Help with my tough decision

Post by humby248 »

I have had quite a few things go wrong lately and coupled with the fact that my house is a money pit I have taken the very hard decision to scale back my collection to wave 2. I am going to be selling off my wave 3 onwards stuff on ebay and need a bit of help with exact descriptions and the accessories for these guys please.
Any pics would be useful. I am also wondering what would bring in the most revenue single figure sales or a job lot. I think the lot but would like to see everyones opinion.

The black outfittted guy is a crimson shadow guard - they came with one of five weapons - a wolverine style claw, crossbow, straight sword (samurai like) curvy sword (like an Arabian sword) or nunchucks. I think there may even have been a sixth - a longbow. I've been selling some of them on eBay lately and not making a lot - about £3 each.

Far right hand guy is cobra night watch. Came in a batch with similar camo'd cobras. If you do a keyword search for "steved misc" should bring up my old trades thread that has a photo on of the full set.

Not sure about the first two though, other than they're obviously cobras!

as far as selling it off goes, i think selling in smaller lots is better. you may well get more money, but you can also spread the joy a bit by letting more people add to their collections.

Cheers mate, its sounds like they are not worth alot then. I got these off a guy in Malaysia through ebay. The 2 Cobras have Hasbro 1991 on them.

I was thinknig that maybe they were bootleg. All four figures were from the same guy and the Crimson guy had a back pack and a weapon. The night attack had a weapon and the 2 Cobra's had AKs but the stock on the back was thicker than say the one on the Snow Serpeants one. I did'nt mind at the time as I only paid about £2 each for them.

I had loads of sets of night patrols, with the plan being to list all of them but one set I was going to keep for myself. But I got a bit "eBay happy" and accidentally sold all of them!! Doh!!!!
Let me know when you list them mate as I'd like the night patrol and possibly one of the "bootlegs".

I'd say they are hybrids, Humby. Based around these chaps;
