I've listed these two on eBay tonight. I'm pretty pleased with them!

I think I've explained everything in the listings, but if anyone needs any extra info, please pm me.

Some of you should recognise the filecard on the back of the Skeletron!!

Love it!!

One confusing thing though, Minesweeper sez:

"The minesweeper figure, backpack, mines and mine detector, and the bubble are all genuine vintage Palitoy Action Force"

followed by

"The figure upon close inspection is a reproduction"

Need to tweak that, I think.

Nice job Paul
Just one thing, did you say "the figure on closer inspection is a reproduction" in the listing?

Thank you guys, just changed it!

You may want to add the word "custom" or "replica" to the auction title, ebay can be pretty sh*tty about copyright laws.

Thanks Louie! Yes, the custom Skeletron opens up many possibilities - my most favourite 'to do' is a mail-away commander on a 'first 12' cardback.

I could also get some custom figures re-carded, such as this one:



Re: the bubbles -

You can either superglue them on or use clear double-sided tape. Both are really fiddly so I'd recommend doing a few test runs first as you are bound to mess up a bit!
