Bought those at a thrift store in Vienna for 70 €. Are any of them worth anything? Is it normal that some weapons are fixed with adhesive tape inside the blister?

You paid that much for shit, anon. I hope you're just new to toy collecting, because yes, they regularly tape accessories into place.

Yeah, you done got shafted, anon. most of those figures go for less than $5us on ebay & such.

Still, I would have picked up Kyle Katarn. He's slightly rare and a cool figure. Give him Luke's lightsaber and you're all set for adventures with the swaggiest jedi of all time

There's a toy store on the other side of the Danube that used to sell a lot of early 90s toy leftovers, Anon. Search the archives for it - that stuff was in actual demand.

Nah, I didn't buy them to sell them. I liked them and bought them because you really don't have those kinda stores where I live. I'm not really a collector, maybe a little lego. Would have been nice to accidently strike gold though.

Yeah, the issue here's more that you paid probably twice what they're worth at least. The batman at the upper right looks like he's got a neat accessory though, is it an exploding mine?

Just checked German ebay, I guess there either is no real market for figures or that they're so uninteresting that no one's selling them. I figured 10 € for new figures lets me at least break even, apparently not.

That batman figure has a shield.

Ah, weird gimmick, it's a shield with a shield. Still, have fun with your new toys.

If you ever have to ask "Are any of them worth anything?" The answer is a big fat fucking NO.

Especially Star Wars. If it isn't one of the original figures, it isn't worth jack shit.

I got a shit ton (more than 10) of Power of the Force figures in their packages for not even $2 USD all together a year ago. You got shafted hard, son. They're part of my childhood though so I like to have them. Nice Kyle Katarn though even if you overpaid. I didn't realize they did one for him.

That's subjective. Believe it or not, somebody out there has these toys in a collection and places some value on them. Your disinterest or my disinterest does not rob them of that value.

But I agree OP got ripped off. They're OK toys but they can be had much cheaper and there's better stuff out there for the price paid.

The thing about those is that they were the first new Star Wars toys in like a decade, so the hype was real over that, but then they had 90's 5 POA and just a few years later that shit was archaic and unacceptable, at least for collectors.

I like the sculpts on a lot of them though, especially the faces

Yeah, what saves the POTF2 is that most of the sculpts are actually pretty good. Modern sculpts at that scale are the total opposite, almost all hideous, often busy for the sake of being busy.

It would cost about 85USD to buy figs like those in today's market. I mean, the SW figs are about $9.99 and have the same articulation. And those Batman figs would probably be between $12-$15 each.

The likenesses were really good, especially Harrison Ford. The He-Man bodies and terrible articulation are really the only thing IMO that detracts from them as just a neat thing to have around.

hey, I got that han solo in carbonite figure at a comic shop a few years ago for 2 bucks. Good times. I bought it entirely for the carbonite casing though.
