I love Hit 'n Run.

Was disappointed in the 7 pack version.


You and me both...my attachment to that figure is purely from personal reasons, the figure itself left a lot to be desired.

The vintage Hit 'n Run was one of the best of the entire line.

Great accessories. The gun was great. The satchel with the rope, grappling hook and winch was awesome. It even had a knife.

The figure looked great.

Inadvertently I've been accumulating Beachhead stuff over the past year. Not sure why it's missing from the photo, but I've also got the Combat Heroes Beachhead somewhere as well. Crummy picture, but you get the idea. The art in the middle was made by Hulk Hogan at JoeCustoms, it's a sheet of metal with the original card art stamped on it.

I have a pretty sizeable Tele-Viper collection. I only had one when I was a kid, but I went batshit crazy in the Spy Troops/VvV era, especially with the Family Dollar single packs

"Batshit crazy" means what, five display cases full? :P

I'm a Chuckles fan...


Ok, I think every one's done laughing now :D I am really, he was always a favorite as a kid and as an adult he's still kick ass to me. So far I have almost all I need for figures, though I'm looking for any ARAH carded variations (funskool/foreign would be great if there are any) and also a decent condition ARAH carded figure. I have a custom carded ME version and a few others. I also have some original artwork done, and I'm in the process of having a custom Hawaiian shirt and pistol display done.

Once again, a very specialized collection as there are not many examples of Chuckles love out there. I'll have to snap some pics when everything's out of storage.

I'd love to see some pics of this, especially the original artwork. I'm a big Chuckles fan ever since the Devils Due Frontline arc about him.

You are very kind, Barefoot Jedi. Thank you for the compliments. I actually have that Destro costume. It is a very rare item. I know of only a handful of them. Here is a pic of it:

I agree, that Destro collection is immense! I started wondering why there were so many carded dupes till I noticed tiny variations on most of them!


Shogi,that AWE Strker collection is sweet man. I'd saw it is AWEsome man. Vehicle focused collections are a great way to 'character' collect.

And you're right, all the Destros are different from each other, with variations, international releases, etc.


AAAAAAEEEEEE!!! That's the one!!! :D :D :D

I remember wearing that to a church Halloween party as a child! I didn't know we were supposed to dress as Biblical characters! I didn't think it was funny back then...being the one standing out...but now I desperately regret not having photographs of Destro with several Jesuses, Moses, Noah, et cetera...

:lol:

That is fantastic.

I'm sure there was a Destro in the Bible somewhere... selling swords to the Romans or what have you.
