Secret Wars by Mattel 1984

[Hammer 0f The Gods]

Saw one at a local flea market, sealed in box for $40. Its been there for a while and although I don't really collect super hero figures, I was thinking about picking it up for the hell of it. This sound like a good deal?

Sounds like it is about the going rate for a MISB item especially if you are into Secret Wars stuff. I saw one go for a little less on Ebay but you have to consider shipping cost as well. I say buy it, I own one and it is pretty cool. Offer him $30, then $35 if he doesn't accept it.

I remeber getting it for Christmas the year it was released. I loved the Secret Wars comics at the time and the Tower got allot of use from my brother and I.

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

all of my toys played in the tower of doom. for years. it was totally one of the best bases made.

[Centurn]

Really like the figs, simple but hey...
Does anyone have a complete collection and/or a nice display of these figures? In that case, share it!

[clambo]

My dog has executed many action figures. Luckily, nothing too expensive, yet.

[Meatybat]

I think this should get it own topic. What toy or toys have been decimated by your pet or pets. I know Messiah has felt some pain from this. My dog hasn't exceeded his value yet so he's in the clear.

[clambo]

I love these toys and dogs.

What six figs do you wish would have been made for this line, 3 good & 3 bad?

Mine: Good - 1) Hulk 2) Thor 3) Dr. Strange
Bad - 1) Vulture 2) King Pin 3) Loki

[treckmeyer]

That lot of bad guys, maybe they were called the wrecking crew? They would have been cool to have as toys. Maybe a galactus, as well. As far as good guys, I would have liked to have seen Colossus, Hulk, and maybe Nightcrawler.

[clambo]

Yeah, the Wrecking Crew would have been good.

[Meatybat]

I would have liked a Hulk or some other figure utilizing a larger scaled body. Being they loved the smoothy body a nice Silver Surfer would have been easy . Would they have been able to make other figures as cheaply these were done. How far can you push his body ? I have these toys, no one has my dingo. He gets props when I feel to do so. Do you not own these toys or a dog stop the animal hatered !

[daltron]

Mine: Good - 1) Lion-O 2) Snake-Eyes 3) He-Man
Bad - 1) Skeletor 2) Mumm-Ra 3) Unicron

Hey, they all had Marvel comics at some point!

[clambo]

Sgt. Fury, the Punisher, Powerman and Ironfist

[Centurn]

Good fellas: Hulk, Spider-Woman, Nightcrawler.
Bad seed: The Lizard, Ultron, Titania.
Maybe Galactus as a big playset-type-thing...

[clambo]

Spider Woman is a good call, any female characters would be good.

[toyboxraider]

Good - Storm, Black Panther, Ka-Zar with Zabu deluxe set

Bad - Klaw, Madame Hydra with Hydra troop builder, Mephisto

[Centurn]

Anyone tried a shield for Cap America from a different line? I know we all miss one for this release.

[spankweasel]

Does anybody know why the Mattel's secret wars iron man figure states?
secret identity : James Rhodes, pilot

[da18thcustomizer]

Id assume that during that time thats when James "Rhodey" Rhodes took over the Iron Man role for Stark.

This would be Pre War Machine if im correct .

[spankweasel]

I'm not sure, I never really got into Iron Man as a comic book. And I don't remember the secret wars comics all to well. I sold many comics a long time a go. You're probably right though, da18thcustomizer.

I was just curious about it.

[spankweasel]

I just looked into it on wikipedia, and it seems James Rhodes is war machine, but took over for stark when we was a drunk. maybe they should have named this figure iron man II?
