So, What's on the way chaps? What have you bought or won from ebay or retailers? (2024).

I won 3 MAM lots , to help complete my Astronaut team , hope to post pics soon , but it`s still a work in progress as to how if I will custom them . Just won a Cherilea U.N Jeep , looks like it needs a couple of bits to complete it , but I am struggling to find photos of it complete , I know I haven't seen many at all so could be quite a rarity . Finally got a U.H helmet , a modern 1/6th version for under a tenner , got some vintage bits on the way , to help complete or will need completing . Trying so hard to slow down , but I got good deals which I am glad I had a punt on . ...I may have a Kidney available soon .

Sounds like some fun projects Chip!

Just won a lot of 4 flocked MAM. Not sure how much good the bodies are until I can inspect them, but the heads will come in handy.

That’s flocked MAM bodies-tastic Chris .

Starting off the month of August right... by frivolously spending money!  

On the way via eBay:

Great pick ups Dave. The male head looks fantastic!

I’m looking forward what new or old characters you’re going to be doing with them two heads Dave but aren’t you getting ahead of yourself at least twice . I have the 1/6-scale silver colored table myself as you know. I wonder why you have bought a second one though.

Yesterday afternoon I won a 1997 Professor Gangrene complete with its box but he’s lose.

Update: 1997 Professor Gangrene complete with its box but he’s lose has arrived. Yesterday I bought a green robot. Buy it now for £21.49 or best offer and I offered £18 and the seller expected the offer price yay.

Well apparently I won this fella. I say apparently as I didn't realise that I had bid  but I guess I must have hit the bid button without realising
Anyway I'm sure with a new body and some decent clothes he will be a fine addition to RTHQ

Congratulations on winning the figure even though you won the bid without even realising it lol lol.

Fresh off the press, iv literally just bought another green robot.

Well done Chris, on winning the fig, will I'm sure will become another great character to RT-HQ!

  The young padawan has taken the mantle! I've taught him too well, clearly! .

Meanwhile in other news, I influenced myself into buying these rather cool set of wheels!

Oooh! A Meyers Manx style dune buggy! What scale is that? Is it for your 1/12 figs?

It's a Barbie one Dave from the 70's, so with any luck in better scale than today's doll vehicles .

Super cool vintage Barbie like Dave, I think these two here are the modern version.
 Says Meyers Manx style dune buggy Dal 

Very col Allen, interesting to see the double front seat in the newer versions. What make are yours Allen?

Allen I really don’t think you’re Gangrene suits driving around in a purple car. You should have this kind of Dr. X driving around in the purple car.

I’m really loving the copper coloured car though for sure.

Wow great pick up's everyone!  


Won this Vintage Gijoe Action Pilot box!  
Been looking for one for years for a fair price ....
Its alittle beat up with a spot where MOM removed the price tag...lol...But for the price I got it for I'm very happy...

Fantastic pick up Jim   my friend    ,
It's always Good/Great/ Fantastico when you finally get your hands on something you've been looking to get a hold of for years   .

I'll speak to you soon Jim   my friend 
Very kind regards ,
Allan 

Hi there Dal my friend   ,
I think it's Barbie jamming in Jamaica
I just searched eBay for Barbie beach buggy and came across  them .  BP EE figure fits ok some mam figures might not work so well. And Professor Gangrene figure is very challenging when very to get him in position. I wish they had given the professor more movement with his forearms .
Early action man / G.I. Joe figures would sit well in the buggy's   
I'll speak to you soon Dal   my friend 
Very kind regards ,
Allan 
 
Hi there Alex my friend   ,
Here's my reasoning for putting the professor in a purple car - he's a professor and a mad one at that    And purple is the colour of madness   I also thought it was a good contrast with what the professor was wearing - the green jumpsuit and the purple buggy. I thought he stood out quite well   
I Can see how you could see the purple robotic armed Dr X in the car though 

Thanks again my friends 
I'll speak to you soon ,
Very kind regards ,
Allan

I get your reasons for putting the professor in a purple car Allen. Yup, I agree with you on that he's a professor and a mad one at that and purple is the colour of madness which is true. Good contrasting colours with the professor’s dark green jumpsuit and the purple buggy.
