looking for Satan´s Left Arm, the figure not the devil.
Mine are the 1995 Battle Rangers Flint and the crown jewel of my collection, the 1995 Battle Rangers Dr. Mindbender.
I've got a lot of foreign stuff, unproduced Asian figures and harder to find American toys but those pale in terms of rarity to the unproduced '95's.
I'm awaiting your response over at tni.Originally Posted by Tattoo Shane

if anyone finds a v1 cobra commander that has plain rivets (not blue tinted), and no stamps on its inside torso please let me know, the only other one would be the one held by tazzman, which also has an abnormally large cobra symbol and completely hand painted with painted rivits.
thanks

I do not think that it is off topic to discuss rare figures and/or questions about authenticity in this thread.
Please feel free to post your thoughts on the subject as I have posted mine on TNI.

That Mindbender is FREAKIN AWESOME!
Saboteur, Shane...
I'm the furthest from Expert on matters of Proto's.
You both have good points though.
What I get from Shane's side is "If its not in the Louvre, its probably not the Mona Lisa"
But, Saboteur, You've got some interesting points. Did you ever find out where the seller got it from?
In 1999 there was a gijoe convention in New york city, there was a seller named Steve campbell that was selling a cobra commander that was pictured on the back of the gijoe carrying case. It was about 90$. I asked him if I could compare the cobra logo to an actual carrying case but he didn't have one with him. So I didn't buy it and have no regrets.
I've been able to acquire several items through the years that could be considered rare - here are probably the top 15:
Canadian Joe Con Black Ice (only 30 were made, only two got to America)
Mickey Mouse CC
2002 Convention "fuschia" set
Marujo
Ar Puro
UK Jammer in sealed bubble
Cobra De Aco (the nicest one I've ever seen)
Night Striker with box
Action Force MMS MIB
Action Force Whirlwind MIB
MOC "red and yellow" Beach Head from Funskool
MOC "Steeler head" Zap from Funskool
MOC "white" Iceberg from Funskool
MOC Superhero from Funskool
MOC Chinese Flint (with Falcon head)
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.....
More then two made it to the states.Originally Posted by Volleydan
