Joes Figures

[JOEMOE]

Ill just start a thread for my stuff as it comes in from AFA for anyone that wants to take a look. All comments appreciated. See my earlier posts for don/mikey fan club, and shredder pop up.

Splinter pop up came in the mail today. The 80 card is from the slightest surface wrinkles on the upper right side of the card. Playmates cards damage very easily.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Very nice collection

[Samhain]

Nice figures.

[mysterycolor]

Cool stuff!

[scar1321]

Those look great in the cases, but isn't it pretty expensive to get all of them done?

[scar1321]

Yeah, there's a few pieces in my collection that I wouldn't mind getting graded, but I'm worried they'd either grade low, or get damaged or lost in shipment.

Yep, I've been here in Tucson for almost 7 years now... I work out of Davis Monthan. Active Duty Air Force.

It's ok down here, but the Phoenix area is a lot more fun... :)

[TheCanadiandrome]

Nice addition

[TheCanadiandrome]

recently i started collecting newer figures in addition to 19988-1989

Woah that's along time :D :lol:

[The Fifth Turtle]

19888 turtles are special proto types from football orange guy..

Knowing what that guy charges....youd have to take out a loan.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Very cool dude!

[Zulithe]

Thanks for your photos Joe.

Seeing them on card reminds me so much of being a kid. Before I had even seen the cartoon, I saw these figures on the shelf at Wal-Mart around the time they first launched. I didn't know what they were, or what the cartoon was, or the comics, all I knew was that apart from the figure itself looking unlike anything else in stores at the time, the ART on the packaging really captured my imagination. I think the art sold me on them as much as anything.

I was 7 or 8 at that time. A few years later I would start getting big into comics. So it's no wonder.

You say you "recently" started collecting. You must have a lot of $$$ laying around to invest in these mint-on-card figs!

Thanks again!

[joetheripper]

sick joe! allways a pleasure to look at your figures! cant wait to see you ones you sent in!

[markberry]

[Scotty TuffGuy1979]

Always liked the 93,94,95 movie star figures, I really like 93 card

[Scotty TuffGuy1979]

Yes I do, the 1992, 93 card are my favorites. I have all figures on US card

[Shogun26]

Cowabunga dude!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Nice additions

[markberry]

nice movie star don
i got all the original ones MOC, not any of the reissued ones

[markberry]

I use to have that blue weapon Raph - the card was separating from the bubble a little at the bottom so i sold it.

yea a Mikey reissue just sold for over $150 last i seen, didnt see the final bid on it.

[joetheripper]

sick pop up/soft head rocksteady.

the foot soldier and casey look sick with coin&card as well!

keep em coming!

[joetheripper]

you and your undercover leo... ill take him off your hands since he's yellowing so much :lol:

cool you finally got him back :). undercover series... complete

[Scotty TuffGuy1979]

Where did you pick up your 4 turtle card shredder that's hard one to find, I need to grade one of mine I haven't yet,

[raphfan84]

Nice looking stuff my friend, my 88 FCF soft head collection is one of my most treasured figures in my collection.:tgrin:

[raphfan84]

Lol yesssiiirr!

[TheCanadiandrome]

grats on those MOC Movie Stars! I too was lucky to obtain them, albeit not MOC, but still, always nice to have

[TheCanadiandrome]

Thanks a bunch! I have the other two also but i just didnt photograph them. I was most proud of Don/Mike.

Carded or not, Movie Stars are really neat and anyone who has them is a lucky duck.
yes for sure. when i'm able to, i plan to display my Super Shredder w/Movie Star Foot Soldiers vs. Movie Splinter and my 4 Movie Star Turtles together

[TheCanadiandrome]

Alright, im holding you to that!
lol! thanks for the vote of confidence. i've got plans when i eventually get a place of my own on how i want to display

[joetheripper]

so awsome!

now sell me your genghis w/bag grenades to cure my heartache from my krang getting lost...

[Shogun26]

We were thinking, why does the card look so crappy and then by happen stance a fellow dromer bought it and then we were like i cant belive i didn't notice the bagged grenades! :D:lol:

Very nice score my friend!!

[joetheripper]

Do you mean THIS genghis the frog with bagged grenades?

Just arrived today. Took 10 days to get here cause of the storms, but i am just happy to have it. It looks a lot better than the pictures that the seller had on eBay. There were 2 watchers on it too, not sure what they were thinking.

Thanks for looking.

yup thats the one :)

[Kujakoo]

Here is a box of toys from my child hood. There are some soft heads, and some even have all of their limbs.

There's a toxic avenger, and he man but I always gravitated toward tmnt.

Still a wonderful find for your awesome collection. I have dreams where I finally come across a box and find all my old figures from my childhood. :tlol: Very Happy for ya man, just awesome!

[Shogun26]

I haven't received it yet, but this figure did grade an 80 because of that card which got subgrade 80, so neener neener neener.

haha

:P

[Slash32]

Nice additions and damn now you have to undercover Leo's must be nice

[Slash32]

Thanks a lot.

You know there is an under cover leo on eBay right now, could be yours.

Yeah I know I'm the bidder on it right now I made an offer but the seller said he rather let it bid out so hopefully I can get lucky and win I did get a loose one this week it should be here tomorrow so I'm glad I at least have a loose one cause this is by far my favorite figure

[joetheripper]

Jelious!

Howd the triceraton grade?

[TheCanadiandrome]

Grats on a not too bad grade

[TheCanadiandrome]

I think I've seen those ones. I've been following every update u make in this thread

[joetheripper]

Shogun Triceraton graded the worst ironically. I got this figure from MyTeeFineStuff to try to ensure it would grade 85, but no dice. It graded 80 overall with sub grades C80 B80 F85. I buy figures from there to avoid buying twice and thrice.


lol w.e, 80 is bomb.

[Orisue]

Lol poor mutagen man is armless. Awesome figs btw! I've always been rough with my stuff not to mention all the garage sales my parents have had. All I have is pictures of me getting toys as gifts left for me to reminisce :'(

[kaushalsingh]

Cool collection:) Where did you get all these? Hoping if i could order them online:roll:

[Shogun26]

This is a place holder for the figure you acquired today :)

[markberry]

wow that raph is awesome
congrats man

[The Fifth Turtle]

Today was a marvelous day to say the least. Two bomb figures were waiting for me when i got home. I can't wait to get them graded.

Two genghis frogs were listed on eBay recently like this and they were actually the same figure, so i tracked down the seller of the auction that did not sell and we made a deal.

Thanks for looking.

Fan club Splinter!!!! Superb : I know its just a small piece of paper under the bubble but it just looks sooooo wicked cool.

Killer Dude! Super Jealous!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Grats Joe! Awesome

[joetheripper]

ahhh sweet don w/yellow weapons. i almost got one off ebay not to long ago but i had to put my funds elsewhere. :(

[Bocce]

Do you have to pay extra for the case or are they included in the the AFA grade price?

[Bocce]

The case is included with the $35 non-member grading fee for figures valued at less than $200.

You will have to pay for shipping and handling both ways in addition to the grading fee.

Sorry for the FAQ's but how do I know if my figure is valued more or less $200. does AFA have a price guide?

[JOEMOE]

They value the figure for what ever you want it insured for return shipping. They do not have a guide, but know what unreasonable is.


This Hydro Skimmer just got to my house today. I am really excited to have a blitz cycle, and a hydro skimmer MISB. These are pretty tough to find, so im happy to add it to my collection.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the info Joemoe
