What is the larger round orange Archie item?  Looks like a target.  Or whoopie. 

Patrick

It's a toy tambourine, made of tin, by Emenee, c. 1969.

Wow! Where did you get the Ben Cooper Halloween costume still in the box? What a find!!!

My family found it at Brass Armadillo Antique Mall near Kansas City a few years ago, but I've seen a few pop up on eBay over the last year. I love all things Archie, so despite how creepy some of Ben Cooper's Halloween masks are, it was a perfect gift for me!  

I also have the Josie (of Josie and the Pussycats) costume and mask (without the box), and another Archie mask (c. 1990) in my collection. 

I still need to find the Sabrina The Teenage Witch costume and mask though. The hunt continues... 

I hope to pick up a comic book rack and/or spinner rack with Archie on it sometime soon! It is definitely needed in my collection, as I plan to convert my home office into a comic/toy room this year. Please let me know if and when you all hear of and/or see one for sale in the Midwest (or find one with reasonable shipping costs). 

According to ActionFigureInsider and ToyHypeUSA, Icon Heroes sent along a press release announcing their reveals at this years New York ToyFair. These include Karate Kid 6″ figures, Robotech 12″ scale statues, Golden Girls Bobbleheads, Sabrina figurines, Riverdale figurines, and Friends figurines. 

I'm looking forward to adding the Riverdale and Sabrina figures to my collection. 

I'm happy to report I now have a complete set of Archie busts by Diamond Select  

And, if you missed it, I completed my set of Archie figures by Dark Horse last year

I actually found three Archie ones with these.  I assume they are not really worth much.  But you can't complain when you find them and don't have to pay for them (unless I have to pay to get rid of them...then that's another story).

Check out the Any experts on Spire Christian Comics out there? thread for more info, if you haven't already. I have most of their Archie comics in my collection, as my Catholic grandmother bought them for me.

If you get a chance, can you take a pic of the backs of the Archie carded figures?

Patrick

Unfortunately, the back of the packaging is blank.

Hi everybody. I'm a longtime Archie collector who has been aware of these boards but hasn't posted anything until now. 

Welcome! It's always great to meet another Archie collector!

Ah interesting angle but not what I was shooting for. At the witches school...all the paintings, about 150 of them rotating for various scenes, are real oils by Clive Barker.

Interesting!

I was excited to see Sabrina with a vintage Archie Comics thermos in the first episode.

I don't have Archie No. 1 - 10 or 50 in my collection (yet!), but I did just recently acquire three unused postcards featuring Archie No. 30, 43 and 50, c. 1986 for my collection 

I recently purchased three more unused postcards featuring Laugh No. 32, Laugh No. 41 and Pep Comics No. 93.

I like the packaging on those. 

If you get a chance, can you post a pic of the backs? 

Patrick

It is blank -  brown cardboard on the back of each doll.

Thansk for all the love everyone...been a long time coming for sure. I’ve got a few more ideas I wanna do with the room but she’s awesome as is. 

Are all the bookcases and cabinets from IKEA? I've been looking at the Billy Bookcases with Glass Doors for my collection. Any cons? What are the names of the smaller cabinets? Thanks!

Here's a pic of a built one with a broken down tire.  

They look pretty hard to find. 

Patrick

Definitely! I've been looking for one in the box for 20 years! 

Just now, followtheleader said:

Is this new to the boards = "affiliatelinksnotallowed "?  

Not seen that before. 

Patrick

Not sure! It kept appearing in my post, despite editing it 5x times.

I think I see a seated figure there at the left...

Yes, I had to edit my last post to "sitting," as "are always seated" was automatically replaced with "outside-affillatelinksnotallowed." Weird.

Cool!

Is it open? If so, let's see some pics.

I am also interested in what's inside.  I wonder if the characters have alternate lower halves (so that they could either be standing outside the vehicle or seated inside)?

It has been opened, but never built, as many of the pieces are still attached to their original plastic brackets. The figures, according to the instructions, are always sitting in the jalopy. 

I'm a HUGE Archie Comics collector, and, although it took me a few episodes (i.e. Miss Grundy), I'm also a fan of Riverdale.
