GOOD NEWS!!!! GOOD NEWS!!!! (to be read in the voice of Roscoe P. Coltrane)
The "never going to feel fresh air brigade":
Bo (including variants [of course!])
Luke:
Blood for the Boss!
Hazzard's Finest:
The Dukes:-
There are a few variants I'm still after (a different Daisy with longer hair, a variant Luke and Bo (slightly different hair), a variant Uncle Jesse with different coloured beard) and ultimately a better conditioned Cooter and Cletus, I doubt I'll ever get them, and as such the collection, as of today, is complete, in that I have at least one of each figure!!! WOOOO HOOOO!
Although Daisy really doesn't do Catherine Bach any justice at all!:-
Sorry for boring you with non AF stuff - just wanted to share my joy somewhere!!!!

Wow, I remember both of those sets. Luved em. The DVD store next door have had a sale on too, lotsa Buck Rogers. Gotta get them and have a watch I think.
Thanks for posting the pics Steve, its amazing what you forget. And they say Alcohol is a preservative...pfft.
I also remember the BSG and Star Trek (motionless picture) figures. But Star Wars was always the big seller, and my fave.
Oh er... Erin Grey in a tight suit....damn the 70's were good.

I'm trying desperately not to get started on the Battle Star Galactica figures! Although surely just one Cylon wouldn't hurt?

I think so. With lights and sounds iirc. I had a mini diecast starfighter, spent hours with that little thing. There were for the Dukes as well. A figure sized General Lee. That's what yer troops need Baron, a General Lee;-)

Yeah - I'm drawing the line at the vehicles. The Starfighter looks fantastic though!
The Dukes vehicles tend to go for quite a bit boxed, and I've ran out of space for boxed stuff, so I'm leaving them be for the time being unless I can pick up a bargain one. I think they did Boss's Cadillac, Rosco's Police car (same as the ChIPS car), General Lee and Daisy's Jeep. I think they may have also done a pick up truck for Cooter, but I've never seen it.
Luckily the figures are a perfect size for my 1/18th toy cars, so the few loose Dukes that I do have aren't car-less!

The Buck Rogers stuff looks so much more modern when compared with the DoH stuff... I take it they were produced at about the same time?
Daisy's hotpants look rather uncomfortable to me
