Mas hallazgos
Honestamente me he especializado mas en encontrar figuras de segunda mano en los bazares y tianguis cercanos (a saber los lunes en la colonia contigua, los miercoles en mi colonia y los sabados en el tianguis del rastro, este último el mejor lugar), que en comprar figuras nuevas.
Estaran de acuerdo que en casos como el Dr. Mindbender no es muy atractivo comprarlo nuevo.
Tengo años que no voy al tianguis de las vias, ahi se encuentran muy buenas figuras de segunda mano, incluso de series que no se comercializaron en esta ciudad como Stra Trek.
Eso ha dificultado el identificar algunas figuras, y de algunas otras ya he comentado que tengo duda que sean de la colecion original. Una figura que no mensioné en el post anterior es el US Marine anfibio, al menos el molde es de Chap Mei, como lo demustra esta foto tomada del panel de la propia empresa.
Un verdadero hallazgo es el poder probar que mi peloton original (ver post del 30 de marzo)pertenece a la misma compañia (si no es Joe al menos que sea de una marca registrada y no pirata) y su nombre comercial fué "Elite Operations "
More findings
Been honest, i specialized myself to find second hand figures in near fleas markets (mondays in next neighborhood,wednesday in my neighborhood and saturday in city slaughter house street market, this is the best place) instead to buy new figures.
You´ll be agree in some cases like Dr. Minbender, its no too atractive to buy a new one.
Several years ago i went last time to "the rails" flea market, there you can find really good second hand figures, even of series that never was sold in this city, like Star Trek.
This make very difficult to identify some figures, and some others i already comment that i doubt they belong to an original trade mark collection. One of those, that i didn´t mension in the last post is de amphibius US Marine, at least its mold is from Chap Mei, as is proobed this pic from company panel.
A truly great finding is at least can proof that my first platoon (take a look march 30 post) belongs same company y was named "Elite Operations " ¶ 5:37 PM
