A good day in the SteveD residence....

LOL looks to me like the plastic Roscoe is "spanking the wookie"

why do they make toys in such "adult" poses?

Oh er... Erin Grey in a tight suit....damn the 70's were good.

Too right!!!!!

Crikey she looked like those outfits of hers were sprayed on

Remember the "off think" episode? Priceless

[Space Commander]

I also remember the BSG and Star Trek (motionless picture) figures.

I really love Star Trek; The Motion Picture because of its mood and it's cerebral story. Although I can understand why its slow pace doesn't appeal to most!

F*ck me! Those are ace items you scored!

[paulitoy]

-

Those sets are massively impressive!

It must be be SO difficult - and expensive - to complete those runs.

I congratulate you Steve-o!

The Buck Rogers stuff looks so much more modern when compared with the DoH stuff... I take it they were produced at about the same time?

Daisy's hotpants look rather uncomfortable to me

They look even more uncomfortable to me!!!!

The Dukes stuff is very early 80's, the Buck Rogers is a tad later I think (I'll check tonight). Dukes stuff is weird - Bo and Luke are articulated, rest are straight limbed. For no discernable reason. Although I guess you might say the same about our beloved Action Force. The Flash Gordon stuff (not pictured) is all about straight limbs - very akin to Star Wars and series 1 AF.

Cheers guys! I'm really pleased with them all - and you're right Paul it's not been cheap at times, but I was lucky enough to pull some money out of the world economy before it went tits up, so I just figure i've blown the money I would have lost anyway! Or re-invested in small plastic men (that I'll never sell) rather than being pissed up the wall by some stockbroker who gets a fat bonus for losing my money! Ahem, anyway, sorry - bit of a rant there...

It's been a bit of renaissance of collecting for me, as I've been scouring the internet for them all and it's really taken me back to the early days of collecting the old AF sets. Ahhhhhh, he sighs, remembering it fondly....

Hardest guy to get was definitely Twiki. He was one of those "huge snipe bids in last few seconds, to make sure you get it, and cry when you realise that the hugely high bid has pretty much all been used on it". Or, as I think the Baron put it a while back when we were talking about a Roboskull - the problem of a last minute bidder meeting another last minute bidder!

Just need a bit of space now, and some shiny cases to store them all in/stop me squishing them....and a few Flash Gordon figures....and maybe a Cylon or two....

Fantastic collection steve !!!!

but how can you not be tempted to rip them open and "appreciate" them ?

I have some loose Dukes to hand! And one or two more on their way...and you'll be pleased to learn Boss's hat is a perfect fit for Stormshadow. I'll have some fun with that one later!

[SteveD]

Yes! After seemingly months of waiting my Daisy "non face like a smacked arse" variant is finally here! Pics when i get the chance (more commonly known as the "Long Haired variant", but I think it was Andy who coined the new variant name, which I like better!)

Sorry, not AF, I know.
