Blood for the Baron!

no Baron she's 18 but she'll always be my little girl no matter how grown up

Without wishing to threadjack (but then going on to sort of do so anyway) what other "wrong coloured" figures like this chap are rare?

I only ask as I have a MISB Funskool Wild Weasel (Red Wolf), and am already planning what I can do with the £1000. Or the £5?

Anyone got any ideas?

(Nipping in with a quick question, before Steve's hijack gets into full flow.

Wow, were these things that rare back then or was this a very wise piece of prediction buying?

Either way good on 'yer!)

NO it was really rare then too. It was in the Lees toy review article this was the 2nd one I ever saw (the first one sold for 900 then I paid 700 for this one) I know when this one's gone I'll never see another one (I haven't seen one on ebay in 17 years)

sorry red wild weasel is common as sin. MOC they only draw $10-20 us. about 3 years ago they were on smalljoes.com for like 5.00 each

rare india's in non us joe colors
baby blue snake eyes nad black snake eyes with silver highlights (83 mold)
baby blue Short fuze (83 mold)
baby blue hawk 83 mold
yellow torpedo
royaly blue and yellow major Bludd 83 mold
Neon Green Zap 83
Stalker 83 cammo but a caucasian instead of black
2 different Icerbergs all different paints all white instead of black
Red stalker of course
there are probalby some but most of the india color varients are really common

there were way more gawkers than bidders so either there are way more of these in collections I don't know about or lots of people just had to see how high it went.
I can't complain about the final price though

SteveD if you look at the stores section of ebay (US) and use gijoe india as keywords sort high to low to see what is common and isn't

also yojoe's international archive doesn't have prices but does have lots of off pieces argentina brazil and india have the most stuuf other than UK. as a collector of joe in general I can say AF is the only line I want everything for (still need a blach hyena with the transition stripes decals)
