Toy fans of all ages, Hake’s is back at it, with a new auction of collectible toys (and comics, and games. and more) for us to drool over. This auction has dozens of Star Wars items, but also items from Marvel, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Battle Beasts, Dick Tracy, Masters of the Universe, TMNT and more! Read on for highlights!
STAR WARS (1978) – JAWA 12 BACK-A AFA 75 EX+/NM (VINYL CAPE).
https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/272589/STAR-WARS-1978-JAWA-12-BACK-A-AFA-75-EXNM-VINYL-CAPE
On anyone else, a vinyl cape would just look silly. But on a 1978 Jawa, it looks like pure gold. This graded example is expected to be one of the auction’s high rollers.
STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI (1984) – IMPERIAL SHUTTLE VEHICLE CAS 75.
While it can be done, grading a massive vehicle or playset is a costly endeavor. This one isn’t, but that just means you can open it up and play with it. You know you want to.
DICK TRACY ACTION FIGURE NEAR SET OF 12 BY PLAYMATES.
https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/271831/DICK-TRACY-ACTION-FIGURE-NEAR-SET-OF-12-BY-PLAYMATES
Someone has 12 of the 14 Dick Tracy action figures, and it looks like you may be able to get them for a steal. You can also get two vehicles – put the movie on your TV and pretend they’re going to the Drive-In.
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE “MASTERS DEL UNIVERSO” SPANISH TOY WATCH STORE DISPLAY.
No MOTU action figures in this auction, but who wouldn’t want this sweet display of watches featuring He-Man and Skeletor’s grinning heads?
G.I. JOE (1989) – NIGHT-VIPER (V1) SERIES 8/34 BACK CARDED ACTION FIGURE.
The Night Viper was arguably one of the coolest G.I. Joe figures ever made, so here’s your chance to score one on that amazing cardback.
BATTLE BEASTS (1987) – SQUIRE SQUIRREL & BLUDGEONING BULLDOG SERIES 2 AFA 85 NM+.
Poor Squire Squirrel. Nobody wants to share packaging with a bulldog named “Bludgeoning.” Luckily they have separate blisters, otherwise this could get ugly.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1989) – RAT KING SERIES 2/20 BACK CARDED ACTION FIGURE.
Much has been made of the new, handsome Rat King action figure that’s coming out, but the original Rat King was pretty good-looking. You can’t go wrong with the classics.
THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS (1986) SERIES 1 – PETER VENKMAN ACTION FIGURE ON CARD.
If you can look at this action figure and not hear voice actor Lorenzo Music’s dulcet tones, you are truly missing out. Place a bid and pop some RGB on the TV.
HASBRO WWF (1990) SERIES 1 – ANDRE THE GIANT ACTION FIGURE ON CARD.
The man born Andre Rene Roussimoff has gotten a lot of toys, but this was the first poseable figure, and still the only one that can actually head-butt your other toys into submission.
MEGO IRON MAN ACTION FIGURE IN BOX.
https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/272178/MEGO-IRON-MAN-ACTION-FIGURE-IN-BOX
The packaging on this vintage figure is not mint by any stretch, but you can still open it up and relive some classic Twisted Mego Theatre storylines.
MATTEL SPAIN SECRET WARS SERIES 3 ICEMAN AFA 80 NM.
https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/272522/MATTEL-SPAIN-SECRET-WARS-SERIES-3-ICEMAN-AFA-80-NM
Only available in Spain, this Secret Wars figure of Iceman sported the classic secret identity-revealin’ shield, which both protects him and exposes him at the same time. Available graded and ungraded.
