Found this in my Grandfather's old stuff and was wondering what it was worth?
Each box includes the original figure they are opened but barely used.
THIS IS NOT FOR SALE I AM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE VALUE
Okay, I dug this guy out of a bin at a thrift shop. I know he is old but I can't seem to find any of his replicas anywhere. He's a wind up toy, crawls, his head is supposed to move too but that piece was apparently more fragile than the gears and definitely broke. His head still wobbles though. He's dark army green, only his boots and belt are black. His gun is a shade between the dark army green and black. Has a very clean Made in China sticker on his back and is approximately 6.5 inches long. His face is detailed but unpainted as is his uniform. There's no other identifying marks or stamps on this guy anywhere.
Between my research and AI, I'm not completely satisfied with the findings and still remain unclear on the Production Decade . I'm sure it's a discount store/dime store toy, I wanna make sure I market it correctly. Any help is appreciated.
I can’t remember the brand but it was a 4 wheeled car that when holding a button on the controller the wheels would fold up onto the top of the vehicle and it would then be ready to go into the water and be a boat.
I found this ray gun a couple of weeks ago and wanted to display it.
I was interested because the bags were full of 1993 Star Trek figures. These three were thrown in - had no idea of their value until researching just barely! pretty cool surprise!
Does any else remember playing with Barnyard Commandos and Food Fighters….. I found a box of the complete first series and 2nd my dad got me before he deployed. All in packages, a few even unpunched. It brought a tear to my eye. Was anyone else into these? You can watch all episodes on YouTube for free. It was like “Animal Farm”, but made goofy and fun.
Pretty sure it's 40+ years old.
‘Wanna buy a duck?’ Three bucks for four ducks at OC Savers. Tested the wind-up there and it works. Quack!
While i had GI Joe figures as early as 1983 (born in 1981), I eventually switched from play to collecting. From 1997, until 2023 or so, I set about collecting all of the ARAH line figures, with all file cards, and all accessories. I did so largely from the help of online group, buying and selling lots on Ebay, and perusing vintage stores wherever I went.
My parameters for collecting were to complete all the figures: every accessory and file card that would have originally come with the figure. I was never too into vehicles - so I was really just focused on completing the figure line. I also decided that my version of being a "completist" would mean that I would approach "completion" from the perspective of a child. For example: if I was a kid and I had sent away for Starduster, I wouldn't care about getting a slightly different version (if I had even known that there was a difference) - I would think "I already have that figure". The same thing for the original versions of Steel Brigade. However, if I was a kid and I saw the Gold Head Version, I would think "that's a different figure - I need him!". So I didn't get too into variations of figures to complete my collection - I wanted one complete version of every distinct figure from the perspective of my child self. I believe that resulted in a total tally of about 523 figures.
I have since began collecting some of the smaller scale vehicles as well, and have been working on displaying them. I'll post that in the future.
