Blood for the Baron!

Solely judging on the pictures, this would be a lot I could (& would) pick up for 30 euros max in Holland. Nice lot, but nothing ultra rare. It contains mostly common figures, most of them far from complete.

Nothing to worry about if your kids wrecks it. Let him play, I'd say!

Agreed. Let the boy play!

Please could you give us a close-up for the backpack in the Blades figure? If it's what I think it is, it's the US convention exclusive colour variant!

In which case, you've struck oil.

Are you talking about another convention exclusive, because as far as I know Blades was released with totally different accessories? http://www.yojoe.com/action/convention/ ... re92.shtml

Looking at the rest of the lot, all from the eighties, I find it hard to believe that this will be from 1992. I've seen S.A.S. Blades with accessories before and sure it was not coming from the States. We're talking Palitoy here, company or variants...

I will get a better pick of Blades - thanks for the comments, great fun to rediscover this.

I am going to have a look for more, if i find any i will post.

Like you can trust the NoJoe archives...

I've never known where that version of Blades came from, assumed it was a US Tripwire variant... seeing as metal detectors and landmines are fairly pointless in a helicopter!

I know the official Hawk and Blades release had no figure accessories at all.

I agree it doesn't make any sense to have a mine detector in your chopper, but the same can be said about Moondancer carrying a bazooka in a space ship. Thinking of which, I think that picture is wrong in the archives. It was Dolphin carrying a bazooka.

I am almost 100% positive that Blades on your website in the Palitoy blister is definately NOT from USA origin. I'll ask around. I am positive a fellow Dutch collector has this stuff and it's NOT from the USA.

So Blades didn't come with black Tripwire accessories? I based my custom on the pic in the archives for reference.

I guess you didn't read the description?

I'd say keep; if your young 'un doesn't like them then they'll still sell in years to come.

My lad is well into his AF stuff (re-bought 'cos I gave my stuff away to a younger cousin years ago), and it's odd things like the Q Force Surfer figure that he really likes, because of the mic-in-helmet.
