I buy lots of action figures sometimes. I mean “lots” in both senses of the word — lots as in many and lots as in a grouping sold together. The cool part is you end up with figures you may not otherwise end up with (Like the three modern Indiana Jones figures I own and adore); but the downside is you end up with a gazillion action figures that are duplicates or which don’t float your boat. Of course because they come in loose lots, they also come mismatched to any weapon.
That means a process of identifying the figures, identifying what weapons and accessories go with them, sifting through the hundreds of loose weapons you’ve collected to see if you have the right one to match to the figure and if you do, marrying the two. If you don’t well.. (sigh).
I am part of several Facebook groups dedicated to collecting, selling and trading figures and what not. And when it comes to Star Wars identification, nothing beats the Jedi Business webpage ( http://jedibusiness.com/ ) and it’s awesome sauce figure ID tool. There are others out there and I will share them as I use them and have a minute to post link.
Now, back to match-making figures and accessories. Happy Tuesday!
