No girlie drama here, it a respect issue which this hobby is seriously lacking the last few years. Everyone seems to be cut thoart and disrespectful anymore.

See, good example of collectors being a bunch of cut throats. Because someone didn't win the auction they turned the seller in. I'm glad a good person won that lot. Congrats man.

Suffice it to say each fig cost 80 bucks? I would pay that no problem. Wish there was another lot going.

congratulations Ebessan on winning these beauties I always wondered why they released these with arm attachments? none of the figures have detachable limbs and thus can not use them? Besides that these are cool, I also was bidding on that lot but cannot compete with US buyers or buyers that don't have to pay custom/ clearance fees. I have to pay around 25% of selling plus shipping price extra in fees. I think i stopped bidding around $450 or so. Tried to get on the bandwagon with another bidder but that bandwagon was allready full If i ever see loose complete ones or carded ones come up again I'm going bonanza I would be willing to pay a lot more than $80 for loose complete ones, not to mention carded examples incomplete ones don't interest me that much since the chance of ever completing them is slim and thats why i rather pay more for loose complete(ish) ones that being said i did see a gun for this line in an ebay lot not that long ago. but the price for the lot was to high to buy it just for the gun.

I always wondered why they released these with arm attachments? none of the figures have detachable limbs and thus can not use them? That is funny about the arm attachments, also considering they appear to be so well made in every other respect - especially for a simple MOTU KO. Basically 'wow' and 'drool'. It's amazing how creepy Sunhawk can be made to look with just a lick of new paint here and there. I notice they just slapped the paint right over his goatee sculpt too. I've lucked out with some other great MOTU KOs, but with this line, this forum threads about as close as I ever expect to get... "Hail Ebessan..."

Wait, how can someone report and delete an auction AFTER its already ended? On what grounds can you even report that?
How have people been finding these on ebay anyway when until now, no one knew what the line was called? Where they just being sold as "power ranger knock off"?
I actually don't think these are as rare as they seem, I just found a Squatt 2 months ago (actually the first KO I've ever bought!) in a $2 bin at a comic show, and 2 more of these popped up on the facebook group in the past week or so (I believe found in a thrift store)!

Peepz just don't know what these are and thats why probably not a lot end up on ebay. I have seen quite a few incomplete ones come by the really hard (next to impossible) thing is finding these complete or just finding gear
Now the cat is out of the bag i think more of them will end up on ebay correctly listed and i don't expect cheap since these are higly collectible and would look good in any motu ko collection

You raise an interesting point. If these are undergoing a 'hype-stage' which will suddenly drop and then plateau on the bay, with a rise in thrift finds, could it be attributed to their era? Because they are a later 90's Ko release? Some of the common 80s MOTU KOs reached a fever-pitch as savvy e-sellers saw the interest growing. As attention shifts to 'new' rare breeds of KO, the manufacturing timeline moves as well. That said - they could maintain rarity being a nineties line rather than figures churned out in vast quantities when He-man was in it's hey-day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's tough to predict what will occur after the obligatory dormancy stage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

All I know is I've been looking for these for a solid 2 years and have yet to see them peek their heads at any flea mkts, yard sales etc.. Hope I find one at the worlds longest yard sale this year in August.

Skullbooska, those cards are great. Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Wait, how can someone report and delete an auction AFTER its already ended? On what grounds can you even report that? It had either "bootleg" or "knockoff" in the title. After I won, maybe 2 minutes later (I paid instantly), any trace of the auction was gone. eBay takes down auctions with such words if someone reports it. The lot got deleted from my history & the seller's. I had to talk to them via email to resolve things & get the toys.

Yea. Its bullshit I've had that happen to me 2X. Its been a few years.. One was a signed TOOL cd set, and I can't remember the other... but it was about authentication of signatures.. however, me and the buyer skirted it, and finished it ourselves.

Hope I find one at the worlds longest yard sale this year in August. Oh great, more competition! Last year there was a guy literally in front of me the ENTIRE day and as soon as I would get to a sale I would see him already there saying "do you have any old 80s toys"! Although the past 2 or 3 years, the entire thing has been pretty crappy with 99% of the sellers wanting ebay prices for everything or just selling straight-up garbage. I'm thinking of trying out a different area this year but most of OH and TN is just dead

Yea I tried out Alabama last year and only found one measly wrestling champion and the guy wanted 2 bucks for him! I'm going to crossville and Jamestown in tn this year. That's where I find all the goodies. You just have to dig.

You can try " space patrol 2 evil of the space" The figures are rare they dont cone up on ebay very often., but alot of people are looking for them .so you may not find them cheap if the person knows what they are. Now as far as a seller just selling misc figures. You can try the words" bootleg or knockoff" or just plain " galaxy warrior". And you may find one by accident. But be advised other colkectors looking for these probably do those type searches in there sleep. Good luck in your search!

Anyone knows the name of the company that produced these? That logo on the card looks kinda familiar but I can't realy put my finger on it.

I think I have figured out which company made these, that logo on those cards I believe is from Solidco, which would also somehow explain the use of GF weapons and X-Changers accesories. Anyone have any thoughts on this theory?
