Help ID some bits.

Post by Chopper »

G'day all. Just trying to ID these bits and pieces out of a few job lots from ebay. Does anyone have any idea where these are from?

Image

I scored a huge lot of body parts this week to. I have been restoring some figures and thought it would be cool to make some customs. Lots of red bits and pieces;-)

Here's the recent score;

There is that odd looking 70's female figure I can't make out. There is near a complete "Ace" figure in that pile which pleases me. Just need a Skystriker now;-) Wonder if there will be a 25th release? Any ideas oh toy gurus?

Cheers

are there any date stamps or anything, the 3 police figures are Chap Mei I think, I have 1 at home, don't think their Lanard.

Not a cracker GP. All are barren of any kind of printing. They are a fraction bigger than Joes too. I have a raft I'll have to post later. Its in Z force colours;-)

Here's Shockwave's revenge too;-);

I think the 3 figs may be glasslite Argentinian figures, I only say this because of the center figure having that bullet bandolier (I believe it's the same torso of the A-team Glasslite figs from Argentina though I could be wrong) neat figures whatever they are. I don't know as I've never seen Glasslite or Chap Mei or Remco figures have the swivel arm battle grip which it looks like these figures have.

The 70's looking chick next to Tunnel Rat is a WOW Power Girls figure made by Lanard, I'm not sure of that particular one's name... I have some info on some of them on my computer back home and have used some of them for customs.

The Torso below the 3 mystery guys is Tracker's.

Flint you're a genius, thanks. I hat not knowing about figures I have. I went thru the pile of bits last night and assembled 4 complete and another 4 near complete figures. I managed to identify all the parts bar a half dozen, which I don't think are Joes. One set of parts was an old swivel head straight arm thing. Missing waist head and back unfortunately. The other was 2 sets of legs which appear to be the same vintage and style. I also don't think they are Joes. Only one set of Joe arms left to identify after those. This is kinda cool, like being Indiana Jones;-) The non Joes will probably wind up on my trade list mind you.

Cheers

so many ranges with different parts and accessories and they don't all have websites to help identify anything.

I think Shockwave had better watch his back, old Stormy might only be pretending to be dead.

Amongst the stack of unidentified parts I have are these if anyone can place their origin?

Managed to ID near everything I've accumulated over the last month except the 3 Joe knock off's from the first pic and these;

Girl is Lanard 1999, the black arms are joe but I can't find them anywhere on Yo joe. The other figure bits are lighter than Joe parts, and the head is too big. The Boat isn't Joe but at least its Z Force colours;-)

Any ideas fellers?

Third in from the right is definitely a half used tube of glue? Although it does seem to have a head growing out of it....

The black legs (I think if you look will actualliy have toes and sandals showing underneath the black paint) are a Remco ninja Commonly referred to as "Bolo" the ninja .

The pair of pants with the pads to the right of them are also Remco figure legs but I couldn't tell you which fig (possibly from the "National Defense Force" line).

The almost complete fig next to that if you ID let me know I have a complete one in olive drab to a forest green like color as opposed to your brown one. Mine has no marks on it what-so-ever and he is a neat fig but I have NO IDEA who or what he is.

The head I an't see well enough to tell you.

The arms are the original Eels arms.

Your other 3 mystery figs I still couldn't figure out their torsos aren't the Glasslite A-team torso's I originally thought.

That's what was left after I pulled the Spitfire off his nose;-) Actually it was the only thing I had to hand to hold his head straight.

Thanks again Flint, and will do. No markings on any of the figure parts to distinguish, no luck on the boat either. Bang on the money as per the joe parts as usual;-) I'd never heard of Remco before, most of the stuff in NZ in that era was pommy.

Atm I'm using the legs in a couple of temporary customs (till some more Joe parts are replaced). I don't need them mind you and will wind up in my trades now I've got time to sort them. If you want any of it just let me know.
