Hi all,
Picked this up today, for the extortionately high price of £1...

The packaging's very beaten up, with a big rip & yellowing to the bubble (yet strangely it remains un-punched

)...but with the help of my Ninja assistant, together we shall liberate this miscreant from his incarceration

I'm not sure about that "handshake" at the end T-shot. Looks a bit like Doom and Stormie are in a 'civil partnership' or something..!

Is this a new Dark Reign beginning with Doom and Storm Shadow in charge?

The Secret Wars figures were a lot simple looking compared to what is out now but were good for their time.

Hi & welcome to the site,
I got this from Leicester Vintage & Collectible Toys, 1st time I've been on a day trip to Leicester for years...I'm not shure if they're on-line, but I picked this up from there shop situated in the indoor market , the last couple of times I been to the N.E.C Memorabilia show they've had a stall.
They had a couple more of these in the £1 section, as you can see the packaging's far from perfect but the toy's mint
Hope this helps

It's indeed a wonderful little shop, a bit on the scuzzy side compared to Mr Tree's posh clean place... but I like that sort of dis-organized, slightly grimy feel to shop of this sort, makes you feel like you've unearthed a real treasure as you blow the layers of dust away from long forgotten item of stock
I'm growing to appreciate the Secret Wars figures now I'm older...I like how the (probably totally unauthentic) weapons clip onto Doom's back & thigh, & the shield with pris-matic pictures are fantastic.

Ha! No toy packaging is enough to contain Doom!
