I always see Spy Troops and VvV stuff pretty cheap. I have recently seen a few harder to get ones though, like the 2nd version of Coil Crusher. I never knew these were difficult to find. Anyone have a list of other figures that are hard to find from these series?
There are a number of figs from this era that I want to get, but I don't know how hard they are to get. I am looking for Black Out, the red VvV Wild Weasel, and all the o-ring Neo Vipers. A few troop builder guys, too. Is this stuff hard to find? (And does anyone have it for sale or trade?) |

-Torch
-Sgt. Bazooka
-Snow Wolf (the removable helmet version)
-Shipwreck (Green version)
-Electric Eel (Grey and blue version)
-Coil Crusher v2
-Wild Bill (version packed w/ Coil Crusher v2)
Torch and the Snow Wolves typically command the highest prices. Other than those, most JvC/VvV era figures are pretty easy to find.
Some of the larger vehicle drivers may be a bit more expensive, too, I guess (like Slipstream and Night Force Wild Bill). Also, the 'anti-venom' version of Duke that came packed with SOME of the talking Duke 12" figures. | |

But mostly JvC/ST/VvV.

I really want Blackout, too I have a number of guys from this era on the way from a trade and a sale, but I still want a few more. That Heavy Water guy looks awesome! Still haven't found him on the boards. One dude had him listed but didn't actually have him, so I cancelled the whole lot sale :( | |

They don't sell individually and they sell for less than a dollar a piece in lots. For that price I'll just keep them and let my kids play with them all day long.
