Latest Haul

Good stuff this past weekend.


The wrestler-looking guy on the left is a "Weird Ball G.R.U.N.T. Team Spitball Louie" figure.  MIP the things go for $100+.  I'll just say that that one figure will pay for everything else in the picture.  The line is birthed out of the madballs craze back in the 1980s.

Some of the other figures look like He-man knockoffs.  That's because they are.  REMCO made some pretty good ones, and then some other companies got similar molds and started making similar figures for dollar stores back in the 1980s.  Many are wrestling-themed.  The Action Figure Archive has probably the best current archive, with a bunch more discussed on the forums.

The purple guy is an incomplete "Auger" figure from Inhumanoids, a wholly underrated line with some neat monster figures.

The white guy with horns and yellow bee are The White Knight and Meuton from the Blackstar figure line.  They're okay - the line does have some devotees, as it's more or less a He-man knockoff line in its own right with decent figures.

The red dune buggy in the middle I grabbed because it is specifically tagged as being "Made in West Germany."  Well-made little buggy, too.

Those hot wheels from the 1980s are in VERY good shape.  I target the Stingray Corvettes specifically for my personal collection.

That's all for now.  Good hunting!
