Some cool Vintage goodness.
« on: September 14, 2019, 04:40:23 PM »
I figured that alot of you might like this:

Earlier this week, while helping me locate an errant package, my supervisor discovered that I collect action figures. He told me he was going to bring in something for me to look at and brought this in today.

The figures are in remarkably good shape for items that were played with. C3-PO's chrome is perfect, the Death Squad Commanders have perfect rank insignia and none of the vinyl capes are torn. They have a slight smoke odor as my supervisor is a smoker, but it is not terrible. Some of the figures, most notablybthe Death Squad Commanders, are slightly tacky as the plasticizer is beginning to leach out of the plastic (very common for toys of this age), but they are still pretty cool to look at.

The Vaders are actually variants, one has smaller details on the belt buckle and chest rig while the other has larger, more deliniated details on them.

Very cool! There were some Vintage auctions on ebay yesterday which was I was going to share here, too! What a nice coincidence to bring back some nostalgia to this topic.

So did your supervisor borrow all the goodies to you to look at or did he actually give them to you?

Very nice samples of a long time ago. If you can keep them, just water will do magic to get rid of the smoke odor over time.


Very nice collection there! Thanks for sharing!

He just gave them to me for the weekend to check them out. They go back to him tomorrow.
