That is Tbleague's asian Vampirella seamless posable figure. Probably the best company out there that makes realistic action figures. My wife is freaked out by them since they feel and look so lifelike. Artifiction, JRBaxter, grendelbo and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 (edited) In penance for my shame in not posting any Vampi's since August I just rewound the thread and hit the button on all of your excellent pickups. I've spent a lot of dough since then on portions of a high grade vintage paperback collection the likes of which I might not see again so had to put the mags on the back burner but just got in a nice group of 30 or so Vampi's that were quite undergraded and filled in a bunch of holes in the #60-80's slots. I'm only missing 15 of the first 80 now and a couple of dozen for the run.

You've put together a very nice collection of those books in a relatively short period of time. flashlites and Surfing Alien 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Elf Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) I was admiring my Pristine Nineteen today (sung to the tune of "Christine Sixteen" by KISS), and I was curious to see which version of VAMPIRELLA #4 was pictured on the cover--the orange or the purple lettering--so I zoomed in to see--and it's neither! The text and price are completely removed, and the Vampi Box is obscured by her torso.

Popular Post Axe Elf Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 I was curious which Vampirella issue has the fewest graded copies in the CGC Census, so I went through all the listings, and with only 8 copies in the census (and only 5 that are 9.0 or above), VAMPIRELLA #51 has the fewest graded copies in the CGC Census. Honorable mentions go to #52 and #109 with only 12 graded copies of each in the CGC Census. OtherEric, chevalmeow, Darkga and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that unless I somehow find a really nice raw candidate, that's going to be a hole in my collection for a very long time. But hey, at least I have a 9.4 graded 52.

I think mine would grade higher than that, but I'd have to overcome a lot of trust issues to allow CGC and the postal system (twice) to take custody of them for an indefinite period of months.

Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 Picked up these two, they have better spines than my current copies. Although I have a bunch of holes still to fill, I'm also happy upgrading the classic early issues when I can find decent deals.
