Hmmm... what's the button do? I don't really know much about vintage Indy figures.

Indy 1:18 horse is a good find! A fresh coat of white paint would work wonders.
I got my hooded CC :-)
Also got another Alley Viper, that fills the top tray in my Cobra tackle-box.
Not sure if I will get anymore after this. They are very hard to find without cracked elbows.
And got a vintage Destro to play around with :-)
I'm currently using him with the 2000 Destro torso.
I painted the hands silver too. I like how he looks so far, but the arms are a little too big for the torso, so it doesn't close all the way.
I'm sure I will figure out some way to fix it.
I'll try to take & post some pics tonight or tomorrow.

Alley Viper is one of my all time favorites.

I always liked the gold on hooded CC.

The mail-away Hooded Cobra Commander led the battle against my G.I.JOE's growing up since he was the only one I had as a kid...
till the 1987 armored version came out.

Hmmm... what's the button do? I don't really know much about vintage Indy figures. Button moves the legs for galloping action. It's hidden under the saddle bags when the horse has the saddle. The horse was reuse of horses from Kenner's Butch and Sundance: The Early Days movie toy line, an obscure series. I guess Kenner thought they could strike gold after Star Wars. They were gonna make it a Real West line with actual historical characters but cancelled it after making a western cantina using the base mold from the Star Wars cantina. |

 The Classic X-Men issue was the only one a tad more, while the rest were just common back issues that are cheap. More holes filled here and there. |

  Hmm... my other eBay lot. I'd say most of these are in VF condition. But good enough to fill in missing issues. Cyclops' reaction on that Classic X-Men cover cracks me up. |

Villains TMNT set: Pre-ordered both from EE as they had free shipping with them, so it felt like the better deal than pile of looting them with BBTS. The package comes in a White Box, then the Drill Module within it, then the carded figures with in it. The packaging can work as a carrying case, I suppose, but its cardboard. The artwork on all sides is fun effort. It opens by the front and can be re-closed. The cards have Nick on them and none of the old filecards on the back, so I think they are a low point for this series of reproduction figs. Quick thoughts: * Weapon Trees suck * Slash is an excellent figure, but is tiny next to the others, wonder if figures got smaller as the line went on * Bebop is the worst figure, lots of unpainted detailing, Rocksteady has a belt, which allows him to hold his knife and good color contrast * The Foot Solider has a nice outwordly quality I always liked * My vintage Android Krang also looks under scaled big time next to these figures * Baxter Stockman's swatter originally was two pieces, this reproduction makes it one, the its supposed to clamp onto his wrist, but if done with this version, the swatter is turned inward

I feel Cyclops's pain.
That G.I.JOE yearbook is awesome just because of Croc Master!
Nice haul! TMNT is so much fun.
I got an original 1983 Doc, and another Big Boa because the paint on the legs on mine had been affected by the sun?
I don't know, but between the two, I made a decent one, so yay :-)

The Baroness is a very solid figure and I always felt Doc looked cool. Red works well as a contrast to the brown and then the shades are just too cool. Looks like a man to be respected.

Baroness is a gem.
Doc didn't come with any of his gear except the helmet, but I still have his stretcher from the one when I was a kid.
The torso and waist look off in the pic, but I can't tell in person. I like him and Lifeline as part of the Tomohawk crew.
Not sure if I have his mortar flare still, not too worried about it. Doc can handle himself :-)
I don't know what was up with those Big Boa legs, I almost felt like sending it back to the seller, but the torso, arms & gloves were good, and I could here Duke in my head, "Underneath it all, I know there's a Joe worth saving." lol
