MrBedrock Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'll take you, Rick. Imagine our collection if we were a couple! (Only my second use of a graemlin!) Well, I gave it my best shot...but I couldn't get past the imagining you and Rick as a couple...your "love-child pedigree collection" never even made it onstage... at least our towels could be monogramed the same His and His!

Crowzilla Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I have no idea what that toy is, but seems likely its one of a kind, impossible to find, in perfect condition, and will blow the socks off some toy collectors on the boards. You don't know Atomic Robot Man? Shame on you - one of the earliest, and rarest tin robot toys. Atomic Robot Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowzilla Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Dare I ask what a nice one goes for? why it goes for this of course: But.. I think BZ's might be a repro because of the larger nose slits and the fact that it doesn't have a washer around the stud on the right side. (I can't see the if the bottom of the feet are painted or not or if there is a number stamped under him to confirm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I dunno.. wouldn't be in keeping with the rest of his collection . Besides, doesn't this portion of the article you linked suggest the washer is irrelevant, or am I misinterpreting something? "There were also two standard rivet methods used to hold the on/off switch in place. One is as featured in the Attic's toy, the other uses a single-piece rivet with no washer " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 This is only going to appeal to the Burroughs fans. OMG! I haven't checked this thread in a few days and look what I missed! I had a feeling this was coming! Incredible, BZ! I've still got nine more pages to go through -- I'm not sure my heart can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GACollectibles Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Here's a shot of the All-Story. Cool! Can you read them aloud to us? (new avatar in your honor!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 BTW, I didn't see a Tarzan and the Golden Lion in there. That is the one I'm missing. Is it hidden in a pile? If you could put it front and center I will trade you a post of my favorite Tarzan piece. I think you will like it. (And it ain't a funnybook!) Richard, I have a copy of the book, but it's without the dust jacket. The best I can do is offer up a picture of the BLB or the serialized version which ran in Argosy All-Story 12/9/22 to 1/20/23. BZ, please ignore the goofy looking guy at left but keep in mind I, er, he is 6 ft. 5 in. This is a HUGE Jeff Jones Tarzan painting done as a commission after he did a calendar of Tarzan images in the late '90s. I got it indirectly through Heritage a few years back. Before getting it I thought comics were the be all and end all. But now I get to wake up every day and stare at this! So there you go....some All-Story please! Wow, Richard that is way cool!

Theagenes Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 phantasmo is comics first character to come out of the closet. He's definitely not hiding any secrets. Speaking of The Funnies, BZ, since you're obviously a big ERB fan I'm sure you must have copies of the John Carter covers right? I'd love to see a HG #36; for me that was the toughest to track down. Or maybe his first appearance in #30? How about a Hi-Spot #2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
