1993 Interrogator (Mail Away) - Around The Web
The mail away set with Interrogator and Major Altitude were quite common in the 1990's. There was tons of overstock in the community and they would sit, unsold, for under $15. Now, they are $300 for a set. And, you'll pay between $150 and $200 just for this neon yellow Interrogator. And, this is really too bad. This figure is a nice mesh of bright yellow and darker purple. There's not a ton of content on the figure out there. The high price kind of precludes lots of new acquisitions. And, once you get him, most people are loathe to take a $200 figure out into the snow and mud. But, there's still some good stuff out there. Whether you're frozen in all weekend like I am or not, take some time to peruse all the links below.

Really great photos of this figure. He really "pops". I like how close his color scheme is to the Eels too. They match up nicely together. 91 Interrogator was one of my favorite Cobra's as a kid and remains so to this day. The mold is great, the details all still stick out enough in the brighter neon colors. This is one of those sets that are unfortunately cost prohibitive for me to acquire. It's insane that they went at $15 dollars at one time and are now hovering around $300.
ReplyDeleteSame deal with the 1993 Deep-Six.
DeleteJust checked 93 Deep Six and he is up there in the $180 range for a sealed one. Last year I was watching the 93 Mail Away General Hawk in sealed bag and it was going for $30 or so (the seller had multiples available). I just checked now ebay now and that figure has also risen up a little - hovering around $50 or so dollars.
DeleteAn amusing "bad" figure that's now overpriced just because alleged scarcity.
ReplyDeleteMore of why I think comic nerds ruined toy collecting. They got obsessed with rarity, variants, exclusives, "final waves" (I really hate that last 17 whatever Star Wars crap), this attracted the resellers more and the antique hustlers. It ballooned with Ebay, etc. Now anyone anywhere who found that "scarce/rare/shortpacked" item can get it and sell it.
Toy collecting got mainstream, and like most things that get mainstream, got much more worse and frustrating for it. Just look at the tactics major toy companies use now...fansplotation run amok.
I agree, completely. The number of trash pickers who join the big Joe groups to ask "what is this worth?!?" is just horrible. Why'd you buy something if you know nothing about it?
DeleteI'll argue that there are no, real, rare production level Joes. Even Gold Heads and MMCC's were incredibly easy to find, if expensive, back in the early days. The big issue that is very unique to Joe is that pretty much every long term collector is some sort of hoarder. Army building aside, how many posts do you see of guys with 11 1982 Zaps or some other such figure. Once upon a time, a collection of 1,000 figures was almost unheard of. Now, you don't knock down the Joeluminati doors with less than 10,000 figures...most of which are duplicates that are owned for no other reason than hoarding.
