquired. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Didn't really care what film it was as long it was 90's or earlier, also had to get this from the US because I just could not for the life of me find one in the UK, surprising considering how many of these bloody things existed. But maybe the only people left with these were the ones who rented a tape then completely forgot all about taking it back, because Blockbuster probably would have destroyed all these when moving over to DVD and nobody ever thought to intentionally keep any.

Congratulations on finally getting one, I know you'd been after one for ages. "Grail" item acquired :lol:

Picked up this Tsukuda Action Man.
Lots of history with Palitoy, this one.

Happy days, there's something new in this thread!

I don't really know anything about this particular Action Man but it looks pretty amazing to me and love the box it came in.

Any info appreciated and nice to see.

Thanks.

Tsukuda bought the rights to sell Action Man from Palitoy in 1984.
Tsukuda used the 1978 Eagle Eye body and its own uniforms.
There are fhree types: Green Beret, USMarine, and German paratrooper.
They come boxed and the uniforms were also released on cards.

Hard to find now. The German being the most sought after.

Here is a photo of the back of the box for us Palitoy fans:

Great info so thanks for writing that up. Interesting that someone bought up the rights and now those are quite hard to come by, how little we knew back then.

Love the outfit on yours as well.

[tobedesu]

Thanks, but i read the info online and pretty much passed it on here.
I found a couple in a shop in tokyo.
I didnt know much about them so did some research.

Got hold of a couple of LCD games, Bank Raid I bought a few weeks ago but forgot to post it up here so i'm posting it together with this new game I got last week, Sea Battle which is a Tandy branded game ( man I used to love my local Tandy's ). I remember going into Tandy's with my dad and buying that game for my 9th birthday with money my nan gave me, I remember the game cost £5 which was the cheapest one I remember seeing inside the glass counter display at the till.

 

[Michael Sith]

Love seeing these old retro games, I have a snes that I need to hook up to the new TV and try and find the original Starfox game, bloody loved that would love to play it again.

Finally managed to pick up the weapons to complete He Man, now need to decide how I put them in the moc for display, I think they originally were in a little plastic bag in the moc, will have to do a little research and play around with it.

Starfox was amazing ( or Starwing for the UK version ), that was the very first game I ever played on it and was blown away by the graphics. :lol:

Well done completing He-Man, just looked at mine and the weapons are in a heat sealed bag behind the figure, same with Skeletor his sword is behind the figure in the bag but the staff is loose and in front of the figure. Also don't know if you know about it but the figures are also weirdly standing inside an open clear bag which comes up to the knees, like they're standing in a sack, might be something you'd want to replicate that new look with.

 

[Michael Sith]

Yes, think I will display with weapons loose for now, trying to replicate exactly using vintage components will be a nightmare, happy with it if weapons are loose. Yes I noticed the "sack" plastic bag, again think it will be too much to try and source.

Starfox, will have to try and get it for snes, that will be a blast from the past

You could probably get one of those grip seal baggies and cut the seal part off, and then seal the weapons inside using one of those Brevell toastie machines just to seal the edge off, should look almost like the real thing then.

Got this Christmas prezzie from my best mate scooternick. It's not official but amazingly well done.

 

[lejackal]

Lovely stuff, I think those ReAction figures, and the card art, are fantastic.

Continuing the retro games theme my latest pick up is this Japanese SoulCalibur for Dreamcast to go with the other bits I've got.

 

[lejackal]

Just got the NTSC version in today as well :mrgreen:

 

[Seahawks]

Updated my CHiPs display since I last shared it here. Added a patrol car and a custom Baricza along with autographs from Ponch and Jon themselves (met them at a local convention).

CHiPs was my favorite TV show growing up.

I did love CHiPs as a kid, one of my fav shows along with the bionic man of course, (TJ Hooker comes to mind as well), ahh the late 70's early 80's TV you can't beat it, really nice collection Seahawks,
