I'lll actually stop lurking and throw my 2 cents in on this as well....
I have been collecting Joes as an adult for almost ten years now. What brought me back into Joe collecting was not the newsculpt stuff, not the 15th anniversary stuff from TRU, it was the fact that I found YoJoe and discovered the wealth of foreign Joe variants out there. So I can honestly say that I've been collecting foreign Joes for ten years.....early on, I had a huge desire to get the early India stuff. "funskool" and "india" have been two of my saved EBay searches for the whole time. In the ten years that I have been collecting Funskool Joes, I have only been able to get my hands on 3 figures that have any real rarity to them. I got a Superhero, but anyone who would pay $75 could get one five years ago. I got real lucky and got a Zap (with Steeler head) and a Beach Head (red and yellow); neither of which I've seen for sell since. I also got a caucasian Iceberg, which isn't that rare, but you don't see him for sale that often. There is a whole group of funskool figures out there that are among the rarest Joe items in the world, easily matching the rarity of the Argen 7 figures. In ten years, I have seen plenty of Argen 7 figures on EBay - hell, there are two on there right now. But I have NEVER even seen a even a loose example of a blue Hawk or a red Stalker offered for sale on EBay (I missed the one in 03), much less a carded one. Even a figure like the blue and yellow Bludd pops up once every year or two. IIRC, the last carded Bludd on Ebay sold for right at $2,500. So yeah, among those who know what these items really are, there is no doubt that if a MOC red stalker showed up on EBay it would likely go for well over $5000 and probably over $7500. There is "rare" as is you only see it for sale a couple of times a year and then there is "rare" as in you don't see one in ten years.......

Well apparently you have never heard anyone tell you your a smart person, because that sir would be the single dumbest thing you ever heard.
I'll give you a year to contact every person on every joe message board, and contact their contacts and you tell me how many carded red stalkers you find. I would be willing to bet my collection that you cant find 5 people that have it. You would probley have a hard time finding 5 people that have him loose and complete. But thanks anyway for adding your worthless 2 cents to the topic. Why dont you go troll the thread with people paying $400 for an over produced over hyped SDCC exclusive gold destro. Or just know what your talking about before you start yapping. |

I have a funskool snowjob on the early blackcard. I think the white figure on an all white cardback looks awesome.
