Apparently they were released in much lower quanties than regular Argentinian figures, and the face that they were only available in Argentina in the first place increases their rarity as well.
Oh yeah, and they're even more rare to find in good condition, because the plastic and paint used was of a very poor quality. Last edited by DPrime; 08-11-2008 at 11:26 AM.. |

You also have to factor in that these were childrens toys, for children in Argentina. A country with a different culture, where children probably grew up and more often than not didn't become weird guys who collect toys

That's too bad for them. If they had all the originals MOC and sold them on EBay, they could probably BUY Argentina.

Also in my first post I might have come across a little harsh on collecting childrens toys, it's not a harmful hobby per se but some cats take this shit real serious, and that's not really something that's seen in developing nations

A Topson passed through my hands years ago, I had no idea what the hell it was until a guy offered me 400 bucks for it. When some guy sticks a bunch of 20's in your face for a figure you don't really ask many questions, you just take the money. I know a few high-profile collectors who spend a lot of money on these toys who haven't even seen a "Argen 7" figure.

Im sure there are carded mortal,shimik,manleh,redmack etc lying around somewhere in brazil, the owner themselves may not know the value of it,as he might not be a collector.
