I'll tell you who would think this is bad for collectors. People wanting the high prices for their vintage figures of the same figures. Why would I spend a few hundred dollars a figure for something when I can get the real thing. I didn't buy my Green Arrow from a speculator grabbing up tens and 20,'s of the figure. I got him at a toy collectible shop for 15.95 and Shazam and Flash and others. Bought more there yesterday. I was planning on buying more 50th. I did pick up another Aquaman and Green Lantern and Superman. I'll need doubles for diorama purposes.

These have become pretty easy to find and the newer versions even easier. Now that Mego has the Marvel license again it really puts a dent in the resale of the vintage figures.

@@Collectorsconfessions They were - I think they might have been licenced to someone else like Palitoy, though I could be wrong.

I myself started in 1965 and I had Superman, Batman (with removable cowl), Robin (with painted on mask) and Aquaman. The only one I have left is Superman and he's not in the best condition. I bought a new one about 2 years ago but I didn't know they had brought out these anniversary ones! I've been trying to collect them off of Amazon. I tried to get Batman with the removable cowl but they kept sending me the Batman 66 variant. I know it's hard to get so I kept it but I would still like the light blue cowl Batman because that's the one I had. I keep seeing all these videos that say they were available at Big Lots a year ago but I think it's too late because I haven't found squat out there. I've also noticed that the joints are frozen. Did yours come like that? I used a hair dryer to heat them and it worked. Were you able to get the Superman variant as well?
@Collectorsconfessions
@Collectorsconfessions 6 месяцев назад
I have been searching Big Lots high and low and not only haven’t I found one the stores keep saying they never got any. I’m hoping they decide to release them through other retail stores at some point. I haven’t opened any of the ones I bought yet. Might do a comparison video of the Mego 50th and the Figure toy company ones. Thanks for the comment we really enjoy hearing from fellow collectors. Have a Happy 2024!!!
