Upcoming mezco One 1:12 Collective Fantastic Four. I've already given in and preordered this. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/167328

I don't always like Mezco's updates to characters, but thank goodness for the FF it's just a nice, classic team. 

I pre-ordered as well.  I'm not a fan of most Mezco cloth goods, and the uniforms on these look somewhat like sweaters, but the Thing looks spectacular, and the accessories are incredible.  Mr. Fantastic's stretchy swappable parts look hella fun too, I wish Hasbro would do that same thing with an upcoming Legends release of Reed.

Their recent Dr Fate was my first Mezco 1:12 Collective, and it's pretty great, so if it's that good (and the 4 look waaaaay better) I'll be satisfied.

Ugh... Yes, I would have spent $60 to preorder that set on Amazon to get that amazing version of Captain Rex.  Get Rex and sell the others to offset the cost.   Cannot wait for it to come back in stock.

It's getting harder and harder to find anything nowadays. These are my only significant toy purchases in months, if not a year. Both of these were local purchases, and I hope to be getting more Joes soon. About half of the Star Wars figures are complete. I made sure to take the figure trays out of the figure case (it needs to be cleaned, anyway), and found more weapons under the trays, which was a nice surprise. The Joes are nice, but some of the paint has rubbed off the Cobra logos. But, 4 complete figures, 2 drivers, and the Twins, so I'm happy.

#1 thing I hear from all of us long time buyers/collectors = There is nothing to buy in the wild anymore (super rare).

No worries on the HISS driver.  He is almost always missing that logo.  Must have been a terrible application.  The one I sold in the collection I picked up was nearly identical.  

I actually like seeing the extra accessories.  Tells me what the original had (or still does and didn't sell).  Looks like a couple Battle Pack items, later Snake Eyes sword, maybe a Crimson Guard gun, etc.

The only one I don't know is the gun with a base/pole. Some vehicle,  I think. I bought the Joes from a local collector,  so there is more coming later to compete my vehicles and figures.

Light gray in the middle? 

Pretty sure it's a vehicle.  Once confirmed, I can figure it out.

You mean nothing cheap/below market value.

Hey guys. Not my usual area in here, but picked up a GI Joe collection from the mid-80s. Bunch of vehicles. Did my due diligence, figured what goes with what(to the best of my abilities) and found out what was missing/broken/repaired. Looking to sell everything. I know this isn't the buy/sell area, so won't make a sell post here, just wanted to let you guys know, that I'll probably do one in the misc sales area. Here's a list of what I have. Unless noted, in excellent shape and complete. I also cleaned everything. Most have all original decals. Only thing not on here is a Crossfire. Complete except the flag on the antenna. Works perfectly.

Finally able to cross this off my "MOC toys from my childhood" list.

I snagged one of ebay a few years ago but returned it cause the bubble was tore from the back board inside the box. Then I didn't see another one for years on ebay. But this one popped up last week and looked promising.

Arrived today and in-hand its spectacular. The tape seals are cut, but the cardboard is so firm it feels like it's never been opened. Still sealed bubble to board and no creases on the box top.

Not too much yellowing on the bubble (these seemed to yellow easily!)

clean back

 

And nice straight top edge.

I'm so excited!

I am soooooo tempted on the Spider-man.  Anyone remove these from the packages?

Maybe Mint on Card.  Meaning in its package.

MOC - Referred to as Mint on Card

MISB - Mint in Sealed Box or Mint in Sealed Bag - depending on the item. 

MIB - Mint in Box (Box may be opened / seals broken)

ABS - Hard plastic that was used on vintage Joes 

I am trying to think of other common ones.

Yep. This Mantech is MIB (mint in box) cause it has its box and all its parts, though not MISB since the tape one either side is cut, but the toy is still sealed on its interior blister card inside the box so maybe it's MIB and MOC (mint on card) though that more commonly used to refer to action figures that are still in their original card/bubble package like for Star Wars and GI Joe figures. 

 

For my collection I only collect MIB or MOC pieces. No loose toys.
