Other Vintage Collections

brilliant additions to the action force collection, and snake mountain looks great to, very cool

 

[Cazza]

Thanks mate.

Yeah Grinchy Snake Mountain looks good next to Castle Grayskull, just running out of room!

That AF pricing is eye watering, Cazza ..just shows that there are so many vintage collecting options out there that are on a par with SW Vintage for rarer items ..get a pic up of your AF collection would love to see it, even though I know beggar all about AF it's always good to see other vintage collections that stir a passion in others, thats what this thread is all about!

Can anyone recommend any forums for 80's toys?
In amongst my SW figures there was 2 Visionaries (Witterquick & Cravex), a V1 Destro GI Joe & a Shock Trooper Action Force figure.
Just looking for some advice on worth/value from ppl in the know rather than just using eBay sold prices.
Cheers

 

[lejackal]

Do you want Facebook groups or proper forums?
@Cazza could probably help with Action Force and I dare say there are others on here for the other lines

Destro probably a tenner? Shock Trooper under five and something between the two for Witterquick and Cravex I would say.

 

[UKS]

I'm member of forums for both - and the AF/Joe will move significantly quicker than the Visionaries. It seems most V collectors have the figures already. They are all hunting the rare stuff. (Reekon and his vehicle, Feryl and his)

Thanks UKS
Just a couple that were mixed in with my SW. Think there might be a couple more, still got some boxes/tubs to go thro, cheers

 

[Cazza]

Agree with UKS- SAS Attack Trooper £3-4, Destro £10.

Oolas Booty and loads of Action Force groups on Facebook- just do a search. Blood for the Baron is a great forum similar to here, but is VERY quiet these days. Amazing for research though.

Thanks Cazza, I'll have a look

Found these in amongst my vintage MOTU figures, looking for some help identifying them please.
1st one, silver arm & legs parts are removable
2nd & 3rd look as if from the same line
4th is similar to MOTU & has a lighter like wheel on the back that makes the chest/chain light up.
Much appreciated folks

The last one is John Blackstar

Blackstar figures

The only one I know. I had the Overlord with the sparking action as a kid

Cheers guys. There's no maker, year or COO on any of them & was unsure.

First one is an X-Changer. (That's why the arms and legs come off) I had one as a child bought from ASDA - I've picked up a couple since.
Sergeant Skarr below. (That photo is prototypes so they don't exactly match. My Childhood Daark Lord never had blue on his helmet)

Perfect, cheers UKS!
Makes sense as I found these & thought it was MOTU but didn't match up with any of them.

Looking at X-Changers & found that the other 2 are "Cosmic Cowboys".
Chief Alpha Lance & Sgt Alpha Cody.
Thanks for the help

 

[colin310]

Just to update after matching these up with accessories….
Sgt Skarr; missing an additional claw hand
Chief Iron Lance; missing a gun
Sgt Alpha Cody; missing gun & rifle


Also have John Blackstar's "Star Sword" that still glows in the dark!

 

[colin310]

Had some time to go through more boxes & take pictures…..
MOTU



Tub is full of weapons/staffs/chest pieces etc…think most figures are 100% complete with only a couple bits missing. Bag in tub also has Modulok.
8 original comics aswell.

 

[colin310]

Some TMNT & just a couple of (I think) rarer Thundercats

There's doubles of the turtles (bro had them aswell) & probably about another 20 Thundercat figures aswell as the thunder tank, sky cutter & mutant fist pounder.

I think I was just at the right age for all of these coming out.
Prob be a bit of dubiety with my bro abt the TC but I'm claiming them all!!

Nice @colin310 love the MOTU stuff, very nice!
