Not a huge haul, but some interesting pieces.
MIP Rambo figure - Nomad. Try to not be too offended. I think they were going for every stereotype. I don't hate this line - I actually think the accessories for it are the best part. The guns and weapons packs available are pretty good. The figures are a little fragile, though. The Matchbox cars are dated 1983, and still MIP.
Quick bit of trivia - the body count in the first Rambo movie: 1.
Next is the interesting bit. These are essentially knockoffs of knockoffs. From some of the information I have, these GIJoe-style figures were probably some sort of "impulse buy" items at KMart or similar store checkout counters. The price on the back of them is .57 each or 2/$1. They're similar to the early Remco figures, like the A-Team. I wonder where the molds wound up...
Ah, and Snap and two Crackles. Didn't someone notice something was wrong...
Here's a Nintendo gaming watch and some Russian tin windup toys. They're fun and I can't get them to work.
Finally, Some dollhouse furniture, I think from the 1970s. It sort of fits Joes - as Bo Duke attests, but is a little big.
I may post some more of the furniture as pics get taken, but that was the big stuff this past weekend. I also managed to unload a TON of my stock, particularly a bunch that I haven't sold in a couple of years for a decent price.
