Blood for the Baron!

Right, that's it. I'm going to have to set fire to myself.

I really, really want all of the figures in this thread!!!! Greed is a terrible thing. I blame you Baron. Is this how you brain washed the Red Shadows into following your every command?

Don't be hasty!

Set fire to your neighbours, then yourself.

forget the head sculpt - check the trews!

His trew are perfect! What ya talking about Annie? I wear ones just like that all the time????

This thread has refreshed my appetite for these lovely 80's Mego/Ertl style figs, so am now scouring the Bay once more and trying to avoid extortionate US shipping fees!

In the meantime (and with apologies to long time members who've probably seen most of these pics about a year ago) here are some of my faves from the "80's collection" so far-

The Dukes:-



Looking for a loose Jesse and Cooter yet, as you can see - them Duke Boys are lacking a father figure (Rosco has loaned Wild Bills hat, as his head was getting cold!)

MOC Dukes (Mego)


Looking out for a good MOC Cletus, as mine has a bad split down the side, and is eventually going to be loose. Just in case anyone spots one.

UK released Dukes
Ok, now, I realise I will now get heavily mocked for being variant obsessed, but these weren't released as Mego in the UK, but by "Trafalgar Toys". I've never heard of them other than for these Dukes figures, but I'm sure our Dave will know where their storeroom is.





And, for Andy's comparison - Face like a Smacked Arse Daisy v Face a bit less like a Smacked Arse Daisy:



CHIPS!!!!



Mego in the US:-


Ideal over here:-


They didn't even bother using all the cardback on the UK versions look: (first pic is US, second is UK)





Anyway, you can see now that my variant obsession isn't limited to AF at least! And I'm still after the Fall Guy. And Magnum. And Airwolf. And Blue Thunder. Gotta love these 80's toys!

where there 3 3/4 star trek figs??

anyone got any, pics???

Bill

There are Bill, yes. They were from the Motion Picture era though. I sold some a while ago on Ebay as I decided they didn't mean enough to me for me to collect them. Let me check my old pictures.....

I didn't know you'd been tempted into those Bill! Are you going loose or MOC?

I've finished Buck now, settling for just series 1 of BSG and Black Hole for the time being, so sort of taking a breather. (he says knowing full well he'll be sorely tempted if a Series 2 BSG figure comes along!)

I have a MOC Twiki and Ardella coming along for sale if I can tempt you at all?
